Yeah let's prematurely fly a banner for an elite coach. This has never bitten us in the *** before. You guys are crying about recruiting during the dead period. Grow the **** up.
Elite? Who? Richt? Hahahahaha. GTFO with this elite crap. Dude aint elite. He was FIRED from Georgia. Elite coaches do not get fired. Our receiver and defensive back recruiting is a joke right now. Utter garbage. With a month left. That is ominus as **** no matter how you look at it. His team has had a year to build an incoming class. That is plenty of time. Especially if he was elite. Which he aint.
He had the 4th highest winning percentage among active coaches over a 15 year period. You want to use Georgia's definition of elite, go right ahead and root for Kirby Smart and that freight train he has up in Athens.
And I bet Richt, Georgia AD, and all of their fans would have thrown the win percentage stat out the window for some actual success. 2 conference titles in 15 years, losing record against your rival (Florida) and no national championship appearance much less win in 15 years is not elite. No coach that isn't the miami coach being discussed by miami fans with that kind of **** list is being called elite.
He is a good coach, in the top half of the power 5, he is not elite with his results that matter - trophies.
