Mark Richt was 10-5 vs AU in his 15 years at UGa.

That run included 2 SEC Championships, 2 wins in 3 major bowl appearances, 7 top 10 finishes and won 74% of his games. He never won a national title.
By way of comparison, in his final 15 seasons at Alabama, Paul W. Bryant won 9 SEC Championships, won 5 of 10 major bowl appearances, had 11 top 10 finishes including 3 national titles (2 split, 1 consensus) and won 81.4% of his games.
His record against AU over those 15 seasons was 11-4.
So long Saint Mark. You will not be missed on the Plains.

So what I'm learning here is that the Bear was a better coach than Richt. Interesting.

2007 really messed him up. It's amazing how that South Carolina game still haunts him so many years later.
Just to keep in mind:
Joe Paterno- 17 years to win NC at Penn State
Bobby Bowden- 18 years to win NC at Florida State
Tom Osborne- 22 years to win NC at Nebraska
Before their NC, their records looked incredibly similar to Richt's. Eventually he would've pulled it together. Never should've been fired

Neat now compare to Tuberville at Auburn.
