Both should be a shoe in.

Should be a no brainer for both

This is not going to be a popular opinion on this board but I’m not real sure a coach that only won two conference championships is HOF worthy.

Hope both make it. Both deserving!

I was gonna make a similar comment but decided against it. I love Richt and was driving his bandwagon longer than most people but I just don't know if you can put a coach into the HOF without a natty. He was a decent player at a big time program, was the Kirby of assistants before Kirby was a thing yet, and then did remarkably well at UGA (and actually had a nice blip of a season at miami to boot). When he left I said he was the best coach we've ever had. But no national titles and 2 sec titles over 15 years here just doesn't really shout Hall of Fame to me.

He deserves to get in because he made us relevant again. First SEC title in 20 years. Another one 3 years later. Finished #2 after the 2007 season and came within 5 yards of playing for a title in 2012. Only one really bad season and owned UT, AU, and GT. The only thing missing from his résumé is a Natty.

From a UGA perspective sure but I mean "making UGA better than under donnan" isn't really a HOF entry ticket.

Oh yeah, all those are great and part of the rason that I said he was the best coach we'd had. Better than Dooley. I'm not arguing against Richt's accolades or what he means to the UGA community. Just saying I don't think that resume warrants being in the HOF. Now granted, I don't really know what the entrace requirements are. Maybe other guys in the same boat have gotten in in which case yeah let him in. I would just assume that if you don't have a national title you better have a whole lot else going for you

I mean I think you have to factor in he was a major part of the FSU dynasty of the 90s. Head coaching record will obviously be weighted more than his coordinator time, but I think they would still take that into consideration.

I would put erk russell in before Richt.

No one cares about Erk but the two fan bases he worked for. Richt touched people all over the country.

Go ahead and name the non-uga college football coaches who have touched you.

They are 99% bulldawgs (i would throw Devon Gales in there as well).
I disagree with your entire premise.

I mean Dick Sheridan made it as did Wally Butts... someone who essentially mailed it in the last 10 years of his career and helped GT get to unprecedented heights in the 50's

Thats what you will tell yourself when Richt is voted in here shortly.
