FALSE. Richt is the best QB coach in the country and it might not be close. While QB coach at FSU he coached 2 Heisman Trophy winners. He then came to UGA and coached an unheralded 3* recruit to the most wins by a QB ever in college football history. Followed that up by taking a first year starter and led him to the SEC championship. Followed that up by having the overall #1 pick in the NFL draft, and has now taken a freshman and has led him to one of the best statistical seasons in UGA history.
People may give Richt guff for a lot of things, but if there is ONE area where the man is unparalleled it's QB coaching.
Richt is good, and he may equal Petrino in development of QBs. But I think he falls short of Petrino at scheming and playcalling.
And he doesn't have Petrino's proven NFL success.

He not only equals Petrino, he surpasses him.

Right, and I never mentioned either one of those 2 areas. My entire post was simply about QB coaching.

And Petrino doesn't have the success I have at my job. Probably because he's never had it, much like Richt has never been an NFL coach.

Please don't talk about play calling so soon after the fiasco known as the Iron Bowl.

You mean the success he had in Atlanta? I wouldn't go yelling that from the rooftops. The minute he began to fail, he bolted. He didn't even finish the season. He is good at teaching QBs in college the scheme, but does not seem to be able to teach them what they need to know to operate at the next level much like Spurrier. And I'm certainly not saying LSU does, but Flynn is still suiting up for an NFL team ala Jimbo Fisher. Mallet will go in the first round and may succeed in part because of what he's learned prior to coming to Arkansas combined with some of what he learned at Arkansas along with intangibles that simply cannot be coached.
Just remember, the pros are not just looking for big numbers. If that were the case, the NFL would be flooded with QBs from Texas Tech and Hawaii over the years.
Congrats on the win, though.
