I honestly don't think it takes a great coach to win a NC. Hell, Les miles did it and while he is a very good coach, he is far from great. If Richt ever got a game changer (i.e. Tebow, Manziel, Cam Newton) I think he could pull it off. What makes Bama so successful every year is a great core of RB's, a NFL caliber defense every year and a hard nosed defensive minded coach who doesn't coddle his players. It is a recipe for success. Player's coaches like Miles and Richt will always be successful, but you have to be tough on these kids to keep them focused for an entire season to win it all. Just my 2 cents.

Uhhh it most certainly doesn't, auburn just did it 4 years ago.

He's had several, you still gotta have a defense though. Tebow was a gamechanger and won the heisman the same year his team lost 4 games due to their defense.

the best coach in america, an NFL-caliber OL, great RBs, above average WRs, and an elite, top 5 national defense.

Richt's not winning a title has nothing to do with his personality or how he treats his players.
