re: Better Coach: Mark Richt or Phil Fulmer

We need to look at the landscape they coached against.

Fulmer had only UF to compete with in the east. The next best team, UGA, won 10 games only twice that decade and was average to awful the rest of the time. Their west opponent bama was pretty average except for a handful of years.

Richt has had to face UT when they were still strong with fulmer, florida with meyer, and a resurgent SC team. Auburn is also very good. The overall quality of competition Richt is facing is far better than what fulmer did.

I don't have the time at the moment, but maybe later I'll go through each season. When you look at top to bottom overall resume, Richt's is better. Richt hasn't had the really bad seasons fulmer has had. The ONLY thing that would make anybody even think of saying fulmer is that he has a national title which, just like most of the SEC winners from 96-2012, involved quite a bit of luck. Fulmer didn't win a national title, Arkansas handed it to them.
