luck doesn't magically make Fulmer a better coach than Richt
This is the one thing that some people will just never be able to wrap their brains around.
I made this point on our board last week. I hate to bring it up again, but take the '12 seccg. I'm making a serious point, so flames and lol gifs aren't needed, thanks. Let's say that we complete that last pass to malcolm mitchell and win the sec and play nd. In all likelihood, we beat notre dame. So, when it comes to richt's resume, that one play is the difference between 2 sec titles and 0 nattys and 3 sec titles and 1 natty.
Regardless of the outcome of that one play, would that make richt any different as a coach? If that play had gone different, would he all of a sudden be a better or worse coach? Would he do anything differently in 2014 based on that play? No, he's still the EXACT same coach regardless of what happened.
That is ONE play, taking 5 seconds of game clock, that is the difference between people saying richt underachieves and shoudl have been fired years ago and richt is excellent and the best coach we've ever had and he should be given a 5 year contract extention. Based on one play.
That's simply illogical.

i don't disagree with any of that, but i can understand the frustration georgia fans have with him. he seems to always start the season with 2 early losses then finishes the season with a strong squad that can compete with anyone. it's just become a pattern. i actually really like richt. think he is a stand up guy and great person all around. i just think at some point he's going to have to take the next step as a program, much like bianco finally did last night for ole miss' baseball program.

There is a difference really (and they can have difference answers...
- Who has the better resume?
- Who is the better coach?
- Who has the better resume?
- Who is the better coach?

So richt gets the credit for the one play that didn't go his way, but fulmer doesn't get credit because of one play that did go his way?
That's simply illogical.

I agree. However, there is that ONE play in other coaches lives that changed thier legacy, fair or unfair, and Richt has that ONE play.
One Play and AU wins the National Title last year.
One Play and Miami beat Oh St in 2002.
One play and GT is unanimous national champs in 1990.
There are a ton of One Plays out there...that is football life, fair or unfair.
