There is a difference really (and they can have difference answers...
- Who has the better resume?
- Who is the better coach?
Agree.
the first one really isn't even up for debate. It's fulmer and since we're talking about black and white numbers it's not really disputable.
As for who's the better coach? That is debatable, and I'd go with Richt. Fulmer did most of his damage beating up on a pretty weak SEC that had only 2 or 3 really good teams every year. Richt is facing a much tougher league. In one year, Richt had to coach against dennis erickson, nick saban, urban meyer, phil fulmer, steve spurrier, and tubs. Fulmer never had to face anything close to that gauntlet.

It could also be said that Fulmer and Spurrier raised the bar for the rest of the SEC to catch up too. No denying Fulmer lost his touch in the last 4 years, but Mark Richt has never set a standard in this conference like Fulmer did in his prime. I would argue Fulmer was one of the best if not the best recruiter in the country back in the day.

Well that's just untrue
