After over a decade as HC at UGA, what do they have to show for it other than the, "Mark Richt Has Lost Control" meme. He has a wining record against Auburn and Georgia Tech? Big Woop. Auburn has experienced 3 coaching changes during his tenure and can still claim more SEC & National Championships
Auburn fired Gene Chizik 2 years removed from a NC so I know Richt would have been kicked to the curb years ago. How long would your school keep a coach known for arrest and failure to meet expectations? Even if he is a "really good guy"

Richt hasnt missed a bowl game in his tenure despite consistently playing 2 BCS conference teams each year in their OOC schedule.
Hes had 3 teams that were very close from playing in the MNC. He has represented the East numerous times in the SECCG. Every season is awesome to watch and we know that win/lose every game has the potential to be a W despite how good the team we are playing is....

He'd still be at our place. He would be gutted on the regular but he has the mental toughness to coach in this league. Not many do.
Add in he's a class guy and represents the school and conference well, most schools would be ecstatic to have him.

Richt has never done enough to be fired. I doubt he would have been fired at AU, as tubs and chizik actually did something/enough to cause themselves to be fired. He also always does well enough every now and then to retain his job.

When, specifically, would Auburn have fired him?

He also hasn't gone 0-8 in his conference.Easy with the whole high-and-mighty "wE eckspect eggsellence n nuthin butt @ AUBURN!!1" schtick. Most SEC schools fire their coach after 0-8 seasons in the conference. Mark Richt would still be around at any school but Alabama and maybe Florida or LSU.

It is weird but ever since I saw his reaction after that loss in the SECCG on 2012 I have had a new found respect for Richt. I don't want to rag on him...

He'd be one of our better coaches if not 2nd best.
His only challenge would be 'crootin.

Richt has completely lost control of Aubie fans.

It would be hard for any team in the sec to fire the guy with the moderate to really good success he has had.

Richt is a damn good coach that hasn't had things fall his way that other coaches have. But here's my main point, if we fire Richt, we would have no chance of replacing him with a coach that would be as good. Texas, arguably the number 1 coaching job in all of college football, just replaced Mack Brown with Charlie Strong. I believe that Richt is just as good, if not better than Strong. If Texas can only get Strong, who in the world are we going to get that is better than Richt? Kirby Smart (no head coaching experience, could be just like muschamp) or Chris Petersen (only coached in Northwest, never been at a big program)? If you can tell me a coach who is better than Richt, and will be better for UGA I would be happy to replace him. But since you can't, shut up.

his first 5 years would have bought him a lot of time barring a massive crash at any school other than Florida, Alabama and perhaps LSU.

Bama fans are a very kind and understanding bunch. We would certainly understand Coach Richt's limitations as a championship coach and would accept him for what he is. We would thank him for his efforts and offer him a TCBY yogurt cone and a contract extension after each underachieving season.
