If that's what you want to compare him to, so be it.
I'm not sure how good of an in-game coach Richt is, but I'm a little surprised he hasn't been able to take advantage of the SEC East sucking for two or three years with the talent he has.

So Tennessee's version of present day Mark Richt
Maybe. That's why this season is so important.
With the aforementioned Vandy game we were forced to play a true freshman and our only WR threat went down in the first few minutes. Our defense sucked that year and we had no pass rush. Our coaches went conservative after North went down but a few key penalties also cost us as did a call. For example, without Pig Howard's block in the back we win that game despite going concervative. We also had no threat at RB. It's hard to win when you have no defense, no passing game, and no running game save for your true freshman QB who was playing hurt.
With UF last year our OL sucked donkey balls to put it lightly as did Worley who had nothing left after the UGA game. He was sacked or hurried constantly. At one point, UF only had to rush a few players to get to the QB. We had to rely on dink and dunk passing and UF knew it and their secondary ate us alive not only because they were good but also because they knew what was coming due to our offensive limitations. Despite all that UF only won by a point BUT as a fan it was frustrating as hell. Worley didn't play like he had the game before at UGA. Fans hate to admit it but UF was more talented and not by a little but by a whole lot. Even so the OL cost us that game.
So again, the jury is still out. He could very well be a Marc Richt type but he could also be better than that or even worse. Getting more talent and enough depth to where you're not looking for warm bodies will tell the tale.
