re: Why does UGA accept mediocrity?

There are maybe 10 more coaches I'd rather have over Richt, so MAYBE 15 total

With UGA being about the 11th-15th best program historically, that is probably correct.

Now, UGA should probably compete at a top 10 level given where Georgia (the state) and UGA are in the overall landscape, but still, tossing the dice to trade a top 15 coach for a top 8 one is a major gamble unless and until you have a sure bet candidate in mind.
