Only the lunatics, most of us rational thinkers appreciate what he did and when he left us you can easily make a case he was the best coach we've ever had.
With that said, there is a very clear dichotomy in his tenure from early days to late days. 02-08 was mighty fine, and probably one of the best stretch runs we've had in our history if I had to guess. 09 was mediocre and 10 was downright atrocious. 11 was mediocre, 12 was one last gasp at being great, 13 was mediocre (although that was primarily due to injuries), 14 was alright, and 15 was downright bad.
The last few years of richt barely even resembled the 02-05 era richt.
So yes he DID do some fantastic things for us but people hating on richt solely for the last years of his tenure aren't too terribly far off base.

Yea, it's pretty intellectually dishonest to act like Georgia people wanted to fire early era Richt or act like the end of Richt was the same as the start.
It's the exact same argument as the Miles thing. Both had great first halves and by the second half of their tenures both programs were underachieving and not in the national picture. And at Georgia and LSU, that's not good enough given the sole main state University status and players available.
