So you dont think Richt should have been fired?
The only good senior on Smarts first team was Maurice Smith (brought over from Alabama).
What other seniors were there? Greyson Lambert who lost his starting job at Virginia and couldnt beat out a true freshman at UGA in 2016 that was recruited by Richt.
Smart transformed an offensive line from 285 pounds per player to over 310 pounds in his second season.
I never said Richt was the best man for the job at UGA, but his run in 2012 is pretty much equal to Kirby's run in 2017.
That said, Smart inherited a team that had gone 19-6 in their last two seasons under Richt. He lost nearly that many games in his inaugural season.
And if we're being fair, Smart inherited an East with just one consistent opponent - Florida, and one that was having a lot of trouble finding an offensive identity.
Richt's last 4 seasons at UGA:
12-2
8-5
10-3
9-3
Smart's 4 seasons at UGA:
8-5
13-2
11-3
12-2
They both have almost the exact same number of losses. UGA finished 3-1 in the post season at the end of both 4 year stretches.
I'm saying that, compared to Ole Miss and a sanction-gutted Michigan State, the comparison is that Orgeron and Saban were given the keys to a Pinto and a VW Bus, and you're here saying that Kirby getting to race them in a 2 year old Mustang is "equal".

They have to make excuses for the 40 year hiatus

Not when you get into quality wins.
2015, Richt went 10-3 with losses to the only ranked teams that he played.
2019, Smart went 12-2 with 4 wins over ranked opponents.
It is a little disingenuous to look at number of losses when 1 coach is in conference championships/playoffs while the other coach is playing unranked teams in bowl games.

I agree. It isnt equal. The "third year" was his statement. I just brought the actual data from the third year to the thread.

Pretty much still isn’t equal. The defense was clearly better in 2017.

Forget the mulligan of 2016. That year was gonna be trash no matter who the coach was.
Kirby just had a better 3 year run than richt ever did.

I can’t believe you are using the 2015 10-3 uga team as an example to support this silly point. That team was trash
