Georgia Football 2012: Can Mark Richt Win a BCS Championship?



Bleacher Report Article Link

Georgia football seems light years removed from the Bulldog team that finished 2010 a disappointing 6-7. But has a perception been born that Mark Richt isn’t capable of leading this program to a national championship?

In a recent Bleacher Report article, a survey of 554 respondents indicated that 79 people—14.3%—felt that Georgia had the talent to win the SEC this year, but not the coaching. That number seems surprisingly high to me. Richt has been the coach at Georgia since the 2001 season. In his 11 years, his teams have gone 106-38.

That’s just four games shy of averaging 10-3 a season for that time. Les Miles, who has coached major college teams for the same 11 years—with the past eight years in the SEC—is 103-39. Since 2001, the Bulldogs have won the SEC East Championship 4 times.

Their record in the conference championship game is 2-2 with Richt as coach.
