Where Should Mark Richt Be Ranked Nationally Among Coaches?
CBSSports.Com just came out with their national rankings for coaches in power five conferences. Mark Richt is ranked 15th by CBS in their rankings.
CBS’ caveat is that if he cannot capture an ACC Championship in the next few seasons with the Hurricanes he could in their words “slide quickly”. Richt did move up from being ranked 18th last season. The knock on Richt with the Bulldogs is that he didn’t win the big game often enough.
In 16 years as a collegiate Head Coach, Richt is 154-55. The Hurricanes went 9-4, 5-3 in the ACC in his first season. In his 15 years at Georgia, the Bulldogs won two SEC Championships and five SEC Eastern Division Championships.
