Compare the first seven full seasons for both Fulmer and Richt, they're almost identical aside from Fulmer's NC. Overall, Fulmer is 152-52 / bowls 8-7, 2 SEC Champs, 6 SEC East Titles, and 1 COY ('98) Award while Richt is 145-51 / bowls 9-5, 2 SEC Champs, 6 SEC East Titles and 2 ('02 & '05) COY Awards, again very similar sans the natty.
Saw on ESPN where Richt has seen Nacho Libre over 50 times. I remember when Lyle was hired here he was asked by a local radio guy what his favorite Motley Crue song was and he stumbled, bumbled and finally said "We're Not Going To Take It" (which of course was by Twisted Sister, not Crue). It's the little things in coaching, imho.
10 consecutive years of achieving nothing of note in one of the most talent rich areas in the country, what would you call it? What he's accomplished at Georgia the last 15 years is pretty much bare minimum.
If Richt didn't shit the bed against Fulmer in 2007 then he'd probably have a national championship too. At least that team would have had an even shot against LSU for the SEC. 2012 can be blamed on Saban existing. Fulmer likely wouldn't have done as well in the era Richt was at UGA, but they are very similar.
Well, he doesn't reek even worse than my nuts do, but he don't smell like a fresh can of tennis balls either.
That's why the shitiest program in a power 5 conference, Kansas, wouldn't hire Fulmer, after Fulmer let it be known he was interested and Richt lands a job in less than a week.
As long as we're entertaining the hypothetical.... Clint Stoerner doesn't put that ball on the ground... Fulmer has no Natty. The 'Cuse game was pretty miraculous too.
