First, regardless of how he did it, he has played in 5 SEC title games. Also, he whipped up on the BIG FOUR (AU, Tech, UT and UF) as opposed to Donnan, who had a dismal record.
Also, he did finish #2 and #3 in BCS standings over the years.
I don't think he embezzled and money either:)
Donnan's winning % outside of that first year... 73%
Richt's winning percentage 73%
Donnan in bowl games 4-0
Richt in bowl games 8-5, last 5 at 2-3.
Richt did finish #2 and #3.... and he has finished outside the top 20 a few times as well. Other than
that first season, Donnan's teams finished 17th or higher in the coaches poll every season.
Just numbers that are factual, guys.
