ATHENS, Ga. -- Mark Richt's critics will tell you he's the kind of man you'd want coaching your son -- unless you wanted him to beat Florida.
They'll tell you Richt is the kind of man you'd want representing your alma mater -- unless you wanted to win national championships.
In the end, that's why Georgia forced out Richt on Sunday, whether it's fair or not.
There's no question that Richt, who averaged nearly 10 victories per season, won a lot of games during his 15-year tenure at Georgia. He won more games (145) than every UGA coach except Vince Dooley, who won 201 times in 25 seasons.
