Mark Richt

Head Football Coach
University of Georiga
October 31, 2005


After four years heading up the Bulldog program, Mark Richt has made it clear that winning with consistency will be a standard for years to come. In four seasons, his Georgia teams have won two SEC Eastern Division titles, one SEC championship, and his 42-10 record is sixth best in the country since 2001.

His 2004 team finished 10-2, won a third straight bowl game, and finished in the nation's top six in the final national rankings for the third consecutive season. Along the way in `04, the `Dogs defeated defending national champion LSU, Georgia Tech for the fourth straight time and upended Florida for the first time since 1997.

His Bulldog teams since he arrived are also an amazing 15-2 when playing on the opponents' home field.

After Georgia's first SEC championship in 20 years in 2002, the Bulldogs defeated Florida State, 26-13, in the Nokia Sugar Bowl and finished the season ranked number three. Richt had the `Dogs back in the title game again in `03, defeated Purdue in the Capital One Bowl, and had the `Dogs in the top ten again with a final USA Today/ESPN Coaches ranking of 6th and a final AP ranking of 7th.
