Georgia Bulldogs Head Football Coach Mark Richt has life all figured out. Coach Richt has managed to put the excitement back into Georgia Bulldog football again. After six seasons, Richt possesses a 61-17 record in the toughest conference in football. Enough said.
There is more. Mark Richt manages to keep a healthy balance in his life with time spent with family, in church and with the Georgia faithful, Bulldog alumni. As other coaches grind it out worrying about upcoming seasons, Richt lives in a zone of confidence, knowing that his team will compete and can be in a position to win every game.
Why Richt Wins-- First Richt gets great players. No doubt about it, Georgia has recruited and listed some of the best players in the country for the last decade. When you have great players, obviously there is more margin for error.
The brilliance of Mark Richt is he is constantly working to do better. When he makes a mistake, he admits it, and tries to resolve it so it won't happen in the future. This understanding of leadership is what seperates Mark Richt from the rest of the pack. Coach Richt is constantly analyzing his own performance and trying to do better. These are traits of a strong leader and a winner.
Good People Make Better Team Players--Richt takes his great players and turns them into good people by having them do community service. He builds player character by encouraging responsible behavior. Coach Richt works very hard to explain to players the consequences of risky behavior. Richt knows good people make better team players.
It is all about Confidence--Confidence in the system will keep it close even when momentum in a game may be going against you. The Bulldogs always believe they can make the big play, and usually when one guy goes down, he is quickly replaced by another strong player.
The SEC is fortunate to have Mark Richt. He is a good person, a likeable leader and he is a winner on the football field.

To the top of the SEC East? Seriously? I believe that title, along with the more important National one resides down I-75 South...and he isn't making the good people do community service. He's punishing the MULTIPLE players that make bad decisions year in and year out. Underage consumption, bar fights, driving with suspended licenses, attacking TAs in class, etc, etc.
I guess it's ok to recruit players with questionable character traits because they can make up for it on Saturdays.
