And his 1st 12 seasons were much better than Kelly

by comparison.

1) his worst season was 2010 (6-7)

2) he won 2 sugar bowls and finished 3 both seasons (2002 and 2007)

3) in 2012 (his 3rd best season) they went 12-2, finished 4th, and lost 32-28 in the SEC championship game to the same Bama team that blew us out.

While he had some blowout losses (Meyer/FL in particular) he also had some good wins.

Richt's record against Meyer and Saban isn't good; 1-5 vs Meyer and 2-4 vs Saban (both wins while Saban was at LSU). While obviously not good, how would Kelly's success be if Michigan and USC were at their prime? We'd still be calling him CoachoCinco despite the "v2.0".
