Today, the University of Georgia and Mark Richt mutually agreed to end his tenure as the school’s head football coach. This move is representative of all that is wrong in college sports specifically and our nation as a whole. His removal shows a complete lack of understanding of what it means to be a successful leader.
In addition to the infographic shown above, the following are just some of Coach Richt’s additional accomplishments:
- Two-time SEC champion
- Five-time SEC East Division champion
- 144-51 record while at Georgia
- Two-time SEC Coach of the Year
- 2013 Stallings Award for commitment to humanitarian and community service.
- 9-5 bowl game record
- 1 year removed from being the 2014 season-ending 9th ranked team in the country.
- Six Top 10 finishes in 15 years
But what I and many others will remember about the Mark Richt era is the lasting impact of his Christian leadership. Other than the man who led him to Christ in 1986, former Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden, I have never witnessed a coach who represented Christ in such an honorable fashion. In fact, listen to the interview below with Paul Finebaum where at the 4-minute mark he begins discussing his faith in Christ. Notice the impact his life has on those in the media.
