I can't believe it took this long, but something just dawned on me. It might only interest me, but here goes:

Coach Richt's record over his first 7 seasons between the hedges is a sparkly 72-19 (79.1%). Jim Donnan's career record at Georgia over his 5-year run was 40-19 (67.8%).

So what?, you say? Notice the same number of losses. For Donnan to have attained the same record as Coach Richt had he been retained by Vince Dooley, he would have had to go on an all-time 33-game winning streak (UVA + 32 more wins).

That boggles my mind. Oh and for the record, that 72nd win would've been the 2003 Alabama game.
