Coaching Class of 2001 -- The year we hired Richt

This article on the Coaching Class of 2001 looks at the records of all 24 coaches hired in Div I-AA that year vs. the three years prior to their arrival at their respective new schools. It was designed to look at the horribly unsuccessful career of John Bunting at UNC.

As a UGA fan, it makes a great read for appreciating Mark Richt. It's also eye opening to look at how hard it is to hire and keep an elite coach. Of the 24 coaches hired in 2001, there are only 4 elite coaches in that list -- Pete Carroll, Jim Tressell, Mark Richt and Rich Rodriguez -- who remain at their original schools just 6 seasons later.


The Donald should be allowed to handle Bunting.
