I was musing about coaches who fairly consistently win nearly every game they should, but lose critical games to rivals or strong programs, so they may end up 11-2, but the 2 means the season was ... nowhere close to a championship.
Richt was like that, people accues Franklin of being that way, and perhaps Day could join that group. You beat inferior teams but lose to teams roughly as good as you or are major rivals.
That 11-2 might look better if you beat your rivals but get upset a couple of times.
