That is one sorry team… That Cox kid doesn’t deserve to start against the Nerds – I don’t care if we beat them or not! He is worse than James Jackson… and that’s saying something! And CMR shoulders the blame for both the short kickoffs and leaving the red head in after he completely self-destructed. Let’s take our chances with somebody else at QB next week…

“He gives us our best shot at winning” – you’re an idiot Mark Richt. You stupidly sat Moreno for more than a season when he should have been starting. You continue to play a subpar King instead of Ealy. And you played Cox to a 6 & 6 season after we get HUMILIATED by Tech next week. Stand by all those IDIOT supporting coaches who should have been fired 2 years ago.

Hey guys….just want to remind you that I helped beat Aubern this year…..that should buy me at least what….3 years as DC. CMR says that if I give up less than 50 to GT and less than 45 to Southwestern Missouri Tech in the Hoover Alabama Cottonell Toilet Bowl that I may even get the “assistant head coach” title.

I like MR but this is really horrible team managment. I can’t believe we lost to a team after kicking their butts for a half. How can a team go from dominating to poor in 30 min of football. Joe Cox may be a good kid but he’s not a D1 quaterback. The team couldn’t even win the game for UGA.

KFC extra crispies UGay. The Good News for Georgia Tech is Joe Cox will start. Tech’s defense needs someone to improve their numbers on. Please place an armed guard on Joe Cox so that he will be available on Saturday for more heroics. Why did they bury that dog in a chicken coop? If you want to see a real dog come to the Varsity and get one with chili on it. I hope Notre Dame doesn’t hire Willie Martinez as their new coach. We love him.

In this order, FABRIS-I have a 10 yr. old that has a better grip on special teams—MARTINEZ-Defense quit playing at halftime, or….no adjustments by Willie—RICHT-No control over the program, no development of talent, shades of Donnan.

Out coached… out played… all season long. The games we did win we won because we were either playing a high school, a team that was beat up or a team that was sub par in the first place. Oh… never mind… we just got beat by the cellar dwellers in the SEC East – at home – after losing our beloved mascot – on Senior night….
Wow – haven’t been this down on our Dawgs in a long time! I join the leagues of those who need to have something change in our coaching staff! Did you see our fans streaming out of the stands before the game was even over? Does Damon see that? Say Damon… do you see this? Do you?

Its one game, it doesn’t matter. What matters is beating Georgia Tech, no matter how the rest of the season has gone and it hasn’t been perfect, if we beat GT we’ve done very well and should be very proud. I think to say get rid of Richt, Martinez or Bobo is a horrible idea. These are the best 3 coaches in the SEC if not all of college football. We’ve been cheated all year by the referees and tonight was no different. Its just like last year, the referees cost us the national championship! Wake up people! The Bulldogs are still one of the elite teams in the nation and the last team anyone wants to play right now! We’ve got a hot hand, we beat Georgia Tech and fight for the at large BCS bid.

Questions to be answered….1)Why didn’t Joe Cox go somewhere else) 2) Did we not sign any other QBs in the past 3 years.3) Five major penalities? 4)Run the ball at will and then let Cox either fumble or throw an INT 5)Watch as our DBs never look back for the ball and always get penalizied 6) Tech will run for over 500 yards on us and we’ll continue to only put 4 in the box.6) OC,DC and special teams got to go,
there is another Dooley in Louisana and Kirby Smart in Alabama ??????

Unfortunately, there is no way CMR will replace both of HIS coordinators in the same season. Completely dismantling your coaching staff is more a reflection of the head coach and less of the staff. At MOST we may see one coordinator adjustment, but that would be a stretch. CMR will shoulder the responsibility for this abysmal season. He may bring in “consultants” but I’d be surprised if he made changes, as he built the program around loyalty.
Adams/Evans (let’s face it – they’re one) doesn’t have aggressive winning edge to intervene. I love Georgia and desperately want to see them atop the SEC again, but I fear the end is far from near.

You are probably right the players could coach themselves just as good. The could leave Cox’s sorry behind in Athens or better yet send hime back to North Carolina where he came from and let him finish his college with online classes. Poor Coaching is the reason they lost a lot of games this year. Cox should have been benched a long time ago and room been made someone else to play but hey next year we will have to start a QB with no experience and have another sub par season. How many teams in the history of the NCAA have won a conference championship or a national championship with a freshman or first year starter. He should have started Aaron Murray after the loss to Florida and let him get the game experience. If his thinking was to save his redshirt eligibility well he was saving it for another coach to use because if hes not fired this year he wont last much longer.
