Poll time: Who deserves most blame for Georgia’s offense?

Richt is ultimately responsible for the whole she-bang. especially when you remember he was an offensive ‘genius’ back at FSU in the 90s. it’s his boat to fix. Regardless of who the QB is.

The only explanation for an offensive line that EVERY YEAR starts slow and finishes strong is a lack of physical conditioning out of season. It baffles me how the running game can be this poor. I am tired of draw plays on second and third and long. Mike Bobo may one day develop into an adequate coordinator but to me that is why Coach Richt was hired in the first place, because HE was a great O-Coordinator at FSU. While I acknowledge that at times Richt was predictable in his playcalling it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that Bobo is overmatched much like Martinez last year. Not that he cant one day have success but I question how is it we are supposed to compete for championships when the coordinators at other top programs have far superior resume’s.

Either Coach Richt cleans house, or the AD does. I’d like to see Rick stay, but he needs to get past what one writer above calls “blind loyalty” to his staff. That’s true. Richt’s duty is to his players first, and then the fans (who pay the bills). Not Bobo, not any assistant coach, not anyone else but the players and the fans.

I wish someone would clear up the deal where Ealey is in the endzone with the ball at his feet, without a helmet on, and the play is continuing. Would’ne the play be over the moment his helmet came off? And if the play was continuing, why would’nt he attempt to grab the ball. Help me out.

Richt is responsible for the success or failure of the program. This is why he makes over $2MM year. A lot of pressure a lot or reward. CMR and family will be fine having made over $25-$30MM in 10 years (not to mention the negotiated buyout).

That said, it sure would be swell if the asst coaches realized that the gravy train is coming to an end. I remember Rodney Garner saying he stayed at UGA instead of going to UT specifically because Mark Richt was such a great boss and a great person. Time to step up and save the guy.

Unfortunately it looks like the staff is taking advantage of Richt’s nature.

This is a strange situation. It is true that the Dawgs SEC record for the last eleven SEC games is atrocious. However, CMR had the program at 11-2 and 10-3 three and two years ago respectively. In Jan. 08, CMR’s team was ranked no. 2 in the nation following the 07 season. In 08, the Dawgs went 10-3 which by most team’s standards is very good.

Although I am sick of this losing streak and the off field problems, I vote we get behind Coach Richt and give him a much deserved chance to adjust his staff and fix the problems which I believe in time he will. I am not about to cut loose a good man who has brought so much success to UGA’s football program. Keep fighting Dawgs.

CMR said they call running plays without considering the defense scheme….REALLY?

• Report this comment

I voted Bobo, but there is a lot of fault to go around.

Richt does bear some of the burden. He’s at the top, but I don’t think he’s the core problem. Look at the Arkansas game last week when he coached the team up at the start of the 4th quarter. They came back and would have won that game if not for that horrendous call on 3rd and 4 (made by BOBO). BUt again, Richt knows the plays being called, I imagine, so he’s not completely outta the woods.

Bobo takes the largest portion of the blame, methinks. Uncreative playcalling, while bothersome, doesn’t get to me as much as Bobo calling crap plays when he should know it’s gonna be a crap play. How many times did we try to run Carlton Thomas (the SMALLEST of our RBs) straight ahead into a blitzing Miss. St. defense? Use the toss play with Thomas, for goodness sake! And why did Caleb King only get a handful of carries? Is his ankle still not 100%? And why not throw the bomb until the game’s over? And why use play action at all against a blitz-heavy defense like that? It just takes time you don’t have to develop a play. Bill King was right: if there isn’t amazing talent to compensate (Stafford, Moreno), Bobo shows he sucks as a playcaller.

On the other hand, though, the O-Line is playing ATROCIOUSLY. For a team that has a million combined starts, they’re playing like a buncha schlubs. Did anyone else see the play against MSU where literally NO ONE on the line blocked ANYONE and caused Ealey to get nailed behind the line? I’d demote all of them and open up competition and make sure the best men play on the line. I don’t care if they’re walk-ons, vets, freshmen, whatever. This o-line (coached by Searels) was supposed to be the heart of this offense, but it’s become the biggest on-the-field liability.

A.J. Green also is at fault. Yeah, I don’t know if we’d have won with him there, considering the horrible o-line, but when your most talented receiver does what he did, it hurts the team. Honestly, I’d boot him from the team at this point. Or at least not play him. Yeah, the rule that got him booted is antiquated, but it’s still the rule. And he knowingly broke it. I hope that $1000 was worth it, A.J.

I can’t find too much fault with the defense. Yeah, they’re not perfect, but they’re doing heads and shoulders better than last year in terms of points given up. Yeah, I wish we could play a game without giving up a TD on the opponent’s first offensive series (making us play from behind), but they’re showing improvement over last year, which is what we wanted.

We are also making mistakes that are costing us TDs, including the blatant penalty that cost us Durham’s amazing TD run and Ealey’s multiple fumbles. Speaking of which, when did Ealey get butterfingers? I don’t remember him fumbling hardly at all last year. What happened?

Hell, the best player on the team is the one we were the most unsure about: Aaron Murray. Kris Durham is also doing extremely well, but I hope he doesn’t miss any time due to his injury. Have we heard anything else about that?

So, to wrap it all up, there’s more bad than good, but there’s still some good. And I think Mark Richt is still the man to right the ship. However, I think that if things get really, really bad, he’ll resign before he gets forced out. He doesn’t seem like the type to make the school/team potentially suffer because he doesn’t want to go. UGA is more important that any one man, and I think Richt understands that.

Richt.

Richt is WAY too passive. I think that he spends so much time passively teaching the kids what to do when they fail that the players miss the point of the play in the first place. It is always “Keep your poise when you screw up…keep your head up.” Urban Meyer and Nick Saban actively teach their kids NOT TO FAIL in the first place. If you set the expectation for success maybe you realize success. If you set the expectation for failure…you probably get that too.

Richt should also shoulder the responsibility for our complete failure on Special Teams. Have you ever in your life seen a team look like we do when the other team is punting!? We look ridiculous! No punt return set up and no block on either? What a joke–It looks like a walk through taking place in a real live game!!!

While much of this failure is attributed to Richt I would like to congratulate him on one achievement. He has recruited and coached up the single best Fair Catch Specialist in the history of college football. Logan Gray has all the tools–he does everything right: he waves his hand as the ball is coming towards him, catches it, hands the ball to the ref, and jogs back to the sideline. Incredible job with this one coach!

One question though…why hasn’t any other team in college football ever needed a Fair Catch Specialist? I’ll bet it is because some of the teams try and actually return punts. That might take practice though. I know, I know…our hectic practice schedule is way too tight to add 15 minutes for Special Teams–what with all the trips to the pool and the NOT tackling going on.

Keep’em coming Schultz…love the Weekend Predictions!

Georgia has 3 problems:

One, the O-line cannot run block. Stacey Searels hasn’t gotten the job done and needs to go. This line has underachieved for 3 years and there’s of talent for that to be a top flight unit. UGA’s record would look drastically different with good run blocking.

Second, we have no Nose Tackle. We knew this going into the season and I’m not surprised that we can’t stop the inside run. It just hurts to see it happen.

Third, learning the 3-4 is much more difficult than we hoped. Although, I suspect that a lot of the open receivers in our secondary is a result of corners and linebackers trying to cheat against the run instead of staying on their assignments. You’d have to see the coach’s tape to know that.

Mike Bobo is not the problem on offense. Everyone that wants Richt to go back to calling plays obviously doesn’t remember his ultra-conservative, ‘sideways’ offense. Everyone was thrilled when he “grew” as a head coach and gave those duties to Bobo.

Bobo has called great games with the pieces that he has had. The first 2 years with Stafford, our line couldn’t block anybody and we had to run a lot of screens and quick passes to compensate. Also, our receivers were dropping passes for 2 years straight.

With Joe Cox, we couldn’t throw the ball farther than 20 yards and we still couldn’t block anyone except Vandy and Tech and that’s because those D-lines were undersized.

Richt, ultimately is responsible for the problems, then it trickles down from there. He needs to have more imput, if not all, into the offensive play calling, giving Bobo at the least a demotion back to QB coach, which frankly I think suits him very well.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Searles needs to go. His linemen have done nothing but underachieve, and at best put a half a season together consistently since his arrival.

Discipline is a big problem, and that lies with Richt.

Richt needs to get an answer from Grantham about constant blown coverages, and the fact that the D-line is being humiliated and blown off the line of scrimmage on every play. Find a way to get some beef up there. Unfortunately Anderson’s lost for the year. He provided a very big boy that could have plugged that line up.

Bobo needs to step aside and give Richt back control of the play calling again, or for crying out loud, at least open the freaking play book up. If something consistently does not work, stop going to it. That doesn’t take a genius. Stop with the conservative crap on 2nd and 3rd and long, etc.

Also, Jeff, I disagree with your assessment of the only receiver doing anything being Durham. Quite frankly, Tavares King has been very impressive, but isn’t thrown to nearly enough. Same goes with Charles.

Kickoff teams continue to be a huge dud. Who’s responsible for that?
1. Richt
2. Fabris.
End of story!

As far as the defense goes, I’ve been the most disappointed in them, save the O-line play. Where is all this aggression and blitzing and pressure on the QB’s we were promised that we’ve all missed so badly since VanGorder’s departure?

I will say one thing though about that, how many times have you seen it take until the second season for things to work out for a new coaching staff? It happens frequently, whether talking about a head coach or an assistant. So maybe things will get better after the new system’s been in place. Who knows?

I kept wondering Saturday and the Saturday before, what happened to that coach that took a new team up to Knoxville in 2001 as under-dogs and saw that Travis kid take a screen pass 60+ yards with a few seconds left. (An unprobable play, mind you). I felt like given that same situation today, this team simply would give up at that point and go home with the heads hung low. But in 2001, they kept fighting even though it seemed at the time to be impossible to win that game considering all factors. I felt it, and so did most of you. Because until then for years, we had seen game after game slip away. Yet they did pull it off. And we have a “hob-nail boot” story to tell forever because of it. Where have these passionate coaches and players gone? I know the passionate fans are still out there. We’re just tired of being disappointed over and over.

And finally, yes, if Richt somehow manages to right the ship and win out, it will take this heat off, but based on what I’ve seen thusfar, I ain’t got a lot of faith in that happening. Please prove me wrong.

Bobo aint helping with his horribly predictable play calling.

I suggest EVERY coach on the team start holding each player responsible for their actions.
If they make mistakes over and over, get them out of the game.
If they are not smart enough to make an adjustment, get them out of the game.
This all goes for off the field too.

Until this happens UGA will continue to struggle and poor results follow.

Well as many has said already it starts from the top. My opinion and im no coach but UGA has been known for yrs as a power (in ur face) type of team. The main prob now is we lack power!!! Our O-line is weak and our backs are nothing special, no speed, no tackle breaking abilities and no power. Ingredients for power football, which we lack!! So with this being said you need to try something new to make what u have work. This is the challenge for the coaches. Try to find a way to makem them look good. They obviously have looked good at some point or they wouldnt be there to begin with. Murray is doing ok, i guess. Defense needs to focus on pass proection!!!! DUH!! We aint bad on the run,not great either. I think our defense has for the most part kept us in the games but no scoring is the biggest issue. Try options or tosses or something different, please.

The Reaction from UGA Commitments…

——————————————————————————–

I checked in with a number of the Georgia commitments for you guys to see what they had to say about their commitment. I asked them all the same question – What does UGA’s slow start mean to you and does it affect you at all?

Here is what they said…

Chris Mayes: “The slow start does not affect me at all.”

David Andrews: “UGA is young at key positions and their defense is learning a new system on the fly. I’m a Georgia boy and will always be a Dawg because it’s the red and black no matter what.”

Amalo Herrera: “I think it is just that a lot of players are out and that they are learning a new defense. My feelings for UGA haven’t changed.”

Hunter Long: “I think they are just going through a rough patch and I think they still have a chance to be good this year when they get stuff worked out. What they are doing now has no effect on my choice. I am still solid to UGA.”

Nathan Theus: “It is unexpected. I still feel that the Lord has led me to Georgia for a reason. Things can always change, but I am not about winning and losing. If things were to change, I know I have to keep my opportunities open and keep evaluating. I’m going to keep Christ first and I know I will end up in the right place.”

Sterling Bailey: “It hurts, but I know this year is a rebuilding year and I have faith that by the end of the season, it will be different. Next year we will be ready and more determined than ever. Their losing does not change my decision at all. I am going to stand on my choice no matter what. Go Dawgs!”

I blame the previous administration for everything not right in the world. Can we get a bail out down in Athens? A hand out of sorts? I know they haven’t “earned” any wins in the SEC but can the Gov just give us some?? Let’s take away a win from Bama and a win from Auburn, wins they earned. We need to spread the wealth in the SEC

BromoDawg, that worked before the new, “Super Coaches” in the SEC. Richt would be just as inept as Bobo at gameplanning for a conference game.

Kiffin said, “Georgia is the easiest team on our schedule to prepare for. They are running the same stuff they have run for 10 years.” That was BEFORE a mediocre UT held Bobo/Richt to (THREE) points.

I agree it would help, at least temporarily, but Richt needs new blood at OC. Someone who can add in some spread offense, and someone who can utilize our tight ends. Dammit, we have 3 of the best tight ends in the country, and the’ve caught, what, 5 passes in 4 games?

Mistake #2 = Keeping your friend 2 years too long at DC
Mistake #3 = Redshirting Moreno
Mistake #4 = No one ready to fill in for Moreno when he left early
Mistake #5 = No one ready to fill in for Stafford when he left early
Mistake #6 = Not playing Murray or Metzenburger last year (I know Murray was hurt but not the entire year, if Murray continues to progress then he will leave early)
Mistake #7 = Making Bobo the OC, he wasn’t and isn’t ready. Probably will be one day but still too young.
Mistake #8 = Not injecting new blood in the recruiting process. Gardner is getting old, Grantham is pro coach who proablay loathes recruiting, Lakatos is from the North (No Connections), that leaves Bobo as our best recruiter besides Gardner.
Richt can pull this out but needs to face his mistakes and correct them immediately.

U see with Alabama u know what they are fixin to do and with the power they got u cant stop them. So if your going to be this predictable u need that kind of power so that it woulnt matter if the other team knows. You would do it anyway. We need to find a way of mixing it up. Doing things that noone would expect. Not the ol “wilddog” either, thats never worked. Look at that play Miss St did Sat when they converted.

“Blame” is just the lazy way of dodgin an actual explaining of something and you don’t know the answer to. At fault is the inability to run block. Period. Everything else is just white noise. No, thats not the only problem but its the only one that matters. None of the other stuff matters IF the line was creating the holes we need to have even an average running game. Nobody would care about the play calling, nobody would care who was animated on the sideline, nobody would care that we have an imature team. Nobody would care because we would be 3-1 if not 4-0. Can’t run. Simple as that. Way too many factors as to why we can’t run the ball to pin the “blame” on one thing or one person.

“Responsibility” goes without saying and nobody needs to point out that coaches are responsible for the performance of thier team.

WonderDawg – nope. I just remember that Richt at UGA was not Richt at FSU. I think that a lot of people who kill Bobo are listening to the commentators too much and not watching the game critically. The people saying that he only wants to go downfield all the time are wrong. Most of the pass plays have routes at 2-3 levels. You can’t expect the primary receiver to be open at the right time, every time…that’s called football. The problem is the O-line, plain and simple…and it has been for a long, long time.

I’ve heard that the strength and conditioning program is weak also. I don’t know about that, but I’ve played plenty of offensive line and it’s easy to see when the guys can’t open holes. If we could run block, no one would be bitching about Bobo calling a run play. What do you people want? Line up and throw it every down? You’ve got to be able to run the ball consistently to win. We can’t run the ball and we have the personell to be able to do it. Seems like Searels isn’t really the best offensive line coach in the SEC. He’s had 3 years to live up to the hype and hasn’t done it.

It seems as if the staff has become too cozy with the kids….there needs to be respect and separation along with availability when needed. Maybe swimming with the kids in the summer is not what they need, coach…I think when CMR stepped away from the play calling he also stepped away from the emotional involvement he needs to have with the team…he really does look way too removed on the sideline. Last Saturday the look on his face was one of bewilderment and frustration….I think it finally hit him that this team, this staff and now this year are all out of whack…no more illusions – we’re in trouble. Something is wrong somewhere.

It all starts with and ends with CMR.

I have believed for two years that he has over stayed his welcome. A once proud program has been turned into the second coming of FSU. Except he can’t win a NC with his recruits. Regardless, his style of coaching never seems to reflect intensity, passion or urgency. I truely believe he is most interested in missioning inner city youths than coaching a Div 1A program. Until we hire a coach (and staff) that is more interested in building a winner instead of sacrificing the team for friends, we are doomed to become the new whipping child of the SEC.

And it hurts like hell already…

As a Georgia fan for the past 72 years, I sense that most Georgia football players are inferior in athleticism to those at other schools. You can’t teach a running back to fake a defensive man out of position while running in stride. That tallent is inbred. A defensive lineman learns to get around his offensive opponent before he gets to college. An offensive lineman knows how to anticipate his defensive opponent’s moves to get around him . Defensive linemen know how to tackle and running backs learm how to block before they get to college. Most of Georgia’s footballl players have not reduced these basics to instinct. I bellieve Georgia has recruited a bunch of players who are having to be taught the basics and the coaches don’t have the time to do this and prepare them for the real game. CMR is not going to admit this because these are the players he recruited plus it would totally demoralize the entire team. Georgia fans need to resign to accepting this team as not a choice group of athletes and maybe the recruiting team will luck up on a better bunch in years to come. P.S. to the recruiting staff: The better running backs are those over 6′2″ and weigh move than 225 pounds.

One of the announcers from Saturday night made a comment about BoBo referencing his play sheet. The first thing which came to my mind was that he only needs an index card to hold our plays. It has become that sad. Handoff up the middle left side. Handoff up the middle right side. Sprint draw to either side. Everybody run deep! I think that sums up our play choices. We have the most boring offense around. I understand some boring offenses are effective but ours isn’t so it just adds to the humiliation! How many times do we have to run up the middle with no gain for them to realize it isn’t working? BoBo’s play calling is suited for Pop Warner at best! What about pitching the ball to the outside? None the less, we stink! BoBo is to blame for being inadaquate! Richt is to blame for keeping him! Do you all realize, we have only scored 42 points in 12 quarters? Do the math and see what that gaudy average is per quarter! 15 of those 42 have been field goals. This is going tro be a loooooooong year! Richt has no fire! Grantham did, until Richt killed it from what I hear. We are not babysitters! I can’t stand the Strawberry Shortcake approach to coaching. Richt’s new name for me is going to be Barney.

Bo, I don’t care how good, big, and skilled you O-line is. If you are telegraphing your plays (and isn’t it obvious that we are?), and opposing DCs know what’s coming, your 5 interior lineman cannot block a defense with 8 IN THE BOX. It doesn’t work anymore.

Successful offenses now spread the field, men in motion, 4 receivers, and then run the ball. That’s the way to get man-on-man blocking. Bobo/Richt still put the Dawgs in the Power I for running the ball, and we can’t do it anymore.

To a certain extent the coaches have lost this team. All the arrests, the Green thing, the ring sales a few years ago, lack of conditioning, lack of disciplined play, and last but not least the probable locker-room influence of the past AD – all signs of a loss of some measure of discipline and control. The current situation is the result of about three+ years of deterioration.

Things are never as good as they appear nor as bad as they appear. This team could still rally and play out the schedule with a measure of toughness, earn some respect, and lay a foundation for the future. Problem is, there just aren’t enough signals to grasp onto to lead one to believe that will be the case (kind of like hoping the Braves can make the playoffs; you want them to, but they keep kicking away ball games).

Richt has been a very capable and accomplished coach, after all, there are UGA alums all over the NFL and some very distinguished ex-Dawgs that didn’t stick in the NFL. This earns him the benefit of the doubt until all the arrows are pointed and collected. But he’s been losing some key recruting advantages while battling coaching and discipline issues. He’s got to regain control and enforce it through the coaches and team leaders, and somehow get the players focus back on the team and doing their assigned jobs, on and off the field.

Good job Jeff. We need a new Strength and Conditioning Coach. It is obvious that GA is not as physical and in shape as the top SEC teams. Bobo may need to go along with Searels. If that doesn’t help us, then Richt would have to go. He is a great man and I am a huge fan of his, but UGA is consistently on the same level as Miss State, Ole Miss and Kentucky now. Tennessee is ahead of us and have been since 2006. We are a joke in the SEC right now and have been since 2006. Say what you want about 2007. We beat a bad 8-4 FL team and lost to a bad SC team at HOME and a really bad TN team. 2007 was a fluke. No leadership on this team and haven’t had it since D.J. Shockley left. Stafford and Moreno weren’t leaders.

Who on earth are we going to get thats better than Mark Richt. All you people need to calm the F down. Good god, we are playing w/ a FR QB and no one wins w/ a FR QB, especially in the SEC, plus, you all are missing a huge factor here which is there is no AJ Green. Green is only going to be a top 5 pick in the draft and he is a difference maker. Defenses defend differently when they do not have to slide a safety down to help the CB cover Green which means less running room and less space to throw the ball. Green not being out there is huge, absolutely huge and one of the main reasons this offense is struggling. When Green is back this offense is going to look night and day different.

Some comments were “you are playing like retards”, “that was stupid”, “you idiots stop that guy”. Then I thought, we are playing a team ranked No. 9 in the State and taking them to triple overtime. The guys were not quitting and playing as hard as they could. I trying to look at the way the Bulldog team has played. Aaron Murray, Kris Durham, Tavaris King, Jeremy Houston, and many more are playing their guts out. We have not been blown out just look at the scores. The past situation with Damon Evans didn’t help for morale. Maybe you have to hit bottom to build character and then climb to the top. I don’t know, just a thought.

What we see is a complete lack of discipline and fundamentals. That is coaching.

We also have a badly overrated offense, starting with the o-line (who were recently noted for having an 80% block efficiency, which is poor), then the less than average running backs (who also cannot block or hold onto the football), and a WR corp that has little to brag about (except durham). The only bright spot on the offensive side has been Murray, who has shown that he cannot do it all by himself.

Grantham’s D is also lost. We have a system that is designed around a nose tackle, which we don’t have, outside linebackers that are essentially big safeties looking to hit people, which we don’t have, and a strong pass rush from the ends and middle linebackers (which we dont have). Add the non-coverage from the DB’s, and you have a disaster in the making. We also have exactly 0 headhunters on the field looking for the big hit. in fact, i have seen several players avoid contact on several occasions.

regardless of how poor the defense has played – mostly due to poor coaching (see discipline and fundamentals), they have kept the score low enough that we should be 4-0, not 1-3.

Logan Grey is still fair catching everything, showing that field position is not that important, although, some times it is necessary, like the handful of times every game the other team is punting from midfield because our offense cannot penetrate deep into the other teams territory.

In short, it all goes back to coaching. and when you fall off the SEC cliff that UGA has done, the next thing to change should be the coaching. And the BS about the other teams getting better with more great coaches entering the league – Pi$$ on it. this is competition, if you cannot beat the competition, regardless of who you are playing, then you need to find someone who will – Alabama did, Florida Did, Arkansas did, MSU did.

Well here is what I think that the story is all about: How about last year, we bring in one of the freshman and teach them in the game a little bit. Murray or Metz, it wouldn’t have mattered. Then when Ole Joe’s arm was aching and he couldn’t throw it hard or far, someone could have stepped in. How about the line. Maybe another half yard split would help there. That tends to spread the Defense a little, maybe a step, that would help. How about teaching the running backs to cut back. Maybe a reverse play against such an agressive defense. Maybe a drag play underneath, a few more slip screens, something not so predictable.
Now defense. How about if we lost Willie and company in 2008 instead of 2009. How about if we hired Manny Diaz instead of Todd G. Well, I think that Todd G is the right fit, but here again, we run up on a coach Diaz, with a personal stake in stopping UGA. How about our coaches make it personal to themselves and to the players. Who do you blame, the coaches for not coaching, the players for not executing,(inlcuding being so arrogant to comitt these stupid off field blunders) and an AD for these absurd scheduling dates. Stay behind the dogs gang, they are still a better team than last year. The biggest insult of the year was when Arkansas used our play to throw that first TD. That is David Green”s play.

And I stand by the fact that if AJ Green is out there this offense looks light years better. There is no go to guy out there and when the best player on your team is not playing, you know, the guy who is going to be a top 5 pick, than the offense is going to struggle, its as simple as that. Teams do not need to respect the pass and why should they, make a FR QB beat you and most of the time they can’t. Look at N.

Kerryb – Richt went away from the no-huddle before Bobo was given play calling duties. He said that the refs didn’t get a chance to review a play that would’ve (should’ve) gone UGA’s way and he felt that the cost outweighed the benefits. I’ve always disagreed with that assesment. If nothing else, Richt/Bobo can develop a QB. Having a cool and intelligent QB run a no-huddle can really hurt a defense…and also cause the opposing team burn time outs to substitute players.

Lets be realistic here fans and foes. I am a hugh supporter of the dawgs during the good and bad times. And the facts are this. Our first choice at starting QB is not on the team.

When your best receiving option is Kris Durham, an QB a second stringer, i am stacking the line!! There are 7 or 8 in the box all day, and with no running game and a questionable passing game, what are you going to do? We were in the SC game up until the end, and in the Arkansas game until the end and well they just flat quit for Mississippi. (everyones fault for showing no pride!!) But be warned here, with the return of AJ Green and double teams on him the passing game will open up and the running game too.

That does not mean that he is directly to blame (as in, he is the cause) for the troubles. He may be, he may not be. It is difficult to judge that correctly without knowing a lot more information than we, the ignorant, have available to us.

He must take responsibility, though, even if (not saying this is the case) everyone on the team is going completely against all he is trying to do and running the program into the ground.

There is no one, no matter how good, that does not experience some bad times in what they may, overall, do very well. Richt needs to fix things, but this talk of his demise is idiotic.

Lovely timing – I just got my Florida tickets in the mail today from the UGA athletic office. In the Dooley days, even if UF was ranked #1 in the nation, I had faith that we could find a way to win. Now, I have NO faith – and who wants to go watch a game that will be like 45-13 Gators? Even in a down year for UF, they will kill us (as much as I hate to say that…)

Jeff,

On the recruiting svcs I know a lot of people don’t give a hoot about what they say but a study was done on how high school recruits fared and it showed that these svcs were actually surprisingly accurate. A 5 star recruit coming out of high school had a 40% chance of going in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft 4 years later, a 4 star something like 15%. a 3 star was around 5% and a 2 star had a less than 1% chance of going in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft 4 years later. There will be 5 stars who are busts and 2 and 3 stars who excel and make it to the NFL but as a general rule the star rating system given by the 2 major recruiting svcs is fairly accurate.

I will tell you who is to blame. Its the media for over hyping this Geogia squad yet again for another year. The fans for thinking that just because the staff has a new D – cordinator things where going to change on the defensive side. When in fact they have gotten worse. The Ex-AD for being to worried about wearing red lace panties around his neck and getting in the pants of a 20 something. The king of the SCREEN OC Bobo. This whole thing is eerily similar to the way Fat Phil went out in TN. Pay attention dawg nation, this could be happening at your school.

Coach Richt is a good man on that I think we all agree.

However, I think that being brought up, mentored and learning from Bobby Bowden has really effected Coach Richt negatively. His program at UGA is very closely beginning to mirror that of Bowden’s recruitment of a group of low characters and morals they had at Florida State often times. Except, that Bowden and his staff did coach them “up” and win. But no less, the same types of unsavory characters.

Secondly, Coach BoBo has really taken a beating and rightfully so. However, again it is Coach Richt’s responsiblity to insure that the plays called and the offensive game plans are compatible with the athletic capabilities of the players.

And lastly, Coach Richt in his early tenure at UGA did win with the players recruited by Coach Donnan. Least we forget that.

Who’s to blame? Plenty to go around from doaches to players. Take your pick. Like my Moma used to say, “put all in a tow-sack beat’m with stick and you wouldn’t hit the wrong one.”

Hate to say it cause I love the guy.. but gotta be Richt as the head coach. Two major reasons:
1) This one you see in business all the time (Blockbuster Video). Stand stubborn on your past success and the competition will pass you by. In business you have to be aware and cognizant of change within your industry… and willing to adjust … even if it means abandoning many practices you have grown comfortable with.
2) Slow to change even when the need became obvious (CWM).

These two downfalls have bred this lackluster culture in Athens which has been festering and is now a swollen pimple. I think to late to lance it… not sure Richt can get back to where he was… even less sure he will ever truly compete for NC. Sadly, amputation is sometimes the only answer.

This begins and ends with Mark Richt, who has yet to deliver one Georgia quarterback. David Greene and DJ Shockley were already in the fold when Richt was hired. Since then, he has delivered out-of-state starters that have NEVER been winners like Greeney and DJ. Stafford, Cox, & Murray simply do not have the same pride in wearing the Red & Black. It meant more to Greene and Shockley. Their play and leadership displayed pure pride in being on the field.

Mark Richt is responsible for discipline. His players clearly do not have any. Their undisciplined nature off of the field is reflected on the field. I often believe people are too quick to get rid of coaches. However, Georgia football is in a State of Emergency. In my view, falling in Starkville should signal the organization of a Selection Committee. We go out to Colorado and lose, negotiations on his buyout should begin.

He is a nice man. We have compensated he and his family very well. The guy is not earning his check. He is not an effective CEO. Steve Spurrier calls plays. Mark Richt better take a page out of his book. Mike Bobo is a worst coach than he was a quarterback…and he was about as bad as it could get in Athens.

My, My, how the mighty have fallen. How does it feel Dawg Nation to be currently the worst team in the SEC. That’s right even Vandy has a SEC win.

The Dawgs are in last place in the SEC, who would have thunk it. See what happens when you have to play with the players you pick….huh, huh……

Maybe you can get Stafford and Moreno to come back and finish their Senior years….. OHH wait they saw the writing on the wall and got the hell out of dodge.

Face it, the dawgs just don’t get the caliber of players that all the other big boys get in the SEC. That leaves one to wonder is the braun of the players that is not getting the job done. Or could it be the mental aspect of following all those X’s and O’s around the chalkboard that they can’t comprehend.

They Lied To You: I agree with your assessment, in means of wins and losses. What makes Georgia a top tier program is the money that Georgia creates every single season. At some point, you have to say that the team that creates the most revenue is in the upper tier. Programs with much larger stadiums (i.e. Michigan (operating on annual deficits), Penn State (paying their coach peanuts and making no money), and Tennessee) do not make nearly the cash that Georgia makes.

Look, at the end of the day, Georgia has one National Championship in the modern era. From that standpoint, yes we are a second tier program. However, when you talk about overall football program (revenue, jersey sales, etc) you are FOOLING yourself if you are dumb enough to believe that Georgia is not a top tier program.

That would be like someone being stupid enough to deduct that Notre Dame is not a top tier program, when they command the more lucrative television contract (by far) of any single program in college sports. When you play on national television EVERY week, you are a top tier program…even if you only have one major bowl win in 20 years. Wake up!

Am I entirely old fashioned to suggest a curfew for Georgia players, at least during the season? Say, 1 am?

It starts with Richt and has trickled down in all areas of his coaching staff and recruiting….

#1 UGA has lost its edge in recruiting. Most of the state’s IMPACT blue-chippers are going elsewhere to be coached by great coaches. Rodney Garner’s time is up. People forget that players talk and UGA’s reputation is in the toilet among players–especially when you have former players who don’t even acknowledge the school anymore…..T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

#2 Richt has lost the players and lost his edge: He doesn’t even coach with intensity anymore. Something’s going on.

#3: Mike Bobo needs to go—enough said.

#4 Todd Grantham needs to go–when I’m looking at Auburn, UT, FL & AL knocking the teeth out of each other compared with UGA non-tackling softbodies, I get disgusted. What happened to our ‘Junkyard Dawgs’? Players who use to bullrush opponents and put the pop on them? When will teams be afraid to come ‘Tween The Hedges’ again? It’s time to bring back some of our old alumni players who are coaching to bring some pride back (Travis Jones, go after Will M & Kirby S again, George Wynn, Mike Jones, etc….)

#5 UGA needs to get out of this REGIONAL mentality (programs & fans): There’s no way UGA should continue, year after year, to be thought of as a second-tier program, but that’s what’s happening. I bleed red and black but am tired of seeing this program continue to lose the big game or lose to opponents they should beat. It’s time for us to demand EXCELLENCE out of our program and NATIONAL RESPECT.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, so to speak. But CMR just seems to wander up and down the sideline. I don’t see any passion or fire in him. Calm under pressure is usually a good thing, if you are a CEO, but it just doesn’t seem to work in college football. You can be too much of a hot head, but you need to have some fire.

I attended the Alabama Penn State game and even antique JoePa was more into the game than Richt appears to be. I seriously thing he needs to take his 8M and retire and pursue a new profession. I mean, you can invest the 8M and live off it the rest of your life.

Growing up in Jacksonville Florida as a UGA fan I obviously run across more than my share of gator fans, my own brother being one of them. talking to him last night I believe we hit the nail on the head.
The difference between UGA and UF is brought out by USC. Like USC, UGA has run the same offensive plays for the tenure of its coach. Ever since Spurrier left UF he ran the plays but didnt have the same talent at WR to let a RB or QB to succeed, obviously he’s got a good group now and he is reaping the fruits for this reason.
UF and Bama change their scheme based on the talent they have for each particular year and this is the main reason they will rarely have a rebuilding year yet they will just reload ever year with what talent they have.
UGA has missed its best WR yes, but no other WR has threaten a defense enough to have them play at regular dept out of respect. we basically have nothing but possession WR’s after AJ. throw in a redshirt freshman QB that more than likely has defenses even closer to blitz him every down and even blitz to stop the run because that makes it where the QB has to beat the other team, which hasn’t happened.
With this said I would say play with what you have – this isn’t the same team we have had for the last 10 years. The team that comes out this week against Colorado isn’t even the same team that played MSU so why are the same plays being called???????????? in 10 years I’m sure there is a graph of what we call and when. with a Agile QB why isn’t he rolling out hitting the TE? shuffle passes out of the shotgun? WR slant routes? passes to the RB down field??

Please let me know if you think this makes sense. I hope I got this accross right.

Jeff, is your question rhetorical or do you just enjoy stirring up fans on what must be a lazy Monday afternoon? Clearly it’s Richt’s responsibility. Vince Dooley said more than once that he always wanted the upcoming opponent to say “Better buckle up your chin straps, boys, we’re playing Georgia today.” That attitude trickled down. You ask older fans of any opposing school and they’ll tell you what one older Vol fan said to me when Dooley retired as HC: “I hated playing his teams. They’d fight, kick and scratch then put it away on a long drive in the 4th quarter. Thank God he’s gone!” Goff squandered that mental edge, Donnan started to bring it back, and Richt’s teams had that same authoritative feel for the first 5-7 years, but no one fears the Dawgs anymore, and I do not pick up that iron edge from Richt himself. I hope this year’s team is akin to those of ‘77 and ‘79 rather than those of the Goff era, but I’m not optimistic.

A few days ago, Dr. Adams dressed down the UGA football team about their summer of fun. I suspect that they greatly resented that dress down. They look at the huge $$$ revenue that UGA enjoys and they see that as theirs. Sort of like how obama looks at some business exec’s $300,000 income as his and Pelosi’s.

They resent the money stream at UGA and the fact that they are poor and so, this lousy 0-3 SEC record and Ealey’s 3 yd line fumbles are pay back. Half of the team is aligned with that dumb logic and half are not. Hence UGA is not playing up to par and heads, including some player’s heads, need to roll.

Immediately kick AJ and Ealey off of this team and go forward. Any more loafing, then punt that kid too. This cannot be tolerated.
