Why do we have to fight about? (trying to do my best stewie griffin impression)

Look people. Mark Richt took a medium level team that Jim (couldn’t get them over the hump) Donnan left and made them a SEC contender on a regular basis.

He is a great coach and even though he’s made some decisions that weren’t exactly the smartest he’s learned from his mistakes and the Dawgs will be ok. Trust me on this.

Urban Meyer is a great coach also and I admire the way he gets his boys up for the challenges on a consistent basis. I only wish the Bulldogs could be ready for their challenges.

That’s a coaching issue and Mark will get it done. Eventually … sigh …

As for Willly Martinez? He better get his Poo together or eventually Mark will have to bow to the pressure of the Dawg nation and handle his business … friendship or not.

DAWGS UP! JACKETS DOWN! … under a big steaming pile of BullDawg poo … Believe it (O_O)

Until he wins a Championship with the immense level of talent that he has, he is right where he needs to be ranked. No crystal ball, No love. Win a big game for once.

Meyers gets it done, plain and simple. He is not there to be there buddies, he is there to win.

You could have had every referee in your backpocket, and you still would have gotten drilled by UF. This is what I am talking about. UGAY gets drilled by UA and UF with what was suppose to be a top-talented team, and UGAY fans start throwing around excuses.

This is also why UA, UF, Texas, and USC have championship programs….the fan base makes no excuses and keeps pressure on the program at all times.

My god!! UGAY fans really do not have a clue..

Thank you Jim, I respect your opinion. Until the UGAY fan base starts hammering on their program and coaching staff, they are going nowhere…I mean nowhere….

The media confirms what I have been saying all along, CMR does not have the respect of the media because he cannot win the big ones. UGA will always be viewed as an overrated program, and winning 2 SEC titles does not bring much respect to CMR; however, winning a national title (See UF, USC and Texas) brings much more respect to a coach.

I cannot figure out why the UGA fan base has no clue about CMR. FSU let him go for a reason, he does not have what it takes to get you a title. He does not have the intensity, discpiline, drive and coaches to create a championship program at UGAY.

Like I said, CMR will be gone in 5 years or less from today, and it could be 3, unless you learn how to beat UF. GT is not a great program, but P Johnson is a superior coach. Example: he took the leftovers from Gailey and throttled a preseason #1 pick on their home turf. This is the biggest reason CMR gets no respect, nor does the UGAY program.

All the yelling, and blogging in the world cannot remove the fact that UGAY has only won 1 absolute national title in 116 years, which is a piss poor winning percentage. But please, keep paying those booster fees and buying those tickets, which is the reason UGAY can just keep doing what they are doing…

Mark Richt used to coach hard. He doesn’t anymore. I think he will in the future. But he did take it easy last year for sure. He gave the offense to Bobo, the defense away, and he just relaxed. The results were to be expected!

While I bleed Red and Black of the Bulldogs the fact remains that respect is earned. It’s hard to get that respect when Florida, Alabama, and Georgia Tech whipped us as they did last year.

Mickey Mouse could coach winners at Florida. If Spurrier weer still there, he’d have won those championships. Cryer did do well at Utah, but he wins at UF because he has the players, period. Our defensive players were OVER RATED last year as far as talent, not to mention the injuries. Offense put up record numbers so I can’t say they under achieved, other than Staffords blunders.

I wouldn’t have that weasel Saban represent my school if he won 50 in a row. If he’s so smart, why didn’t he do better in the pro’s? Houston Nutt is the most underrated coach in the SEC. He does more with less than anyone. Why AR would let him go for the loser they have is beyond reasoning. People who judge a D1 college coach by his MNC only, wins only for that matter, are idiots.

I hear you K about the killer instinct. I’d love to see us go full-bore for 4 quarters and not let up until the final whistle. But most teams, even great ones sometimes have these problems. Do you remember back in 1976 when we turned one of Bear’s Bama teams every which way but loose and beat them 21-0 in Athens? Yes I know it wasn’t one of the Tide’s best but it was very decent 9-3 team. And then the next week we traveled to Ole Miss and lost 21-17. Dooley’s teams also had occasional problems staying motivated and playing down to the competition. 48-10 smackdowns like the Hawaii game are rare and even then Hawaii should have never been in the Sugar Bowl to begin with because they were tremendously overmatched. I realize that for the last several years we seem to have played down to the competition in a lot of games. But also consider that we have had a number of key injuries and suspensions as well. We’ve also had to move a lot of other players around into other positions. That’s certainly enough reason for players to play tentatively but throw that in with a couple of assistant coaches whose problems are well documented on this blog and I think it goes a long way towards explaining the absence of a consistently high level of play. Assistant coaches are just like players in that you must have the right people in key places to have a chance to be good. In short Willie’s got to get it done this season. And one final thing we should remember is that it always take a certain amount of luck no matter how good you are. Just ask the 2008 Texas team. Heck just think back to the breaks LSU had in winning the NC a few years back. So far in Richt’s tenure, Lady Luck has not often been on our side. Hopefully that will change and I am optimistic. But hey I’m like most Georgia fans in that inconsistency or lack of killer instinct or whatever you want to call it drives me absolutely bonkers.
