This is the most undiscplined and unintelligent team I have ever seen. I was calling for a close game, and would have been if UGA could get out of their own DAMN way. Is Cox truly the best QB we have. Every freaking pass to AJ was high and behind. He will get AJ hurt before the season is over.

I don’t want to hear crap about bogus flags. Every flag was legit. Once again a CMR coached team shows up unprepared. UF never stopped UGA the entire first half, UGA stopped themselves time and time again. Will this season ever end. Hopefully UGA will lose the rest of the games and CMR A$$ will be kicked to the curb along with his best bud, CWM. This team is beyond pathetic. They are so pathetic that I could say CUM and Tebow felt sorry for them.

Hmmmmm, I couldn’t agree more with your post.

Richt needs a total come to Jesus (haha no pun intended for the reverend) at the end of this season. He has lost control. Penalties and discipline come back to coaching—and to be honest I’m worried about Aaron Murray—short QBs can cause disasterous plays as we saw today with Cox. But the personal fouls are just stupid—and the defensive ends need to learn to keep their outside arm free, they get hooked on every play to the outside. Thats 6th grade peewee football material. Come on coaches ! Time to clean house, Richt !

I also 100% disagree with the Logan Gray comment. Spikes eased over 20 yards and made a hell of play. Most importanly though the line quit blocking as the game was over, UF had their ears pinned back as there was no danger of losing. We cannot evaluate Gray until he starts or plays in a legit setting for an extended period. In what we saw in the spring all of us fans thought he was 1 or 2 and interchangeable with Murray. Cox looked 3rd or 4th and that isn’t questioned by the fans coming out of the spring game.

Next week has to start QB tryouts for next year. Murray, Gray and Mettenberg must be the only QB’s that set foot on the field for the remainder of the year unless all 4 get knocked out with injuries.

If you do not believe me, look it up. I loved the black helmets. I for one did not think the helmets and the pants would win the game. If you did, jump off the wagon and pull for someone else. You are too stupid to be a Dawg fan.

If you don’t think good coaching makes a difference, look at Urban Meyer and Nick Saban. They turned these programs instantly by establishing discipline, excellent defenses and special teams. When your backup quarterback is your kick returner, you have got to be kidding. These well coached teams don’t committ 4 turnovers every game. Did anyone see that Georgia ranks 119th out of 120 teams in turnovers. I wonder who is the other team that is worse than Georgia? The dawgs are pathetic and it kills me to watch them play. It is hard to swallow 17 out of 20 losses to Florida. Somebody get me a drink of liquor.

How can you say Bobo called a decent game? Predictable offense as always. The toss sweep fools no one. They pass on 3rd and 1, run on 3rd and 17, and unless I missed it, didn’t see a single screen pass. Just when Ealey get’s going they take him out and put Samuel in. AJ plays two plays and then they pull him out on a crucial 3rd down. This team is just woeful. I have no doubt in my mind that UGA has as good or better players as anyone in the country.I just don’t understand how the coaches can have a team so undisciplined and under-prepared week after week. Well yeah, I guess I can. This team is soft, undisciplined, and constantly out of position. It’s ironic how you see a highly religious player with so much fire and passion — killer instinct if you will — abuse and demoralize a man of similar stature. And there folks, is your difference. CMR has grown too comfortable in A-town with his big salary and safe posse of friends who aren’t fit to coach a high school team. It’s put up or shut-up time Mark. If major changes aren’t made, you’re gonna lose your job as well. And don’t even get me started on the defense…

Buckhead, we really do not have the players we had back in those games. Remember we put redshirts on all our Dbacks in 2008. They do not have the game experience. Also, as much as I drank the kool-aid about Joe being the leader that would lead the Dawgs to a division championship, game experience means it all. Which does not look good for next year. I have no clue on the lines. I thought the D line and the O line would be strong. Wrong. Wrong as can be. The only positive I can say is that we gave the Gators two touchdowns when seven teams together could only give them four. Not a moral victory. Just a point of pride in an other wise dismal day.

How much longer can this go on? I am a GA man going back to the 70’s and losing to Florida as much as we have the last 15 years is totally unacceptable. In my opinion, it starts at the top-Damon Evans should be looked at as well as Richt. I like CMR as a person, but there is no reason that we look this bad with the facilities, the geographic location that we have, the tradition, the money, etc.. It is obvious that our coaches are over-matched. If this is not the case then what excuses do we have now as they recruited the players. All I can say is what would we have been last year without Moreno and Stafford? The penalties, the lack of effort, the play calling on both sides of the ball and the gimmicks have me in a position of being disgusted with the whole mess. I am tired of sending my money to the UGA Football program to get this kind of slop. I don’t mind getting beat by a better team with better athletes, but it is coaching through and through as Florida does not have better athletes than we do just better coaches. Willie needs to do the program a favor and fall on the sword for the good of the program(now).

Wearing black helmets isn’t going to make up for lack of strong, aggressive coaching. I’m beyond tired of watching conservative play calling when it’s more than clear our team needs a spark, they need risks, and they need leaders. Joe Cox isn’t the best quarter back in the nation, we all know that, but as Logan Grey showed in the 4th quarter, he’s the best we have. He also has shown moments of inspiring potential. There’s only so much blame that can be put on Joe Cox when we’re running the same play for the 3rd time in a row on 3rd and long. We would’ve been better off punting the ball on 3rd down and not wasting a play. AJ Green only gets 3 receptions tonight? Everyone knows our key to winning is to get the ball to AJ Green as much as possible- except Mike Bobo. Mike Bobo is too conservative for this conference, and if Richt can’t see that and demote him and take back over play calling, then Richt needs to go too. Hopefully, Richt will continue to show the rare emotion he showed tonight and make the changes this team desperately needs.

What pains me most with this current group of players and coaches is no respect for tradition. Once a proud and powerful force in the SEC, they looked today as silly as the Atlanta Falcons during the Glanville era. Why in the heck do these coaches think that attire is going help win football games? Alot of these current players are nothing more than young punks with no respect for themselves, much less for the team. How many personel foul penalties that derail any chance to be competitive will this coaching staff put up with? There is a difference between playing with emotion and playing as a bunch of undesciplined thugs. Maybe it’s time to recruit men of integrity instead of children that have a chip on their shoulders. Players need to understand if you want something, you have to dedicate yourself and work hard to earn it. Don’t tell me those players don’t exist, just look at the the teams you consistently lose to. The media likes to write about the so called highly ranked classes that Georgia coaches put together year after year. Looks like a fraud to me, especially if you watch the actions of these kids on the field. I get so tired of seeing the coaches arguing with the refs over the calls they make. Maybe you guys should get off your cans and coach them up and if that don’t work, you need to think about the type of people you are recruiting! Work ethic and integrity will bring back the tradition that the fans once remembered about being the UNIVERSITY of Georgia.

A. They were distracted by “fat girlfriends” (Mike Leach is a trip)
B. Vern Lunquist’s jowls were encroaching the field
C. Urban Meyer’s daughter is smoking hot.
D. Georgia’s coaches are terrible.

I think that is a shame as I watch the SC and Tenn game and see how two teams are fighting to win on both sides of the ball, unlike UGA. They looked pathetic, I quit the game when fla scored thier 3nd td. Came back at the start of the second half just in time to see the blocked pass for int, that was it. Forget Cox and the season, put Logan in for the rest of the year. I don’t need to say what needs to happen to the whole coaching staff!!!

The only thing I have to be thankful for today is that for once St. Simons didn’t show up to say anything on this blog.

There is nothing about the Dawgs to be thankful for except our place kicker and punter. The realization is that we just don’t have talented players and certainly don’t have anyone to coach them.

Can we apply to become a member of Division II? We might win a few games there! We’re never going to be a winner in Division I with what we have.

Willie needs to be fired. Bobo needs to demoted or fired. Joe Cox doesn’t need to throw another pass all year. I don’t give a damn if Logan Gray throws three picks every game. Just get these guys ready for next year! Joe Cox is not the answer. Richt’s loyalty is killing this team. Every fan knows what the problems are.

Wore my “Superman T” (Tebow) shirt to the game today to show my support of Tim, who I felt got called out by the media and even some select few Gator “fans” this week. On my way to the stadium, a group of Georgia tailgaters took note of my shirt and starting their trash talk that I must say was pretty vulgar in regards to Tim. Some of the same stuff you read on here…pretty ugly stuff for a young man who tries to do the right thing and is so respectful of others. On my way out of the stadium, I made a point to walk back by just so I could just point to my shirt, no words needed, but alas…they were gone…Dawg gone. So typical…

I’m stunned. Was ‘02-’05 just an illusion? This is one of the worst coach Georgia teams I’ve ever seen. Stupid penalties, careless turnovers, poor blocking, poor tackling, mediocre pass rush and run defense, almost nonexistent defensive back play…basically the perfect storm of a bad football team. And it’s not like this game was an anomaly – it looked just like the Tennessee game and last year’s Florida and Alabama games, and the ‘07 Tennessee game and the ‘06 Kentucky and Vandy games and the Sugar Bowl against West Virginia. Georgia’s a bully that beats most of the less talented teams, but folds like a cheap suit when it plays a team of similar talent and better coaching, which is just about all of them these days.

Disgraceful.

Dear Mr. Evans,

It has come to the attention of the UGA fans that the current UGA football team really sucks. We have been understanding. We have been told at the end of last season after the Michgan State game that the defense would be better this season. We were told that more discipline would be coming and the number of flags thrown against the team would be reduced. Mr Evans, the program has not executed on either of these this year. We are now the laughing stock of the SEC and ACC. GT stands to win more SEC games than GA.

Mr Evans this was once a proud, tradition rich program. Now its a program for clowns. You have some tough personnel decisions to make. Make them quickly and lets get on with rebuilding this program before it is too late.

Is Richt a fashion designer now? Spend more time coaching the players with fundamentals. How about take them out of the game if they are called for a penalty. Let them sit on the bench for several plays. Cant get any worse. The talent is there, the coaching is letting Dawg Nation and the team down. How do you play off the receiver 15 yds and he still beats you by 10 yards down the field. They dont understand (coaching) what their assignments are????? Put in a freshmen or a walk on or anyone that can pick up on the play calling or get rid of the coach.

You made a mockery of players like Reggie Ball and laughed at UFs multitude of disciplinary problems. Now the tables have turned. You weenie dawgs have what you deem a subpar quarterback and yall now have the team full of thugs. Doesn’t feel so good now does it? Well I sit back and laugh because instead of worrying about Gailey and his boys and Zook and his boys, you should have been taking a long hard look at your team and realizing that Richt’s style of coaching was never going to lead you weenies to dominance in the SEC. And you definitely should not be even dreaming of a National Championship.

You fans and your players have your priorities mixed up. Proof: When the weenies were winning , Richt and the thugs were your heroes. The Black jerseys were a great idea then. There wasn’t much complaining about Richt’s coaching style and the gimmicks when you thought those things were working. And Finally, to your lovely little weenie boys. When former UGA weenie dawg players were asked recently what their most memorable moment was, an overwhelming number of them stated “Celebrating in the endzone against Florida in 2007.” Now what’s wrong with that picture? Well let me spell it out for those of you who can’t figure it out. Instead of being proud about winning an SEC Championship or just being proud of beating Florida in 2007, winning just didn’t matter to them. What mattered most to them and the thing that they want all of you weenie fans, family, and friends to remember is that they showed up the UF players with the childish 3rd grade field day endzone celebration. Wow what great character the weenies have!! They really represent UGA and the Weenie Nation well. You must be so proud of them and most of all you must be proud of yourselves. Congrats!!!!!!!! And if for any moment anyone wants to question what I am saying, look back over any past posts to any of these blogs and any responses that will follow my post, and you weenies will simply prove to be your own worst enemies much like your little weenie dawgs did Saturday against the Gators.

Being at the game and seeing the way our teams acts on the field is an embarrassment. Ealey and King and others constantly dancing to every light thug rap song tells you the kind of players we are moding…Ritch can not keep discipline in check. Even when we brought it to 14-10, he had to do stupid celebration dance on the sidelines…it just fired up the florida players even more and they put another quick 10 points on us after that. Ritch has lost my confidence as a coach and leader. The UGA team is totally out of control and in its worst downward spiral in years. I don’t think I have heard so many analyst on ESPN and talk shows disrespect the Georgia program like this. Even in the Golf and Donan years, we were not known as undisciplined thugs as we are now. BTW, Logan Gray screwed the team by not catching the fair catch on the 10 yard line as well. Why put a player back there to catch the ball who does not want to catch it? Another huge error…he could have caught it on the 10, instead it rolled to the 2 1/2. In addition, he is not the quarterback of the future and should transfer somewhere where he can play instead of pulling Joe Cox where coach felt obligated to give him the starting position because he waited around 4 years. You can’t recruit these guys who are 6 foot tall or smaller and expect them to be able to pass in this league. Cox’s passes have been batted down all season long.

Simply put it is time for Martinez to go and for Coach Richt to evaluate the team as a whole.

UGA’s administration (Adams, Evans, Richt) need to decide whether they want to invest in a proven coaching staff. When Richt arrived, he had the luxury of putting together the staff that he wanted. I don’t think any of us can complain about those initial coaching decisions. The problems seemed to arrive when Richt had to make replacements.

When he replaced himself as O.C., did he look for a proven commodity? No – let’s give Bobo a shot. He played QB here and he’s a good kid. Let’s see if he can get it done. The result: an offense that relies solely on playmaking ability due to a predictable and uninspired scheme. The competition: when having to replace his O.C., Nick Saban brings in an innovative and experienced coach from Fresno State who transforms a second rate QB (JPW) into a division champ and national championship contender.

When he replaced Van Gorder as D.C., did he hire an experienced, proven coordinator. No – let’s give Willie a chance. I’ve known him since high school. We get along real well and he’s done a nice job with the secondary. The result: a meandering, clueless effort on defense that leads to top-notch athletes performing at the bottom of their conference. The competition: after a one-year poor effort by the internally promoted crew who replaced Bo Pelini, Les Miles hires John Chavis to lead LSU’s defense.

“Promote from within” is a mentality at some institutions (athletic and otherwise). In a large organization with multiple tiers, that can work out fine as people have an opportunity to feel their way along and learn from others. But it doesn’t work so well on a small coaching staff. Rather than hiring and paying people to do what they’re good at, UGA seems in the rut of hiring people and hoping they become good at it. And that includes silly promotions to justify pay increases like Jancek to Co-DC and Searles to “running game coordinator”.

I have a couple questions about Richt and this administration:
- Will UGA spend the money necessary to hire proven coordinators and coaches?
- Is Richt capable of effectively hiring and inspiring a seasoned assistant coaching staff? Or is he a coordinator in the head coach’s office?

Let’s get this out of the way. The better team won the game.

It’s the matter the way UGA played (or rather failed to compete) with FLA for 4 quarters that is not acceptable. A loss should never be acceptable, but some are to be expected when facing a superior team like FLA poised for a National Championship run.

UGA has much bigger issues than Joe Cox, penalties, discipline, etc. Its the program, starting with CMR. It’s the schemes, the recruiting, the type of players, etc.

If the rest of the year goes the way I think it will…UGA will not be going to a bowl game (which is fine, we don’t deserve it)…but CMR and most of his staff need to be FIRED.

If they are not, we are willing to accept MEDIOCRITY in an SEC where others are getting better while UGA is constantly regressing. We went 10-3 last year with 2 NUMBER 1 draft picks on offense (I guess we really understand how much better Stafford and Moreno are than the garbage that took their place).

UGA = Flawed Program (and it pains me to watch as a UGA fan, but I won’t stick my head in the sand like others who refuse to recognize the signs of decay that are eating away at the Dawgs Football Program.

On offense, UGA should be starting Aaron Murray out of the SHOTGUN, with 3-4 wide and a SINGLE tailback on EVERY play. Spread the FRAKING field. We have the skill position guys (granted most are young, but we have nothing to lose, so play the KIDS now). Line up AJ, Tavares, Rontavious and Marlon Brown out, but Ealey back there (as a single back) and just go for it. Develop the offensive talent you have. Why is CMR insistant on running a PRO style offense when the Personnel ISN’T Here? That’s what I don’t get (from x-o’s) point of view with Richt. Look at Meyer (as much as I dislike him), the guy is willing to change the offense based on the PLAYERS available to him. Not Richt…he’ll run the same unimaginative Sh*t every game. It only works when you have the PLAYERS. Unreal.

(aside from that, those who don’t want to spread the field and play 3-4 wide with a single tailback) then WHY recruit players that DON’T fit into the Pro style offense?

Where is our 230lb tailback (our version of Charles Scott, or Dwyer), where is the 6-4QB (like a Ryan Mallet) that are BUILT to run a pro style offense?

Instead we have a sub 200lb RB and a QB who can barely see over the line and looks overmatched and lacks the ARM strength to play in a pro style set.

Why isn’t anyone talking about this? (any CMR backers care to debate me?)

I blame Dooley for our Florida problems with some other beat downs we have taken since 1990. He had the chance to go out and hire a top tier coach in 1990 and decided to hire Gump instead. It is hard to over come the seven years and the level of which he sunk the program too. A great hire back in 1990 and the numbers might be a little different. I have tried to find every reason to back our current defensive coaching staff. I can no longer find any good ones. First rule of business: Never hire your friends because one day you may have to fire them. That day has come. I also think Rodney Garner has become very complacent in his position too.

The problem lies within the coaching UGA fans. Your coach has lost his control of this team. He lost the control last year. When you have players getting arrested every week for public drunk, fighting & DUI’s YOU have a problem. I know Dooley is just about ready to have a stroke over all the bad publicity this team has gotten, but you put the blame where it needs to be. You have to have discipline people! The coaching staff can have the best in the nation, but if there is no control or discipline, you have what your team has. So all you UGA fans who want the head of your coaching staff on a stick, send all your e-mails to Dooley; make him do something about what is happening in your own back yard. If you pay coaches millions of dollars & they hand you this type of team every year, you have a problem. Just look at the other coaches within the SEC & the ACC; look at who has discipline with their teams & you will winning teams because of the strict discipline & absolute control the coaching staff have over their teams.

Also, the thug comments that are being made about the current players are a little uninformed. At least most of these guys are getting a degree. UGA and other schools had the same if not worst problems back in the days of Dooley,Jordan and Bryant. Back then the police worked with the atheletic departments and there was not the internet to broadcast all of the problems. Coach Dooley was a career 8-3 coach with one special player and a GREAT DC. I guess everyone also forgets before the 1980 national championship game he considered leaving for Auburn.

I knew it was not a good sign when the media incorrectly posted the overall series record 46 wins 38 losses and 2 ties in favor of the gators.

What happen to laying it all out ,or nothing to loose. We showed no life, this team has quit. Can we please open the playbook up. Play Marlon Brown, run some trick plays or something. Our offense is boring and predictable. Our defense should be lock up for inpersonating a defense.

Yes, there are problems with the dawgs,but they were playing the number 1 team in the nation.
Have we forgotten that?

Does anyone know how much longer Richt’s current contract runs, and if he was fired, how much would the buy-out cost UGA?

Richt was more focused on checking to ensure his players had valid drivers licenses and what uniform to wear than preparing his team to play FLORIDA!

If the people writting the checks are comfortable with 6-6 and no bowl this season…and the same or WORST in 2010….then by all means CMR and his staff should be allowed to continue to STAY at UGA.

There is nothing that UGA has shown in 2009 that will give you ANY hope for a turnaround by 2010 with THIS current group of coaches.

Then again…some of you are so afraid of change that you are willing to accept MEDIOCRITY.

There are bright, hungry and smart coaches out there…look at what TCU, Boise St, or Cincy has accomplished as of late.

But no. we’d rather have saint Mark and “co” at UGA.

That’s what’s really scary about this. We’re kind of like the lobster that was dropped into a pot of cold water, then the teperature went up gradually until the lobster realized too late that it was being boiled alive.

I think most of the fans are beginning to get it, but the danger is that too many people are forgetting the past glories and settling for this state of mediocrity where we celebrate wins over teams like Vanderbilt and just gloss over the losses. That’s really sad.

Time for a change and there are better coaches out there. Coach Richt is responsible for the football program at UGA and his inability to make the necessary changes may well cost him his job. But, don’t bet on it. For whatever reason the powers at be, currently and previously, have not insisted that UGA football win at the highest levels If Zook had been at UGA with the same record he had at UF, he’d still be here. The top dawgs want a competitve program but won’t do what’s necessary to be on the same page with Texas, Bama, UF and other elite programs.

So we thought the Tennessee game was bad…this was worse…

In my 30+ years of following UGA football, yesterday was one the most embarrassing losses ever….except for the Evil Genius’ pounding in Athens….

A lot of the support and confidence that Dawg fans had for CMR eroded greatly yesterday…..first the black pants, then the black helmets…and that stupid celebration…WHEN YOU ARE LOSING!!!

CMR needs to take a serious look at the program because if you look like it, smell like it and act like it…then you must be it….

I never thought I’d see the day that Florida acted with more class the Georgia…

Absolutely embarrassing…

I don’t believe the players are to blame. Many teams with less talent do better. We certainly have plenty of talent. And what did we achieve last year when we had Stafford and Moreno?

And to be fair to the players, we did hang with FL, the #1 team in the nation, for 3 quarters.

If we look at our weaknesses, they pretty much all go back to coaching:

1. Poor tackling = coaching
2. Penalties = coaching
3. Poor decision making by the QB = coaching
4. Having less than a full squad during a field kick= coaching
5. Putting Logan Gray in at your own end zone against a great defense = coaching
6. Giving up 2 touchdowns in the first 2 possessions of the game, after having a week off to prepare for the game = coaching
7. Not having your team psyched up for big games= coaching.

There is a basic lack of discipline, and I certainly think that both Bobo and WM are in over their heads.

But I also think that Richt has not show the motivational abilities that a great coach should have.

He will likely, and should, get another year to turn around this program. Hick-ups/transitions happen.

I believe the “excessive celebration” call at the end of the LSU game was a pivotal point in our season. Great coaches should be able to refocus teams after such losses. Mark Richt has been unable to do that.

Gatorboy – you’re right that it’s stupid to argue. Both sides have their points but why are people comparing a QB to a RB anyway? Herschel was the best college RB in history and Tebow may be the best multi-dimensional college QB in history (I’m not debating it – I just don’t care enough to compare him to others in history like Eric Crouch and Tommie Frazier).

The bottom line is that Tebow has the record – and he’ll likely have more TDs than Herschel including the bowl games by the end of the season. How many games/carries is irrelevant.

All you keep hearing from the so called “experts” on UGA recruting classes is every year Dogs are top 10….really?..aside from AJ Green what player on this team looks like an all conference type player much less NFL? If you have to resort to stupid gimmicks to help motivate the top ranked team in the country and oh yeah a team that has beat you senseless for more than a decade you are in a lot of trouble. UGA needs leadership which they do not have on the field or on the coaching staff

Eric C. – agreed that it’s not all on the coaches. But good/great teams win with a combination of talent and scheme. Unfortunately, UGA seems to have to rely solely on talent these days. Surely you don’t believe that GT has better offensive talent than UGA? Surely you wouldn’t argue that 10 other teams in the SEC have better defensive talent than UGA?

Because UGA hasn’t evolved in its coaching strategies, their schemes have become tired and predictable. Opposing coaches have no problem game-planning for UGA to take advantage of that predictability. And the schemes applied by those coaches seem to completely confuse both UGA’s players and coaches (see UT this year, Bama and even UK last year).

Look…even Saint Urban thinks Georgia has talent on D…he was quoted as saying so before the game…so where do the problems start?

This reason for this season is this…the offense lost confidence in the QB…the defense lost confidence in the offence…and the team began to fall apart…and the coaches have not been effective enough to stop this…they have lost this team….

It is very evident that Tennessee is a better coached team…funny to say that now…and, as stated earlier, Florida showed more class…still can’t get over that…

We are not disciplined…we are not smart…we look bad….and are doing bad things….and a quickly becoming a bad team….

We have D-1 talent…they are not getting D-1 instruction or coaching at this time….

Why has so little been said about the truly egregious eye gouging
of Ealey by Spikes? I would throw him off the. Surely the commissioner will do something? This is blatantly unacceptable conduct.

If the commissioner does not suspend this guy for the rest of the season, it is simply further evidence of the scheme to insure Florida gets to the national championship game. What a joke unless immediate action is taken.

On Monday morning I will announce my resignation as Head Coach at UGA. I have accepted a full-time position with Carpets of Dalton to make TV commercials. They have hired my wife too as we make such a cute couple sitting on a couch pitching furniture. That is the reason I have a year-round tan and wear sunglasses at all games, even night games. Plus I hate the way those headphones I wear mess up my hair. I keep having to fluff it up during the game to keep it looking good. So long to all you UGA suckers…errr I mean supporters, who have paid me millions of dollars for pretty much nothing. When you visit Carpets of Dalton tell them CMR sent you. I get a cut from all the furniture you buy!!! Its great to be me!

This UGA team is young with a lot of injuries. In 2010, with Tebow gone, the Dawgs will beat florida and tennessee and win the east—mark it down! Florida will be fighting for 3rd place in the division next year with brantley, who’s overrated. The dawg D will eat him alive next year and bring home the SEC east trophy—take it to the bank baby!!! Dawgs 30 Fl 17.

As a Bama fan, it never gives me pleasure to see the Gators win, but, as a SEC fan, I felt sorry for The Dawgs. As bad as some want to paint Cox, the culprits, to me, are the staff. The Georgia players are so undisciplined it pains the casual observer. The defensive scheme was nowhere near where it should have been and the poor play cannot be blamed on (lack of) talent. Underachieving is a product of coaching and some changes have to be made or UGA will continue to flounder….

Richts bag of tricks was apparently empty after the first blackout. It is over.

If they do can him…don’t we have to pay him through 2012 or something?

Surely a new coach could come in and install a simplistic offense (like our current 8 unsuccessful plays aren’t!) for a few games. A “do whatever you want” approach on D would be better than Martinez’s BS.

ALL of the coaches need to be replaced. Can you fire a volunteer coach? If not they should be arrested for loitering.

Even if they finish out the season the AD needs to be at the Falcons game tonight with contract in hand and giving Gruden a tour of his new facilities tomorrow.

It is so simple to fix the root cause of UGA’s demise….a complete lack of discipline and too many players who long for individual promotion versus the team winning a game. Bench Rashad Jones for the rest of the year and you will immediately improve the team. He is the most undisciplined player in the history of UGA football. Tell the players they better not celebrate one tackle, one catch, one TD, one deflected pass, one decent play of any kind until the game is OVER! If they violate this rule, they are benched for the game. Just play all out every play and get ready for the next play. When you score, hand the ball to the ref and return to the sideline…act like you have done it before and quit the showboating! Play with EMOTION on the INSIDE! It was pathetic to watch UGA’s players on the sideline dancing and calling out the Gators while they were LOSING! Meyer and Saban and DOOLEY would never allow such behavior. They DEMAND and receive discipline from every player. CMR and his staff have lost the fear factor of their players and that is not a good thing. There must be some accountability demanded of the players…for reference on what happens without accountability, see the Ray Goff era.

Here is a follow up on my earlier comments–What Would MR Have Done?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Florida coach Urban Meyer has suspended Brandon Spikes for the first half of Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt after the star linebacker attempted to gouge the eyes of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey in a 41-17 victory.

Meyer says Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier in the game.

Spikes is fourth on the team with 42 tackles and has three sacks.

He decided to return for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft. The team’s defensive captain has missed most of two games this season with an injured groin. He played only a series against Arkansas and sat out the entire game at Mississippi State on Oct. 24.
