Dogs’ bowl showing pretty much sums up the season: Lousy

Aaron Murray saved his worst game of the season for the Liberty Bowl. (Associated Press)

A mediocre season came to a pathetic end for the Georgia Bulldogs Friday as a talent-loaded SEC offense that had prided itself on regularly scoring 30 or more points a game failed to even score a single touchdown against Central Florida of Conference USA.

Unlike most of the rest of the year, Aaron Murray, wearing gloves in a game for the first time this season, looked every bit the freshman in the Liberty Bowl, throwing two interceptions and nearly throwing two or three more picks.

An offensive line that had underperformed most of the season turned in one of its worst outings, especially in the second half.

And playcaller Mike Bobo made no sustained attempt to establish a running game, allowing the Knights to blanket the Dogs’ receivers for much of the day when they weren’t blitzing Murray as he searched in vain for an open man.

Of course, maybe Bobo was taking a cue from his boss, Mark Richt, who in the first quarter apparently had such little faith in his ground attack that on fourth and inches at the 2 yard line he elected to kick a field goal rather than go for the first down and potentially the touchdown.

That capped off the Dogs’ best drive of the day, which featured a pretty nice mix of run and pass. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the day Georgia rested its hopes mainly on the passing of Murray, who never looked comfortable. The Dogs did manage a decent drive to open the second half but it bogged down, resulting in another field goal.

And that was pretty much it offensively for the Bulldogs.

Most of the pre-game talk had centered on the two teams’ freshman phenom quarterbacks, but thanks to rusty-looking offenses and a pair of turnovers each, the game settled into a defensive struggle.

The Knights, however, persevered with their efforts to establish a running game and eventually were able to wear down a Georgia defense that occasionally was guilty of poor tackling (how many times did Bacarri Rambo dive into the dirt at opposing players’ feet?).

Overall, though, Todd Grantham’s defense played well enough to win.

It was the offense that stunk the place up. Yes, UCF has a pretty good defense, coming into the game ranked No. 18 in the country, but Georgia’s uninspired play made them look even more formidable.

The day was summed up pretty well by the drive the Dogs began with a little over 7 minutes left in the game. A good run by Washaun Ealey was negated by an completely unnecessary chop block on the other side of the field, and then on first and 25 Ealey was stuffed. Next play, the woeful line play allowed Murray to be sacked. And then on third and 32, Murray threw the ball out of bounds trying to hit A.J. Green, who probably was playing his last game as a Bulldog.

On that depressing note, I’ll open it up for discussion of the Dogs’ dismal showing in Memphis. I’ll be back Sunday with more thoughts on the game and where the Georgia program goes from here. Until then, I hope everyone has a safe New Year’s celebration.

Oh, one more thing: Aaron, lose the gloves.

Not going for it on 4th & inches completely sums up Richt’s fall from the upper echelon of coaches. Name me any other successful coach in the SEC that doesn’t go for that 4th down. He has lost all touch.

WOW. I’m at a loss for words. I’ve always been a CMR supporter but I really think a change is necessary. This team was flatter than a beer that has sat open all night. A month to prepare and this is what they have?

I don’t think we should wait another year for a change. With returning players and what we have coming in at this point I think an 8 win season would be a miracle. 8 wins will not save CMR so why delay. Get a new coach, the right coach, and maybe we can get back on track by 2014.

Typical Aaron Murray game against a team with a winning record.

2 interceptions, and a fumble.

6 wins

7 losses.

Where is Lemay and Mason?

How many turnovers must Murray commit before Richt lets Mason have a chance?

Murray couldn’t beat a single team with a winning record.

worst job of preparation I have seen by a UGA tean in any sport in 40+ years. Game was lost when we failed to go for it on 4th down early in the game. If we have much the same staff next year I am not looking forward it. More of the same stinks. Does Richt visit recruits and say “come to UGA we kick field goals”

I am a die-hard UGA fan and can honestly say this team and coaching staff is the biggest joke I have ever seen. They play with no heart or smarts AT ALL…EVER..and they are in the worst position of ANY SEC team going forward. Teams make needed CHANGES (just like Tenn, UF) and until UGA realizes this– they will continue to be a joke. CHANGES! ADJUSTMENTS! Do UGA coaches know what this means?? If I am a recruit born and raised in Georgia, NO WAY IN HELL do I even consider going to this lousy program. Recently, it’s a place to go if you want your abilities to go down the drain and hopefully you can still get drafted and have actual coaches coach you up. This isn’t all about the coaches either, the players have less heart than any other team I have watched this bowl season. I am always one to support but this has almost become comical. Richt just sits there like he could care less — I could care less what his overall record is, he is a joke and they will continue to be terrible until CHANGES are made. Thank god it’s the off-season!

The only time Georgia did anything was when Ealey was in the game, so Bobo rotates Ealey out, and Murray gets a sack. Thomas didn’t help the team.

Bobo does not have it within him to get a 100 yard rusher and he needs to be fired for staying with Murray over Hutson Mason in this game.

Murray threw 5 perfect passes ot the wrong team.

Some random thoughts as I sit soaking wet in my Memphis hotel room:

I’m going to end up driving 800 miles round trip to see UGA kick two field goals?

I knew when we kicked the first field goal instead of going for a touchdown on 4th and inches that we would lose the game.

I like how A.J. mailed it in. He didn’t even try to catch a pass thrown more than 6 inches away from his body. Good riddance.

I don’t know what Murray’s problem was, be he looked terrible all day.

We run the ball on 1st and 25? Really?! That alone should get BoBo fired.

Why do we need another year of the CMR regime, when the handwriting has been on the wall for some time?

I’m completely and utterly embarrassed by our performance. McGarity, suck it up and make a major move.

I don’t care how many recruits we lose, Richt needs to go, period. It is time, and has been for a while. We may suffer in the short term with attrition and recruits jumping ship, but we get the right guy, and it could build us back up to a power in the long run. The offensive line is without a doubt PATHETIC. Josh Davis (#78) is the worst of the bunch. The whole team looks physically weak, and mentally they seem out of it. Do they ever lift weights during the season? The GA fans deserve better than this. Richt: please resign NOW!

DawgVoiceofReason

That was one sorry performance by the offense. Murray played poorly and his teammates didn’t help matters. Even AJ Green dropped an easy pass at the end of the game. I agree, the chop block by Sturdivant was horrendous. The play was completely on the other side of the field.

As to the decision to kick the field goal in the first half, it was a standard approach for most conservative coaches. You take the points when you have the opportunity. Especially after a lengthy drive. On the other hand, it pretty much sums things up that we don’t have enough confidence in our offense to pound the ball for a first down. We showed no imagination in the game from our offense. The game was boring.

One comment on the season: we got screwed by the NCAA on the AJ Green penalty. Given the outcomes of other NCAA violations, there is no way, AJ should have been suspended for four games. Two would have been appropriate or three at most. I hope he takes the opportunity to redeem himself with UGA fans by coming back for one more year. He is one of the all time greats and we will miss him.

Thank goodness this dreadful season is now finally over. Things WILL be better next year; they have to be. If not, well, the answer is clear (and will go unsaid here).

4th and inches at the 2. No confidence and no belief in your offense. I know this was just another of a slew of unimportant bowl games, but I think by losing this game, Richt really dug another level of the hole he is already in. Georgia is a program with tons of talent, but is undisciplined and plays uninspired football. Richt has one year, starting Jan. 1, 2011 to turn this thing around. Otherwise, the media will be talking about Georgia’s change at the helm and who they will hire. Fair or not, it is the way it is.

Embarrassing. Richt reveals once again why he’ll get one more year. Unprepared, unmotivated, lack of creativity or adjustments. O-line was butter, UCF was hot knife. Why is Rambo in the lineup? His effort is indicative of this team. We’ll go 7-5 next year, and Richt will be out.

When our top receiver gets hit out of bounds right in front of our coach (no flag), and all Richt does is put his arm around the ref to talk nicely to him- you know he’s lost the fire. Richt is a good coach and recruiter, but we need to “outsource” the passion. Ideas?

Our defense is continually out of position (see Rambo), make stupid mistakes, and and has complete inability to tackle. Our offense is predictable, opposing defenses know whats coming before we do. No trick plays, rushing the punter, nothing. And I don’t want to hear the “golly gee we are gonna work hard and get better speech” it has run its course. We need a change.

Richt should be fined $500,000 for gross incompetency for calling for the field goal on the first drive rather than going for the first down on fourth & inches at the 2 yard line. That one call set the tone of “playing not lose” rather than playing to win. On second thought, make the fine half his annual salary.

On the other hand, I think Green and all the others need to man up and announce that they have let the school down accepted scholarship money that they did not earn and are all coming back for another year to get it right. As sorry as I am to say it, if I am McGarity, I face reality and fire Richt. This is not just a college football failure. This is deterioration at a high level.

I have stuck by CMR all year, and I would be happy if things could have worked out to keep him here for a long, long time. However, the situation with the program has devolved to Goff level performances. Lack of leadership, lack of inspiration, and lack of success. First, Mike Bobo has to go or be demoted immediately. I don’t mean in a month; I mean on the flight home. Second, CMR really needs to decide if he is in it to win it. Going for a field goal against a conference USA team on the one yard line is a joke. Lastly, it is time for the offensive line to get some coaching. Five years ago, I thought CS was awesome. Now, I am convinced the O-Line is the most disappointing part of a horrible season.

It was an embarasment against a small team from a small conference (just like Colorado). I have seen NO improvement in the last two season from start to finish. Quite the opposite. Time NOW for a change. 2nd year coaches like Saban and Chizik come into the SEC and are playing for National Championships. Richt has had 10 years…

It really does no good “to build better men” if they end up in jail or on academic probation…. WE need some FREAKING coaching.

Coach Richt needs to go. Giving him another year is just delaying the inevitable. If we do have any talent on that roster, he and his coaching staff cannot possibly be expected to suddenly figure out how to develop it. It would be best for everyone involved if we just go ahead and take our medicine now.Get Kirby Smart, Harbaugh, somebody and let’s start over. I have a feeling that today’s loss pretty much sealed our fate with guys like Ray Drew and Isiah Crowell anyway.

Oh, and Marcus, please shut up about Aaron Murray. Yes, he played poorly today. But he is not the reason that UGA is 6-7 this year.

The Dogs looked uninspired and down right out-manned on offense. This team is better then their record but 6-7 isn’t the norm and disappointing. UGA must do something about offense before next year or it will be Coach Richt’s last. Stop looking at the five star recruit and start looking for players who will compete and work hard in the classroom and weightroom.

Bill serious question, did Bacari suffer a concussion in the GT game. Remember when he made a big hit and tried to run back on the field and fell flat on his face? If he did have another concussion when is he going to be recommended to hang it up? The kid tackles scared on 50% of his opportunities. Plus some major health risks

Obviously, the football program is broken and chances are that CMR can’t fix it. There is no execution, pride, discipline, or sense of urgency. With everything that has gone on this year, how do you get your behinds handed to you by Central Florida? UGA is far behind UF, LSU, AU, AL, SC, and ARK. McGarity has his work cut out for him but at least has a year to evaluate potential coaches. I now think CMR can’t succeed as UGA’s coach and will not survive.

A Letter To Mr. Mark Richt,

Sir,

In the first half of your position at The University of Georgia you performed admirably. UGA students, fans and alumns were very proud indeed.

However, the last five years of your tenure have shown a consistent downturn resulting in what may be the worst and most embarrassing Bowl performance ever shown in modern day by a UGA Team.

Mus & VanG were allowed to depart under your administration.
Martinez & Bobo were hired and elevated under your administration.
During this time you relinquished your dual role as head coach – offensive play caller which was your specialty.

You have had two years to improve this team. Please don’t quote records – look at the teams we beat and those we lost to.

I therefore respectfully submit to you sir that you tender your resignation immediately.
Please think of The Players and their future, the students, the alumns and all of the fans.

We have endured more than our share of your failure. Any other SEC University would have sent you packing at least one year ago. In my opinion Mr. Adams has a big heart – to a fault and Mr. McGarity is still too new to pick up the phone.

It’s up to you. Do you do what is right or do you continue on knowing in your mind and heart what will happen next season if you remain.

Respectfully,

FLA DAWG
Class of ‘79

The numbers for Mark Richt don’t lie……..

2 wins and 8 losses against the Gators.
6 wins and 7 losses this year apparently continuing the downward slide.
Almost twice as many arrests this year as victories.
4th and inches and he kicks a field goal against UCF.
Calls a timeout in the 4th today after we already ran out of bounds.
Waited three years too long to fire Willie Martinez (best man in his wedding).
Waited three or four years too long to fire Bobo (inexperienced ‘yes’ man married to Dooley’s niece).
Waited far too long to replace Van Hallenger as strength coach (best friend).
Fell asleep four times during today’s game (not really, but who would know the difference?).

Don’t prolong the inevitable and the agony of one more year….let’s get Malzahn or Smart or Petersen or Willingham….the list could go on. Look around the SEC, most teams are getting better. McGarity has a great opportunity to get this right. Hope he shows what he can do!

Is it as simple as the former D coordinator at GA was just that good? GA D improved this year but their O line and RB play is just putrid. Like I said GA may win 7 or 8 games next year but they are a long way off from an SEC championship. Sad sad sad.

4th and inches, at the opponent’s two yard line. If the coach has so little confidence in his offensive scheme, and offensive players, that he can’t go for a first down, or the touchdown — well, that speaks volumes. Richt apparently has little confidence in his offense, or his OC. Why should anyone have any confidence in him? Why would heralded recruits want to come to a program where coaching is sub-par? 2011 will open with losses to Boise St and South Carolina. Georgia football is a sad affair. The decline continues with no end in sight. The shot of Kris Durham crying after the game is iconic now, and represents our status in the football arena. Thank goodness it’s just football. :-)

A thoroughly disappointing game to end a thoroughly disappointing season. Beating Tech is (and always is) a highlight.

Four comments. 1. The defense needs to learn that the most successful way to block passes is by putting your hands up. 2. The defense needs to learn that on the trips screen, you don’t dance with the blockers, you shed them and crash the receiver. 3. Please, son, you can not take a sack when you don’t have any timeouts. Even intentional grounding the ball will stop the clock. You simply can not take a sack with less than a minute and no timeouts. You just can’t. And you especially can’t take two sacks. 4. Offensive linemen. You simply can’t dive at somebody’s legs when they are engaged above the waist. You can’t. So stop. Unless it’s that Auburn guy and then I authorize it for one time only.

The timeout was called because the runner was not out of bounds and the clock was still running. The TV announcer was wrong.

If you are a recruit from Georgia, please come to Georgia and help us. Your state’s flagship university needs you.

Coach Richt. I’m behind you and youv’e got another year, but the players simply HAVE to learn the basic rules of football. It really is a live or die issue for your tenure.

UGA fan all my life….attending games since 1965….season ticket holder since 1977….had the chance to play college football, unfortunatley too small for 1A but played for very successfull D2 school….here are a few thoughts from someone who never air my complaints in these type of forums but i find myself with a feeling i never thought i would have, and that feeling is that UGA will need to let CMR go if they want to compete for championships. Here is some other thoughts to support that.
1- next is is going to be no better. there is not one thing i can see in this team that makes me feel differently
2- Grnatham is not the answer. We are thirteen games into the season and we still fundamentally don’t have a clue…..tackling, covering
3- cannot stop the run….no one coming back who can
4- i believe Murray has the potential to be great but i think he has already outplayed Bobo and Richts ability to coach him. Any improvement he makes won’t be because of anything they do.
5- look around the league and compare who is running offenses- SOS at USC, Malzahln at Auburn, Mullen at MSU, and now Weiss at UF….we have Mike Bobo. Get the picture?
6- OL is fat and weak and slow.
7- things that make you go “what the hell???” 4th and inches at the opponents 2 yrd line IN THE LIBERTY BOWL and you kick a field goal…..first and 25 in what may be the last possesion on the game and you run the ball…..just a couple of example in tonights game of things that happen all the time.
8- Poor clock management on so many occasions i can’t count that high.
9- we have lowered ourselve to black pants, black outs, endzone dances and such. i don’t see Alabama and Auburn doing these things so they can “get a spark”. i say we need to coach better, recruit better, put on the silver pants, red helmet and red or white jersey and compete at a high level because we are prpared in every way to play. We often seem extremely unprepared….like tonight.

So, as much as i like Coach Richt and as much as i hate to go through a coaching change, i’m afraid next year will be another lost year filled with mediocrty(at best) and losses. there is just not any way to spin it and say it is going to get better….and believe me, i have been the one to do just that with the last 2 coaches…. but there is nothing here to spin.

On a positive note, should be easy to get season tix next year or better seats for those who already have them. that is the best i can come up with for a positive. sit back and settle in folks cause there is some lean times coming if nothing changes.

We have as good a talent as any team in the SEC,,, we have NEVER coached up our players under Richt…. UCF shouldn’t be able to hold our ” j strap”… Defense much better… but only had one way to go after the last 4-5 seasons of below average… CMR had us all excited his first few years… then handed over the offensive play calling to Booboo…and hung on to his buddy on defense until given the ultimatum..
Lastly…. still no discipline… too much off the field problems… These kids should understand the honor they have been given to play on a division 1 team…and Georgia with a deep history… they should want to play for the coach… but be fearful of him should they do something wrong…. All players at Alabama want to play for Saben…but scared to death should they get out of line…

we need GOOD COACHING AND STRONG DISCIPLINE..

Not blind enough to actually think we lost the game in the 1st qtr because we didn’t go for it on 4th and short. We are a play or two away from winning every game this year. Our offense has been dynamic all year and Todd has made tremedous improvements with our defense from game to game. If I were the AD I would be considering contract extensions not a firing.

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!! This performance was a disgrace especially in the fourth quarter. I think I just jumped on the fire Mark Richt bandwagon. Something is terribly wrong with our game preparation and seems CMR doesn’t know how to prepare this team for four quarters. I’m sick of hearing FINISH THE DRILL, this bunch doesn’t have a clue. I really don’t think things are going to be any better next season. A change is needed now. I hope McGarity can see this before we waste another year.

Agree with almost everything you said. i don’t see where the D is “much” better. Maybe a little better but as you said, no where to go but up. And the recruiting thing….Although we have had some really good classes, we still seemto be behind a few other schools YOY, and unfortunatley we have to play most of them. so i would say we have as good of players as most teams in the SEC. Certainly good enough to be more competitive that we’ve been, though.

And lets all remember the CMR is making a lot of $$$ to win football game on a high level, not to be a nice guy….that is what a coach is judged on….wins and losses.

The DB coach is not doing much better.The Buck stops with Richt. It Is now time for to totally revamp the entire coaching staff. This is a complete 180 degrees about face for me. With due respect to the loss to GT, 08, & to Col. this year, The loss to UCF is the worst loss & the most unecessary loss during the Richt Era. No way were they even close to being as talented as the Dawgs. The Dawgs were rested & healthy & should have slaughtered UCF. It Is now time for a change.

CMR can talk faith all he wants- and I am a devout Christian- but accepting that fat paycheck and putting such little effort and emotion into it is theft- a literal sin.

I have defended him for the last time. We could at least lose while looking prepared and playing aggressively. Richt has no passion for the game and needs to move on into missions. Unfortunately, the money will keep him here despite his obvious lack of desire to do the job and we can’t afford to buy all of the clowns out.

The only $$ this Terry College grad will give the Athletic program EVER AGAIN will be a contribution to buy out these contracts.

If Richt was truly a man of integrity he would do the right thing and resign- he has failed. But I’m not holding my breath.

My question is where does Georgia go from here. Who could possibly be the right guy?

Jon Gruden – No way in the heck he would come to Athens

Kirby Smart – This would be a gamble but could turn out good since he has the Saban’s blueprint. Yeah, he has never been a head coach but Dan Mullen wasn’t either when MSU came calling and we all know how that’s turning out.

Chris Peterson – The whole Dan Hawkins fiasco at Colorado scares me but didn’t we lose to Colorado?

Dan Mullen – Now this would be a huge change to his spread offense.

Brain Van Gorder – He would really bring defense back to Georgia. Look at how pitiful they have been with out him. Not to mention the success the Falcons are having this year.

Jim Harbaugh – I think he is seriously the next Michigan coach.

Mike Leach – I like Leach’s offenses, but he doesn’t care too much about defense.

Derek Dooley – This would be a dark horse in my opinion. Derek Dooley didn’t do too bad if you ask me for his first year at Tennessee. You have to consider that the players on his team have had THREE head coaches in three years. He was robbed of the LSU and NC game. He did much better with Tyler Bray at quarterback. I think Tennessee will win the east next year or finish at least in second. I think Dooley would be good for Georgia because he is someone that is young as has fire in him. He also grew up in the Georgia family and has passion for the Dawgs, something CMR simply does not and will not have.

What do you guys think about this list?

Tech fans are sure consumed by UGA. At least we went to Shreveport last year and won. You need to worry about your own pathetic program. You guys have a losing season this year too and it doesn’t even seem to bother you. Instead you take the time to come on a UGA blog and try to bash us. Nobody listens to you because your team stinks and has for years. Your team couldn’t stop a team that runs the same kind of offense yours does and your defense sees in practice everyday. How bad is that? We may be having a ough time now but we will still beat you every year.

I’m speechless. I cannot remember a more pitiful showing by a Bulldog team. Not going for it on 4th and inches inside the 5 yard line was unfathomable. What the hell did we have to lose even if we didn’t make it? It’s not like we were playing for anything that mattered. Richt was showing absolutely no confidence in his team. What a weak leader he has become. He needs to “man up” and resign. If not, McGarity needs to fire him, and get on a plane to Pasadena with a blank check for Gary Partterson.

Everyone on these blogs know that i have supported Richt.

I simply can not anymore.

I will never pull for us to lose so the coach goes.

In my opinion, Richt should resign tomorrow morning for the sake of the progeam, the fanbase and the alumni.

Recruiting is going to get hammered with a “give him one more year” approach.

I will always admire and respect Coach Richt for the person he is and for what he has done for the UGA program.

He simply needs to step down now.

It really pains me to write this.

What a pathetic showing!

The lines were whipped on both sides of the ball. Pass blocking broke down and when it didn’t there were no open receivers. Run blocking as always is nonexistent. Where was Murray throwing most of the night? Triple coverage?

What a bunch of sissies these offensive lineman played like. How much experience have they had together?

Not going for it on 4th and inches from the 2 yard line on our first drive ultimately cost us the game. If the game is tied at the end as it would have been, it completely changes the dynamics. No longer are we trying to drive the length of the field for a touchdown, but are trying to get in position for a game winning FG. Totally different situation and almost assuredly able to be accomplished.

Late in the game as someone else pointed out with 1st and 25 from our 10 yd line and we run the ball up the middle?! Watching other games, they run the ball quickly and with purpose, but then again most have competent O-lines.

Easy to point out the obvious; more difficult to fix it. But you can bet if I was making the big bucks that is being paid out, I would be changing it all up. Something has to be done and very soon. I am always a supporter and always will be, but let’s just say I won’t be as active until it gets a whole lot better. I am sick and tired of our program continuing to go downhill. And many of you are so dumb that you think next year will just suddenly get better. Oh, it’ll be LeMay or Crowell or someone else…..this is not a problem 2 or 3 athletes (all unproven) can repair. It is a much deeper problem.

At the beginnning of the game I was sad that there would be no more UGA football for 8 months; by halftime I was so thankful for the same reason.

3. A player suspended for violating NCAA rules.

4. Winning the Fulmer Cup for the most players arrested.

5. Winning the title of #1 party school (i.e., the most drunken student body in the USA).

6. A sleazy assistant coach who razzes opposing players, unethical coaching conduct in violation of NCAA rules.

7. A super sleazy head coach who thinks he’s a saint, but recruits thug wannabes, gangbangers, and illiterate morons.

8. A 6-6 record despite having a team full of 4- and 5-star recruits.

Really something to be proud of!

I highly doubt it is for the lack of funds, but if so… I will gladly step in to fill Mike Bobo’s tiny shoes next year FREE OF CHARGE. Blind I am, but even a man at such great disadvantage can put together an offense with more dimensions than Bobo. True, I am advanced in age, but my war stories will inspire more passion and fire in these kids, something that is desperately needed before we can call ourselves a team.

In a traditional sense, insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. In my sense, it is defined as allowing Mike Bobo to run our offense. 1st and 25 is not a time to run. Statistically, you have better odds of winning the lottery three times in a row. On the flip side of statistics, 4th an Inches is a very safe bet, but we have decided to settle far too many times this year. It shows ZERO confidence in 11 of your players and that sticks with 20 year olds far longer than one play. We lost the game at that moment.

As one Christian to another, CMR please stop using our program as a testing ground for unprove/untested OC’s and DC’s. Top flight programs are the destination of the top coaching talent in the nation, not the leaping board. It is time to bring in an offensive genius… if Weiss was/is available why was the call not made by us???? Why are we always looking back saying what if or why not? We have the talent, we have the facilities… now we NEED you to do what is right – Hire the right coaches for us to succeed or step down because you are unwilling to do so.

I’ve always been a huge Mark Richt supporter, and still am. But even I have to question not going for it inside the five yard line on 4th and inches against a defense that hadn’t slowed you down the whole drive. I think that sucked a little juice from the offense and probably made them think that the coach had no confidence in their ability to get two inches. But that was only one mistake for Mark. It’s up to the players to perform, and for the rest of the game, they had plenty of chances. Games aren’t won or lost on one mistake. There is 60 minutes of play and each team gets ample opportunity to make plays. Give credit to UCF. They had nothing to lose and were ready to play. One other point that I think Georgia has to improve on…You have to get the ball to your best player. And that didn’t happen tonight. A.J. Green has to get the ball. He has to. Throw to him. Throw to him. Throw to him. Go deep. Do something. But get A.J. the ball. Very disappointing. I give Mark one more year to turn it around. But even I would have to search for a coach if things don’t get drastically better in 2011.

I am very disappointed with the outcome, but all anyone is wanting to do is fire Coach Richt. He has the best record of all the past coaches at UGA in a 10 year period. Yes we should of gone for the 1st down, it could have set the tone for the game. We DO NOT have a true stud RB, our OL had flashes of success but it was not what it was suppose to be. No matter what all the so called coaches on these blogs say about our defense, it did show improvement in certain areas, against the run it was very BAD. In order to have a good 3-4 you have to a 350lb NG & 2 or more 300 plus tackles. There does need to be some changes, OC is a good start. But if the OC is gone, who could and/or get. Also I would like to talk about noise(less) at Sanford stadium, in the 70’s & 80’s opposing teams did not want to play BETWEEN THE HEDGES. Now they look forward to playing there, NO NOISE. I started going to games in the early 60’s & went to school there in the 70’s, with less seats in the stadium it was louder than it is know. Our players feed off the noise, it gets the coaches pumped & the recruits hear it & they want to play in Athens. Other schools in the SEC make a whole lot more noise then our fans do. All our fans want to do is complain about CMR & our players. Well I hope Coach Richt is back & I am ready to get hammered about my comments.

Bama put an exclamation mark on that and then we lost to Tech. All these highly touted players and highly ranked recruiting classes and no real chance at an SEC title, can’t beat FL, and now we are down to this awful loss to UCF. Hard to believe. Hard to believe. And now we have an AD that schedules Boise St ……. I think I get it now: McGarity is trying to get Richt to resign so he doesn’t have to fire him. Don’t hold your breath on that my friend. People don’t resign from jobs making 2.8 million $. There is no silver lining in this finish last night unless it is that Richt is closer to being fired.

The 2007 or even 2008 UGA team would have hosed this UCF team.

I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1980 and my dad started taking me to games in 1965. I have to say that’s the worst call I’ve ever seen by Mark Richt at UGA and the worse bowl game since 1969 vs Nebraska. No, it wasn’t a beat down however, it was the most uninspired game I’ve seen under Richt. Unfortunately, it reminded me of the last couple of seasons under Goff.

As a fan of Georgia football it is a crying shame to lose to a mid major team like Central Florida. Mark Richt do the fans a favor and resign and take Mike Booboo with you. Our first losing season since 1996 and first 7 loss season since 1990 when Ray Goof was roaming the sidelines. Our program needs a coach that will get things done and get the best effort out of our players. 14-12 over the last two seasons is unacceptable. If I was the AD I would give Mal Moore (Alabama AD) a call and ask to speak to Kirby Smart about becoming THE NEW HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT UGA!!! In other words Mark Richt hit the road and don’t let the door hit you where The Good Lord split you on the way out.

Kicking the field goal on a 4th and inches they could have made a 1st down btw is SETTLING.

SETTLING to be MEDIOCRE.
Bobo’s game plan was again exposed when he ran 3 straight times in the 3rd and punted, then passed 3 times taking a grand total of 10 SECONDS OFF THE CLOCK on another.

SETTLING FOR BOBO is saying we will be average – we won’t use our weapons.

January 1st, 2011

One of the biggest concerns that I have with our football game plans is that there never seems to be evidence of “back-up” offensive strategies. When you are getting “whipped” on the offensive line, why do you not try something like throwing screen/shuttle passes to offset the aggressiveness of the opposing defense? More of the same, does not seem to be a good idea when it has not worked the entire game. I really don’t know of a quarterback in America who could be successful with so little time given in which to operate. (Going into the season, I thought our offensive line was suppose to be our biggest strength.) As for our defense, I don’t believe I have ever seen a team that has such poor tackling technique. It seems like a strong recruiting point for our coaching staff should be that you will be able to “play immediately” if you come to Georgia. In watching the Central Florida defensive players, it was apparent that when they went for one of our players, they were determined to not just try and slow them, but go for the sure tackle. It really appears that our defensive players have the idea that they are dependent on someone farther down the field to complete the job. But the biggest mistake I saw last night, was the lack of confidence exhibited in our offense by not going for it on fourth and very short when they have driven the ball all the way down the field on a beautiful sustained drive. I really feel that sent a strong psychological message to our offense that their capabilities were doubted from the beginning.

Richt should resign. He should have never have made Mike Dodo OC and has said he has no plans to. Fourth and inches and hes afraid to go for it – oh, I guess that was Dodo decision. As long as Richt is head coach the Dawgs will never be a title contender.

Everything you said is on the mark. Our kickoff receiving team also allowed a TD on the opening kickoff– thankfully called back. B. Smith ran a kickoff back what– 5 yards? Trinton Sturdevant was guilty on the chop block. Demarcus Dobbs was offsides– twice! Rambo stood there while a UCF RB ran right by him on one play. Murray and those gloves– what’s up with that? He stunk it up after the opening drive. Too bad CMR had NO backup QB.

Richt HAS to go NOW! I enjoy hearing my pastor on Sunday but I don’t want to pay $50 to watch him coach football on Saturday!

SORRY, but

I think Richt thought it was fourth and goal when he kicked the field goal rather than fourth and inches. Why else would you not even ask for a measurement?

And think Richt called time out with 3.17 left in the game AFTER the player went out of bounds because he thought the player stayed in bounds. Why else would you waste a time out like that at the end of the game?

Good bye Seniors, and Good Bye Juniors that are worth anything.
Good bye recruits that havent committed.

Why anyone would want to stay around or go to a sorry a$$ program like this is beyond me.

Coach Richt is a simple idiot – - always has been and always will be. Nuf said.

Unbelievable and I could not believe what I was seeing. Literally a 4th and inches on the opponents 2 yard line, and Richt decides to kick a field goal? A record of 6-6, playing in a lower tier bowl that means nothing and you do not have the guts to try for a 1st down or touchdown? Pathetic, cowardly, stupid, embarrasing. I ask, would Saban, Meyer, Petrino, Miles, Chizik. others…. have made that same call? I am 100% confident in saying NO they would not. To all of them, the decision would have been a ” no decision ” and gone for the 1st down/TD with no hesitation.

Dawg fans are about as smart as Bobo’s play calling. Just think, if Richt goes for the 4th and inches early in the game, and, UGA wins on a last second field goal, then, Dawg fans are claiming they are #1 and have turned the program around by beating O’Leary’s Knights.

Dawg fans then claim, they will beat Boise State to start 2012 and win the SEC thus play in the BCS National Championship game. Then, Richt can land a lifetime $10million a year contract.

But, everyone knows football is just a game of inches.

No improvement from start to finish this season with this team. They must be the worst “blocking” team i’ve ever seen, hence no running game. If Ealy manages to get past the line, he gets nailed by the nearest defender. Pathetic… all that talent and can’t even score a touchdown against CF !!!!
Please everyone… boycott the games until he either resigns or gets fired. What is going to happen in the meantime is Bobo will be “replaced” as OC hoping that will be enough of a change to keep his job.
That’s not good enough for me, but it will be for the AD. Send a message….

in the “big picture”…football is a passion, but, really-let’s face it-long term, the emotions of short-term losses, failures, etc. fade away. I do not excuse the total destruction of our once heralded program.

Years past, we had lesser talent who played with more passion under the leadership of passionate coaches. Think about Dooley/Erk Russell teams: often lesser talent, but more passion from players who didn’t need to be “baby sat”. I dare say, sometimes teams win in spite of their coaches. During Mark’s earlier years this was the case because he inherited good players.

What UGA needs now is a “George Patton”, kick *** field General, not some arm-chair Washington based bureaucrat who really doesn’t understand that we’re in a “war”. We don’t need any “community organizers” to lead our “troops” while we’re under siege…think about it..

Our institutions of “higher learning” are now nothing more than an integral part of the social engineering machine which attempts to fix the symptoms and not the problem. Let’s be honest…follow the money; after all is said and done, “the root of all evil, is the love of money”.

Richt appears to be doing things to make it easy for McGarity to fire him. Why would you drive 95 yards and settle for a field goal. It was the 1st quarter in a meaningless game. Why keep trying to pass without some help with the running game? Why not play backups if the starters are just going thru the motions? I think Richt wants out but is too proud to just resign.

Just another horrible showing from a HC that does not know how to prepare his team to play football. Dawg fans, open your eyes. The proof is on the field and in the decisions to retain inept coaches. Richt should save us the agony and resign. Why do people think that no school has come calling for any of the coaches on this staff? they all suck and it is time for a change. If McGarrity doesn’t fire Richt, he should be fired. This will be the same story next year if he stays. I have been a Dawgs’ fan for 31 years and this is the worst showing that I have ever seen. You can keep telling yourselves that it will get better, that CMR is a great man. That may be true, but he is not a good head coach and as long as he stays, we will continue to fall to the bottom of college football, not just the SEC. If you are a top recruit, be honest, would you commit to this disaster of a program. This decision needs to be made now and not after next year. If we have to start over, lets get it done now to prepare us for the future. They had four weeks to prepare for this game and it looked like they started preparing on Thurday.

I am afraid that UGA hurt it’s recruiting very bad last night. The 4th and inches field goal would tell any recruit, what kind of coaching to expect on the offensive end. I have a lot of respect for CMR as a man and he used to have good judgement, get fired up and be an inspiration to his players. Now, I believe, he really would like to be terminated from his head coaching job as he knows he doesn’t have that fire needed anymore. No person in thier right mind is going to walk away from 3 million a year, no matter his desire, or motivation. It is up to the Athletic Director to make the change and we just have to eat up the pay out money. If the situation continues as it most likely will, he will lose a lot more booster money than the payoff he would pay to let CMR go and hire a new coach. One has to question keeping CMR, in keeping his OC alone, but when you see a coach not even able to get fired up, in a bowl game, no matter it’s importance, you can feel it is time for a change. Do you think that the team feels any confidence in the OC, much less the head coach sticking by him? Most of this teams problems can be attrbuted to poor conditioning, poor offensive game plans, uninspired coaching, and poor discipline. If there are no changes made soon, this year will look like a success compared to what is in store for next year. I am a UGA fan till the end, but I was kind of hoping the end would be when I kicked the bucket; Not while I was still alive and watching my dogs play like the end was already there for them. Come on folks in the Admin. of UGA, I am 62 now and want to see a good UGA team before I go. It is a good thing I have many more interest in life than football played by my team. Would be a very long year if not.

What does “talent-loaded SEC offense” offense even mean? As if being in the SEC confers some magical powers to your team that makes them better than everyone else. Fact is, the Bulldogs are just like any other college team regardless of their conference affiliation, and last night they looked average at best. The SEC performance in the bowls so far shows that they are just like any other conference, so let’s stop pretending putting those initials on your field gives your team superpowers.

We took the family to Liberty Bowl to give them a taste of a “formerly” great UGA tradition. Horrible – CMR absolutely coached a pathetic game including the 4th and inches on the 2 FG, the “take it to the dressing room” at the end of the 1st half with 40 seconds to play, the 1st and 25 draw play in the 4th, no imagination for a offensive scheme, no adjustments in the second half, etc, etc.

Team was flat and uninspired (as were the Dawg nation in the stands). CMR has lost the right to coach another year at UGA – he has completely lost control of the football program.

Boise State will beat a CMR coached UGA team next season – no doubt.

5. Winning the title of #1 party school (i.e., the most drunken student body in the USA).

6. A sleazy assistant coach who razzes opposing players, unethical coaching conduct in violation of NCAA rules.

7. A super sleazy head coach who thinks he’s a saint, but recruits thug wannabes, gangbangers, and illiterate morons.

I watched the game on TV like most of you. UCF was playing the game with passion. UGA showed up and played.

This is the exact thing that happened to GT against Air Force. AFA played with a passion and Tech just showed up and played.

And that is about how both teams played this year, just showed up for the game and played. Fulfilled the contract, so to speak.

Tech’s problem is not enough really talented players. And when a team with average players just shows up, a loss occurs.

Georgia’s problem is a really talented team that plays with little passion. We all know UGA should have beaten South Carolina, Ms State and Florida this past season. But they did not.

We all know UGA should have run the table against its non conference opponents. But they did not.

Auburn was a better team than UGA and that loss was a given. But no other loss by UGA should have happened. But the losses happened.

If I had the answer I would right a book and retire a millionaire. But I do not have the answer.

Right now Ala, Aub, Fla and LSU are the cream of the SEC crop. UGA is in that mid-tier group of KY, Ms State, SC and UT. It appears KY, Ms State, SC and UT may be moving up. I cannot say that about UGA this morning. They appear to be on the way down.

Bobo would be an average high school coach!!!! Love CMR but, DAMN!!! We are going to get embarrased by Boise St in our NEXT GAME!!

Yesterday’s performance sums up the entire season: Pathetic! At best, this team played it’s entire season as “disinterested.” Not one single game did the Dawgs play to their potential and Friday’s Liberty Bowl was no exception. 12 arrests, an un-inspired coach, an offense so predictable that the opposing team could play us blindfolded and still come up with a win. I was never one of these on the Fire Mark Richt bandwagon, but I dont see any reason to think that next season is going to be any differnt than this one.

You see, the difference is this. Tech and UGA finish their seasons with the same record, but Tech fans have hope that their coach can actually turn things around. What did Spurrier always say? “He gets all these 5-star recruits, but doesn’t do anything with them.” Imagine what CPJ could do with those 5-star recruits!

Thuga had no business being in a bowl game with a 6 and 6 record in the regular season. One of those wins was against Idaho State, one was against Vandy, one was against the Vols, and one was because Tech’s field goal kicker missed an extra point. But, now that they are 6 and 7, the delusional fan base will still say they should be in the top 5 in the preseason polls for 2011.

OK, UGA (8-5) beats Texas A&M (6-7) in the Indy Bowl in 2009. This year UGA goes to the Liberty Bowl (ok) and finishes 6-7 while A&M goes to the Cotton Bowl and will finish the season with a winning record. Not a happy camper right now as we replaced coaches as necessary but still need to turn up the recruiting a notch or two. The State of Georgia only has two D-IA football programs so why can’t UGA secure more D-I talent? Georgia State, I think, will remain D-IAA.

By the way lawmakers and decision makers, our neighbors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama each have at least three D-I bowl eligible football programs. Tennessee and North Carolina have at least five, and Florida, seven. That’s SEVEN. South Carolina’s programs will be judged as soon as their Luv Guv stops hiking in Argentina.

Sorry, like a lot of Dawg fans, just frustrated. Happy New Year to everyone.

No. But when Florida came and offered, he took it.
There are plenty of GREAT coaches out there that UGA could hire. The TCU’s, the Boise’s, the Utahs, that have great coaches that will some day leave for a bigger program because they cannot compete with money, tradition and SEC conference that a school like UGA offers.

11, 10, 8, 6 (wins) says it all. These are dark days for UGA football program. Mark Richt is a respectable man of integrity, no doubt. But his head coaching abilities are in question. Is the problem discipline, recruiting, staffing? Maybe a combination of them all. Should UGA suffer another lackluster year before doing something about it? Another year is probably not going to make that big of a difference since the problems have become systemic in nature.

You and I aren’t paid to know who all of them are, but I bet you the AD, Greg McGarity, and others in the “know” know who they have on their radars. It is a $3,000,000 per year position…

I say the problem with Mark is no Head Coaching experience when he came to Ga. He was NOT a proven head Coach. When he came to Ga he had a written profile of everything Bowden did at FSU. The longer he stayed at Ga he got away from that plan. Hired his friends, (Bowden taught him that also, he admitted it this year). He quit calling plays. That was his number one STRENGHT! He made bad hires, kept them to long, made the practices to solf. etc etc. He knows this now. But can he Coach? Could he ever Coach? How long will the new AD put up with this. We are paying him big bucks! We deserve answers.

Bill D

January 1st, 2011

The worst “play” of the game was the calling of a time-out–with the clock already stopped-on UGA’s last drive of the game. This is terrible coaching. Another time out was called, with the clock stopped, on 4th down–didn’t we have a call ready for 4th and 7 or so—all the above with less than 3 minutes to go??? Would Mike Smith have gone for it-4th and inches? One TV commentator said “kick the field goal” to get any points because it’s a bowl game. A UGA football team should say “we are UGA” and these points aren’t essential in the first quarter. A lack of effort.

I recall a Georgia fan calling into the after game radio show two years ago after Bama kicked our ass in Athens, we all remember that game.
The caller said he noticed that in the pregame warmups that Alabama coaches were running their team through disciplined, pregame drills and all of the players had their helmets on and chin strapped, etc.
WHILE at the same time, all of the Georgia players, Stafford/Moreno & company, were over on the sidelines practicing their “chest pumps” and “back bumps” without their helmets on displaying a total lack of DISCIPLINE.

UGA has a fine football history and you should all be proud of that and quit whining like babies. UCF is a young and hungry program that will continue to get stronger and stronger. GET USED to it! In FL there is UCF, USF, FSU, Miami, UF, FIU and FAU all FBS programs. UCF lost to KSU on the final play of the game, bowl team. UCF lost to NC STATE on the final play of the game, bowl team. UCF lost big to Southern MISS a team UCF should have beaten, bowl team. UCF is the 2nd largest university in the USA…In the only other meeting between UCF and UGA, the ref gave UGA the game.. the payback was worth waiting for.

Even when Georgia has had a top 7 recruiting class its still ranked like 3rd or 4th in the SEC. Georgia needs a number one recruiting class with immediate impact players! Coaches are as good as there players. Ask Urban Meyer and Gene Chizik…Georgia is letting too many great recruits go to Alabama , Florida, Auburn, Tennnesse and everywhere else.

January 1st, 2011

I’ve been watching the UGA football program slowly implode over the past few years. Just when I thought they had hit bottom they once again proved me wrong.
I may not have the X’s and O’s knowledge that the objective blogger’s have but I know krap when I see it.. It’s painfully obvious that Richt has totally lost control. He’s a fine man and devoted christian but that style simply does not work with the vast majority of UGA ’s self-centered jocks. If you choose to recruit this type of athlete you must demand discipline, performance and instill a degree of fear in your coaching philosophy.. I’d don’t need to list the SEC coaches that successfully use such style.
One more year will not begin to solve this problem. Richt has lost the respect of the majority of the players. They have given up.On top of that his excessive loyalty to the coaching staff and certain Seniors has gotten the program in the horrendous shape it’s now in.
Richt must go and the new guy must clean house. That will not reverse the program overnight. We need to brace ourselves for a slow resurrection.

The DAWGS have become a below average team and an embarrassment under his leadership…actually and possibly the worst team I remember seeing my 35 years of watching the dawgs…just one disappointment after another. Insted of him being compared to Dooley…he going to be remember along with Golf’s era before it is over…in the meantime, UGA football will be a lost cause for ever how long Garity and others allow this to continue.

What about the horrible time management at the end of the game? How many times does this happen under Richt? On 2nd down, we throw the QB out of bounds and the clock is stopped, and then we call a time out!!! Why? Then on 3rd down, we do not use our last time out and about 45 precious seconds run off the clock. I was screaming at the TV to call a time out!!! We then get the ball back, and throw a 2 yard pass over the middle. Another 30 seconds wasted!!!

But he is paid $3,000,000 and is no longer performing to that level.
Get over it.

One thing is for sure UGA has the most over-rated offensive line in the country. We Dog fans hope half the team does go pro so we can sub in some real players. All those (except maybe Green) who think they are going pro will be lucky to get a position on the practice squad.

like to know if USMC Dawg went through PI if so do you think any Georgia lineman would have made the grade.PI 1959 UGA 1958.
When I saw Georgia go for the field goal my wife{Duke)said games over.Her reason being Georgia is a bunch of Wussies.
Williams wants a release I say tell the offencive line they can all be released and good riddance.
Our future lies in beating powerhouses Buffalo,Florida Atlantic,North Texas,Charleston Southern,Georgia State,Coastal Carolina,New Mexico State,Appy State and adding some real lightweights like Agnes Scott,and Columbia college for women. Forget Kennesaw State as it has a Dooley tradition. Pass on the Citadel as these cadets have too much heart.
So sit back now for 9 months and see the Georgia football,, headlines. ,DUI,CHEATING,THEFT and all the other things you know what of which Mark Richt teams are becoming famous for.

Marcus- Yeah, Murray didn’t look great in that game. He may not have beaten a team w/ a winning record, but he still put up great numbers over the whole season, & he didn’t have many bad games this yr…even in most of teh losses. He’s only a Fr., & he did have good games & beat 3 bowl teams. I know he & UGA didn’t look good yesterday, but maybe if the rest of the team (mainly the O-Line & RBS) were as good as teh were supposed to be….it wouldn’t be so hard for him to do it all.

Long time reader…first time blogger…84 Grad (the good years). I am sick and tired of the lack of toughness, pathetic, unispired, lackadasical, effort year after year. The team is clear reflection of its coach (see Alabama/Florida). The landscape changed in the SEC with Petrino, Spurrier, Saban, Meyer and now Chizik (remains to be seen once Malzahn and Newton leave) and Richt became what he really is…a mediocre coach at best. Fundamentals stink…arm tackling, O-Line, play calling, clock management, assistant coach hires and fires, etc. He HAS to go. I cant believe the university that I attended can put up with this any longer…money is not an object. We need Harbaugh! He is the epitome of toughness and has an edge about him that we need!

I am writing this for my own sanity. I am not into blasting young kids; however they are not being given the direction or support needed to achieve the success we have come to expect from our program. It is quite apparent there is a “Disconnect” at the highest level in this program and either Mr Richt is either not sincere with his comments and/or is not capable of continuing to direct this program. To provide real leadership there are expectations that must be met.

EXAMPLE: What kind of leadership does it provide to our players when so little confidence is shown in them that we will not go for a 4th and inches attempt so early in a game.

As I prefaced this is to save my own sanity and I have no other issues with Mark Richt but believe he has not displayed the ability to produce a program which meets my expectations. He appears to be a great person but I do not believe he is the right “Fit” for our program. I wish him the best as I do not know what the future may hold for him, but I personally can not continue the year long anticipations and disappointments that have become a recent hallmark of the Mark Richt “Era”. That all being said I feel much better…….GO DAWGS.

First, to all the Tech fans on here giving us grief, come back when you can beat us. Second, to the folks criticizing Murray for a bad game, get a grip. This kid has been a warrior all year. Third, to anyone criticizing any of the players, take a look at the video of Chris Durham leaving the field and tell me these kids didn’t want to win this game. This year is squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff, not the players. What message do you send to your team when your coaching staff decides to kick a field goal on fourth and inches from the three instead of punching it in. Football is not a chess match, it’s an aggressive, collision sport. Until Coach Richt figures that out, we will continue to lose games that we shouldn’t or win by razor thin margins. Richt has a great overall record and he seems to be a truly good man, but he does not have the aggressiveness and go for the throat attitude that it will take to be a truly dominating head coach in the SEC. Keep the faith Dawgs and let’s hope for the best in 2011.

Let’s face it, not many of the naysayers thought UCF had what it took to beat Georgia – even if it was a mediocre version of the once-feared Dawgs. But perhaps it was an omen of good things to come when Georgia mascot – Uga VIII – didn’t show up for the game because of gastrointestinal issues. Or at least that was the official story. Considering what is going on at big-time BCS schools this year, I believe Uga VIII was probably suspended for selling his commemorative Liberty Bowl pooper scooper to a Georgia booster for $1,000.

Is it just me or does everyone else see the way bobo falls into calling play action passes over and over again. The idea of play action is to make the defense think run but if you do it ever play then it doesn’t work. The end result is a play that is slow developing and keeps the qb’s eyes in the wrong direction for to long. If you run a strait drop back pass the qb can see the feild more and also see the rush better. I just don’t think defenses bite on play action when it is second or third and forever. Just wondering if I was imaging this or did everyone else notice this. Bobo is to play action what jim donnan was to the screen game.

Last year we said, ‘Things can’t go on like this’, and they didn’t, they got worse.

This team is an enigma, less than the sum of it’s parts. We have 10-12 win talent….but, is that very talent causing 6-8 wins a year? Is that talent being wisely used or do these players have any hamster’s running their wheel?

As far as CMR goes I am officially on the fence. I like him, and I think he deserves one more year to “right the ship”, but this can’t continue.

The team I witnessed play yesterday was a disappointment. I am almost embarrassed to wear my Georgia gear….almost.

The game was lost on the first drive. Fourth and inches at the goal line and you kick a field goal. That is a bad message to send to your team….or did CMR know what was to come already?

For all the hype this O-line has received the last two years they’re horrible. Mike Bobo calls delayed draws on 1st and 25 and 2nd and 13. Timeouts wasted, players make plays and then disappear for two quarters, and when something seems to be working we abandon it.

For whatever reason this Senior class showed no leadership, except for maybe Kris Durham.

Searles has done nothing here. Tony Ball and Bryan McClendon have not earned their money.

Tell Bobo to go back to coaching QBs or take a hike. Pay Neil Callaway to return as Offensive Coordinator and O-line coach. Replace Ball and McClendon. Hire a full time Special Teams coach.

I just hope our recruits didn’t take that seriously. Hopefully they can envision themselves turning this thing around and being heroes. If this class falls apart we are toast.

Look: I love Mark Richt as a wonderful Christian man. But as a lifelong Dawg fan, I knew he’d lost this program when we had to revert to our little end zone dance to beat Florida 3 years ago. All my Dawg friends got mad at me but it is so clear to see. Richt won with the great recruits of an otherwise very average Donnan regime. The last few years have been HIS highly rated but oft troubled kids he brings in. Well, this aint FL State and this aint the ACC! WE MUST RECRUIT KIDS WITH INTEGRITY FROM GEORGIA!!! Remember David Greene, David Pollock ect…The 4 or 5 stars by the name of a recruit CAN NOT be the only criteria we consider when recruiting at UGA.

Mr. Singlinlington

January 1st, 2011
1:16 pm

Not only did the team live up to Richt’s total lack of faith in them on the first drive…Richt and Bobo did the same thing right after our first pick. Bobo called a play action pass that was blown up setting up 2nd and 23. At which point Bobo totally gave up on the drive. Calling our predictable draw play that goes no where on 2nd down and the all too obvious screen pass on 3rd and forever that also fails to gain any yards. The coaches quit on the drive. If they can quit why can’t the players? Lead by example.

The same thing happened at the end of the half. Instead of driving as hard as we could to get in FG range (with a kicker that can hit from 50+, no less), we call a running play where Ealey is tackled in-bounds. So we let the clock run out. This lack of effort at the end of the half has happend in many games this season. Again the coaches quit on the team,

If he coaches try and make something happen on every single play…maybe the players would start playing that way! Instead the message our coaches send is “If any of you make a mistake and we lose yardage, this drive is over.” No wonder when things start going bad they go very very bad.

If Crowell comes to UGA , I predict that our one, two combination at tailback next year will be Malcomb and Crowell. King and Ealey will be lucky to get in a game next year. Ealey could have been the difference in our game if arm tackles didn’t bring him down every time he carried the ball. Ealey second effort is non existent. I blame the running back coach the most and after this year I hope McGarity will see it the same way and replace McLendon .

Richt doesn’t get them motivated to “finish the Drill”. Players like Richt but don’t play hard for him. He looked nervous and lost on the sidelines. Not going for it on 4th and inches on the goalline set the tone for the rest of the game. It’s time for a change we have seen this enough times to realize it’s going to happen again.

The reason Murray wore gloves is because you can grip the ball better so you can throw the ball harder and with more authority .Murray is short and has small hands and is trying to zip the ball but this is a major change and you don’t do that after 12 games without gloves. Murray over threw receivers three time that accounted for two interceptions and late in the game he over threw Durham on the 15 or 20 yard line that could have given us a legitimate chance to score and win the game.

It’s time for change. This is not a one game event or a one year event. This has been a program in decline even when we had Stafford, Moreno, & Green on the same team. Richt is in over his head and was not good enough to take that type of talent to an SEC or National Championship. It is unlikely that he will ever have that type of talent at skill positions again, so what makes anyone think that Mark is capable of magically becoming a coaching genius.

Let’s all be honest and call it objectively, Mark is a great, Christian man, a terrific role model for young men, just not the right coach to lead this program to an Sec or National Championship.

Adams and McGarity don’t have the gonads to do it now. Basically, I think McGarity has told Adams he can’t research and hire a coach in time for signing day.

I remember a time when Georgia turned down a bowl bid be cause the school and coaches felt they didn’t deserve to go based on their record. It’s like being recognized for a -c grade on a report card. Both Tech and UGA should have turned down their bids until they earned the right to play in a bowl and this goes for all schools.

Nick Saban,Urban Meyer, and now looks like Will Muschamp will surpass CMR. CMR has been at UGA for 10 seasons and no national title.

This is not the previous Chicago Dawg but whatever happened to throwing down field? You have the best WR in the nation who is fast and athletic. Why aren’t we throwing a deep post or a go route? 77 yards receiving should have been one pass play. The playcalling was absolutely awful and it looked like we were unprepared. That is coaching and it falls on Bobo and Richt b/c Richt allowed it. The defense allows 10 points and you don’t win? The defense is there but just needs to be more physical. This team doesn’t look like an SEC team with talent and physical aggressiveness. They fit more in the PAC 10. Something needs to change, again.

The so called leave early people, (I still think you need to talk to Fred Gibson) other than that, haul ass! You never impressed nobody at anytime in 2 years. Houston, hope you have a great pro career, you were consistent all year, thanks for your effort! A.J., you owe the UGA nation, the only the thing you accomplished this year was you got another year of free education, or are you going to sell last night’s jersey to help buy you a ticket to the NFL combines? A question though, was CMR referring to you or himself at the end of the press conference when he stated, “time to go, time to go!”? I hope it was him! As far as a “Dream Team”, hell, UGA has been hailed to be a dream team for 3 years, who in their right mind would want to play for a bunch of DA coaches at UGA? Fla. is doing something about their program, which they realized last year that they were in trouble; UGA has known for years that they have been in trouble, but we still are waiting on a “Dream Team” to show up. The UGA nation is waiting for a “Realistic Team” to show up!
To sum it up, all of ya’ll (coaching staff) needs to be fired, except Grantham; he needs a chance to coach HIS recruits, if he can find any in the country who wants to come to UGA! The rest of the staff is horrible, always looking for excuses and pointing fingers at kids for terrible play, now that’s class Bobo!

Losing to UCF should not be embarassing to UGA fans. This loss was to a team ranked in the top 25 regardless of its conference affiliation. The problem is not that UGA has bad football coaches. The problem is that too many UGA fans have unrealistic expectations about the team. Fans should just be fans. If they do not want CMR to stay, they can find another team to cheer for.

Richt’s and Georgia’s problems began with the 2005 team in the Sugar Bowl loss to WV. They inexplicably fell behind by FOUR touchdowns by halftime. That was a sign of something going badly wrong on the coaching side. The next big sign was the following year, 2006, in the Colorado game. If you go back and look at the film, you will see a Georgia team that was ill prepared. They won that game, barely, but ended up losing four games that year. And then there were the blow-out losses to teams like Florida, Alabama and Tennessee in the following seasons. What was that about? The drumbeat of embarrassments just kept on, year after year. Frankly, I was ready to dump Richt at the end of the 2008 season…and said so often. After two more miserable years, it has gotten worse. His contract runs through 2013. If you are a wealthy alum and you have any influence, you’d better start using it now. If you don’t ease Richt now, we will pay for it even more heavily next year and the year after. We’re in a deep hole. Let’s start climbing out NOW.

They say, the McGarity’s of the UGA nation that is, that Richt has enough capital built up to be able to come back and stink it up one more year. For $2.8 mil a year this joke of a coach has not created the capital which should bring him back. Others making similar money in the SEC have “the capital” I’m talking about; either a national title or an undefeated team at least one year in their tenure (in Richt’s case his ten).

If earned capital is the only reason he comes back, hey, Richt hasn’t earned either of the two that count for the money this joke is getting paid.

Yesterday’s loss summed up our whole season “TERRIBLE”. Anyone want to dispute that our recruiting has been terrible the last 3-4 years.Our so called 4&5 star recruits just got an a_ _ kicking from a bunch of 1&2 star recruits. Maybe CMR is recruiting the wrong players & all the juniors thinking about jumping to the NFL next year need to take a realistic look at there talent level especially those guys on the offensive line because I didn’t see those guys block anyone yesterday.

The question being posed to us all is whether we believe Mark Richt can turn this program around in 2011, because I think everyone knows he will not be given another shot. IMO ‘11 is make-it or break-it for Richt. Given that reality lets examine the state of this program:

Q:
1. How does Richt turn around a team (minimum of 9 wins & New Year’s Day Bowl) with a mediocre OL and a weak and porous DL? The OL and DL are the heart and soul of any successful football team. Does anyone in their right mind believe we will see drastic improvement next year with the personnel we have today and what is projected to come in with this recruiting class?

A:
I don’t have the confidence Searles and Garner can turn a sows ear into a silk pillow with the players we have, nor do I think any freshmen in this class can make a significant impact. If we can land the second coming of Mount Cody from that Miss. JC, that may help. But in the final analysis that’s just not enough.

Q:
2. How does Richt turn around a team that quite frankly does not have the talent we think it does, which is evident by the lack of players selected for 1st All SEC?

A:
Richt can’t, period. Last years class was weak and we haven’t had a verbal for the 2011 class since early August. The facts don’t lie and if you look at our recruiting classes over the last 4 years they just don’t stack up against Alabama, LSU, Florida and last years AU recruits. Garner is the recruiting coordinator and he’s clearly not getting it done. Richt is also to blame for the overall recruiting strategy. The type of players we are recruiting do not represent the type of character we need and their effort on the field is appalling.

Q:
3. How does Grantham make the 3-4 successful with the players he has and the one’s he getting with this new class?

A:
Without a massive nose guard who can take on the Center and Guard, Grantham can’t make his strategy work. We don’t have dominating inside linebackers to plug the running game. Jones and Samuel may bring some new life to the backer corp, but we don’t get enough pressure off the edge to help the extremely weak secondary. In short I no longer think Grantham will be able to turn this defense around enough next year to save Richt’s job.

I admire Mark Richt and think over the course of his career he has done a fine job. He’s given us two SEC championships, which is more than both of our previous coaches. Given the current coaching staff and players, I do not believe Richt can turn this program around. Lou Holtz made a passionate plea last night for Georgia fans to remain confident in Richt. Sorry Lou, but I’ve lost that confidence.

The long term coaching career is gone in college mainly because the chemistry in the coaching staff begins to deteriorate after a few successful seasons. To name a some in the last few years, Meyer at Florida quit not because of his health but he because he lost the original coaching staff. Result two down seasons and would have slipped even farther next year. Carroll at USC was on his way down. Brown at Texas has a top three class every year on his way down. Fulmer at TENN. went down. Now look at Richt very successful his first six or seven years then he lost one of the best defensive coordinator and the best offensive line coaches in the country and has never been the same since. Meyer will resurface when the right chance comes along, Carroll went to the NFL. Brown will probably mess around and be fired, Fulmer waited to long. If Richt had left three years ago he could have had any job in the country. I think after you start losing good assistant coaches at a rapid pace the kids just seem to quit on the head coach. It’s just a shame that people get so much hate in their hearts over a game of football.Fans use to love this coach now they hate him.

Time to give Richt the gold watch. They aren’t bad (even when Goff’s teams under performed, they played like Dawgs), they have quit (with a couple of notable exceptions). Sad. If he doesn’t go now, we’ll be in the same position next year.

Was it just me or did everyone connected with Ga in this game look uninspired or like they really didnt want to be there? While meanwhile UCF, who have never i repeat never won a bowl game in thier history as a school treated it like the national championship!! I mean comon if you accepty a bid to a Bowl Game at least act like it matters!! I have been a Dawg fan for 40 yrs but this last 3 yrs have been embarrassing and shameful we have had quality atheletes just as much as other school’s but there ends the similaritie’s those schools who have won and are winning have one demension we dont seem to have and that is Quality Coaching. we dont have it with this HC or his assistants. Mcgarrity mustt make a decisive decision now or risk our once proud & elite school sliding further inot the sea of mediocrity along with the Vanderbilts, Ole Miss, Kentucky,Tennessee. IT HURTS MY SOUL TO SEE THIS ONCE PROUD TEAM LIKE THIS. Once again Our Georgia team folded in the Fourth Quarter. Unable to produce any feelings of pride or confidence. I for one will withhold my donation next year as i do not wish to suffer through another season of hopelessness depending on this Coaching staff to succeed when they have given no indication that they are capable of doing so.

Thank you so much CMR and staff for absolutely RUINING my New Years and my entire weekend.
Yes, I am that pitiful fan(for over 25 years) that enjoys college football so much that my weekend pretty much runs in line with how the Dawgs play. If we lose and it was a tough fought game where we play hard and almost win, everything is OK and I can enjoy my weekend. I can accept losses.
However,…
That is not what has been happening at UGA since the end of 2007! Heck, some people could argue it started in 2006 with Stafford at the helm.
There is absolutely no evidence, and I mean NO evidence that CMR has the ability to turn this around. If anything, the evidence(3 years worth) all points towards the contrary.
Lou Holtz said last night that “He doesn’t understand what is going wrong with this Georgia football team (in regards to the pitiful loss to UCF). The defensive lineman for UCF were darting thru the line totally unblocked, the interceptions, the missed assignments and missed tackles, this is not a Mark Richt coached football team. I have coached against him at South Carolina and this is not the way I remember his team playing or him coaching. He is a great coach and he will get this thing turned around”. Direct quote, ladies and gents.
My response?
THIS IS A COACH MARK RICHT FOOTBALL TEAM. He is the coach. This kind of crap has been happening for 3 + years, guys. Give him another year to turn it around, I say Heck No! Are you joking?!
He doesn’t know how to turn it around because his product on the field is what he is, what he coaches, what he believes.
The loss to UCF was not on the Defense!!! They held UCF in check, one field goal and a touchdown(and 2 INT’S!!)
This is CMR, and has been for some time!!
Example….2005 against West Virginia
2006 against Tennessee 51 to 33
2006 vs Vandy (In Athens) 24 to 22
2006 at Kentucky 24 to 20
2007 vs SC 16 to 12(no TD’s)
2007 vs Tennessee 35 to 14
2007 vs Troy 44 to 34(34 points against our D, the year we were supposedly cheated out of the SEC East race)
2008 vs Alabama 41 to 30(down in ATL 31 to 0 at the half)
2008 vs Florida 49 to 10(I don’t even have to mention anything here, lose 19 out of the last 22)
2008 vs Ga Tech 45 to 42(up by 18 at the half in OUR HOUSE, OH and something alot of people forget, we had TWO WEEKS TO PREPARE TO PLAY THEM)
2009 vs Tennessee 45 to 19(against a team with NO talent on offense, all they had was Eric Berry!!)
2009 vs Florida 41 to 17 (nice on-side kick call a-hole!)
2009 vs Kentucky 34 to 27 (at home to Kentucky, REALLY!!!)
2010 vs S Carolina 17 to 6(against a clearly Overrated team, we muster 2 field goals)
2010 vs Miss State 24 to 12(umm, is you knew how bad there Offense was after watching them live, this was a Back Breaker for me personally)
2010 vs Colorado 29 to 27 (worst coach game by CMR and Bobo I have ever seen)
2010 To top it off, against UCF in Memphis. No offensive TD’s.
CMR, you are not going to fix the problems. You ARE the problem. Thank you for 2002 and 2005, but it is time for you to move on. Your “coaching” does not work. Your management does not work.
You hired Jancek.
You promoted Willie from DB coach to D coordiantor.
You gave up play calling to promote Bobo to O Coordinator from QB coach.
You promoted Mcclendon from RB coach to assistant head coach.
These were ALL your decisions, you made them, and the results are on the field for us the last 4 years. They did not work out, and you can’t take them back.
Time to pay the piper, sir, time for you to go.

Richt did most of his winning with players he inherited from Donnan. He has recruited some real star athletes, but has failed miserably to recruit the mix of players needed for a good team. After 10 years, the current edition of the Bulldogs is the worst I’ve seen since 1963 under Johnny Griffith. He should resign now and save face. Something is wrong here. He seems to have lost interest in the job. UGA gave him the chance of a lifetime and he has blown it. Leave now Richt and let Mcgarity get on with finding a new head coach.

Chris Peterson of Boise State has coached up a bunch of student athletes with much less talent than Georgia. He holds his players accountable and makes them attend class. He has only lost 5 games in 5 years, granted he doesn’t play in a tough conference, but the guy can coach. With Mark Richt, players are arrested consistently; acedemic problems; he is out recruited by Bama, LSU, Florda, Tennessee, Auburn and then entire SEC. We have no coaching whatsoever. Our offensive line sucks as do our running backs. Our defense gives up a lot of works with extremely poor tackling. We have a backup quarterback who returns ( I mean fair catches) our punts. Our offensive coordinator has no idea how to run the football. He did run the ball yesterday on a 2nd and 25 (brilliant). If you can’;t run the football and play defense, your chance of winning in the SEC is zero. What makes Greg McGarity think things will get better? Time to pull the plug on this experiment.. Inconsistency, discipline and poor coaching are very apparent! I’m sorry Mark Richt, but you must go! I can’t watch another year of these dreadful dawgs!

I thought AJ Green was the answer CMR punted on the 4 games he was out and everyone (ESPN included) kept saying the reason we lost was because he was out… well he was in the game and we lost it and it was ugly. CMR and his coaches cost us 4 games at the start. We have other good WRs one being Chris Durham who was not used enough during the entire season with or without Green. You just have to be able to change your game plan start over if have to but do something it is better than nothing CMR and staff did nothing. What will CMR do when Green goes to the NFL just give up on the whole season like he did on the beginning of this one? Green needs to stay for himself because I will tell you if he goes now he will be a bust in the NFL. Stay and mature get better in your craft and graduate. You will need the degree.

All season, we kept expecting Georgia to step up their game. Losing to Auburn, Miss State, and South Carolina in a rebuilding year is one thing, but Colorado, Florida and now UCF? What happened to the winning attitude we had in the first years of the Richt era? Next year it has to turn around.

UGA has a long way to go to get back to respectability. No team has any fear of playing UGA as they know they can out play them in the 4th quarter. Never thought I would see the day that UGA would be at the bottom of the SEC East just ahead of Vandy, but behind Kentucky. Watching Alabama, Florida and Miss State today is how UGA used to play, though not for a number of years now. No intensity from the players or coaches. CMR has to be held accountable. Maybe all the coaches should be paid for games won. At least the other SEC schools seem to get a lot more for their money.

Never fear. Dr. Adams is here. I can bring UGA back to prosperity by changing from Division I to Division III. We already qualify since we don’t make any money on football anyway.

We will belong to the Great South Athletic Conference and will compete head-to-head against such powerhouses as Agnes Scott and Spellman.

Thanks UGA...

UGA doesn’t even know what it means to “Finish the Drill” anymore. Neither does CMR, who came up with that silly platitude that has inspired noone. They got drilled in a bowl game against UCF, a team they thought was inferior to them simply because of the conference in which they play. The real Bulldogs of the SEC played today and won – the Mississippi State Bulldogs – 52-14 against Michigan

The Gators won

In case you fans of the Thuga county missed it, the Gators just won the Outback Bowl. I knew the Bulldog fans would want to know.

D played good enough to win. O line was terrible. More of the same for 2011. Will get killed in the first game and go downhill from there. 500 season and another loss in a bottom tier bowl for two losing seasons in a row. UGA is just bad right now. The “top” recruiting classes have not done very much in Athens. Going to get worse before it gets better. CMR and others being paid way too much money for the results of the last three years.

Music City Dawg has it right- GRAB/ Borrow / or Steal Gruden as fast as you can . He’s a no nonsense coach with a fire in his belly who expects his players to be likewise. If his players execute and have pride they play, if not no matter who they are they sit. Remember how he stood up to Al Davis .

I’ve watched UGA football since Tarkenton was QB. This game should have been telecast in black and white since it was about that colorful. Even the total points scored were consistent with the 1950’s. In a half century, though, I’ve never seen UGA team members mourning on the sidelines while a win was still within grasp. An A.D. gone in disgrace and enough player arrests to fill a county jail. Examples like that don’t get set unless you have a deeply ingrained sense of entitlement, and that’s a hard attitude to break.

McGarity…Based on your comments you sir are an idiot. Watching real coaches COACH today makes me even angrier that we will have to put up with the same old aw shucks we tried hard and we are gonna fix this BS. Know how Alabama fixed things they hired Saban. Know how FL fixed things they hired Meyer and now Muschamp. Know how Miss St is in the process of fixing things they hired Mullen. YOU (Mr. McGarity) on the other hand sit around and say the boys sure put out alot effort and YOU are SATISFIED with that. CMR says that NO personell changes are forthcoming and YOU are SATISFIED with that. Mike Bobo against Charlie Weis who wins? Bobo against Mullen who wins? Bobo against Malzahn who wins?) Bobo against Saban who wins? Bobo against Spurrier who wins? Bobo against Peterson who wins? Bobo against Patterson who wins? Do you see the trend? And we are going to have to go into next year with the same expectations as being out schemed and outcoached on a weekly basis. I for one Mr. McGarity will not. I will not make anymore contributions to the Hartman Fund. I will never financially support my University (yes for all you haters I did go to GA) in any manner whatsover until changes are made with our football program. I am ashamed of my school for the first time in my life. I sir am DONE.

Regardless of CMR’s status next year, things will get worse before they get better. Recruiting quality, wins, and fan respect will decline for a few years more until the program works through this mess. This happens at all schools eventually, and now it’s happening to us and CMR. The only real question is when will the administration make the hard decisions. You know, kinda like dealing with the Federal deficit.

I tutored several players who went on to NFL careers, including former Doak Walker Award winner Cedric Benson at Texas and Kevin Faulk at LSU.

I know this may be obvious to many UGA fans, but to me most of the players physically look like a high school team that doesn’t have a weight program. There’s no way we can run the power sets that we try to run with a lot success having such stiff and weak o-lineman. Having said that, most of the problem is with the scheme that we have. I don’t know if coach Richt influences what Bobo runs or what, but it’s pathetic, with no imagination and unbelievably predictable. Also, I heard David Greene on the radio taking up for coach Richt saying that the recruiting hasn’t been good – well who’s fault is that? Year after year, UGA only seems to only recruit based on how fast kids can run and how high they can jump, that’s only important if you have a heart and play inspired, smart football. When I see players from other schools like some of the one’s on UCF from GA that weren’t even recruited by UGA making big plays, it makes me sick. I do think coach Richt is a good man, but he doesnt have the cojones to be a great coach.

Like many of you, I believe that Richt will not be able to turn it around next year. He implied in his statements last night that he won’t even make any personnel changes. Obviously he can’t see what the fans have seen for the past 4 years. An earlier poster stated, in defense of Richt, that Coach Dooley had some down years too. That is true but the difference is that we knew that the setback was temporary and that the team would very successful in the next season or the one after that.

1964-Dooley’s first year. 6-4. Wins Sun Bowl. First winning season and bowl since Wally Butts era.
1965-Goes 5-5 due to injuries but Dooley gets two signature wins that season: a win over defending
national champions Alabama (coached by Bear Bryant) and a win over Michigan in Ann Arbor.
He also posts a second win over Bobby Dodd at Ga. Tech.
1966-SEC champions. Wins Cotton Bowl. Final ranking: 4th in nation (Dooley’s 3rd season)
1967-Subpar year. Loses to NC State in Liberty Bowl.
1968-SEC Champions. Go 8-0-1 but loses to Arkansas in Sugar Bowl.
1969, 1970-Two straight sub-par seasons. Suffers first lost to Tech in ‘69.
1971-Goes 10-1. Nearly wins SEC but lost to Auburn with that year’s Heisman Trophy winner Pat
Sullivan at quarterback. Beats North Carolina in Gator Bowl.
1972- 7-4.
1973- 7-4-1. Wins over Tennessee in Knoxville, Auburn, and Georgia Tech. Wins Peach Bowl over
Maryland.
1974- 6-6 but upset nationally ranked Florida in Jacksonville.
1975- 9-2 Wins over all three traditional rivals Florida, Auburn, and Ga. Tech (beats Florida on the
Appleby to Washington end-around). Nicknamed the “Junkyard Dogs.”
1976- 10-2 SEC champions. Beats Alabama 21-0 in Athens (I was at that game). Dooley SEC
coach of the year and quarterback Ray Goff SEC player of the year. Loses to eventual
national champion Pittsburgh in Sugar Bowl.
1977- 5-6 Dooley’s only losing season.
1978- 9-1-1 The year of the “wonder Dawgs.” Last minute wins against Kentucky and Ga. Tech.
Almost wins SEC with tie against Auburn.
1979- 6-5
1980, 1981, 1982- 1 National Championship, 3 SEC championships
1983- 9-1-1 Upsets nationally ranked Texas in Cotton Bowl.
1984, 1985 – 7 win seasons. Defeats Clemson in last second field goal (Butler kicks 60 yarder in
‘84). In 1985, upsets #1 ranked Florida in Jacksonville.
1986, 1987 – 7 to 8 win seasons. Wins 1987 Liberty Bowl on last second field goal by John Kasey.
1988 – 9-3 In contention for SEC championship until loss to Auburn. Dooley wins 200th game
against Ga. Tech. Wins Gator Bowl against Michigan State.

During this time Georgia was a team to be feared and reckoned with. Several of his teams overachieved. Even during the down years, Georgia could still pull off some major victories (such as
in 1985 against #1 Florida or 1974, again against a highly ranked and heavily favored Florida).

I can honestly say that I am a very big Bulldog fan;however, I am a little concerned about recruiting. Other than Champ and Boss Bailey, how many south georgia kids have recieved scholarships to play in Athens? Piont is, the Georgia Bulldogs do not recruit south ga. Greg Reed, Gerald Demps, Telvin Smith and our very own Bryan Crum were recruited by Florida Universities (and played–playing). I forgot that Washaun Ealy was recriuted by Georgia but can you really consider ECI a south ga school? Until Georgia gets the top athletes in Georgia they will not win. Atlanta has great football talent—Georgia recruits Atlanta very well. I recon our South Ga boys will continue to sign with Florida and Florida State. What truely is amazing is that BOBO was raised in south ga.

Get rid of names on the jerseys; no one is bigger than the “team”. Get rid of the “hair”, unless you’re a senior who has proven that you deserve it. The first team meeting of 2011 should have taken place at 11:30 this morning so that the Dawgs could watch some big-boy football. I am way past tired of seeing players who could care less about playing for the Red & Black being on the field and sleep walking through a game. This coaching staff has done the less with the most as I have seen in 40+ years of following UGA. We need a TOTAL change of mental preparation, and I don’t see it from anyone on the present coaching staff. As Harry Truman said it so well. “The buck stops here.”

I thought when I watched the Tech/ Airforce game the other night, that i had watched two of the worst teams playing in a bowl game…… that was before I got to see UGA play the Conf. USA power house Central Fla…. the same power house that played SMU…. that’s right SMU, in their conference championship game…… but give SMU credit at least they scored 14 points on the Golden Knights….. My question,that I would like to have answered is what has happened to Football in the state of GEORGIA?….. This state has more home grown talent than any other place in the country with the exception of maybe Fla and TX, yet our two Flagship schools could only produce losing records to showcase…. While both schools have their different issues and reason for why their season went the way they did, I don’t think there is any reason that either one of these schools, with the pool of Athletes and resources that they have to pull from should ever have this happen… there is no reason why either one of these programs should post looseing records….. it is totally unexceptible…… and neither schools or boosters should put up with it……. just look at the state of Alabama… it has two teams that are both top 10 programs…. I just think it is sad to see that with all of the talent that this state has to offer, we have two very POOR programs.

We are talking football right. I am sure Georgia is a great academic school; however, can you imagine living in South Georgia with all those darn Florida fans. Heck we can’t beat Florida on their worst year. I can remember when we TOTALLY DOMINATED FLORIDA. Please tell me what has happened with the Georgia Football program? We got beat by CENTRAL FLORIDA. Alabama would have scored 100 on them.

What is so amazing is the way UCF gets no respect from you Ga fans on this blog. They will finish probably 22rd or 23rd in the final polls with a 11-3 record. Georgia finishes with a 6-7 record, with no wins over any team with a wining record I think. UCF is a much better team than your dawgs- face it. In 10 games UCF would win 8 times.

Your absolutely right. UCF should get a lot of credit. O’Leary had them ready to play. The prospect of being the first team to win a bowl game in UCF history motivated them. I congratulate them. Georgia on the other hand looked liked they sleepwalked through the whole game. UCF wanted the win more than Georgia. Blair Walsh nailed it. Georgia came in with a “entitlement” attitude and any team with that kind of attitude will lose most of the time. I hope that Walsh and his fellow rising seniors will provide better leadership than this years’ crop of seniors did.

Georgia has very good talent – - better than most teams in the country.

Didn’t even go to a game this year. And don’t give me crap about being a fair weather fan. Being a fan does not mean you blindly support every stupid decision your team makes. Blind loyalty is one of the most dangerous, misguided principles in the world. Bulldawg homers and Richt apologists make me want to puke. Call a spade a spade and use your loyalty to do what you can as a fan to blow up this mess and truly rebuild. If you are a true fan, that’s what you do to help your team improve. You don’t spend your well-earned money to go and cheer this crap. You’re just reinforcing bad behavior and unacceptable performance.

True UGA fans should demand better, not make excuses and say, wait until next year”. The University of Georgia deserves better…especially for the money we are paying these clowns. Coaches and players- you are employees of the University and expected to perform to a certain level and behave in a manner becoming of a young man and scholar-athlete. Nobody expects perfection. But the past several years none of you have truly been held accountable. Get arrested- YOU ARE GONE. Don’t go to class- YOU ARE GONE. Don’t put forth effort in a game- YOU ARE GONE. As a coach if you lose total institutional control of your team- YOU ARE GONE. Cut your dreadlocks, stop dancing on the sidelines and acting like a total ghetto thug, and let your playing speak for you. Lou Holtz once said, “Son, act like you’ve been there before”. Shame is, it’s gotten to where you haven’t been there before, because you have all forgotten how to win. Break a sweat, for heaven’s sake!

Until we get aggressive in every aspect of our program we will continue to be losers!!! As much as I like richts christian values he doesn’t show enough passion to relate to the average college player. He lacks any aggression in anything!!!! The players are in place but Richt has got to coaching where he is coaching not to lose instead of coaching to win!!! Richt is not blind he sees the problems just like we do but he is unwilling to shake up his staff!!! When this year started I really thought Grantham could be the spark this team needed but Richt did his best to tone him down!!! We will suffer 1 more season and by then every sec team will have passed us!! Mccarity needs to make a move now or we will be set back at least 3 years!!! Smart would be the 1st call and will be a head coach by next year at this time!!! I also likevthe other top canadates but a future star head coach will be Manny Diaz!!!

Remeber the Black Soxs that threw the World Series for money, That is what it looked like from someone in the bleechers yesterday. It was inexplicable. NOT ONE offensive play made sense. It was like they were trying to lose that game. I talked to several UCF fans after the game at our hotel and they said ours was the worst offensive attack they had seen all year. They even admitted to me their defense had never played that good all year, (but our offensive made them look like a pro team.) It was embarrasing. UCF fans told me that they did not believe they had a prayer, but hoped it would be within four touchdowns. It would seem our team answered their prayers and them some.

In a sane world you would want him as your coach forever – he’s a good coach and a better man – but in our “win at any cost and all of the time” world – I don’t think he ’s going to be at UGA much longer – but then what coach stays anywhere any more before they run him out of town?

Listen Ga fans, you guys are partly to blame. Do you think CMR just got bad this year? He has been on the decline for 3 years now. You never make him responsible for a loss and he only takes credit for the wins.
The guy loves the mirrow and is just plain lazy. Nick Saban would tear him another one if he worked for him. Shame on you fans. You have helped create this horrible situation. The only think dumber than the fans is the recruits.

I don’t know why McGarity didn’t expect a loss to Central Florida in the bowl game. All you have to do is mention the word Florida and the Dawgs shiver uncontrollably. It’s like Buck Fever. They can’t control themselves. All UGA fans and players simply fear anything with the name Florida in it. You are lucky you don’t play Florida International to open next season in place of a washed up Boise State.

Now, if many of those fans were actually alumni who had a clue I might be in trouble, but that’s clearly not the case. I’ll keep beating Tech pretty regular, losing to Florida pretty regular, and we might rally for another winning season or two before I retire.

As supportive as I have been for CMR I was sorry to hear him say that big changes have to be made and that doesn’t include personal changes. If that the way CMR wants it then so be it. He is risking his future with UGA with Bobo being able to become the offensive coordinator it will take to get UGA back to a championship level.
My question is after last years disaster why didn’t Bobo make the changes they are now talking about because I didn’t see any difference in the way Bobo handled the offense this year from last year and you got the same results.
What are the big changes that McGarity is talking about because I don’t think Bobo or CMR will admit their scheme is not working. Don’t even mention that UGA scored over 30 points per game the last 7 games. 90% of that offense was Green and Durham and neither will be here next year. If Bobo stay’s then I will be one of the biggest supporters to replace CMR after next year if UGA doesn’t win at least 10 games.

GA FAN FOREVER!!!!!!, fans have been complaining since sports came into exitence. The more the YANKEE FANS complain about poor performance the more championships they won. Learn from the north sir.

I held my true thoughts about Mr.Richt for many years now. The man is either the dumbest coach in the ncaa or he just despise the people in the State of Ga. Take your pick. Head coaches just don’t do the things he does. Heck, FSU fans complained about his play calling when he was there. I always wonder why a powerhouse like FSU didn’t win more championships back in the day. Heck, they got the best recruits in america back then. Well, now I know why they didn’t win more championships. MR.RICHT!!

What’s worse than this game, and this season, is that we have to wait until 2012 for things to get better . . .

Will those who write “things will be better next season” please explain to me how? I mean, you must be counting on other teams being worse, because with our head coach saying, “no staff changes” we sure aren’t gonna be better.

Mark Richt got outcoached by Colorado’s coach, who was so lousy, he lost 7 in a row after beating UGA, and got fired before the season was over.

Mark Richt, notorious for losing to UF couldn’t beat the worst UF team in what, 2 decades?

Mark Richt has lost 21 games the last 5 years leaving us # 23 in the nation over the last 5 years.

Jim Donnan had a better winning percentage his 5 years here than Mark Richt has his last 5 years.

It has been 53 years, 1957 since Georgia lost 7 games in a one season.

1957.

We cannot recruit.

If you think that by not saying the truth as in this post by me, that the recruits will not find out that we are # 23 over the last 5 years, you are a moron.

Field goal from the 2-yard line and Mark Richt complained after the bowl loss that if the players wanted to get a TD, they should have done it on the previous play. That’s right Mark Richt, complain to the players at the end of this season, as you previously complained about the Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Fans that we don’t know what we are talking about.

We are # 2 in the Fulmer Cup Most Arrested / Suspended football program over the last entire 5 years now and # 23 over the same timeframe in won/lost.

Am I correct that in the past 2 seasons alone 7-9 vs. SEC opponents, 2-6 vs. Top 10 opponents, and 9-9 vs. ranked opponents? Not to mention during his 10-season tenure, 2-8 vs. Florida.

Man, those are statistics that would get just about any other Head Coach fired. So why has UGA tolerated this? Because of the “overall body of work”? Look at those stats beneath the surface mentioned in the first parargraph! If you take away the 2 “patsy” teams we played this year, UGA really only has 4 wins! then throw in the abismal play calling, clock management, and total lack of institutional contral as evidenced by the number of player arrests, and you have a mess that does not under any circumstances merit “one more year to right the ship”.

I truly believe, even as an alum and season ticket holder until last year, this will create a Chilling Effect: recruiting will decline along with donations. And YES- I AM a loyal fan. You so-called loyal fans will blindly follow Mark Richt off a cliff in the name of being a “loyal fan”. Sorry- you do more disservice to the Dawgs than you ealize. Loyal fans call it like they see it, and want better for their team.

Stop throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. No more stopgap measures. Let Richt go along with his entire staff. Blow it up and start new. That gives recruits and fans alike hope. Rebuild a team with character and discipline. Find someone who can do that- Richt has shown an inability to do so, even with his own stated personal values. He is not the right man for the job, and never has been. His glory days at UGA were built off the backs of those who came before him, and those such as VanGorder who Richt wouldn’t even support. It’s a toxic mixture up there in Athens, and we will see more of the same next year. Enough is enough.

This is the second time this season the coaching staff went for a field goal with less than a yard to go, both times it cost them a game. Even if you draw UCF offsides you have a first down!

Over the many years ( 50 ) of being either a fan or a UGA student, UGA has never won big with a throwing QB. Yes, the Eric Stafford, Matt Zeier passing stats or was it Aaron Stafford ……………….. have nice passing stats but what did they ever win for UGA> even Johnny Rauch of the 1950s made great, legnedary strides in passing the ball, then, an innovation but what did he do for UGA?

To win in the SEC, you have to grind the ball. UGA cannot do that. UGA is is deep trouble and McGarity knows that they are. Why give Ricth another year to fail? He needs to go now.

PULL THE PLUG ON THE CMR ERA> 2011 will begin ugly and then, get worse.

Aaron Murray and his gloves ……………………what a joke. He is over rated and he is not a winner.

there’s no accountability for on the fiueld performance when it comes to QB.

Murray should have been benched in the Florida game after the 1st half.

Murray should have been benched in the UCF game after the first half.

Richt rewarded Murray’s sub par team killing performance with more playing time.

Killed morale, sent the wrong message to the team.

Started after g-day, when Richt gave the starting position to Murray, who was outplayed by Mett & Logan all Spring.

Richt might go if he really grasps how badly he is looked upon now. He will just walk. A $$ business agreement could be worked out and he could leave …………….NOW. His coaches can all leave too.

Send Mayflower to his pad. Mark Richt cannot get it done and come September, with another awful loss to Boise, UGA will be at an all time low. The only positive thing to me as a grad is that Greg McGarity IS A UGA MAN and he knows what is going on.

UGA is not a solid team, offensively, defensively or any way shpae or form. So the qyestion has to be WHY is UGA not a solid team. When richt and McGairty talk this week, I look for Mark Richt to resign or be fired.

Hey Dog Haters ………………ESPN displayed this graphic last night on TV so read and weep:

Our offense needs to be updated we run everything off play action and can’t run the ball ? He has got to go. What will it take ? You would think with the turmoil at FLA and Tenn. this would be our time instead we are behind both those teams . Gary Patterson needs to be in Athens today.

I was very disappointed in our coaching staff’s performance during the Liberty Bowl. Richt making the decision to kick a field goal after the long drive was an insult to the team and may have caused the let down by the entire team when the head coach does not have enough confidence to go for the first down and touchdown. Bobo’s play calling was terrible. He should have established the running game and taken pressure off of Murray as Murray was running for his life or being hurried in his passes as the Defensive Coordinator for UCF clearly out thought Bobo at every turn. They had an answer for every play and offensive set UGA ran. the UGA defense played a good game but again poor tackling was evident. I saw Alabama’s defense almost take everyone of the MSU ball carriers heads off with hard but clean tackles during their game with MSU , what is different between UGA’s and UA 3-4 defense? They tackle and knock the opposing runners back with their tackles, UGA for the most part are still tackling and the tackler is hanging on been dragged a yard or two further by the ball carriers. UA defense plays downhill, the UGA defense appears to be playing uphill, but you cannot blame the UGA defense on this loss, it must clearly be blamed on Richt, Bobo, and the entire offensive unit starting with the offensive line and a hurried Murray who after the first quarter play seemed to be out of sync with his timing and not having the time to set up and locate his receivers because of the aggressive pass rush of UCF. They clearly were better prepared to stop UGA’s offense stone cold after the first quarter and the bad decision to go for the field goal. What was Richt thinking?

Yeah, I was surprised that the defense played so well. I am not shocked that UGA lost this game at all. I watched UCF play SMU for their conference title game. They beat up on SMU pretty good, and they had some speedy guys on offense. Their defense did very well in that game as well. I knew that they would cause UGA some problems and I was right. This is unacceptable in all shapes and forms. UGA has too much talent in this state to play this poorly. All of our blue chip guys from Georgia don’t even want to play for UGA. They rather “take their talents” to Auburn, Bama, and Florida. Do you guys see what’s wrong with that picture? The good players in this state has lost respect for Georgia. We are emotion/spineless.

Did any of you guys watch how much raw emotion TCU showed in their Rose Bowl win? I almost chitted bricks when they announced TCU only had 9,000 students. Look at that Tank kid they have at linebacker. He was all over every play. He reminded me of David Pollack the way he showed passion for the game. We need a defense full of kids like him and we will run people @sses off the field.

How in the He#* can a program drop this much this quick???? It starts with leadership ( or in this case the lack of) in the UGA athletic dept. The new AD has one mess on his hands. The only way to right this sinking ship is to do the things we all know he is not going to do. Instead of a new coaching regime from top to bottom, he is more concerned with trying to make easier schedules. Instead of making sure we recruit players with talent and respectability, we go after players other schools decided to pass on,no matter their background. You get my drift. Unless monumental changes are made in the next few weeks to address this.( i.e. coaching staff changes). Well…Boise St. 35 UGA 7 will be in the immediate future.

I have to agree with many of the comments, i have been a strong supporter of Coach Richt and respect him very much, that won’t change, but i lost alot of my support for him when you are 4th and inches, inches on the 2 yard line, your team is 6-6 and you take a chip shot field goal…i mean give me a break, worst that can happen is that you give the other team the ball backed up to their endzone and anything could happen from there…and don’t blame Bobo for that call, that was all on Coach Richt…He basically showed no confidence in the team, so what message does that send…I heard his comments about making it on 3rd and 1 as he told the team, but that just doesn’t fly…bottomline is he played like a Coach that is scared to take a chance in fear of failure…thats not how you play this game…

You Dawg fans who keep repeating Tech scores like a mantra enjoy yourselves all you want. The thing is… Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons. College sports are fun to follow, but the biggest reason for going to college is to get an education.

UGA fans don’t seem to care about anything but football, and they don’t care if their players are enrolled in silly majors that no parents who are paying the bills would send their kids to UGA for. The very few football and basketball players who graduate have no job opportunities and end up unemployed or working in menial jobs that hardly require a college degree.

Georgia Tech is a real school with serious academic standards, and that includes scholarshipped athletes. UGA has a long history of being a party school, where parents send their kids for an easy degree, even if the degree itself is practically worthless.

Jan Kemp exposed the crap going on at UGA with athletes being enrolled in courses a ten-year-old kid could pass. That was almost three decades ago, and nothing has changed. If anything, the abuses are more blatant today. Way too many illiterate morons are being recruited, and the very high arrest rate shows clearly that Richt does not care if his players have any morals or self-discipline.

The bottom line is that most Tech fans have very good jobs and productive lives that don’t depend on Tech’s football record for their happiness in life. It would be great to beat UGA more often, but when you put scholar-athletes up against dummy-athletes, it’s usually no contest.

It’s pretty pathetic to see UGA fans who typically have never been within miles of a college classroom and who live or die with UGA’s weekly results on the football field. By the way, seeing UGA fans gathered in a stadium is the best advertisement against incest that I’ve ever seen.

So keep on posting Tech scores all you want, especially since you’re home with plenty of time on your hands. I wish you well, maybe you’ll get lucky and get your old job back at the Waffle House before your unemployment checks stop coming.

Rincon Dawg,

You hit on a very sore point- recruiting. If you were Isiah Crowell and 1 or 2 other very high profile recruits like DE Dickson or cb Damion Swann that we are going head to head with Bama over what are they thinking?

I watched Bama absolutely destroy Big 10 co champ Mich State and after watching our dismal performance against Central freaking Florida I find myself asking this ?. Why in the hell would a recruit pick us over Bammer? Seriously? Why? They had an off year and still set and sec record by winning 36 games in 3 years.

I looked it up and in 4 years they’ve lost 2 games by 14 pts, 1 by 11, and the few other games they lost under Saban were by 7 pts or less. Meanwhile in the last 4 years we get routinely blown out by huge margins by AU this year, Florida every year, UT twice, we’ve lost a series of other embarrassing games to the likes of UK and Vandy and now this losing to UCF in a bowl game of all things. Great programs do not get routinely blown out and just give up like the way we have in game after game over the last few years. Great programs have enough pride to not get blown out repeatedly.

The Bammer’s currently have the no. 2 rated recruiting class after several no.1 classes, they have something like only 8 seniors this year so everyone knows they will be loaded for another championship run next year. And us? While they have momentum we have momentum in the downward trajectory- our current class sucks and everyone knows that more than likely Richt will lose his job barring a miracle run in the 2011 season. So why would a recruit sign with him? Why?

After this loss does anyone on here really have any faith in Richt winning 10 games next year?

And in order to secure a bright future by getting Crowell and others can anyone on here please explain to me how and why Crowell would choose UGA and Richt over the Bammer’s after the 2 bowl showings this weekend by Richt and Bammer?

Where’s your promised Sunday thoughts on the dreadful Liberty Bowl and season performance? I hope you’re writing a blog about receiving inside information that CMR will resign/be fired later this week.

Lou, I’ve been watching UGa pretty closely the last several yrs, and this year’s team certainly looks like a CMR team to me. On another note, I left open the possibility that LeMay might not end up at UGa, given the fact that he would watch Murray for 3 yrs. After Murray’s most recent performance, it might be the other way around.

To: Fed Up with It, I agree. It is a no-brainer for these kids. We would love to showcase the skills of the athletes you mentioned in Bryant-Denny and across the nation on national TV. We hope they will choose to come to T-town, but wish them the best either way.

I am afraid that UGA has no choice, either. The decision has been cast, the time frame is all that must be decided. CMR has lost this program and his support. When a coach loses the ability to CHANGE the program, a coaching CHANGE is the only option! As a Bama season ticket holder for 23 years and a supporter of Mike Shula for 3.5 years, I came to realize that as much as we wanted him to be successful, he could not make it happen. I think the UGA family has experienced that ah-ha moment, too. Bama was much better for the change and UGA will be better the sooner that occurrs there. CMR is a good and godly man, but UGA needs a football coach to get things going again.

Roll Tide!

In all my travels I have not found one graduate that works at a Huddle House or Waffle House.

They are a ranked team and we can’t seem to beat a ranked team, this is supposed to be a game to see what a month of practice and rest gives you for 2011. We will be lucky to win 5 games next year and then Richt gets fired. Why not make a change now while there is several good ones waiting for the job. Smart would compliment Grantham and they could build the junkyard D back and start winning with D again.

Well mcgarity already said cmr will be back yesterday but the way cmr looked was just finished. Maybe we will get lucky and he will quit. Recruiting will suffer because of that game and a change should be made while we still have a weak schedule but that’s not gonna happen so here’s to three more bad years.

O’Leary still owns the Doggies! Only question remaining is how much will AJ get for this year’s jersey? Face it, you suck, and oh yeah, Tech sucks too if it makes it any better doggie fans. See you next year punks…BuzztheKiller is out!

“You Dawg fans who keep repeating Tech scores like a mantra enjoy yourselves all you want. The thing is… Tech alumni and fans have lives that don’t depend entirely on what a bunch of kids does on Saturday afternoons.”

But some of them have lives that compel them to post the same thing over and over and over on their rival’s blogs…geez, PUH-LEASE get some new material. And thanks for caring.

I’m guessing you are about 80 years old and just mastered that “cut and paste” thing. Congrats. Now go change your Depends.

Maybe we can talk Urban Meyer into comming to UGA. I know he is a good coach he just can’t handle the stress there is no stress at UGA . If we can somehow nake it to the Music City Bowl next year everyone in Athens will be happy. Those BCS bowls are to far away.We went from Shreveport to Memphis maybe we can get to Nashville next year.Keep your fingers crossed.

I agree with bob that it showed a lack of confidence in your offensive players, not to go for the Touchdown on fourth and one! Of course the difference in the game was 4 points which of course was the difference in a touchdown and a field goal and a loss.

“I get it”. Do you McGarity? You must not because Richt for starters:
1. Richt can’t beat Florida whoever their coach is and however bad Florida is. Most fans wanted this to change before Richt took the job. He’s not in the same league with very good and certainly not great coaches.
2. Finesse coaches like Richt are not suited for the SEC now with Saban, Miles, Mullen and formerly Meyer.
3. It appears to some observers that Richt is doing it for the $2.8 mil and is trying to hold on to the job to get as wealthy as he can before he’s forced out. Since he’s become so clueless its not that he thinks a light is going to go off, and he’s going to suddenly start beating better coaches. Richt’s can’t even stop his own down spiral.

Fed up with it.

Some guys get it. The effect of keeping Richt is that it could be devastating to recruiting.

As I said before why would Isiah Crowell or any other huge recruits choose Georgia and a coach whose job is going to be in limbo for the next year over a program like what Satan has rolling in Bammer. And after watching us not even be able to beat little ole UCF what are recruits supposed to think?

We’ll see how recruiting goes but if Richt can’t keep the top shelf talent instate then it just means that yet another leak just sprang in an already sinking shp.

Richt lost this program a long time ago.
