Another black day in Jax reveals UGA as second-rate

Jacksonville — The game was a total loss, but the lesson imparted need not be. After yet another lost Saturday in Duval County, this much is beyond dispute: Georgia is no longer a major player in its division, let alone the nation.

Mark Richt began his somber media briefing by saying, “Well, here we are again.” And there they were, lopsided losers. It was 49-10 last season and 41-17 this time, and for all the good work Richt did in the early part of this decade, he and his program have been lapped by Urban Meyer. And Richt, once so clever and driven, seems to have run out of ideas.

He tried the color-scheme gimmick Saturday, presenting his players with black helmets after they’d warmed up in the usual red headgear. The upshot of this was to make Georgia look like an Arena league team and to cow the nation’s No. 1 team not one whit. After 11 1/2 minutes, the guys in the orange hats led the guys in the black hats 14-0.

“It’s not the helmet,” safety Reshad Jones said. “It’s what inside the helmet.”

Well, yes. With an extra week to prepare, Willie Martinez seemed even more witless than usual. As bad as the Gators’ first two touchdowns were, the third was an affront to everything Red and Black. Facing third-and-3 at the Georgia 23 with 1:32 left in the half, Florida ran a simple option. Tim Tebow faked a handoff and burst up the middle. He scored the touchdown that put him ahead of the hallowed Herschel Walker without being touched.

“They’re a good team,” said defensive end Justin Houston. “But it seemed like every time we made a bad play, they capitalized on it.”

In the first half Georgia had eight penalties. In the second it had four interceptions. If it was to have any chance against the Gators, it had to play a clean game. Instead it authored another in a series of messes.

If we’re to believe recruiting rankings, the gulf between Georgia and Florida shouldn’t be so pronounced. But Saturday was another installment of men against boys, and it called to mind the barb Steve Spurrier sunk into Ray Goff in this stadium 18 years ago: “Georgia gets all these players — I don’t know what happens to them.”

Players go to Florida and get, to invoke another Spurrier-ism, coached up. Players come to Georgia and are left to their own devices. Martinez is a substandard defensive coordinator, and no other position coach can be said to have done fabulous work. (Unless you count Kevin Butler, who isn’t a coach but who did sire the prodigious punter Drew Butler.)

Said Richt: “We’re 4-4 this season. I don’t think it’s an indictment of the program. I think it’s an indictment of where we are this year.”

Except Georgia has underachieved three times in the past four seasons, and as Richt himself noted Saturday: “There’s no guarantee of a bowl. The question is, will we play a game when we don’t do something that hinders us from being the best we can be?”

The Bulldogs have never lost more than four games under Richt, but they’ve never been 4-4 under this coach, either. Regarding possible changes, he said: “It’s not good to make decisions within minutes of an emotional game. You’ve got to settle your mind and settle your spirit, and then see where you are.”

As darkness fell on Halloween 2009, Georgia was again where it has been too often. The program that has all the resources was left to wonder why it has fallen so far behind Florida. And the ugly truth has never been more apparent: Florida might or might not have better players, but it absolutely has better coaches.

Tope ten recruits every year and we are going backwards. Offense line stinks. A senior QB that is just simply not a division one QB Defense is so bad I don’t know where to stat. Special teams that if we didn’t have All America kickers would be even worse. The penalties are staggering. Time for Richt to clean house emtirely. If he isn’t willing to do so than it is time for him to go. Cutcliff gets more done at Duke with division 2 type talent than we do with top ten recruits. Kelly has Cincinnati in the top five with middle of the line recruits. No passion or fire from the team. Something smells bad with this program and it isn’t the St. Johns river next to the stadium.

Willie Martinez needs to fall on his sword and resign at the end of the season. Richt doesn’t need to hire from within and a hire a good defensive coordinator from a good program like Dick Bumpas from TCU. We need to get solid players and not the flashy players and coach them up. CMR is still a good coach and the offense isn’t as bad as one would think. We need a real SEC caliber QB. Our offensive line is only C+ as well.

The bottom line is that we are a second tier program until we improve the defense. In the 9 years that Richt has coached this game he has had the better team 5 times and is 2 and 3. In all three losses, we were in the game because the defense kept us in it. So, improve the defense, and you improve the program

The defense is the difference. Mark Richt’s run was sparked on the shoulders of a defense that was rock solid. It was the biggest difference between Richt and Donnan. You cant be an elite program without an elite defense. UGA had that until last year. Offensively, UGA is doing OK for a team that lost as much as they did going into this year.

Blame Richt if he does nothing about it, but right now, Martinez is where the blame lies. The UGA defense has been horrible the last two years and has no real excuses for it.

UGA claims to be a football power yet accepts mediocre performances like this. If you expect to play year in and year out with the big boys like Bama and Florida you need a coach who will not accept garbage play like this. Richt seems fine with it.

Does he actually show any emotions? Is he on anti-depressants? He has the same emotion at a big game like this as he does on his Ford commercial. LOL!!

Somehow I get the feeling Florida may have held back a little the past three games, just to make Georgia look a little embarrassed today when they impressed the nation. Seemed to work, too. No matter how you slice it, Florida is a superior team. Not just in the SEC, but the nation… and they proved it today. This will be a springboard to an outstanding completion to the season, but throughout their title-winning national championship game in Pasadena. Then Tim Tebow will, no doubt, become an icon, an idol, perhaps the next Billy Graham… on steriods. That can’t be all bad. This country may need him someday. Heck, he might even be president within 11-12 years (in fact, as young as he was a stud in college football, I’d say he could be USpres in the next election or two… if he wants to). I’d probably vote for him, as I’ve learned to like they guy. He was first class in his closing comments about Georgia, too.

I wasn’t impressed with the Gators the last 3 games they played, no…but I was in this one. Congrats, Gator Fans. You deserve to crow! Now go win it all for the SEC.

Over 49 points scored against us again … close to 100 yards in penalities … four interceptions in a half … D playing so far off receivers they were lonely … not bowl eligible … 4 and 4 and a coach that won’t admit he has serious, serious problems. Georgia has been left behind. Georgia is the most “outcoached” team in America. Willie’s weak D couldn’t even stop a simple option play that allowed Tebow to break HW’s record. I’m totally disgusted with Willie and BooBoo and I’m becoming disenchanted with CMR and his inability to field a competitive Georgia team. Are we suppose to be one of the top athletic teams in America? Where is Damon and Michael? How bout a conference and a review of the state of the Georgia Football program?
Why don’t someone do something significant? Let’s play all our promising freshmen and sophomores and forget about the toilet bowl we’ll end up somewhere in Mississippi or Montana. Let’s build for next year. Joe don’t have it … Joe never had it … Joe ain’t no good and why put Logan Gray into the game in a no-win situation to set him up to fail? Why don’t the AJC put CMR, Damon and Michael on the hot seat and force them to admit that Georgia has major problems in the football program. I can tell you now that CMR will not make any changes and we’ll go into next year with the same coaches and the same old same old.
Losing stinks but how we’re losing makes me sick.

I don’t expect to win every time against FL like we did in the 80’s. I do expect to be competitive, 2-7, 49-10 and 41-17 is not competitive. Fact is it is time to get better or continue to get beat. CMR has done a good job but over the last few years he has stepped back from day to day coaching and depended on the coordinators. Unfortunately I have to admit that our coordinators are weak. Our talent is good but we can’t get it done. Penalties, lack of big plays just flat letdowns. I think the turning point for me was the FL TD right before the half. Come on Willie what play did you expect? They did exactly what they do every time in that situation and we were caught completely with our pants done. Are we just asleep? This year we have played SEC games against SC, AR, LSU, Vandy and FL. In every case with the exception of LSU we have surrendered the most SEC points scored by our opponent. This is not new we have struggled defensively every year of Willies tenure with the exception of the last half of 2007. It is time for a change. On offense, we seem to be better but we just can’t hold on to the ball and we just seem so predictable. It is time for a change or we just have to accept second tier status.

Isn’t it interesting that our offensive and defensive coordinators coach our biggest liabilities on the field – QB and DB’s. Former QB’s as HC and OC is a problem, DC in over his head is a problem, Special teams coach who appears to be clueless is a problem. Unfortunately we appear to be a team in total disarray – no leaders on the field and confused and clueless coaches on the field and in the boxes. Appears we are not doing a good job either assessing or recruiting talent. Maybe we should go after 1 – 3 star players instead of 4 -5 star players. At least those kids will be hungry and motivated to prove themselves. Any way you look at we’re screwed. If you fire the CMR and staff, we lose recruits and have to start over again – more down seasons. Best move is to unload DC and OC and staff, but good luck finding the guys who will turn it around. Bad schemes make good players look bad. Areas that need immediate turn around if we have any chance to salvage the season – Offensive line (don’t appear to know how to block), linebackers (do we have any linebackers on the field other than Curran), d-backs (way to much cushion), QB (play the freshman and move Gray to receiver), fundamentals – LEARN HOW TO TACKLE and coaches LEARN HOW TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.

I am a graduate of UGA, and someone who has worked their whole lives in sports. I have never seen a more Cain’s Mutiny approach to coaching as I have at Georgia. Mark Richt has completely lost control of the program. I can see no reason to keep him now, after his blinded view of the offensive coordinator and the totally overmatched defensive coordinator, not to mention the assistants who are supposed to make these player block, tackle, pass, and catch.
I have given generously to the University over the years, not for tickets, but for pride. I now will not give another dime, not to penalize academics, but to see if Michael Adams, who so wanted to put his nose in Athletics, will now have the guts to do so again. I know the game plan of Damian Evans, and his cheap hentchmen in the non-money sports, and I can certainly see how he is unable to lead a major college university athletic program.

Mark,

It is time for Mark Richt to be fired because he continues to put his personal relationship with his best friend and he rest of his horrible assistants ahead of what best for OUR team.

He has lost the moral authority to coach our football team.

Fire Mark Richt at the end of the season, let him go coach FSU.

And hire either Kyle Whittingham or Brian Kelly to become OUR Urban Meyer.

And if you don’t know how hard that was for me to write, you don’t know me.

You take somebody who’s been in trouble with the law and say they has to go to anger management classes, then you recruit ‘em and put ‘em on the football field and all the anger is gone and it’s just meanness and that causes penalties. Coach was always about that when some of the guys was stealing hub caps and they’d lose playing time.

Mark, agreed on your 9:01. Will Richt make the necessary changes? CAN he make the necessary changes?

This feels like 2006, except that year you had a true freshman QB for most of the year, so some struggles were to be expected. This year I’m not sure what we have to build on going forward.

I think change in the off-season is needed. And if that means we lose some recruits so be it. Why ANY defensive recruit would hinge is college decision on Willie Martinez being there is perplexing. Don’t they want to improve in college?

Good work Mark, and as always, be well.

No doubt this is a bad yr by Ga. standards…but do think that it is possible to fix these problems.
We need to salvage what we can of this season and built for next yr and keep recruiting hard.

Have to change our defensive philosophy and challenge every play. Coaches must coach harder than they have ever coached—better defense…

Richt and Bobo have to coach up Joe Cox or Logan Gray…At this point don’t know that I would risk playing Murray or Mettenberger when they could red-shirt….If we play Murray or Mettenberger now–we only have them for last 4 games and thus lose a whole yr of eligibility. Better QB play is a must.

Running game and O-Line looked better today….let’s continue to improve….Searles may have a better combination now at O-Line with today’s progress

Richt—you have to stop the penalties and turnovers….

Fla game is much more respectable without the dumb penalties and turnovers

I have always defended coach Richt. But I have to tell you, I sense a real lack of focus, discipline,
energy, and enthusiasm from him. It really started in 2006-2007. Then he appeared to get his fire back.
But this year, it’s like his mind is somewhere else. I sense there is something that is distracting him.
It has been compounded by mediocre assistant coaches(not all) and the loss of exceptional skill talent
this year.

Here would be my coaching changes, at least titles of those who I feel need to be changed. First and foremost, defensive coordinator. Willie Martinez shows the Peter Principle once again (you are promoted to your greatest level of incompetency). The next is the offensive/defensive line coach. We are so undisciplined that it’s not even funny. Finally, we need a different secondary coach. Our play has been decent this year, but we don’t have that killer attitude that the Safeties and Corners need to have in the SEC. If Richt doesn’t watch it, it’ll be his head on the block next year. One bad season is excusable. Another one is dismissible.

J Clay

I know the D stink and agree Willie needs to go…but as bad as the D was…Joe Cox was much worse – we were in the game with 1 minute to go in the 3rd quarter seemingly headed for a score to make it 31-24 and Cox throws one of the worst picks I have ever seen (the 2nd of the 4)…Probably would not have mattered anyway….As bad as the D is – we were in the game….Florida though proved what all have said above – better coaching, more consistent players, and they want it more…

I still believe in Richt – BUT will no longer support him if he does not make wholesale changes in the off-season…By the way, if Willie is his best friend shouldn’t he resign so Richt does not have to fire him?

Not sure what Def Coordinator talent is out there on the bench right now, but if we look and there is some top tier talent I say we need to go for it now. Don’t wait for the end of the season when lot’s of teams will be looking. As far as Bobo, it’s hard to blame an offensive squad that lost Stafford & Marino for performing at a lower level this season. Richt is in charge and it’s his job to make the hard but necessary decisions and fire a coach who’s probably also his friend. If players don’t perform they don’t play, has to be the same for coaches.

Everyone should relax. These are 18-22 year old kids that are going to college to get an education. They just happen to play an extracurricular sport called football. Coach Richt is a “father” figure to most of these kids. As an excellent role model, he’s led numerous players to Christ and held them accountable for their actions off the field. Personally, Coach Richt can stay as long as he wants even if he goes .500 each year.

Mark Richt,

I fully believe you are a dear, sweet and wonderful saint of a man, and I wish you nothing but the best. However, it has become painfully clear that you and your coaching staff are simply outmatched. It isn’t about this year, or last year, it’s just the cold, hard reality of what the program looks like moving forward. The uniform switches have become embarrassing. You have a sputtering offense, a porous defense and a complete lack of discipline, and it does nothing but make you look clueless and desperate when the best you have is to hope and pray that some new threads inspire your players to play to a level far beyond what you’re actually coaching them to. As each week passes we all become more and more convinced that your days in Athens are numbered, and for that, I am truly sorry.

And did anyone else catch the announcers comment about Richt’s penalty comment? They led the ACC in penalties every year and it didn’t hurt them? Seriously? Fl St. was the ONLY school in the ACC then that had talent. Of course the penalties didn’t hurt back then, their opposition was horrible! Ga doesn’t have that luxury,and cannot hope to win against anyone currently in the conference outside of Vandy if we commit 10 penalties a game. We have to have a sea change in the direction of the program. Mark has got to get it under control, or we’ll be courting the coach from Cincinnati.

hmmm, been watching georgia football since 1976. What strikes me the most is the lack of physical play, the penalties, all the stuff that is not a hallmark of junkyard dog football. The one thing Georgia could ALWAYS hang its hat on was a strong running game and defense, no matter WHO coached them. Thats just Georgia football, anything else was a plus. I predicted 6 wins BEFORE the season started for the simple reason: weak coaching AND the lost of stafford and moreno = what you are seeing on the field. The FIRST move to correct this disaster is obvious: martinez GOT to go. A back to basics defensive coordinator who likes hard, physical play is a start. Second move, is it the playcalling or players on offense? Its both. The move here is to get this offensive line back together and recruit another runningback to replace knowshown. Move bobo away from the playcalling and let richt take it back over. The ONE thing i agree with richt about is that offensive line. You cannot run the ball with a patchwork offensive line in the SEC. Just aint happening.

It is time for him to go… Bring us Will Muschamp as head coach and make kirby smart the DC. then get us a OC from the west coast.. I have bee a bulldawg fan sese the age of six(1980)…And I cant remember any more disappointing time than now.. We have top notch talent with B-llsh-t coaching… Sorta like have a Bently, and let a shade tree mechanic service it. The coaches have lost this team! How can the same players continue to make the same mistakes and see playing time??? How can we continue to have stupid penatliesevery game. Did anyone else notice, when we were down 14-0 and they showed the defensive player sitting on the bench… Where were the coaches????

Richt needs to quietly be thinking about candidates for new defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator too.
Defense is just substandard and need someone who can really develop OBs….He needs to do this quietly and then interview when seasons are over and get us the very best. Texas has been know to hire away top talent….They hired Will Muschamp from Auburn….Open up the pocketbook and get the best to UGA. Damon Evans—open up the pocketbook

You can’t win in the SEC without a very stout defensive unit…has to be in the top 10 in the country and QB has to be a top 15 QB in the country………….Those 2 things are a must…………..Then after that you can’t beat yourself with penalties or turnovers. Coach Jimmy Johnson used to tell the Cowboys that out of the 3 phases of the game–defense, offense, and special teams that you have to win 2 out of 3 to win the game….He is right.

The things that have made Richt successful now cut both ways. He is loyal to a fault with his assistants. This is great when your assistants include BVG and miserable when they include Bobo and Martinez. He is not going to fire them and they are not going to leave (honestly, who would want them?). The other thing Richt does is give his QB’s their senior year if they have ridden the bench the previous three. This has helped Richt keep some high quality QBs like Shockley, but has burned us with the Joe’s (III and Cox). In the final analysis, the whole conference knows Richt’s schtick and his whole bag of tricks. His program is yesterday’s news, and now we are losing the nuclear race of the SEC big time. Richt is comfortable sitting at #2 in the SEC East every year, but now those days are over. It would be best for Richt and UGA to amicably part ways. The appropriate conversation for fans now is who the next coach should be, what it would cost to buy Richt out, etc etc. It won’t happen this year, but it is a certainty – this will end badly because it will take this program 5 years at this point to even get back to being second best in the SEC. So put Richt behind us – who is looking good now (Gruden, Cowher, Cutcliffe, someone else)? What could we could get them for, what can we pay Richt to leave?

A Return to Tradition?

Dear Coach Richt:

When you took over our beloved UGA football program in 2001, you told us at the Bulldog Club meeting in Augusta that summer that Georgia would be returning to tradition. For example, you removed the black stripe from our helmets…a return to tradition. Our defense under Brian Van Gorder became hard hitting and fearsome again…like Junkyard Dawgs…a return to tradition. We beat Tennessee in Knoxville for the first time in ages…a return to tradition.

Move forward to the following season, 2002. We finished 13-1, won the SEC Championship and who will ever forget the 51-7 thrashing of Georgia Tech? We were man enough to beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa…a return to tradition. It was a memorable season, because for all of us diehard, long-term Georgia fans, it was a Championship…a return to tradition.

2003 and 2004 were somewhat disappointing, but we won 10 games each of those years and played in New Year’s Day bowl games…a return to tradition. We won again in Knoxville in 2003 and finally beat Florida in 2004…seemed like a return to tradition.

Enter 2005, a year of not much from expectations with a new quarterback. However, the team surprised, played well and we won another SEC Championship with a return trip to the Sugar Bowl. It was yet again a return to tradition. However, something happened in the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta. The Junkyard Dawg defense disappeared. Relatively unknown West Virginia humbled our defense, made them look silly, and we saw an unfortunate forbearing of the future, lack of heart, lack of adjustments and a lack of discipline.

The year 2006 was known to be a rebuilding year, new quarterback, a lot of questions. While disappointing, we as fans were understanding, despite the 51 points scored by Tennessee in our own house. Every team has an occasional down year, but we knew we’d be back. The new quarterback showed flashes of hope and promise of what was to come in the near future.

Enter 2007. A seasoned quarterback and a new star at running back. Who knew Knowshon was that good? Then came the inexplicable loss to South Carolina, to our dreaded nemesis Spurrier, and we wondered what went wrong. Then came the nightmare in Knoxville, and for the first time, we saw a Georgia team quit. But they rebounded. Another win vs. Florida, the celebration that ensued. It was a return to tradition. Then came the blackout against Auburn, which was a departure from tradition with the new jerseys, but the huge win was all that mattered. The program had energy, and we finished that year with a strong showing in the Sugar Bowl, a final ranking of #2, and the experts were talking national championships for Georgia in the near future. It was the return to tradition that we were all hoping for.

Then there was the season of expectations. We entered #1 in the country, the return to tradition complete. NFL prospects on offense, defense, and a return to tradition. This was our year, our time. But we bucked tradition once again in black jerseys against Alabama, and our disrespect of Georgia tradition cost us, big time. Once again, a Georgia team quit in the first half, although they made the second half respectable. Hopes dashed, dreams of national titles gone. We go to Jacksonville where the Gators destroyed the Championship hopes once and for all. And finally, Georgia Tech, our arch nemesis, exposes the defense that has no Junkyard Dawg tenacity. Beating Tech is a Georgia tradition, yet that was now gone as well.

Enter 2009, a rare opening season game on the road. We lose, first time in 13 years on opening day, where’s the tradition? A defense that gives up points in the 40s and 50s, where’s the Junkyard Dawg tradition? A loss in Knoxville where our team quit, where’s the tradition? Another quitting in Jacksonville, with black helmets and pants?? Where’s the tradition?

You promised us a return to tradition, yet have so departed from our traditions it isn’t funny. Georgia is about the RED and the black, not gimmick jerseys and helmets. Georgia tradition is a strong defense with a team that will fight you for all 60 minutes, even if overmatched, you still know you’re in for a fight as an opponent. Tradition is expecting to beat Tech at the end of the year, not wondering how many points they’ll score in whipping us in Atlanta.

It’s time for a return to tradition, and if you won’t do it Coach Richt, then traditionally, we as fans and alumni, will make sure it happens through withdrawing our contributions!!

Yeah, Spikes did that and most people missed it, including the announcers and refs. Good catch. I agree with J Clay that Willie should resign so his friend is not conflicted about firing him. Don’t know if Willie is wired that way, though. The D line is coached by Fabris (ends) and Garner (tackles). Tackles have played pretty well, ends have played better since Houston’s arrival. Bobo needs to be the O coordinator, not as it is now with Bobo the ‘passing coordinator’ and Searles the ‘run coordinator’. One guy, one decision.

We will beat TN Tech by 28 and everyone will say Joe played okay, he’s not the problem. Joe C is not an SEC caliber QB as he has shown against our biggest rivals. What was with Samuels jumping up and yelling in the 4th quarter when we are down by 17? This team is clue less and I expected more emotion against our biggest SEC rival. The team has become so much a reflection of CMR’s ……no emotion and flat every week. MAN UP CMR and sit Cox’s butt on the bench the rest of the season. Logan Gray is not the answer either. Why redshirt Murray? I see more recruits walking away after our perfromance today. This class will not sign everyone who verballed to UGA, bank on it.

I truly don’t know what to say. This was a total embarassment. I agree with Mark 110%, its not the talent but the coaching that’s crippling Georgia. CMR has lost control of this program and he won’t get it back. I’m not a prophet but I will guarantee that there will be some wholesale changes on his staff but enough about the future, let’s talk about the here and now: Joe Cox needs to be benched. This season is lost so why not put in another QB and get him ready for next year. We were actually in the game until he threw those interceptions. I feel sad for CMR (to an extent) because he can’t make decisions. How far are we going to fall behind the powers of the SEC? and What’s going to happen at season’s end especially if we don’t make a bowl? If i’m a UGA assistant, I’ll be putting for sale signs in my front yard. Don’t get me wrong, Georgia is a talented football team, the only problem is they have taken on the personality of their head coach. Oh well, there’s always next year.

UGA has traditionally played the game minus penalties and MISTAKES. This is not a disciplined team and it comes from the top. We used to lead the world in take aways and Thinking football,,,, so far have we fallen….after Tenn. Tech, God willing, I fear our fate

Mark,

In 2002 you wrote your “program in full ascendency” column. I guess this was the “full descendency” column. Amazing how completely things have changed. I wonder if Martinez will be the only casualty, or if other changes will be made. I also wonder who will make the decision (Richt, Evans, or Adams). It doesn’t seem healthy to me when someone above the head coach makes coaching personnel decisions.

No, not yet

October 31st, 2009
9:35 pm

Mark will not be fired. If he doesn’t make changes, the heat will become awfully uncomfortable. BUT, if he’s the coach, then he has to run the program. If he runs it poorly, you replace him, and the new guy gets to choose his staff. Mark can turn it around, he’s a good coach. Don’t know if he will though, because I don’t know if he will be willing to make the necessary changes. Anyhow, Go Dawgs!

First off hats off to the Gators fans for a great win. UF is a great team with great coaches and it shows every week.

-Now what Brandon Spikes did to Ealy is uncalled for and a terrible display of sportsmanship and he could have intentially casued damage to Ealy and his eye site. Who does Brandon Spikes think he is that he can just gouge his hands in the faace mask and eyes of a player like that. TOTALLY NOT CLASS on his part as that is a horrible didplay of charactar caught on tape. It obviously hurt Ealy cause in the video he immediatly reaches for his face while Spikes is digging his hand and fingers inside his face mask. TERRIBLE

Other than that UGA was out coached and out played on every level. A good win for them and good luck the rest of the season on the path for an SEC title.

I don’t care about losing, playing like a street gang is not acceptable. Leading the nation in penalties is not acceptable. Starting guys like Cox, Miller, Evans and Jones is unacceptable. Not changing the coaching staff and hiring competent assistants is unacceptable. All of these are the responsibility of the head coach. I say fire Mark Richt and I never thought I would. I will continue to say that until I see wholesale changes which starts with TN Tech and doesn’t end until the GT game in 2010.

Remember folks penalties and dirty play was suppose to be taken care of in the offseason this year. It wasn’t!!!! Big changes were supposed to be made after the TN game. The big change was Bobo moving to the sideline. All positions were suppose to be open after the TN game. Bobo moving to the sideline was the only change. I cannot support CMR anymore until major changes are made and UGA becomes a respectable program again win or lose.

“And the ugly truth has never been more apparent: Florida might or might not have better players, but it absolutely has better coaches.”
It deserves repeating, Mark. The players have proven in spells that they have the ability to play with UF and LSU (except that, as much as I like Cox, he’s pretty average)….but Spurrier’s words ring true again. These players have been left to their own devices and the buck stops with the HEAD coach.

There’s a breakdown going on throughout the football program. Absolutely no discipline — we’re just about the nation’s most-penalized team. No offense. No defense. Nobody in the athletic department willing to stand up and admit it’s broken.
Look, coach, either start beating Florida or admit you can’t, quit and let somebody else try.

Why is it that UGA alumnus and fans always think they are in the elite 10. Face it! You’re not… learn to readjust your mindset (at least the ones who actually went to the school) and understand you’ve got a good, top tier program that you should be proud to have Mark Richt as a head coach.

Concerned Dawgs Fan

October 31st, 2009
9:39 pm

In my opinion this is what UGA needs to become a top program again.

1) Damon Evans needs to hold Coach Richt more accountable, he has gotten too complacent, too comfortable. Richt needs to be a bit more down and dirty. Call a few coaches and players out IN PUBLIC, let them know this situation is unacceptable.
2) Hire new offensive AND defensive coordinators who are PROVEN to be successful at their craft and DEMAND that they coach the players up and DEMAND discipline.
-Both Bobo and Martinez were promoted to their positions with no big time previous success
-The offense is way too predictable (play action & throw to A.J.) and the defensive players are ALWAYS out of position
-Keep Bobo, but only as the QB coach

3) If Richt refuses to fire Willie Martinez or at least demote him, then Richt must be fired!

4) Bulldogs are aggressive! We want an aggressive, attacking defensive scheme. Too often the defensive backs are not even in the vicinity when the opposing teams receivers catch the ball.

5) Speed is important, but the Dawgs need to recruit bigger and stronger cornerbacks

6) See number 5, the Dawgs need to recruit bigger and more powerful running backs, I’ll sacrifice a few steps of speed for a bigger back that will run over a few people and make them think twice about making a tackle.

7) Football is not that complicated, the team that blocks the best, tackles the best and executes the best usually wins. Coach Richt’s team is currently FAILING and in three categories.

8) Hit the recruiting trail hard and not just for 4-star and 5-star players, but players heart and desire.

Mark Richt will not be fired. After what he has given UGA,he doesn’t deserve to be fired based on this one year.

He and Damon Evans will sit down at the end of the season and evaluate the football program like sane, successfull business men do. I imagine big money donors have already bent some ears and they will be forced to make some moves.

I agree with Mark. Georgia will have a new defensive coordinator next year and there will be other changes too.

We as DAWG fans have to hope that the changes work.

Even though I like CMR,he does need to make changes to his coaching staff. I wish he could make a change to his demeanor and show a little fire when his team messes up with all the turnovers and penalties. He reminds me of Bobby Cox in that he never publicly criticizes his team.And just like Cox he is loyal to a fault.Sometimes you have to make the hard decisions and fire or demote your buddy.Do you think that Urban Meyer or Nick Saban would put up with this mediocrity? Heck no.They would be on the next plane outta town.I’m afraid if he doesn’t make some changes soon then his seat is gonna heat up.

At the end of the season, the best thing for everyone, to include Richt, Willie, Bobo et al may be to just wipe the slate clean by buying out Richt’s contract and then to find a guy who can hang with Meyer and Saban, not to mention Kiffin and Johnson. They are out there. Evans gets paid a lot of money to be the athletic director. I say he starts earning it. Look at the guys at TCU, Boise State, Cincinnati. Don’t get someone who has never held a head-coaching position before. Pay the money to get somebody who has been successful as a head coach. Money is no object. Then tell him to hire the best asistant coaches he can get and pay them top dollar as well. You get what you pay for. If it takes 4 million to get a top-notch coach, well, that’s big time college football in this day and age. It isn’t 1966 any more. If you want to compete in the SEC, you got to step up to the plate. If you don’t, today is a pretty good indicator of what you are going to end up with. And one other thing, no matter how successful the next guy is, NEVER,NEVER,NEVER give him a ten year contract. Things can change in a hurry. Georgia fans can testify to that.

Look at Georgia and tell me who you think is going to be an NFL player. Caleb King, Joe Cox, yea right.
Can’t wait for Mayhem and the AM to assess this game on Monday Morning. Steak and Diminio know a ton about college football after all they grew up in NJ and Massachusetts.

I know this is football, and I know it’s a rough sport,,but that was one of the most low class, THUGGISH, not caring if the other’s player’s life, not to mention playing career, was affected criminal acts I have EVER seen on a football field. You can get penalized for helmet to helmet, hitting with an elbow, horsecollar,,, but COME ON !!!! the guy tried to ripo the players eyes out.

Well, well, well. Saint Mark is FINALLY being recognized for being an overrated “coach”.

Now, if the pathetic jock sniffers who reside in Bulldog Nation can figure that Saint Mark is also a hypocrite, we’ll be cooking with gas.

In the meantime, let’s celebrate Saint Mark for being nothing more than a younger, slightly less senile version of his mentor, good ole Booby Bowdown. Like good ole Booby, Saint Mark can win when he has superior athletes, but put him in a situation where he has to actually “coach” against a team that has similar or better talent … well, dadgummit, it’s all over but the crying.

Anyway, Saint Mark has guaranteed that UGA will continue to “boast” the most underachieving program in the entire country. The Dawgs are blessed with a great recruiting base, excellent facilities, a huge war chest, and a (literally) rabid fan base … and yet they still haven’t won a national title since Herschel still had one personality.

While I agree that the Defense needs new direction, that wont solve the problem.

How many of Florida’s points came off turnovers from the OFFENSE?

How many offensive drives were crippled by penalties?

I think these point to larger problems! Coach Richt got the job and did an outstanding job based on his offensive capabilities, and his knack for recruiting and teaching QB’s (as I recall). Has he gotten away from his strengths by assuming a “CEO” mantle as his mentor Bobby Bowden did? It would certainly contribute to some logical explanation as to how the program has slipped a notch despite consistently superior recruiting classes.

Mark Richt is a successful coach when Florida, Tennessee and Tech do him the great favor of hiring knuckleheads and wallow through the requisite two or three years of weeding them out. All three programs have moved on (and up) and it is due time that UGA follow suit.

Richt is a fine man… but he is not the future of UGA football.

To make a blanket statment that UGA is a second rate progam is about as assinine as saying GT is a powerhouse after one freakin year!! Bradley you say a lot of ignorant things but krap like this pretty much kills credibility as a sports writer.
UGA has had 8 or more wins in 12 straight seasons and are like top 3 in win totals over the last 8 or 10 years. Is this year a bust? yep Do changes need to be made? yep Is UGA still a national player next year? yep

BTW Your beloved Tech is currently losing to the SEC celler dweller Vandy. Have a nice night explaing that away if Vandy pulls it out.

I like CMR as a person and he had great results in years past, but in recent years he has woefully underachieved. The fans and alumni pay for that program and they deserve better. If CMR isn’t willing to make personnel changes it will not improve.

If the players are stubborn, hard headed, stupid, whatever. It is those players that CMR recruited. I agree though that the coaches main responsibility to game plan. Hell, maybe that is why CWM cannot make adjustments during games. He is to busy trying to reteach fundementals.

A “good coach” does not retain “less good” coaches. Therefore your statement is a contradiction and false. Mark Richt is a bad coach, if for no other reason than that he surrounds himself with “less good” coaches.

This tells the story: The commentators today were talking about an interview with CWM. They asked him about what it was like calling defensive plays against Percy Harvin in years past. He went on about having to know where he was at all times and calling plays accordingly. But the difference this year is that he could “CALL DEFENSIVE PLAYS BLIND”

Good lord, he even admits that he doesn’t have a clue!

Willie must be fired. Fabris must be fired. Bobo must be demoted. CMR waited a year too long – - we could have maybe had a shot at John Chavis, (formally DC for UT now for LSU)

I was there when Coach Dooley had his only losing season in 1979. That team did not look this bad.

It is just not that we are losing, but HOW we are losing – undisciplined, mistake prone, soft, bad tackling, poor blocking……….I fully expected today’s results.

The sad reality is that Georgia continues to bring in highly-rated recruits and they never seem to get any better. They don’t look like they’ve ever been in a weight room, they can’t tackle the goal post, they play without any positive emotion, they are constantly out of position and commit stupid penalties and mental mistakes on both sides of the ball over and over again. Either this coaching staff can’t coach (probably true) or the coaches are recruiting the wrong athletes (somewhat true) and wasting the program’s resources (no doubt) – either way the coaches (from Richt to Martinez to Bobo to Garner and right on down the line) are all to blame! We need Will Muschamp and Kirby Smart fast so let’s starting passing the hat!

The first or second play the Dawgs have the ball, the play is whistled dead when the ball is snapped. Spikes comes through an empty line and hits Waushan helmet to helmet. Waushan is knocked back and reacts by going back at Spikes. His OL follows him and more flags are thrown. None on the Gators or Spikes. Brillant move by Spikes or Meyers because the refs watch and throw flags constantly the rest of the half and a good bit of the second half. I would like to think Meyer had nothing to do with it.

Personally, I was very disappointed when I saw the black helmets today. When CMR came to UGA, he kept saying it was all about embracing and teaching the UGA traditions. Since CBVG left, I haven’t seen much of the UGA tradition. I like CMR as a person, not so sure as a HC. His decisions are what brought UGA to this place. BTW, I did NOT think that we would win today against the #1 team & #1 defense. However, I did expect more and I did NOT expect another “Oregon switch of uniforms”. I am ok with a loss to a better team. I am not ok with the state of the UGA program in 2009.

Please tell M. Richt “thank you” from all of the Bulldog Nation. He did after all lead us from the Donnan era. But Donnan, lest we forget, had rescued us from the Goff era (yikes)! Donnan did manage to sour the nation faster than Richt though by whining and complaining. Richt has done so by remaining loyal to a hopelessly overmatched DC. I for one am not calling for Bobo’s job yet because i think the #1 problem is a grossfully overmatched QB that our fearless leader is loyal to as well. Donnan was ran for being a “Millymouth”. Richt needs to go for a much more heinous crime. His “loyalty” to his inept assistant coaches (Fabris and Martinez) AND HIS AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL ARMED QB, is nothing less than TREASON to the entire Bulldog Nation.

CMR has never been a great game coach. He is a recruiter. He is able to get talent like his mentor Bowden. Unfortunately, like Bowden he takes the marginal characters thinking he can change them if they have athletic talent.

He gets a big pay check to coach a big program. He is paid for the risk of getting fired after bad season and he should expect to be fired. He should resign.

I do not like the attitude I see on the field–the personal fouls, the lack of enthusiasm, the confusion, the turnovers. Of late I watch the games and never feel like the team is fired up. I would prefer a team of boys who grew up wanting to play at UGA that played hard and played without mental mistakes and went 0-11 than a bunch of top 5 rated recruits playing to go to the NFL without regard for the team or our traditions.

These attitudes and mistakes are coachable and we are paying very good money to make sure we don’t have such problems.

Mark,
Your column is right on point. But, the same problems existed last year that are so obvious this year: lack of tackling, penalties, uninspired offensive play-calling, an inept defense that puts no pressure on the opposing QB and cannot adjust to its adversary’s game plan. Talent like Stafford, Moreno, and Massaquoi helped cover a multitude of sins. However, it all came into sharp focus during the Tech game — and even Jeff Schultz wrote in one of his columns towards the end of last season that the poor performance hung on Martinez, but next year (2009 season) it hangs on Richt because he did nothing to fix the problem (even worse, defended the problem). I agreed with Schultz then, and I agree with him still. Richt is an honorable man who helped rebuild the program. But he is also the team CEO, and CEOs must make tough choices. I agree with you that Richt probably won’t get fired at the end of this season, and as much as I would hate to see him go, maybe it is time.

We’re 4 and 4, it’s not an indictment of our program? Continued comments like this are lame, coach is not manning up to our problems. I don’t know how he can continue to make excuses, his credibility and integrity is beginning to be questioned in my mind. All I ask for is for Coach to admit we have problems and promise he will do whatever it takes to try and fix them.

Everyone wants to blame Willie, and he is sub-par. How many picks did he throw today? There are problems in just about every area of this team, lack of discipline, poor fundamentals, we are and have been resorting to gimmicks, uniforms, blackouts, etc.

How many passes did Tebow intercept today? Their players aren’t any more gifted than ours, what’s the difference. Culture, Attitude, Discipline, Tenacity: where does that come from? Leadership….We all know it now, although some of us still won’t admit it, it’s time for change.

I for one am tired, no more excuses, CMR is accountable for all, he’s surrounded himslef by sub-par coaches. He won’t be fired, and I’m not advocating that, but he hasn’t earned his salary. Just calling it like I see it.

I swear, give me the money, I can sit down and draw up a solution to every problem we have, why can’t Richt. When you build a team, you always plan for the unexpected. When you have a top notch DC, you bring on an apprentice and groom them to succeed their boss. One, it puts pressure on them to perform, two, it gives you options should they move on to better things, or should they fail. Richt hasn’t built an organization, he has built a fraternity of brothers. They have grown stale. This philosophy is the cornerstone of successful businesses and programs. This goes from top to bottom, DC, OC, Assistants, players, and yes, even HC’s. Richt is not a CEO at this point, he’s lost. It’s his job to insure the people he has in place are capable and are doing their jobs. If Richt isn’t, then Evans should. Obviously Evan’s is asleep at the wheel also.

I’m complaining but not throwing Richt to the wolves. He needs to make many changes, often a subtle change is all it takes but he has to get sharper. I don’t have to throw him to the wolves, they’re already at the door. Coach, do your job! Richt needs to search his soul and see if coaching is what he really wants to do, it’s a huge committment, a 365 day a year job now, full of tough, unpleasant decisions. If he doesn’t have the fire, the will, the energy, the backbone, please don’t drag our program any lower to satisfy your income needs. Retire.

The longer he drags his feet the uglier this will be.

Jason,

I did not mention CMR, because those firings need to happen first. John Chavis probably kept Fulmer at UT for ten years longer than that it would have without him. CMR can coach and he can be a good head coach if there are quality assistants around him.

I will say this, If CMR does not have the cajoles to make these decisions to fire assistant coaches and hire quality ones – - then yes, he should be fired as well.

Deal with it, CMR will never resign and will probably never get fired. Why? Look at his salary – would you quit if you were making that kind of dough and enjoying the prestige and priveledges that he has? Didn’t think so. Most coaches also have that competitive spirit that won’t allow them to throw in the towel. Like the great line from Planes Trains and Automobiles, you’d have a better chance of playing pick-up-sticks with your butt checks than expect CMR to resign.

Okay, fellow bloggers…how much money do you make per year? $2.8 million? No? Think maybe CMR is a little overpaid?

CMR has taken the program as far as it can go under him. Time for a change. Let’s get on with it.

They is some similarities here to baseball. Bobby Cox surrounds hisself with coaches that don’t coach too well and look at what has happened. They can’t bunt, they can’t run the bases, and they don’t win. Mark Richt has some coaches that has the players not wrapping up and not tackling. They also has some that are not behaving very well on the field and on the sidelines. Richt should teach them to be polite.

Secondly, if you have to question whether Florida has better players, you need to have your head examined. Tebow vs. Cox? Mark, are you insane. Look at every other position matchup. Florida has talent. UGA doesn’t. That’s it. Do you really think UGA and UF could flip coaches and UGA could win with those players? No way. Urban as good, but UGA is garbage. Why it took you 8 games to figure it out is makes me question your sports acumen.

Florida rushes for 8 yards – EIGHT YARDS ON FIRST DOWN. Brandon Boykin makes the tackle, then jumps up and beats his chest and struts around like he has just won the BCS Championship single handedly – after yielding 8 YARDS ON FIRST DOWN?????

Not that I am surprised, what with the arrests, the sideline dancing, the gansta signs after each tackle, the insulting comments toward the media and fans from players and coaches, the personal fouls, the inability to get the right number of players on the field for special teams, blaming the refs, whining about Jax “being a road game for us and not for them”.

Willie Martinez should be let go NOW!! He has TWO FREAKIN WEEKS to prepare and the best he can do is trot his same tired ol cookie cutter one size fits all soft zone defense out there?!!

Richt’s blind loyalty will be his undoing.

-Cox should be on the bench-PERIOD! Turn the reigns over to Gray and Murray they are the future.
We’ve had 21 turnovers this year and Cox is responsible for 14 of them!!! 11 INTs and 2 Fumbles! At least ONE INT EVERY GAME! IF A.Murray is as good as advertised we will lose him after his redshirt sophmore/Junior season, so why not burn his shirt and get him work now to prepare him for next season. He CAN’T do any worse than Cox
-Fire Willie NOW!!! Let Garner run the defense for the rest of the season and have Damon start working up a short list so we can make the move right at the end of the season and preserve recruiting.
-Move Samuel to LB NOW, he will be more valuable to the team and himself in this position. Ealy, King and Thomas can handle the run duties, let him go ahead and start the transition now so he’ll be that much more prepared for spring drills.

If Richt CAN NOT make the tough descisons then he needs to go PERIOD. I think Richt has the ability to be an elite coach, but he’s got to grow a set and be willing to cut dead weight. THIS is a prime example of why you DO NOT HIRE FRIENDS. Nine times out of 10 NOTHING good will come of it.
I still love the Dawgs and as I took my sons Trick or Treating tonight I kept my gear on here in Jacksonville.
The players, fans, and alumni ALLL deserve MUCH better than what we’re getting. I will say Bobo called a good game today, and it would have been interesting to see what Murray could have done vs noodle armed Cox!
This Program is at a crucial turning point. Either heads remain buried in the sand and we will continue to wallow in medocricy OR the TOUGH descisions will be made and the ship will be righted.
IF SOME MAJOR CHANGES DON’T TAKE PLACE SOON, then Tenn, GT, Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and even Miss State are going to blow right past UGA, there are signs at all of them that they are closer to doing so than not.

I knew the game was lost, right at the beginning when GA deferred posession to the 2nd half, and ran the ball the first few plays of the game. GA, sad to say, must give up trying to establish the passing game with a running game that is non-existant. GA must get back to the basics and learn agressive offensive blocking schemes with controllled authroity. We make way too many mistakes and have too many penalties to have a dominate rushing game. Discipline must come from the coaching staff first. It doesn’t matter the quality players you recruit, if you do coach the basics.

Mark Richt is known as a good coach. Urban Meyer is known as a great coach and is one more national championship from being a legendary coach. Sorry Georgia, but he’s THAT good.

Final Assessment

October 31st, 2009
11:05 pm

Would Urban Meyer win with Georgia recruits? Absolutely. Steve Spurrier asked, what happens to these top recruits once they set foot on the Georgia campus? The answer is, not a whole heck of alot.

An SEC caliber quarterback, as some posters have suggested that Joe Cox is not, would not make a bit of difference. If CMR could lose to Florida by a score of 49-10 with a quarterback like Stafford, the Dawgs quarterback situation is not really the problem.

To make my case for the difference a coach can make, take a look at the 3 years Florida had Zook. Excellent recruiting but very poor program management and coaching. Insert Urban Meyer with those same players and you have a national champion.

CMR is not as bad as Zook, but the Georgia assistants are much worse than the assistants under Zook in those 3 years. Net result is what you are witnessing.

We can only shoot ourselves in the foot so many times before the foot falls off. Penalties are killing us because the Dawgs are not disciplined!! Sic ‘em dawgs!!!

I never thought I’d say this, but it’s time for Richt to be replaced. This is the 4th year of steady decline, sub-par coachig being the problem. Richt has been obvlious, and only now acknowledges he has problems because of media pressure and the fact his team is 4 & 4.
As long as Richt is at Georgia, we will remain middle of the pack as it was apparently dumb luck those first few years. Don’t expect any more SEC championships by Richt. The party’s over.

Same crap, different week. Year after year we get the talent, but we very rarely can play a complete game. We’ve had the players yet only on occasion do we ever have moments – and I mean moments – of being an ‘elite’ team in any conference. Even under the Richt era – after 8-9 years and millions spent in salaries – we are at best a B program. Yes, a couple of years we were B+, but we’ve never been an A. Get some new coaches and new game plan. You get the talent but the obvious thing that is missing is discipline, motivation, teamwork, and leadership. I see ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE ABOVE IN THIS YEAR’s TEAM.

Pathetic effort from the coaches today and an even worse performance from the players. What made things so sad is to watch how the Dawgs wanted KUDOS for making tackles after a player came up a yard short after 1st down or better yet, finally tackling Tebow after the score is 31-10. Our players have been beaten so bad by Florida that they don’t know what it is like to actually have a meaningful season year after year. I actually loved the new look, well the facemask should’ve been white or black, but I loved the look. The only thing is give it to the players when they deserve to have on their “Saturday’s Best”! Honestly, I could care less about what the Dawgs do year after year now, I just wish we could stop the bleeding against Florida and now the rest of the SEC East has caught up! We played NO-Go-JOE all game seeing the way he played and then throw Gray in there expecting a difference when he has never really played…sigh! I honestly would go after Charlie Strong as I have heard many journalist say! If you can’t beat the man, might as well have him work for ya! The sorry part about this game is that it will happen again next year. We have no heart and nothing below!

Pete Carroll? You are comparing apples and oranges. When Pete Carrol takes a shot at the NC, he runs up the score on the doormats he plays as he should. On the other hand, Richt puts in the scrubs in the third quarter so as not to embarrass his opponent. A significant subtlety but the difference between being able to bring home a NC or not.

Which is good because we have black helmets and it doesn’t look like we’ll ever beat Florida.

Look, Mark Richt is a players coach. He treats every player like Urban treats his ward Tim Teboe. He probably tucks each of them in every night (before they sneak out and get in fights or drive without a license. He bowls with them and tells them “it’s a gosh darned pain in the rear” when they get into trouble. Penalties? Well, if he says something to them, they might not be his pal anymore.

4-4 would not be the end of the world if the losses were competitive. Where’s the fight? Why doesn’t anybody talk about how our team gives up when the going gets rough? Think of the biggest games of the last two seasons. Alabama: blowout. Florida: blowout. Tech: blowout (once they started rolling). Tennessee: blowout. Florida: blowout. (Hey, you forgot LSU. Yeah, I left them out, and that would have changed a lot. But we still lost).

I don’t know if Richt has to go or not, but I know this: Urban Meyer, for example, could take over this program and we would stop losing to Florida.

Wow – I’m a Tech alum, and even I will have to say that game was sad to watch. Last week, I was thinking that the UGA “crazies” were going off the deap end about Richt. Now, I’m not so sure. The dawgs were shown up in an embarassing way. The worst part was that they seemed to have no idea of what they were doing. The uniforms just made the whole thing more pathetic to me. That’s a first and it takes a lot to make me feel sorry for dawg fans.

Sorry, but when you have to start changing the uniform to get your team motivated for the Cocktail Party, you are DONE.

You don’t need to alter the sharpest uniforms in the conference; you need to change the culture of this team. A good place to start is to fire the assistants and get a fresh start. Teach some basic fundamentals, like blocking and tackling. And for God’s sake, find some players who can play the pass. We made Riley Cooper, whoever the hell he is, look like Chris Collinsworth today.

This team stinks. And what’s really galling, most Georgia fans knew this was coming. The handwriting was on the wall last year after the meltdowns against Alabama, Florida and Tech. Rich reacted by making ZERO changes, unless you count the purely cosmetic Jansen promotion. Not a good sign. Is anyone really surprised.

This is a team that lacks fire, character, heart and guts.

I have a dream that one day the dawgs will be judged by the content of the scoreboard and not the color of their helmets. Ask not what UGA can do for you, ask what you can do to get CMR a U-Haul
On a final note, Mr Gorbachev did tear down that wall 20 yrs ago (sort of) but it took someone like R. Reagan to say “Why can’t UGA play penalty free ball”

After today’s performance it would be hard not to put us in the Miss St/Vandy catagory.How did we fall so far,so fast? Lack of talent,overhyped recruits or just plain old bad coaching. This team had 2 weeks to get ready but yet they looked totally unprepared.You know you do not have a very good defense when your best player is RC & he would be a backup at FL,AL,TN,SC,LSU,MISS,AUBURN,etc.

I’m afraid that GT will put up over 500yds rushing & over 50pt on us in a few weeks.
But the only good thing that will come out of it is that CMR will be forced to do something about Willie

Our defense is not good enough to give our offense a chance to win. With the loss of Moreno and Stafford, we are an average offense that stalls at times, leaving our defense on the field more often. Thus, these problems are more noticeable this season. Our defense displays poor tackling, often out of position to make plays, and is often fooled by misdirection plays as well as spread offenses. This most likely has nothing to do with talent but much more due to poor coaching which lies at the fault of Willie Martinez, not Richt or Bobo. As active member of the Dallas Alumni Chapter, I know many members feel the same way about this. We need a solid DC with proven track record against spread offenses along the lines of Bud Foster or Dick Bumpas. I would prefer Dick Bumpas given his track record with high powered offenses of the Mtn West and Big 12. Plus, there is greater likely chance he would consider UGA. Imagine what he could do with the resources at UGA compared to TCU.

Why did Urban Meyer make that statement about how tough the UGA defense was at halftime? Was this a plug for his coaching buddy…..maybe Urban might want to add him to his staff?

Once again, the UGA family of students, players, and alumni should call upon the athletic director and coaching staff to release Willie Martinez of his services so he can seek employment elsewhere where his talents would be more effective.

Mark, can help lead the media charge?

MB – to say you think that Mark Richt is a good coach is just laughable. If you’re indicting those around him, the HE is indeed responsible for putting those around him. Being a good coach isn’t just about X’s and O’s (about which even that is suspect about Richt). It’s about being a good leader, about surrounding yourself with the right people, and about coaching up your players. On all three of these, Richt is a complete and utter failure.

So, again, MB, what is it that makes Richt a good coach? Did it ever cross your mind that his early successes were because he had natural born leaders on the team already (Greene, Pollack, Shockley, etc…) and fire on his coaching staff (Van Gorder)? Without those, the emperor has been shown to have no clothes.

It gets worse from here, my friends. The longer you stick with Richt, the more you will see. He is completely and utterly clueless.

First off, several of you deserve a 15 yarder for piling on. Now that being said…

FORGET Will Muschamp. He is the next head coach at Texas. End of story.

As for the season itself, it’s a lost cause. AT BEST this team is going to Nashville for a bowl game, but even that looks to be in doubt. Who’s to blame? Well, there’s plenty of it to be spread around, and many of the “educated” ones here already speculated on it. I think my immediate thought is that unless you’ve got someone big in mind to bring here to replace Richt, you can’t fire him right now. People said the same thing about Joe Paterno for having several down seasons. Yet he brought Penn State back to relevance. Richt has earned a pass because he has SEC Titles; something Donnan and Goff didn’t win. But I don’t doubt an overhaul is coming after the Tech game. The example I make with people is if Martinez and Bobo are such genius coordinators, then why aren’t other schools/pros trying to lure them away like they have in recent years at other big programs like USC (Chow), Oklahoma (Stoops), LSU (Pellini)- those are just three examples but there are plenty of others in the SEC I could rattle off. The reason is that teams have figured the Dawgs out, combined with letting UGA beat themselves with penalties and mental lapses. The talent is responsible for the execution, but the coaching staff has to take responsibility for the gameplanning end of it. It’s sad when you have 2 weeks to figure out a way to stop Florida, and you spend more time shopping for helmet color. Why not wear pink for breast cancer awareness?

The bottom line is this: Willie Martinez signed his walking papers today. This has been a long time coming, and if it was going to take a season like this to wake people up to the fact there’s somethign wrong within the UGA program, it’s almost better that we can get the bad year out of the way now. A final note for those of you that are ready to run CMR out of town- be careful what you wish for. Are you prepared for MULTIPLE losing seasons as part of a multi-year overhaul of the program???

When changes are needed, they have to be at the top. CMR has had 9 years at UGA. If he can’t lead a program competing for national championship by now, he is not going to. It is time to move on. I am lobbying to hire coach Nick Saban. Saban has to historical tie to BAMA. He is a coach-for-hire, and will go if we offer to make him the highest paid college coach again. He can also bring along his best defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, who is one of our own. In just three short season, he brought BAMA program from dismal to a national contender. Nick Saban is who we need to lead our pride program for the next ten years. I promise you he will make UGA a national contender in just a couple of years. hiresaban4UGA.com. Thoughts anyone?

You can only wish that you were on the same level with UF. Maybe you can play an upper tier team in a bowl game. VPI looked real good the other night getting trounce by UNC. At least that is a trouncing in your books. If I were you I’d be a little careful of what eggs you count. You still have one big game left, and you can bet those guys will be ready for your bug breathed vermin.

Dawgs, did y’all watch the same game I did? The game was a lot closer than the score showed- some boneheaded penalties and tipped interceptions made all the difference. These same Gators are a far cry from where we were last year, much less the mid-90’s Nebraska-like behemoth that we should be. Frankly, I’m underwhelmed.

As I wrote on this blog after last year’s UGA humiliation, your problem is Richt. He was reared on Bobby Bowden’s teet. The silly gimmicks, the stupid dancing, the tolerance for dirty, undisciplined play- all of it is vintage B.A.(Before Alzheimer’s)Bowden. The difference is that Booby had first drink from the spigot of top players coming out of Florida high schools- Richt does not. And so you don’t have the talent to overcome the problems that coincide with fielding a team of thugs. And so you lose. Big time.

And one last bit of advice: quit with all the darned monograms: CMR, CWM, MNC, AJC, etc. It’s annoying. This is a football blog, not a Pottery Barn catalogue. Go Gators!

These coaches have not earned what ever money they are being paid to coach out beloved school. How, after being off the week before do we come out with these WEAK offensive and defensive schemes????? We made not adjustments and coach Right need to fire up some coaches.

Well said Mark. The cancer (Martinez) has now destroyed the team and Richt let it happen. I agree with Bugkiller, Richt has committed the unpardonable sin of putting personal relationships ahead of the team and will be hard pressed to bring fan loyality back to a Richt coached team. The bad thing is Richt brought this all on himself.

Well Dawgy fans that was a real hoot today. Mark Richt just took your Georgia program and decided he was bigger than tradition and just spit in your face. The red helmet IS Georgia football…recognized nationally and respected or at least it was. He’s lost control of the program and despite being a good man, he should be fired. Florida games seem to expose his stupidity like no other forum can. He cost the Dawg Nation a National Championship in 2002 by playing DJ Shockley. That team should have been in the championship game, but sadly he let a recruiting promise get in the way and he continued it for the next two years after that. Face it, Mark Richt enjoyed great success with Donnans players, the 2007 season was a in fact a mirage because you didn’t even win your division much less a SEC Championship and then beat an overrated Hawaii team that was no match for any team in the SEC.
Fire him now or regret it again next year. Once a coach losing control it’s almost impossible to get it back….and oh yes, get ready for another loss to Georgia Tech. You’re on your own against Kentucky and Auburn,good luck with that too.
Georgia: The Wisconsin of the SEC soon to be the Northwestern of the SEC if you don’t fire Richt.

Hi, I am no longer sad about the lost. I am so sure we would lost. Just to point out the BASIC football, for the new (inbred) HC next year. 1) No rushing the punter (go back and look the last 2 years too) the coverage down field is right on the PR face every time. Get it my geneus coach? Every extra minute the coverage team can advance up to 10 extra yards! 2) Willy sent all 11 guys rushing Tebow, no one left back down field. This is the newest formation in football. On that play, Tebow almost stumble and hurt himself cause no one around within 15 yard!!! 3) We were rushing pretty good straight at them then suddenly Bobo try sweep left for no reason (just to look cute I think). Dumb mistake, to use against any kind of above average speed defense!! Basic physics my friend, the fat OL guys CANNOT move fast in sweeping play and D can have xtra time to catchup with the play. This the PLAIN BASIC fact, look at the film! Toss sweep play, in fact, have a better chance. Didn’t matter what kind of UF player came in in 4th period they can score atwill (almost) because of bad defensive calls. Tebow caught smirking when he said “tough game really, Georgia has a good team”. That is bull crap. This is ckufing sick and tired to see inept coaching. Oh the truth is surely exposed, Georgia has equally good players with UF or any teams we played for that matter.

How good would Stafford have been under Spurrier or Cutcliff or anyone who could actually coach a QB.

Let me get this right: Mark Richt has a mediocre season and the drunkard ignoramus faction of “fans” want him gone?

So do you think Pete Carroll or Bob Stoops are dealing with this as well? What about Jim Tressell?
Nah, their fans aren’t quite as delusional it seems.

Mark Richt built the high expectations that you feel entitled to. I know, let’s stab him in the back and bring in a corn bread coach who has a nice fluffy record. The only reason Boise State and Cincinatti and TCU are ranked so high is because strength of schedule was taken out of the BCS equation. But let’s not let small things like reality get in the way of our drunken, non alumnus, sans financial contributor, embarassments.

Let’s be like Mark Bradley and kick Richt around some more, and in public no less. No wonder Bush ever got elected with folks like this around.

Maybe this season should show you how impressive it is to have enjoyed numerous ten win seasons. No, because of Richt’s success you are entitled for more.

We’ve had a terrible Governor running this state into the ground and where are you? Senators out golfing and covering for their corporate pimps and where are you?

Let’s just focus all our disappointment on the best coach that Georgia football has ever had. It was him that threw all the picks today. It was him that stood by as Tebow walked into the endzone.

Sure Martinez probably will be demoted, but it will be done in a way that doesn’t damage recruiting.

Cox is playing because he knows the playbook best…Gray obviously only gets to read half of the field. That said, I agree we should like to develop others. Murray has a shoulder issue though and Mettenberger is really green.

Look, I am as loyal to the UGA as a non-alumni can get. But what made Richt so great early in the decade was having great assistants around him, a strong we are going to win no matter the effort required, few penalties… Now our defense and offense even with really good players, forgiving for injuries, are lacking. Look around the college football world, Kirby Smart is running the Bama D and the are killing, Will Muschamp is at Texas. Both teams are #2 & #3 respectfully. All the love in the world to W. Martinez. But you have to cut the bleeding somewhere. Those two men were homegrown and bred. We need to bring in a top notch, fresh prespective for the D. otherwise it will remain stale and never get better just worse. Some fault lies with the players for not executing the plays, but when it happens repeatedly it falls to the coaches who coach them for not having prepared them properly. We need to act and act soon. Not this season, just let it finish playing out. I just can’t stand the fact that in my memorable lifetime against the hated Gators we are 4 for 20. It makes me sick.

It’s official. The Dawgs’ are a mediocre program. I’ll give Joe Cox an “E” for effort; but he is a “one read and throw” qb. If the first read don’t work, he’s lost and tries to run the play anyway. The defense needs total rebuilding. The Dawgs’ LBs are substandard. I’ll give Curran and “E” for effort;but, what type LB would you rather have in the center core of your defense? McClain/Spikes (6′4″ >240lbs) or Curran? The other LBs don’t tackle well and Curran is easily blocked. The Dawgs’ DBs are playing guessing games and never recognize routes or know where the ball is. They don’t have anyone that can rove and disrupt a la Eric Berry. The main thing with the recruiting; seems to be geared toward highly rated skill/track type players. Linemen and tough guy/football players seem to be low on the priority list..Tuberville and Fulmer found out last year; you better keep pace and adapt in the SEC.

Spent $3000 going to the game with my entire family of 6. Sat behind the ga. bench and saw firsthand the attitude and character of this team. Left totally disappointed not just that we lost. But the way we lost: Had to watch totally non-chalant Caleb King and Washaun Ealey dancing on the sideline in the 3rd and 4th quarter when we were down 2-3 touchdowns. Players who are just not focused and coaches that rarely discipline poor attitdues or mistakes on the field. This tells me that Ritch has lost total control of the team. After watching Georgia for the past 25 years, the last 2 seasons reminds me of the golf years. I hate to say it but I think Ritch is through…winning is not the only priority and unfortunately in this league, it has to be or you get left behind.

Your image is now closer to Morehouse than Alabama and leaves your subhuman fan base harder for the rest of us to tolerate.

UGA VII needs to be fired for sure and that could help turn your season around. I really believe that. And quit the fashion show crap. It does nothing to the other team and it is not making the DAWGS respectable.

Richt had his chance with top rated running backs and top rated QB’s and couldn’t pull it off in the pass seasons with him at the helm. Richt had two weeks to prepare his team for florida and couldn’t even stay up with the florida coaching staff, It’s not about his record its about taking Georgia to the next level in SEC football. Georgia Fans who do you want to lead our future players to the next level? I for one have finally given up on the Mark Richt era.

Today, the Oline protected and blocked well, Ealey discovered he could run the football against the best the SEC has to offer. Receivers are among the best in the country. We have some great young players on D. Yes we are having a down year! Hell , Oregon just beat S.Cal 47to 20. No one stays up forever. I am a Georgia Bulldog and I am damned proud of it .

Right now, UGA would lose against TCU and probably have a competitive game against SMU due to its defense. This has nothing to do with talent but with the defensive coaching schemes by Willie Martinez. Both these schools have a much smaller budget than UGA.

If they couldn’t hire a solid DC at the end of the year, maybe they should fire the whole lot, including CMR, shell out the money for Will Muschamp for the head coach and match what Mack Brown is making now.

I would like to keep CMR as an offensive resource for the team and then get a stellar DC. But if CMR would not part with Willie then force his hand by suggesting a change in the head coaching position.

Donnan was fired for less.

The “thug” talk always amazes me. The people who mention “thugs” wouldn’t care less if the team was 8-0. Most of the Top 25 teams have “thugs” scattered throughout their rosters, but no one is cleaning house at those schools. I can only shake my head at the UGA fans who like to climb up on the moral high horse and tsk-tsk the “thugs” once the team stumbles. On the other side of the coin, a few years back, 90% of the fabled “Bulldog Nation” (stretching all the way from just north of Jacksonville to just south of Chattanooga) was weak in the knees over CMR’s overt Christianity, what with the team chaplain and team prayer meetings and such. I guess the moral fiber of your coach means alot …… when you’re winning. Most of The Bulldog Nation would support the hiring of Beelzebub himself and stocking the roster with hard core thugs, if it resulted in a 12-0 season. Winning is everything, baby.

This team is beyond bad. Look at the losses over the last two seasons & you will see a program in free-fall. 2 of the last 3 starting QB for UGH would be lucky to start for Div II schools. We have a terrible defensive scheme & worst plyers to actually play it. There is no imagination on offense & the OL is dreadful. The team is undisciplined, poorly recruited & poorly coached.

Until the fans start making the Athletic Dept & the sponsors start feeling the “pain”, there will be no changes. How could this program have finished #2 in the country less than 2 years ago? What you have is a bunch of overpaid coaches who have no hunger to win & no desire to excel. This is passed on to the players. Maybe next week UGH can break out the white helmets w/ red pants. If that doesn’t work, how bout the silver helmets w/ white pants. If neither of those get the win, maybe the coaches & players can remove their lace panties!

We has got to fire Cox after so many INTS and get some SEC level QB plays from the freshmen. Cant we trade Coxs to Vandy and bring in some quality players for our Christian coaches? We just has to get rids of the bad players and brings up the SEC speed talents from Hargraves. Adams needs to kick the sorry players out of univ, and if he aint got balls enough then Evans got to man up and get Adams resigning or fired.

Nobodies in admin at schools seems to have enough cohonias to get rids of the sorry players with no talent for SEC speeds. We got to starts commiting to football and if the admin aint goning to win in football than they needs a firing.

“They’re a good team,” said defensive end Justin Houston. “But it seemed like every time we made a bad play, they capitalized on it.”

This is probably the most ridiculous quote I’ve ever read, but also indicative of the state of Georgia coaching these days. The proper response to Mr. Houston’s statement would be, “What the hell were they supposed to do, pat you on the @$$, say nice try, give you the ball back and tell you to take another shot at it.” Here’s a novel idea for the Bulldogs, STOP MAKING BAD PLAYS AND THEY WON’T HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO CAPITALIZE ON!!! The team is as talented as any team in the country and to see them play this way is painful to say the least. Joe Cox may or may not be in over his head, but we’ll never know because he is woefully unprepared by his coaches. This team gets outplayed because their coaches get outcoached. Preparation and discipline are the only things that separate Florida from Georgia. Unfortunately, along with talent, that’s two thirds of what you need to be a winning program. No discipline because Coach Richt is too nice a guy despite having a great football mind. No preparation because Willie Martinez is in over his head and Mike Bobo is ridiculously predictable in his play calling. Can’t win on talent alone in college football, especially in the SEC.

CVGator

November 1st, 2009

An outsiders view. All you Bulldawg fans need to lighten up on Coach Richt. Never less than 8 wins in his SEC career – great consistency in this league. These are teenagers for the most part. The whole league has been inconsistent this year. Take back the LSU loss and it is a different situation. Florida is the No. 1 BCS team, not the Florida of the 70s. Life has changed. Georgia lost a dominant quarterback, running back and receiver from last year starting in the NFL on Sundays, and has continuing problems with the OL. There is going to be a letdown in play. I don’t like going with a 5th year senior at QB, because just when he starts to figure it out, he is gone. But I guess it was Richt’s best option. This was always going to be a rebuilding year – the question is whether there rebuilding going on. When the offense gives the ball away 4 times you expect to lose, so it isn’t all on the defense. Stuff happens – but Martinez needs to go, because he has become a distraction. Richt needs to man up and let him go if he doesn’t resign. The biggest surprise to me is that Georgia wasn’t better prepared after an extra week to get ready.

i’m a real bulldawg fan, and not too much i havent seen. 1st. i love good football. 2. if you play hard and gave it your best, then i would be proud and jumping for joy. but when its 14 – 10, going n2 halftime/you let a quarterback sneak((which he known to do, on 3rd & 3))run for a 20 yard touchdown up the middle. where were the defensive-playmakers/the effort, desire to hold, & putting it out there for your team, coaches & the win. ((THE WIN, same situation vs. lsu when you allow a tailback run 40yrds in the final seconds to win that game))wasnt the coaches fault, THE WIN will never happen if georgia can not make plays from players who are consider to be playmakers. sorry but cant put that on coaching, when you’re in a position to make a play and you dont. THEN THE OTHER TEAM-PLAYMAKER, MAKES THE PLAY and WE’RE LOOKING AT THEM CELEBRATE W/THE WIN.

honestly after that play b4 the half, i knew georgia would lose. but i will always pull for the bulldawgs no matter what.((PLAYMAKERS MAKE PLAYS IN BIG GAMES))period

This relates to not only coaches he’s surrounded himself with but the lack of respect and constant discipline problems with his players. Which also just has to be addressed. Georgia has had some of the best recruiting classes year in, year out. Don’t know how good their character evaluation has been but consensus says all very good. Now that shouts poor coaching. Georgia shouldn’t take a back seat to anyone, especially our head football couch. If we stay with the status quo we will stay as we are now; just not acceptable.

Iowa would kill Florida? You must have not seen the Hawkeyes play today……..or most of the year for that matter. Nobody can honestly say if Iowa was playing a good team today they would have won. Florida or any good team doesn’t give up 2 long touchdowns in about 5 minutes of a game,they just don’t. These guys put up 15 against Michigan State but they are going to kill Florida? 20 against powerhouse Wisconsin? Penn State 21, 42 against the traditon of Indiana so the Hawkeyes will just kill Florida right? Best to think about Ohio State first. Bama going to crush Florida? Heck maybe they win but their will be no crushing, Bama’s offense is not that great to begin with and could not put up enough points against Florida’s D to crush them. UGA will be favored for a National Title next year? Yeah right, with three very young Quarterbacks. Tennessee is the team on the rise in the East, believe it. 2 weeks and give up 41 and score 17? Cox got the ball in the end zone twice against the same defense Stafford faced last year, a better defense. He moved the ball a lot better than I thought he would and was never going to put up a big number against that defense. Nobody will, Bama, Texas, Iowa, any of them. 8 Games = 8 Touchdowns Allowed, 75 Points Allowed………by the defense.

You need 6 wins against div-1 opponents to be bowl elligible. Dawgs have 4 right now. Ky Aub and GT is all thats left and that equals no bowl cause we wont win 2 of those 3.

Lots of penaltys…bad turnover ratio…top 10 in recruiting year after year.

Its coaching…plain and simple.

Stop trying to come up with goofy gimmicks and try coaching. No more celebrations. No more blackout games. No more weird uniform combos. Just do your job and coach. If your position coaches are as bad as they appear to be then fire the whole lot of them and bring in people who can coach players up. If not, it won’t be long before you are looking for a new job.

Those of us talking about stinky players is right. We have to get rids of the stinky non-Christiansist players and get in some Hargraves SEC speed talent.

Once we get SEC speedy talent players who is into Christians then we start winning BCSES agains for title.

The Gaytors got lucky that stink Joes Cox was playing INTS today to give game to Gaytors. If UGA play our talented Hargrvaes then we run Gaytors out of Jaxs. We gots to have the big ball to can the stinky players like Myer and Saban is capabilities of doing to stinkyest no good players.

Said Richt: “We’re 4-4 this season. I don’t think it’s an indictment of the program. I think it’s an indictment of where we are this year.”

What an arrogant statement. Richt, you have been destroyed the past three seasons by the teams that matter most. You are not capable of winning the big games anymore with this high school staff you employee. Either make the changes or PLEASE politely resign. I am threw writing checks until I see some heads roll.

Fabris, Martinez, Jancek, Bobo and possibly others: Tell your wives to start packing.

We sux, we just plain suc. To all my fellow UGA alums and fans. Nothing will be done about it. The inner circle at UGA actually thinks we have won over 20 NC’s since the 1980 NC. They actually think we have and have always had the premiere program in the country. My suggestion We put down the Makers Mark and sober up, and take a good look at a program that has one only 1 NC in a hundred years of College Football. We are in Denial. By the way I am not worried about Tech. If Paul Johnson does well He will go somewhere else, Tech is not strong enough to keep Him. Tech really suxs. UGA we just have to sober up and get our lives and focus back.

Total lack of team discpline. I was at the Arizona State – Georgia game. The score was tied 17-17 and the players behind CMR on the bench were dancing to the music, as if they were ahead 45 points late in the game.

I thought, you have GOT to be kidding me ! What the F### do they think is going on? You have 90,000 fans there to support the players and the players are acted like 5th graders in their antics.

Joe Cox sucks, Willie sucks, BooBoo sucks, the running backs (with the exception of Ealy (?) suck, and special teams suck. About the only thing NOT sucking right now for UGA are the kicker, the punter and the fans. Other than that, UGA is ALL sucking right now.

Ok, I dont like these vents, but, time has come. Richt is a good guy,, no doubt, but not HC material. The total demeanor of the team in the 2nd half was disheartening.. We have no sense of urgency, no inner motivation. Its good to control emotions at times of crisis, but we show none until its time to celebrate. The Dogs have never been in such disarray in my 40 yrs of supporting them, and its time for a change. Not to blame any one individual, but Cox is no Division 1 QB. Great guy, loyal to his school, and all that, but couldnt start for anyone we’ve played this year. Its puzzling to think a university with all the history and tradition, cant come up with a more talented offensive leader. Again, great guy, just doesnt have the tools to get it done at this level. This season is history, and its gonna be a couple, iflucky, years before we rebuild and get some really qualified people in the right positions to compete at this level. That said, coaching these qualified individuals is also the problem. We’re getting players with potential, and they leave on the same level they arrived.We win Tenn Tech, hopefully, then possibly drop to Kentucky, Auburn, and GT. A 5-7 record should be enough for a real shakeup in the ranks from top to bottom. Lets live thru this and learn from it and get back to where we need, and should be. Period

Lame black helmets.

Lame coaching staff.

Lame offensive play calling.

Lame defensive game plan; for God’s sake, they only have 1 player to defend against.

Alabama and Florida continue on at Number 1 and Number 2 in the nation.

LSU won again, has only 1 LOSS still, and also is CONSIDERABLY better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Texas undefeated and the best football program in the Coach Richt Era.

Boise State won again and clearly is a better football program than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Southern California LOST and is still 10 fewer LOSSES than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Oklahoma won again, and is still way better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Ohio State won again, and is still way better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Average Number 6 Recruiting Class according to Rivals and Scout.com in Coach Richt Era because the state of Georgia has the 4th most high school football players who go on to the NFL.

WORST “coaching staff” in the nation by far. A lame group of college roommates and buddies who sit around and pray together, but are clueless on offense, special teams and defense; and frankly on recruiting positions which are huge glaring holes on our teams every single year of Coach Richt Era.

41-17.

Abysmal.

Special teams, we cannot even line up 11 players on a field goal try by our “Rival.”

Special teams, we did not even try to field a punt all night long.

Out-rushed 2 to 1.

Again.

LEAD THE NATION IN PENALTIES of all 120 teams.

Coach Richt says “when I was at Florida State, we led the nation in penalties, every year and we did alright.”

Sorry “coaching” of our boys.

The real shame is we have some real talent on this team. Players who will play in the NFL.

You’d NEVER KNOW IT, watching them play here the way we “coach” them.

121 arrests and suspensions in the Coach Richt Era. 2 more this week, Georgia week, our “Rival” Florida calls it. Coach Richt didn’t even SUSPEND 1 of the 2 arrested THIS WEEK.

LEAD THE NATION IN TURNOVERS of all 120 teams.

Our players tackle and throw down their opponents, standing beyond the 5 foot white out-of-bounds lines LOSING by 4 touchdowns.

Our players can not even be told which 11 are supposed to be on the field against a field goal try.

Our players get up after a play is over and hit, push, shove, jaw at our opponents and have no respect for anything but looking like a bunch of thugs who are poor sports.

We purposely knock down our Opponents’ Heisman Trophy Quarterback AFTER THE PLAY IS WHISTLED DEAD without him even having the football. 5 seconds after the play would have been legal.

EMBARRASSING.

We run players out there willy-nilly like in Week 8 we do NOT YET KNOW who should be our running back. Take the redshirt off 1 of the running backs touted as 1 of the top in the nation, in week 6 with 3 quarters of the game OVER. Before that, we got to watch KNOWSHON MORENO play only 2 years here before the NFL took him with the Number 7 pick in the 1st Round. But, our “offensive coaches” cannot figure out that he should NOT BE REDSHIRTED.

Special teams kick-off returns, we got the ball to the 9 or 11 yard line all night long. Nice.

What kind of special teams’ coaching is that ?

We allowed a 56 yard field goal against us, LOSING by 4 touchdowns.

I presume our “coaching staff” did not feel that we should be trying to block that 1 with AJ Green.

Interviewed Coach Richt at half time and they ask how do they get AJ Green more involved in the offense. Coach Richt says throw the ball to him more. Excuse me, who is the offensive coordinator any more for this team, Coach Richt since that is YOUR STOCK IN TRADE for your CALLING, sir.

4-4.

UNRANKED.

Every team starting 1997 for UGA has been ranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25.

NOT THIS YEAR.

NOT that we should have been ranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25 in 2001, in 2006, in 2008, and in 2009.

Coach Richt says that our FANS DO NOT KNOW.

Fans of UGA number the 5th most in the nation who spend the 3rd most on team gear and we get this “coaching staff” the average Number 6 recruiting ranking by EVERY SOURCE including Rivals and Scout.com.

We travel better than every team in the nation.

BUT WE DO NOT KNOW, Coach Richt whines after EVERY LOSS.

So, he sends his players out there in an us against the world mentality and NO GAME PLAN. Instead, he is OFF WATCHING HIS SON play Division III football.

5 touchdowns, half of his total in his career, every year scored against UGA by Tim Tebow. 1 player on their entire team to defend against. And, he scores 4 more touchdowns against us this year.

NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

Take your furlough day off and your “coaching staff” and then go watch Division III football games out of state, instead of figuring it out how you have a LOSING RECORD against top teams and a LOSING RECORD against 2 teams from The SEC East and The SEC West in your 8 years and 8 weeks here in the Coach Richt Era of WORTHLESS “coaching staff.”

4 of 12 on 3rd down conversions by the offensive offense. On 3rd and long the announcers are left saying, the reason why UGA is calling a running play (WITHOUT A RUNNING BACK) is that they are AFRAID to ask their 4 Top 10 Quarterbacks in the nation to throw the ball downfield.

Yank Joe Cox whom Coach Richt has repeatedly said is HIS QUARTERBACK. Really Coach Richt, have you coached him yourself 1 damn minute in his 5 years here ? Doesn’t look like it.

Put in another Top 10 Quarterback, also not coached, and he throws the football 3 yards from his end zone to the best player on Florida’s defense. Not a receiver for UGA in the picture.

Nice.

At least we can put to rest that the NEXT COACHING STAFF at my alma mater can move along to Aaron Murray and forget this crap that we have coached and brought along Logan Gray with his 1 play for 3 games experience, all running plays.

At least we got Logan Gray in there to find that out.

Now.

Aaron Murray will play here what ?

2 years like Knowshon Moreno.

Logan Gray zero for 3 on passes, with a PICK 6 interception and a SACK.

Great coaching to finally let him play in a game, Coach Richt.

Jerk.

3 passes.

We threw 3 passes to AJ Green.

We tried a 4th pass, out of 70 plays, but it was into quad coverage. 4 Florida players man on man against AJ Green on the play. A 5th who jumped up trying to disrupt the pass in flight before it got to him and a 6th who was just to the left of that defender. And, we threw the ball to him anyway.

Nice play call their Coach Richt, who has MADE HIS CALLING in THIS WORLD as play caller, offensive coordinator and Quarterbacks’ Coach.

Only had 4 punts.

That is an improvement.

We are like a Vandy now, where our best player is visibly our DAMN PUNTER.

Only had 4 punts, because we never had the ball because we lead the nation in penalties playing BAD BOYS and therefore cannot sustain a drive, and because we lead the nation in turnovers and don’t have to punt when you turn the football over every series on offense.

But, of course, it is just Willie Martinez who has to go.

B.S.

Lame black helmets.

Lame coaching staff.

Lame offensive play calling.

Lame defensive game plan; for God’s sake, they only have 1 player to defend against.

Alabama and Florida continue on at Number 1 and Number 2 in the nation.

LSU won again, has only 1 LOSS still, and also is CONSIDERABLY better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Texas undefeated and the best football program in the Coach Richt Era.

Boise State won again and clearly is a better football program than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Southern California LOST and is still 10 fewer LOSSES than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Oklahoma won again, and is still way better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Ohio State won again, and is still way better than UGA in the Coach Richt Era.

Average Number 6 Recruiting Class according to Rivals and Scout.com in Coach Richt Era because the state of Georgia has the 4th most high school football players who go on to the NFL.

WORST “coaching staff” in the nation by far. A lame group of college roommates and buddies who sit around and pray together, but are clueless on offense, special teams and defense; and frankly on recruiting positions which are huge glaring holes on our teams every single year of Coach Richt Era.

We run players out there willy-nilly like in Week 8 we do NOT YET KNOW who should be our running back. Take the redshirt off 1 of the running backs touted as 1 of the top in the nation, in week 6 with 3 quarters of the game OVER. Before that, we got to watch KNOWSHON MORENO play only 2 years here before the NFL took him with the Number 7 pick in the 1st Round. But, our “offensive coaches” cannot figure out that he should NOT BE REDSHIRTED.

Special teams kick-off returns, we got the ball to the 9 or 11 yard line all night long. Nice.

What kind of special teams’ coaching is that ?

We allowed a 56 yard field goal against us, LOSING by 4 touchdowns.

I presume our “coaching staff” did not feel that we should be trying to block that 1 with AJ Green.

Interviewed Coach Richt at half time and they ask how do they get AJ Green more involved in the offense. Coach Richt says throw the ball to him more. Excuse me, who is the offensive coordinator any more for this team, Coach Richt since that is YOUR STOCK IN TRADE for your CALLING, sir.

4-4.

UNRANKED.

Every team starting 1997 for UGA has been ranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25.

NOT THIS YEAR.

NOT that we should have been ranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25 in 2001, in 2006, in 2008, and in 2009.

Coach Richt says that our FANS DO NOT KNOW.

Fans of UGA number the 5th most in the nation who spend the 3rd most on team gear and we get this “coaching staff” the average Number 6 recruiting ranking by EVERY SOURCE including Rivals and Scout.com.

We travel better than every team in the nation.

BUT WE DO NOT KNOW, Coach Richt whines after EVERY LOSS.

So, he sends his players out there in an us against the world mentality and NO GAME PLAN. Instead, he is OFF WATCHING HIS SON play Division III football.

Richt may not have his heart or his mind on georgia football and reliance on changing the costumes of the players may be evidence of a troubled mind if he believes theatrics will make a signiicant difference in performance against the number one team in the country . he appears not to have the zeal to win and perhaps the powers that be should note this and start serious discussions with him as to whether he is personally satisfied and content in his chosen profession. perhaps theapy for the entire coaching staff would help.

By the way Mark Bradley — thanks for stating the obvious, you’re a real football genius. The dog fans have been way ahead of you. Knowledgeable fans have wanted Martinez gone for a couple of years now. Everyone is tired of the way Georgia is losing — penalties, turnovers, bad play calling, bad special teams, and lack of motivation and discipline (which all goes back to bad coaching). Everyone knows it’s time for a change — all good things run their course (just like Fulmer and the rest of them). Richt’s two terms are up — it’s time for change — we want to be competitive on the field.

3 passes.

We threw 3 passes to AJ Green.

We tried a 4th pass, out of 70 plays, but it was into quad coverage. 4 Florida players man on man against AJ Green on the play. A 5th who jumped up trying to disrupt the pass in flight before it got to him and a 6th who was just to the left of that defender. And, we threw the ball to him anyway.

Nice play call their Coach Richt, who has MADE HIS CALLING in THIS WORLD as play caller, offensive coordinator and Quarterbacks’ Coach.

Only had 4 punts.

That is an improvement.

We are like a Vandy now, where our best player is visibly our DAMN PUNTER.

Only had 4 punts, because we never had the ball because we lead the nation in penalties playing BAD BOYS and therefore cannot sustain a drive, and because we lead the nation in turnovers and don’t have to punt when you turn the football over every series on offense.

But, of course, it is just Willie Martinez who has to go.

Richt obviously needs to make some changes but I honestly believe that he can and will turn this thing around at Georgia. As I noted in another post, it’s become increasingly obvious that he was the primary reason for all of those national championships at Florida State. Maybe his loyalty to his assistants is a problem at this point and changes need to be forced. Keep in mind, however, that Tampa Bay fired Tony Dungy for the same reason and he went on to have huge success at Indianapolis. TB hired a coach who won the whole thing with Dungy’s players but then took a nose dive and is now in the broadcast booth. In the end, integrity and character matters and Richt has both in spades.

Take your furlough day off and your “coaching staff” and then go watch Division III football games out of state, instead of figuring it out how you have a LOSING RECORD against top teams and a LOSING RECORD against 2 teams from The SEC East and The SEC West in your 8 years and 8 weeks here in the Coach Richt Era of WORTHLESS “coaching staff.”

4 of 12 on 3rd down conversions by the offensive offense. On 3rd and long the announcers are left saying, the reason why UGA is calling a running play (WITHOUT A RUNNING BACK) is that they are AFRAID to ask their 4 Top 10 Quarterbacks in the nation to throw the ball downfield.

Yank Joe Cox whom Coach Richt has repeatedly said is HIS QUARTERBACK. Really Coach Richt, have you coached him yourself 1 damn minute in his 5 years here ? Doesn’t look like it.

Put in another Top 10 Quarterback, also not coached, and he throws the football 3 yards from his end zone to the best player on Florida’s defense. Not a receiver for UGA in the picture.

Nice.

At least we can put to rest that the NEXT COACHING STAFF at my alma mater can move along to Aaron Murray and forget this crap that we have coached and brought along Logan Gray with his 1 play for 3 games experience, all running plays.

At least we got Logan Gray in there to find that out.

Why did Richt not hire an offensive coordinator when he came to Georgia? He only turned it over to Bozo because the heat was on him. And who could trust his judgement after Willie, Bozo, the Celebration, the Fashion Shows, and the infamous Jasper Sanks Call.

The Call: Auburn 2001. Trailing by a 7 and with a first-and-goal at the 1, host Georgia had time for at least two and most likely three passing attempts. But Richt decided to run Jasper Sanks. He was stuffed for no gain and time ran out on Georgia.

But let’s look at the big picture here…who alllows the players to dance like idiots ON THE FIELD DURING GAMES…who allows the players to celebrate in the endzone/on the Vandy logo/on the sideline beacuse you scored a TD instead of acting like you have been there before…who allows the ridiculous penalties, especially the PF’s, to NOT result in benching…who allows these silly color scheme gimmicks to get your team ready to play especially when you are 4-3…who would have thought UGA would have to admit that UF plays with more class. Finally the statements he makes after these games are really unbelievable. I don’t think it is necessary to name names but for godness sake say we played horrible, we played undiscaplined, we got whipped on the field, and we got whipped in the coaching booth. Everyone else already knows these things but at least we will know that you get it too. Richt is an honorable man but he has lost control of this program and I am no longer convinced he can turn it around. Let me be clear, Richt gets paid big $ to win games but he more importantly he gets paid to run a program everyone can be proud of and represent the university with class and honor…to that end this program has been an absolute embarassment for several years.

Gave his whole entire “coaching staff” huge off-season raises during a recession, to make them paid like every other SEC Coaching Staff.

Paying Top Dollar for our “coaching staff” and having no clue who even to play or not play, who to redshirt or not redshirt.

Can’t see we cannot sack a QB for years from Defensive End, which is why we didn’t recruit any DE for this season after no sacks last year.

Knew Knowshon Moreno going to the 7th pick of the 1st round of the NFL draft. No effort to go get a RB for this year.

Great Fullbacks. Refuse to hand them the football to run with.

Clueless.

OL every year of the 8 years and 8 weeks of Coach Richt Era either signing 10 OL that year or 0.

No Junior or Senior Running Back on the entire roster.

4 Top 10 QB in the nation this year, recruited 2 more.

Give NONE 1 single meaningful warm-up even against podunk teams.

We are out-recruited in our own state for the very players we are so desperate to sign for glaring holes on our team every year.

Insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Albert Einstein.

Don’t give me this Coach Richt is going to be great.

For crying out loud Mark Bradley, fact is Mark Richt has been one of the most successful coaches in America since coming to UGA. Mark Richt is proven..his record of ten win seasons, bowl victories, top ten finishes and SEC titles speak for themselves. I don’t want to hear about National titles either. Until there is a playoff and all subjectivity (ie ESPN and all the bias journalism majors like you) are taken out of the equation, national titles are bogus. Even Tim Tebow after losing to UGA just two years ago said Georgia was the best team he faced all year and oh yes, that included BCS National Champion LSU. Mark Richt doesn’t need affirmation from you or anyone else. He has earned his reputation and when I read articles like this you are earning yours. To say the Florida program is that far ahead of UGA is I believe, premature.

Congratulations to the Florida Nation. As a 50 year old Georgia fan I have been blessed to watch two of the greatest college football players in history compete in this, the greatest college game in America. Players like Herschel Walker and Tim Tebow and Coaches like Vince Dooley and Steve Spurier are what have made this game so special.

To all you opposing fans you should only hope Mark Richt gets fired. My only hope is that potential recruits have the common sense to differentiate between the true Georgia fans all these imposters.

Unranked, at the bottom of all stats, defense giving up thirty, forty, maybe fifty points. Coach Richt spinning, making excuses … Oh, shucks. Women want love … men want respect. Where’s the passion, the fire, the swagger .. the you want me to take you outta here? Dawgs have gone to the dogs with poor coaching, poor fundamentals, poor attitudes, poor discipline, poor motivation, poor play … poor, poor, poor, poor, poor.

Richt is responsible for cheap shot penalties the players have been making over the past few years.He could have stopped them by benching the player for the game. The face mask grab of the out of bounds Florida player is an example. Georgia does not need that type of player.
The team on both sides are undisciplined, have poor fundamentals, and in general poorly coached. The slide started when we lost Van Gorder. Martinez may be a good coach but he is no coordinator.Anyone who has ever played or knows the game of football know defense wins them. Vince Dooley and Bear Bryant both knew that.

There are changes that need to be made. No doubt. However, we UGA fans are the most fickle group of people on the planet. If you could back out and read the crap on this blog from the perspective of someone not UGA you should be embarrassed.

We suck more than the coaches. CMR is a good coach. The reason you all do not get considered is that you don’t know what the hell you are talking about fans. So, make intelligent comments and quit calling for CMR to be fired.

Do we need change at DC? Yes. OC? Maybe. Head coach? No.

The reason we were great the first part of CMR’s time is BVG and the defense. We need the same fire and discipline in a DC. Kirby Smart? I’d offer him some bucks to come be DC.

OC is hard. We lost a ton of fire power last year. Mike Bobo is still learning, and hey, we put up some points on Florida. Take away the interceptions, and this game is close even with marginal defense.

So, don’t panic. On Friday nights we don’t go for it on every 4th down because that is stupid. You don’t hair pin decision make in football, especially at this level.

Changes are needed, but we need to stop acting like a bunch of uneducated bums that do not know anything about football. Most of you never played and would not know the difference between a cover 2 or 3 or the difference between a blitz and a stunt. So relax. Be passionate, but don’t be stupid and foolish.

“As the athletic director, your job is to provide the best opportunity and atmosphere to win,” Stokan wrote in the letter to Evans, a copy of which was obtained by the AJC under the state’s Open Records Act. “Take a poll of your coach and the 72 players from the state of Georgia and see how many would rather play their arch-rival in their own backyard of Georgia in a facility called the Georgia Dome.”
A week later, Evans recommended to the UGA Athletic Association’s board that the game remain in Jacksonville for six years beyond the end of the current contract in 2010. UGA President Michael Adams endorsed the recommendation. The board unanimously agreed.

I know that Coach Richt is a good man and that he is very well liked by the UGA Nation. However, it appears that he is a much better coordinator than HC. That happens a lot and there is no shame in it. You can blame Martinez or any other coach on staff, but the real blame rests on Richt.

Richt is like the Norv Turner or Wade Phillips of college football. All three are fine gentlemen; all three fail to get the most out of their players.

The person that real needs to go at Georgia along with the DC and OC is Michael Adams. He should have been fired years ago. However thanks to the good old boy system he remains. His hand picked AD does nothing but parrot what Adams wants. The reason they have such lousy assistances in key positions, the cheap ass Adams does not want to pay on a scale with other elite program. Watch Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and Georgia Tech out recruit and continue to hire better coaches.

You Need to read the book “Behind the Hedges” Barnes and Noble carry it. Read it and afterwords tell me that Adams should still be in Athens. He is an egotistical self-adsorbed person who got ready of one of the best AD’s in football Vince Dooley and replaced him with a yes man. Until this person is gone you can forget about Georgia Football ever competing with the top tier members of the Southeastern Conference.

Lack of discipline and respect for the other players cost the Dawgs. Two very stupid personal fouls in the first half gave the game to the Gators. It’s not only the Dawgs but it’s all football divisions. You can start with Pop Warner. The players are in your face from day one. Make a play and act like an idiot. Think about it. Tebow runs the ball and is tackled. He tell the player nice play, extends his hand to ask for help up and the Georgia player just stepped over him. This is lack of respect and it comes around.

When I woke up yesterday morning, little did I know the best football I’d see played by Dawgs in Jacksonville would come from the play of my 8 & 10yr olds in their flag football games!

I’m not going to waste time b**chin I am an Athens Native, life long Dawg Fan who’s lived in Jacksonville for the last 13yrs I think anyone who watched the game yesterday knows how I’m feeling.

Here’s Mark Richt’s To Do List to get things turned around and prepare to bounce back in 2010:

1. Fire Willie Martinez NOW! He’s had TWO WEEKS to prepare a game plan and still runs his “one-size-fits-all” defense out there. Florida prepared for it and if he has ANY kind of wrinkle it’s a different game. Arkansas and Miss St GAVE him the blue print on how to slow down the gatorrs. Blitz, Blitz, Blitz! Where was it yesterday? He coaches either out of fear of change or laziness/stuborness and not willing to change. either way he must go! Let Garner take over for now and let Damon start scouting and coming up with his short list so the trigger can be pulled right after the end of the season.

2. Bench Joe Cox. The feel good movie of the week is over. He’s thrown picks in EVERY SINGLE game this year!! of the 21 turnovers this year he is reponsible for 13 of them! 12 picks 1 fumble lost that I can remember, it may be more. The season is done, start preping for next year. turn the keys over to Murray and Gray. Rip the redshirt off Murray get him some quality playing time NOW so we aren’t breaking in a QB with little or no real game experience.

3. Move R.Samuel to LB NOW!! Ealy, King and Thomas have the running game under control. Why wait til after the season. Let him start working now so when spring comes he’s praciticing effectively and not trying to learn a new position. Let him learn now.

4. Throw out whatever punishment he’s been giving for penalties it obviously doesn’t scare the players. Bring in standard office sized waste cans with each players number on it and let the players know for every stupid penalty they get they will run stadiums until the can is full! If THAT doesn’t reach them nothing will. Have the whole team watch the first set of players that have to go through it and watch the penalties disappear. I would also use this policy for off field infractions as well. There is no discipline on this team and that is the fault of the coaches not the players. Time for The UGA Football Resort and Spa to be shut down.
5. Fire every defensive position coach under Martinez. (This does not include Garner who techincally is an Asst. Head coach)
6. Watch “Remember the Titans” & “The Junction Boys” for inspiration.
Memo to CMR: The Fans, Alumni/Boosters AND Players deserve better! Don’t wait until the offseason to do what needs to be done NOW. It’s like a cancerous tumor the sooner you cut it out, the less likely it is o spread.
GO Dawgs!

I agree, whoever is the QB of the future, well, the future is now. Offensive linemen, defensive players everyone should be looked at and if they’re underachieving play someone else.

As a UGA graduate, I have been following the DAWGS since 1967. For the first time in over 40 years, I turned off the UGA/FLA game late in the 3rd quarter. I am ashamed of what this team and last year’s team have failed to accomplish. Even last year with the best QB and running back, UGA could not produce. This year’s team is much worse. Even with great players, UGA seems unable to win on a consistent basis. This has to be coaching problem. Perhaps CMR is not leader we all though he was (is).
Certainly the offensive and defensive coaches seem unable to get results like the GA teams of the past.

This lack of performance will soon impact recruiting. It is time for CMR to make a statement re the future direction for the DAWGS..Living now in Tennesse, the DAWGS are an embarrassment.

First, recruiting rankings are misleading because they can’t account for position need differences from year to year. Florida is so heavily stocked right now that they may not even use their average annual scholarship allotment in a given year.

Second, Florida specifically recruits for intangibles, the biggest being the experience of having played in a championship high school program so you know what it takes to win it all.

Hey Mark Bradley I believe you are starting to buy in to all these imposters on your blog. Mark Richts record of 10 win seasons, bowl victories, sec titles and top 10 finishes speak for themselves. Don’t talk about national titles either. Until all subjectivity (ie espn and the bias journalism majors) are out of the equation, national titles are bogus. Just two years ago when Georgia beat Florida Tebow was quoted as saying that UGA was the best team he faced all year and oh yes, that included BCS National Champion LSU.

One down year does not make a coach or a program. Mark Richt doesn’t need affirmation from you or anyone else. Mark Richt is proven!!! His reputation speaks for itself and when you write articles like this, so does yours. To say Florida is that far ahead of Georgia is in my opinion, premature.

To all you outsiders you should only hope Mark Richt is fired. I’m 50 years old so I remember thinking Georgia’s dominance over Florida in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s would never end. Florida currnetly has a great program but so does Georgia. You gators should be thankful you don’t live in a small state where you have to listen to and read a media full of transplants putting the negative spin on your school at every opportunity.

I have been a secondary fan of Georgia for a long time. They have been my second favorite team in the SEC. What your coach walked out on the field yesterday was an embarrassment to your program. Your players acted without class or responsiblity. Lots of thuggery. Did they really think they could intimmidate the Gator players? Miss. State played with execution to play close to the Gators. Same with Arkansas. Georgia came out and thought they could beat the Gators with gimmics and thuggery. How did that work for you? And I am sorry to say, Georgia does not have the athletes that Florida has. The only player on offense of defense that could start for Florida is A.J. Green, and the Gators handled him just fine yesterday. Your program has dropped a long way in two years. It will drop even further under the leadership it has now, sorry to say. And I guess Florida did not win the last 17 out of 20 because of the off week and the refs!

Before every monday morning QB comes down too hard on Richt, let’s not forget that the great Vince Dooley (I’m a fan, he’s a fellow Marine) had some lean seasons, too– In years 6 & 7 (1969 & 1970) his teams were 5-5-1 and 5-5; they were 5-6 in 1977 and 6-5 in 1979.
I don’t have the resources available to dig up all Dooley’s assistants, but Erk Russell was his defensive coach in all those years. That’s not to defend Martinez, just spouting the facts that I can find.
I’m sure Martinez needs to go. Not as sure about Bobo, but why not? Calling plays isn’t the entire OC job. Teaching them to play better is just as important and right now they’re playing like they did in high school.
As for black helmets, gag, they should have added “He Hate Me” on the back of each jersey, too. Why not go for the old silver ones. Georgia teams won a national championship with guys like Frankie Sinkwich, Charlie Trippie, et al, wearing silver helmets.

The people who are calling Richt’s departure are out of their minds. I’m certainly not a UGA fan but he’s a good man and a good coach. Like Fulmer, he has become too loyal to his assistants and it’s going to cost him. I think he’ll probably make the changes in OC and DC at the end of the season if not before. He brought UGA out of the cellar and deserves at least the chance to climb back up. He hasn’t produced a losing season yet has he?

Half of every practice going forward should be dedicated to stopping the Ham-bone. If the Dawgs get embarrassed AGAIN by Tech AGAIN, today’s uproar will seem quite mild.

I think the defensive game plan yesterday was to let Florida score easily and at will so that there would be fewer opportunities for Tebow to score from short yardage and therefore break Herschel’s record. It worked like a charm on the first two drives then, like everything else we do, it fell apart.

In order to evaluate the program…keep it simple…

1. Cox would not start for any other SEC Team

2. Our tailbacks would not start for any other SEC Team

3.. Rennie Curan..may start for Vandy..Ky…Miss.State

4. The penalty issue..being ranked one of the worst in the BCS…blame everyone…(what drives me crazy is when I see a un sportsman like penalty against us yesterday…and the guy still stays in the game)..Richt has that “so what” look on his face!

5.We are a team that plays with no maturity….jumping up and down after we score a touchdown..yet we are still losing..that is “bush league”

6. Offensively and defensively we have no attitude….

I think all UGA ticket and donors should line up next Friday at the Butts-Mehre Building and protest that we want our money back! Like buying a camera at Best Buy….It ain’t working…give me my money back!

This train wreck did not just happen..this train was and has been on course to crash for 3 years…

…look at the beatings that we have taken from top tier teams…and behold..we will not beat Ga. Tech in the near future…they have pole valuted over us….

First, there needs to be a BIG DOSE OF DISCIPLINE provided the team. How in the world do you continue to have team members picked up for DUIs and other infractions of the law, and not expect the same indiscipline on the field? It just seems that the Dawg Nation goes through the same thing — year after year! Just look at the penalties from yesterday!! Absolutely ridiculous!

Second, the coaches have to start coaching. WHO IN THE WORLD WAS WATCHING THE CLOCK when the ‘DELAY OF GAME’ call was made?? With the salary the coaching staff is receiving, they can afford to make a few crucial decisions on the field! Think that Georgia is recruiting the talent — IT JUST HAS TO BE COACHED!

Third, the coaching staff is going to have to go back to the drawing board on plays to overcome an increasingly complicated/competent SEC! Fear that Richt and staff have become complacent having had Moreno and Stafford.

Fourth, it appears that Richt is looking around to find something or someone to blame: LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

And before you fire Mark, you might want to identify a coach out there who is a) better than Mark, and b) wants to come to a school whose fans are running off a successful class act like Richt. Answer: You won’t find anybody.

I’m sorry to say Richt is a fine person but he is lost as the Coach of UGA. When you have top 10 recruiting classes every year you would think you would have a top 10 program that could challenge for the top spot. We can’t even challenge for the top spot in our conference. You know if Ray Goff for not being able to coach top talent why should Richt be spared. I’m sick of the stupid penalties. Another example of lack of coaching.

I can take an off season. I could have taken not finishing first last year (I never really thought we were a number one team last year). But it’s the way we lost last year – three blowouts, more penalties than anyone else, etc. This year is a continuation of that.

Using my Georgia tech math skills, last year dawgs lost to Florida by 39 points. This year they lost by only 24 points. Applying those numbers to a linear transformation progression analysis indicates that if dawgs maintain their current coaching staff they will soundly beat the Gators in 2020, coincidentally the same year Birmingham hosts the Olympics and Brett Favre retires after finishing his career with the Atlanta Falcons.

Gimmicks do not win games. Sound coaching and execution do. I like Coach Richt. I do not enjoy the idea of people losing their jobs. But if he is truly a top-level coach, then Coach Richt will make the tough decisions that have to be made if this is truly a top-level program or simply where mediocre coaches go to draw a paycheck. Changes need to be made. Everyone who gets paid to coach at Georgia should be ashamed at how badly they are preparing the young men who go out and pay every Saturday. I do not hate losing; I hate being embarressed by better prepared opponents. This is embarressing. Georgia has been beaten badly before they have even stepped on the field. Something as to change. A culture of mistakes and lack of discipline will not get the job done. Turnovers and penalties by the carload every game is a culture, not a bad game.

Mitch (in rome), I agree withj you however it is Mark Richt’s fault that he is attracting all of this. His pride is causing this. His mistakes at hiring the right coaches is causing this. People always say fans don’t know what they are talking about, but for the last 4 years everything they bring up is correct. Poor discipline, no motivation so he has to use gimmicks, players in the wrong positions (Brandon Miller, Kiante Tripp and now Richard Samuel), no accontibility for poor execution, a slide in strength in conditioning, no aggressiveness out of the defense, vastly underachieving on offense, poor tackling….

So which of these are NOT correct?

Do I think he should be fired? No way, if he makes the changes necessary. But I am starting to wonder if he knows what changes to make. If he doesn’t he’ll be gone next year. People are saying fire him not becaus he deserves it now, but because his pride will make it inevitable.

The real problem with Georgia is just one thing–no DISCIPLINE. at Florida, if you fumble you don’t play, if you have stupid unsportsman-like penalties, you don’t play and if you drive with a suspended

Just wanted to share with ya’ll what they are saying about UGA in Florida, bend over because this is gonna hurt———

JACKSONVILLE — Remember this for posterity purposes:

When Tim Tebow ran in for a 23-yard touchdown with 1:32 left in the second quarter Saturday, the total humiliation and domination of Georgia was complete.

It was the 50th career rushing touchdown for Tebow and propelled him past the great Herschel Walker into first place in the Southeastern Conference record book.

Historically and symbolically, SEC East champion Florida has now taken everything from Georgia.

Every last vestige of pride and passion.

The Gators have devoured every single element and entity that Georgia football once represented. The final pillar came crashing down Saturday when Herschel himself — the Big Dawg — was transcended by the Bull Gator.

As much as I hated to hear/admit it, you called it right at the beginning of the season…. except, as it turns out, 8-4 was probably a bit optimistic. As a UGA grad and lifelong fan, it kills me to see our team in such total disarray, and I have to agree with many of the posters here today that it starts at the top. Ultimately, CMR is responsible for the disarray and lack of effort seen week after week. Changes must be made across the board. No one who pays attention to Georgia football has any remaining confidence in CWM. If no significant attempt is made by CMR to right this listing ship, he will probably be gone in two years since the alumni with deep pockets (unfortunately not me!) will make their voices (dollars) heard.

Richt is a nice guy as everyone knows but when being that nice runs into football it doesn’t mix. Even in our best years with him we never have really put a beating on anyone because I’m sure he doesn’t want to hurt their feelings. If you are really pure about your football you should have the attitude Tommy Lee Jones had in The Fugitive….”I don’t care”. You need someone like Jigsaw coaching your team that is going to let them know they’ve been danced with even in a loss. We are not even close to that. There is a reason Joe Cox was not starting the previous 4 years and wouldn’t have had a chance to even be third string on a respectable team and I think we are all seeing that now.

Really? Throw the ball!!!!!

Joe Cox sucks as it is, but is Logan Gray any better? NOPE!!! Logan Gray looks like he’s in high school still!!!!!!!! Our running game was halfway decent, at least before I turned off the game.

Our dumb*ss defense kept drawing STUPID penalties!!!!! Personal fouls kill you everytime!!!!! I guess Richt isn’t working them hard enough. Our offensive lineman who got arrested this week still has a learner’s permit. A learner’s permit at 21???? REALLY?????? GEEZ!

Black helmits? What’s next? Painting the field black? Yeah b/c its all about the BLACKS!!!!! Thank you Mr. Obama. All the blacks on our team want to be in black all the damn time. Give me a break!!!!!

Look on the bright side, Souther Cal,#5, lost to Oregon,#10, by 27 points so we should be better than Souther Cal, right since UGA only lost by 24 to the #1 Gators? This all about spin since UGA just does not have the talent to compete. Tenn has blown right past UGA in one year and is now the second best team in the East. SC is next then UGA, KY and Vandy. It has been a very long time since UGA was considered to be at the bottom of the SEC.

Grambling also said that the black helmets had been embarrassed by the poor dancing, especially by a team that was on the short end of the score when dancing.

Brandon Spikes = 10 tackles, one interception for a TD, and great field leadership in the win over Georgia yesterday. All-American LB and future first round draft choice in this year’s NFL draft. Yet, just one clog in a total TEAM approach by the Florida Gators…something Mark Richt, the Georgia players, and the Georgia fans do not seem to understand. It is about team. Not recruiting or polls. It is about winning. Not talking about winning. It is about singing fight songs to your fans at the end of games after you practice extremely hard all week to prepare to do so. Meyer gets it. Richt doesn’t. Spikes and the other Florida LBs get it. Curran and the other Georgia LBs don’t. Curran and Miller were out there yesterday trying to hurt people. Spikes and his gang were out there yesterday trying to win a game together so they can play for yet another SEC title and another national championship. GOT IT?

By the way, to see what coaching does, just go over to that school that is located next to the Coca-Cola Company. Tech, right now, might be one of the best teams in the country. I don’t think that there is a team in the country that would want to play them right now. Give me four weeks to prepare and, maybe, yes. But not next week. That is some kind of offense they have. My goodness. And Georgia has to play them this year. Yikes!!!!!

Well Bulldog Nation, let me start by saying I am very upset and emotionally distraught by what I am hearing from all of you. You people must understand that coaching in the SEC is very difficult. Motivating these kids is tough. VERY TOUGH! It is not my fault that these kids are not living up to the hype and unrealistic expectations placed by you, the fans. Black helmets in record heat seemed like a good idea at the time, but even that failed to get these kids off of their butts. Penalties and turnovers you say… NOT my fault.. You know who’s fault it is? It is Saban’s and Meyer’s fault. They keep invading OUR state and taking the best players. Now we even have to deal with this new kid up in Rocky Top land who seems bent on destroying our program more than that donut guy who preceded him. As for my assistant coaches… LEAVE ‘em alone. These men work hard for much less money than me and if I fired them, who would I pass the blame to after all of these losses? Let’s focus on the GOOD about our program. We have money.. TONS of it.. When I leave later this year to return to my beloved FSU, I will be leaving a program well-funded and incredibly well stocked with over-valued 2 and 3 star recruits. What’s not to love about that?

Richt is a fine man and a good coach.

He brought UGA back to life after decades of misery.

BUT, he is not doing the job.

The penalties? – Poor coaching – plain and simple.

He is accepting mediocrity. Maybe he is too nice of a guy…

Mark Bradley is correct though, his chances of being forced out are ZERO %.

He has AT LEAST 2 years to get on track. AD Evans will give him that & probably more to see how he does with a new staff.

Wholesale changes will be made at the end of this season. Bobo is safe, but that may be about it…

The turnovers & penalties are extraordinarily problematic, as they are a sign of no discipline. Which is a sign of poor coaching, and that comes from the top.

GA looked like they had a chance to be in an Arkansas type slug-fest with the start of the 1st drive! Unfortunately, the 15 yard personal foul for ripping off the helmet killed any chance of sustaining the drive. That type of penalty is unacceptable and stupid. And it is the fault of the head coach for fostering an atmosphere that allows it…

I am anxious to see who Richt hires for defense & what he does to improve discipline ON THE FIELD.,

If things don’t change over the next 2 seasons, he’ll have to go.

I am a Gator fan. And yes, Georgia is my second favorite team (Mon & Dad went there. I also married a Georgia Peach) You have the same problem UF had when Dooley was trolling the sidelnes and we had Coach Dickey and Coach Pell. We would win one to UGA’s six or seven in a row.

Players want to play for winning programs. Florida is taking your talent from your state, Tennessee will do the same if Kiffin continues to return UT to its glory days. You’ve got great coaches at LSU, Bama, Mississippi State, What’s let will go an play for Georgia Tech.

Coach Richt is a great person however, he is an average coach in a league that has great coaches. When Florida fired Ron Zook, many – including myself, wanted the Visor to come back home. Our AD thought otherwise. He found a coach at a Non BCS school who was hungry to move into the BIG Leagues. When we hired Urban Meyer, people thought we were crazy. Five years later, we have two nationalchampionships and playing for a third. Georgia has talent … but not the coaches.

I really think the UGA could make a statement and start contending for national championhips if you roll the dice and take a chance. While I may regret this, I think you need to go an get Gill Turner, HC at the University of Buffalo. He was a great player, he is a great coach. Yes, he may be African-American but boy is he a real coach… and that is what UGA needs. The best talent will “beg” to play for Coach Turner. Auburn, for whatever reason, did not take him when they had the opportunity. The question is: Is Georgia ready to roll the dice and change its future? Florida did and we are happy with the results.

“This pains me, but I am a man of my word. Congrats UF. You clearly were the better team. We have slipped into a level i never imagined. I really thought we would give UF a close game.”

You should have taken your blinders off when you analyzed this game. You had absolutely no chance in this game.

Florida has the best defense I have probably seen in college football the last ten years. They attack and cause turnovers.

Those guys are fast, strong, and physical. If they had a conventional QB such as AJ Brantley they would be unstoppable.

Urban Meyer stays away from the defense he lets Charlie Strong do whatever he wants.

I’m a Tech alum but unlike most I pull for UGA except when they are playing us. I’m sorry people but your rants will make it easier for Richt to leave for FSU. He is the real deal as a classic college coach and you’re not going to find anyone better that doesn’t already have a top university job. Everyone should have figured out this was going to be a down year going in. I’m not saying Richt shouldn’t make some changes and from the outside looking in it sure looks as if he needs to address discipline, especially on the field. Realize what you have people and try to help your head coach improve his team not tear it down. Think of your own maturity level at college age and realize that you don’t get Staffords and Morenos every year and the NFL is not the destination for 99% of them. You have the right leader for those kids, don’t run him off.

Yellow Fuzz,
You guys have a pretty good team and, given what has transpired the last few weeks, I have to admit our chances against GT don’t look too promising. However, the game is yet to be played. It would almost take away the pain and disappointment of this season in we beat the snot out of you and send you to the All Cupcake Conference Championship with a season ending loss. Hey, stranger things have happened!
And btw, I’d love to see GT play against a top SEC defense (not talking about ours, of course) like ‘Bama, FL, LSU (Oh sorry, we saw that one last year… OUCH!). The triple option will never be competitive against a fast, good tackling defense (to which I pray UGA will someday return). You guys better learn how to implement the forward pass before thinking about taking it to the next level.

I’M TIRED OF SEEING:
…..a once honorable UGA program play dirty, cheap shots, jabbering mouths, and personal fouls aplenty…as if they’re a high school team of gangsters.
…..piles of stupid penalties every game; after year in and year out we’re told by coaches that it was “going to be addressed”.
…..the names of Georgia players on the AJC’s arrest docket.
…..an offensive line that can’t block unless they hold, waving “ole!” at opposing rushers that torpedo our QB, make numerous false starts each game, and generally look confused like Keystone Cops.
…..constant blown assignments in the secondary, opposing recievers running free without a challenger within ten yards.
……having the other team in third and long; stopping them at the line of scrimage; and then letting the ball carrier rumble for a first down anyway, because instead of tackling, our thugs are too busy trying to yank the ball out.
……of a defense that rushes only three, rarely ever blitzes/hurries/sacks the QB; and is generally letting every offense dictate play, while the Dawgs lay back on their heels hoping to react to something in time—instead of taking the game to them and forcing the other guy out of his schemes.
……no longer trying to block a punt and getting pinned deep, simply because we’ve had a player return a couple of long ones.
……a team look gassed and out of shape midway into the third quarter, and be generally man-handeled game after game, including after weeks off.
……opponents hanging 40 or more points on UGA like it’s a birthright.
……a defensive coordinator that gets embarassed on a regular basis—-but doesn’t seem to personally feel embarassed.
……stories about how the Dawgs lose in state blue chip players to rivals across the region, while the head coach is out somewhere singing missionary songs to church groups (which again begs the question, if he’s so Christian; why do his teams “testify” by playing so dirty and breaking laws around Athens?).
…..no gadget plays that one would think a clever program would install during a bye week to put their opponents off balance.
…..Richt fail to stand up like a man and take responsiblity for a program he’s let fall into an undisciplined tailspin; AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF JUST PLEDGING HE WILL.
……fans of other teams, rightfully mock us.
……several years of an obvious attitude issue in Athens; and hearing denial, seeing no change.

Folks, it can’t go on like this much longer, our once proud and might Dawgs, are a pack of weakling thugs that seem more focused on the hotties-at-da-parties than they do on playing well—-and our coaching staff appears blasé about the whole thing. As Jed Clampett would say, “pitiful…jus’ pitiful!”

Hoping some of you football fans that didn’t attend UGA but always have pulled for them will start giving GT a chance. Why? Because Paul Johnson has found a way to win despite not having a top 10 recruiting class yr after yr and with a not so top notch defense, the offense compensates for it. Johnathon Dwyer rushed for 180 yards last night and Mr. College Football as yet to even look his way as a viable Heisman candidate. Yet, Barnhard cannot praise Spiller at Clemson fast enough. I do not want to hear about Option backs are not allowed to be candidates, those days are over. It is not GT’s fault that UGA had an opportunity to hire CPJ when he was at Ga Southern and you ignored him despite two National titles. So football fans come cheer CPJ and that team on, damn the offense is exciting to watch.

I was born in Athens, have been a life long fan and am raising Dawg fans in the middle of gator country here in Jacksonville.
Just because I don’t have my head buried in the sand and expect some magical transformation to just happen doesn’t mean I’m not a true fan.
The REAL Dawg Fans are the ones NOT willing to just sit back and accept what’s happening. This isn’t just a case of a successful coach having a “down” year. There are MAJOR issues with this staff and their coaching philosophy.

Ask yourself this: Why is it that our players actually REGRESS from the time they hit campus?
Jeff Owens, Bryan Evans, Rennie Curran, Prince Miller, all played better as freshmen than they are this year! Why is this? Martinez has TWO weeks to prepare a game plan and comes out with the exact same game plan. The coaches are either lazy or unimaginative (I suspect a bit of both)

Just because some of us actually pay attention to what’s going on and don’t look at the program through rose-colored glasses DOES NOT mean we’re not “real fans” or “fair weather fans”.

The Alumni/boosters, Fans AND Players ALL deserve better than what we’re getting from these coaches.

Mark Richt……..if you keep doing the same things that you have always have done……..you are going to keep getting the same results that you have always gotten! CHANGE UP!

It starts with recruiting, you are getting beat by the other SEC coaches by your refusal to actually visit a recruit at his school or home in person, you need to quit sending you assistant coaches out to do this job! Mike Bobo cannot compete with Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Lane Kiffin, these coaches actually visit play-maker recruits in person, it makes a big difference! (they do not invite them to their campus office)

Bull Dawg Nation, you can forget about the so called star system 5 star, 3 star, NR, players these are placed on recruits by companies (Rivals, Scout, etc) trying to make money selling subscriptions! These guys are almost like your local weather meteorologists, who are only right 50% of the time but still get to keep their jobs.

Mark Richt is a very good human being and a real class act, I’m just not sure he picked the right profession. I believe the Monastery is in Conyers although the pay scale might be a little different.

When UGA was blown nearly out of the Atlanta played Sugar Bowl, we knew that CWM had not clue with spread offenses,etc. This has been a trend for years or at least since he inherited Van Gorder’s men. We have been in a huge, decline with CWM at the helm and we lack the attitude to play aggressive, winning SEC D. We stink.

Now, Richt has accepted this lack of performance on the D side of the ball and also on the O for several years, folks. Several years this has been a trend not it is where we are and what we are as a team. L-O-U-S-Y we are.

NOW? It is time for ALL of the UGA coaches to be fired. Hire a head coach now ( December ) and then, next year we possibly can have a better year and then, we will be back in the hunt maybe for the SEC East in year 2011. Make no changes ……………then we are at the level of KY and Vandy and Mississippie State and the rest. Fans will stay away in droves and droves.

Fire Richt & Co. now

Yellow Fuzz,
Good win last night over the SEC Too bad nobody saw it. Once again you’re AD is putting together season ticket packages for sale this year!. When you go to the acc championship game how many tickets will be left empty. You do have a good team but you’ve got a terrible fan base. We may be losing but at least we sell out our stadium and travel to ANY bowl game. Go to the jacket blogs and there are only about twelve bloggers. You just can’t get that many people to come to the murder capital of the USA. Our guys may get arrested but at least we haven’t had a drug traficking felony on one of our players. Get a life grow up and be thankful you’ve got Paul Johnson for another two years.

“Georgia gets all these players — I don’t know what happens to them.” Hmmmmmm… I wonder. Can all of you coaching apologists please open your eyes?? We should’ve put up a better effort against the New England Patriots with 2 weeks to prepare! Glad we took some days off and hit the weightroom for a couple more instead preparing for FLorida.

Another struggling offense starts firing on all cylinders as soon as they play the dawgs.

Recruiting..recruiting… yea, this is a critical item on the agenda. Everyone knows this. BUT, if you can’t coach the talent you have, then what happens? You can’t try to beat teams like Fla. by wearing different uniforms. You can’t beat them year in and year out by dancing in the end zone. Gimmicks always fail. Good sound coaching always nets results. Our coaching staff is completly out of their league. Spurrier said it all a few ago, when he stated about UGA: ” They get all the best players, I don’t know what happens to them”. Most of us know!!

Embarassed isn’t enough negativism about our program! As head coach, you have to make difficult decisions, decisions that affect peoples’ lives, but decisions that have to be made. With that in mind, I’ll trade all of Richt’s TRICKS for these TREATS:
1. FIRE WILLIE MARTINEZ (NOT AT THE SEASON, THIS AFTERNOON);
2. DEMOTE MYSELF TO OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR;
3. HIRE WILL MUSCHAMP AS HEAD COACH (AT WHATEVER IT TAKES);
4. DEMOTE BOBO TO QUARTERBACKS COACH;
5. HIRE KIRBY MOORE AS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR (AT WHATEVER IT TAKES).

The lost revenue of buying out or paying contracts for inept coaches will be far exceeded down the road with wins, an ecstatic fan base and donations. For me, 2009 is my last. After 30 years, I’ve had enough. Sometimes you just have to “man up” and abandon the downward spiral. This program has been in decline for the past 5 years, regardless of the records. Therefore, I’ll use my GEEF and season ticket monies to finance my campaign for the Tennessee House of Representatives, District 57, thank you very much.

Coach Ricked neeeeeeeds to sign BOTH Coach Bozo & Coach Willie “Vodka” Martini to long term contracts. ONLY THEN, can the dawgs continue to sign the 4 and 5 Star talent the program needs to prosper in future years.

I IMPLORE ALL dawg fans to be PATIENT! We have everything we need ALREADY in place!

November 1st, 2009

I doubt Richt reads these things but here goes;
An Open Letter to Mark Richt:
The program is in a shambles and has show signs of slippage since 2005. Recognize that and take your actions on that fact. Finishing number 2 a couple of years ago in a down year among other teams (national champion lost 2 games) masked the blow out loss at Tennessee and the earlier loss to South Carolina.
2. Quit the gimmicks, go back to fundamentals, blocking, tackling, discipline, etc: The gimmicks are a joke – see Tebow’s who cares comment before the game.
3. Replace your DC, a true executive and head coach would have done so after last season. Realize that if your DC stays, its you who will go after next season. He has had ample time to prove his mettle and has failed miserably. I have never seen a more poorly coached defense. Further, let the new DC pick his assistants. Also, never hire another close personal friend or family member. As one who knows, firing folks is hard enough, don’t make it more difficult through personal considerations.
4. Revamp your recruiting and refocus on Georgia as the base of your classes. In your first years that seem to be your approach. Over the last few years, your staff seems to have looked and relied more on out-of-state recruits. That does not mean passing on superior talent such as A.J. Greene, it does mean building the base of your class in state and locking other programs out of the top in-state talent. Mark Bradely is right – if our recruits are as good as advertised there is no way we should be this bad – so either our recruits are not that good or our coaching staff is that bad. Attack both possibilities.
5. Revamp your physical fitness program, way too many players are getting hurt and some of this is probably due to poor conditioning.
6. Look at retooling your offensive schemes. Modern SEC defenses are overpowering your predictable schemes.
7. Get more physical, this has been a long term problem that goes back to the early days. Part of the problem with the offensive line is lack of a physical get after them attitude. As for the defense, why be labor the obvious lack of physical play.
8. For position coaches, don’t assume that if you played and coached that you should be able to coach any position. Why do you have a former receiver as running backs coach and why allow last years’ running backs coach to coach receivers? Even more glaring, why did you hire Kirby Smart, a former Georgia all SEC safety and now Alabama DC, as a running backs coach a few years back?
9. Put your loyalty to the school, the program, and the players, and not the coaches. They are paid (adopt the Kifflin approach and pay even more to get the best) to perform, if they don’t get rid of them.
10. Do not ignore or discount the alumni and fans as you have done this year with such silly comments and nostrums on honor and being in the arena when confronted with their anger. They indirectly pay your salary and know way more than you give them credit for. They know something is very wrong in Athens and will not long stand for a stay the course attitiude and a we know better than you posture.

To Mark Bradley – I would amend your comment to be that Mark Richt has been a good coach – faced with need for staff changes and firing a close personal friend, will he continue to be or will he, like other former Bowden assistants, fail this acid test. Rumors are abounding everywhere that he promised the young defesive back recruit from Florida, who was worried about the status of the DC, that WM was not going anywhere. If that is true and WM stays, Mark Richt can no longer be considered a good head coach. After all, the classic definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Hey Tampa Gator, you forgot one other stat on Spikes. He also got an eyeball from Georgia’s RB Ealy. Class act he is.

As far as looking at Oklahoma and USC also losing and comparing the Dawgs to them we must remember that those 2 teams have won a Natl Championship of late. We cannot even mention the bulldogs in the same breath as USC and the Sooners.

Richt should get another year if he gets rid of Willie. No more years if he don’t. Chris Peterson from Boise State would come to Georgia in a heartbeat. Muschamp or Strong would also take the position. You can’t win without a good D and we have not had that for at least 4 years.

ANOTHER TIDBIT FROM THE ORLANDO SENTINEL

It seemed only appropriate that for the first time in Georgia history, the Bulldogs came out Saturday wearing black helmets with matching black pants. It was the perfect attire for a funeral. And, yes, Tebow performed the eulogy.

It went something like this:

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today with empty hearts and tearful eyes to mourn the death of a once-proud rivalry. As we lay the casket into the ground here on the forlorn shores of St. Johns River, let us bow our heads, pray and say goodbye to Florida-Georgia.”

You know the rivalry is dead when Georgia has to resort to changing its color scheme in a futile attempt to change its mojo. The Gators, of course, paid as much attention to Georgia’s headgear as they would to Charleston Southern’s footwear.

The UGA players didn’t go to Jax intending to lose. They were out played by a much better team with better players. Coaching is an issue but how many UGA players, other than A.J. would be starting for UF? It all starts with talent and just maybe UGA has a lot less than we thought.

Dawgs73

Another year of absolute embarrassing play and we had two weeks to prepare…ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! The bottom line is Mark Richt is not getting the job done. He is the CEO of this program and he has made some woeful coaching decisions. He hired his buddy Wille Martinez to take over after Van Gorder left. That was clearly a decision that was not made on statiscal merit. He hired Mike Bobo to be his offensive coordinator when there were clearly better options available. Richt does not like being overshadowed by his coaches and if given the decision, he will keep this same staff in place next year and beyond.

I hate to say it, but it’s time for Damon Evans to put pressure on Mark to make changes (at both coordinator positions). If he denies Evans request, then it’s time to move in another direction with another coach.

Well, you can say a lot about the poor performance. Sufficed to say, we aren’t very good. I will leave that to others. But now, however, we are failing at even the things we can completely control, ie. what uniforms we wear. That black helmet get up was ridiculous. Not only did it scream of desperation, going back to failed ploy that didn’t work last time against Bama, it was just plain ugly. For most of my 40 years, Georgia football is/was winning, silver britches and the red helmets. Not anymore. Like running the ball and tough defense, you can add uniform choice to the list of traditions we have discarded. The combined result: a mediocre ACC, Pac-10 type outfit. As a CMR supporter, it really troubles me. The decline that began in the 2nd half of the Bama game last year has begun to accelerate. CMR won’t be our coach in 4 years.

It is sad about Cox. The reason he wasn’t brought along fast enough is that the Dogs cannot put a team away. If we could ever get a big enough cushion then the younger guys could get some playing time. Our Defense prevents this from happening. The only time our backups play is when we are so far behind there is no hope of winning. We see the position that Grey was put in yesterday. Did he gain anything from that. I think not.

Look at Tennessee now and look at our house keeping…..Why I am having to say this, is the most appalling thing in itself.

Mike Adams won’t leave….The Token Athletic director won’t leave and Coach Richt won’t do anything.
Maybe since our season tickets just keep shooting through the roof, we should just just leave for awhile until some of the above gets taken care off.

I read this stuff every Sunday morning, I really don’t understand UGA fans. They seem to have some insane notion that by complaining constantly about the coaching staff they can cause changes in those positions and yet the very next Saturday, they fill the stands with 92,000+ people who actaully believe this program is going to change! Halarious! Damon Evans laughs all the way to the bank with all your money (so does CMR) and nothing is going to change until that does. If you go to a restaurant and have a bad meal, you don’t keep going back. That makes you the idiot.
You guys need to grab reality. The University of Florida has established one of the premier athletic programs in the country (check the Sears Cup standings). They do what is neccesary to have winning programs in all areas. Why does that fact bother UGA fans. If you blindly support the product that Evans and CMR are selling, then you should not complain. Georgia has lost 17 out of the last 20 years because UGA fans believe that is good enough. Gator girl is right. Georgia has had a tradition of mediocre coaches and the tradition of supporting them until its to late (Goff, Donnan now Richt).
Mark Richt realizes that he is entrenched at Georgia. Because of that, he has lost his ability and desire to coach up these athletes like he did in the his early years at Georgia.

One more time for those of the Dawg nation-NO, you will only go to Atlanta one time this year. there is absolutely no chance of your playing for the SEC championship. GREAT!! The Dawgs are one of the most hated teams in America. Why-because of their antics like runniong on the field after scoring a touchdown and dancing in this year’s game –even though they were still behind. Their trash talking and lack of any shread of sportsmanship is truly dispicable!! It is not Richt, nor the coordinators-it is the bunch of mindless idiots you have playing for you. Do you think that the Ga coaching staff hasn’t covered the basics like not trying to run out from deep in the end zone on punts, kickoffs and interceptions. All these five star recruits you have all think they are the “MAN” and don’t have the brain power to light an electric bulb if their brains were hooked together in series. Such a classless and narcissitic lot. And you complain about all the unsportsmanship penalties they have only when they get their sorry asses handed to them by the chompers every year. As long as you are in the division with Florida, Tenn, and now include SC(which should have beaten your sorry asses this year), you will NEVER be playing for the BCS championship.

Lack of discipline. That sums up UGA. Discipline starts from the top.

In FSU, and Miami’s hey days they overcame lack of discipline because they were the first program’s going after pure speed and athletes. They had more talent than any other programs, but you still had the Penn State’s, Ohio State’s, and Alabama’s topple them. Now every top program has speed and athletes. Solid fundamental football will always be an important key to success.

When a team plays, and is coached to play like thugs. This is what you get. I don’t think CMR knows any other way of coaching football. Remember whom his mentor is, and what kind of shape he is in.

Georgia keep on doing what you doing by OVERLOOKING TALENT for these SO-CALLED 4 AND 5 STAR PLAYERS THAT YOU GIVE ALL THE ATTENTION TO AT YOUR CAMPS. From experience I was at a BULLDOG SENIOR CAMP and FRIDAY NIGHTS LIGHTS OUT CAMP and saw from my own EYES. Where a player with NO STARS OUTSHINE A player with 4 or 5 stars. I saw a linebacker that GEORIA RECRUITED and sign get yelled at because he could cover a back out the backfield during 7on7. Willie, BOBO, RODNEY gave all the teaching and love to the 4 and 5 star so-called players. People just go to the one day camp and you will see for youself, because the problem with Georgia is Grading Talent. Then they need to look for player who show and lead by example on and off the field. They don’t need anymore SELFISH players that think about their self.BECAUSE BIG TIME PLAYERS SHOW UP FOR BIG TIME GAMES THEY DON’T GET SHUT DOWN THEY FIND A WAY TO WIN THE BIG TIME GAMES.

Mark Richt is a great man, but I think he has lost his intensity and passion for UGA football. Probably tired of dealing with the thugs he has to recruit and the redneck fan base. Martinez should have been fired a long time ago, but Richt is too loyal. If Richt refuses to improve his staff he will have to go.

For all you idiots that think Iowa or any Big Ten football team can beat the SEC champ, what college football have you been watching the last several years? Forget about it! The UF / Alabama winner will absolutely smoke any Big Ten team and will be a waste of time watching. I hope Texas wins out, so the SEC can shut the Big 12 fans up too. USC was again exposed tonight for the farce they are, but will probably remain in the top ten thanks to the idiot voters.

The SEC is very top heavy (UF, AL, LSU), but still the best overall football conference and the high level of competition produces a champion that will defeat whoever they play for the NC.

GT is very good this year and if the top juniors (Thomas, Dwyer, Burnett, and Morgan) come back for their senior year, GT will play for the NC next year!

THWG! 45-42 just the beginning and I can’t wait till 11/28 – bring your pink helmets pups.

Can a team not have ONE rebuilding/down year following giving up 2 of the top 12 draft picks while playing 16 FRESHMAN and one of the hardest schedules in the country without it meaning something bigger and questioning the whole program??????????????

Really BRADLEY and others, this is a joke!

LSU had a 5 loss season last year,

the “great” GATORS LOST 5 games the year after losing Chris freakin Leak even with all mighty Tebow,

Oklahoma has lost 3 or 4 this year, USC just got stomped and has lost 2, OSU has lost a few, UT has had several LOSING seasons, VaTech has lost 3 games

Yes there needs to be a change at D-Coordinator, and some philosophy changes

BUT teams are going to have some down/REBUILDING years, it is IF they don’t bounce back that is the problem..If it happens a couple years in a row then there is a problem

#2 and #10 the last 2 seasons, lose some key players and play a bunch of young ones have a rebuilding season, now let’s see how they answer it

Georgia was obviously out-coached by the Florida coaches, but CMR will not make the necessary improvements because he doesn’t recognize a problem. He doesn’t see that his coordinators are out done as an indictment on his coaching staff or their numerous penalties as even a slight problem. So UGA fans, don’t expect sweeping changes because CMR does not recognize a problem.

I vote for Coach Richt. He is a good coach who can get the team to the next level. What need to happen first is that he needs a change in perspective. No, he doesn’t need to emmulate Urban Cryer or Nick Satan. He just needs to hire new people around him…people who perhaps don’t always reflect himself and who have passion and a smackmouth mentality. I know Richt played football and knows how to play hardnosed…but he was a QB. Get somebody like a younger Mike Singletary to coach. Get some former NFL players on the staff. Get guys who need Richt to temper their passion. Then I believe they will see recruits differently and call plays differently. Richt’s loyalty will then not be wasted.

Okay that was bad. We had a bye. Florida should have been tired, but we still got blown out. WOW this is a bad team. When Tech scorches our Defense is Richt going to fire Martinez? When Aurburn beats us 45-20 will that be enough. What’s enough? I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

For all of the “sidewalk” dawg fans (i.e. “sidewalk” defined as non-graduates of UGA), it is time to end your life on the Dark Side.

Become ‘Bama (or whatever) fans in the SEC, but for LOCAL college football in Atlanta, join us to see a well-coached team at GT!

LOTS of Georgia Southern fans are following the Jackets now … you non-UGA grads can join us as well!

Mark Bradley has clearly captured how quickly the UGA football has fallen in such a short time. Georgia has the talent, but the talent is not developed. I am not certain that Urban Meyer would have been able to beat UF with UGA’s players, but I am confident that he would have been in the game the past two years. He is simply a better coach, and he expects (and gets) more from his players than Richt does. Richt has lost the fire in his belly and has resorted to gimmicks to compensate for lack of preparation. Changing helmets and uniforms does not change the fact that the program is on decline, that the defense is pathetic, that the offense is predictable, that the special teams are not special, that the Bulldogs are one of the most undisciplined and most penalized teams in the nation, and that other second (and third) echelon teams in the SEC have caught up with Georgia. The physical and financial resources at Georgia are second to none in the SEC. Georgia has a great tradition, but the reputation is returning to the Ray Goff era. Georgia went into last season as the preseason no. 1 and was humiliated on national television by Alabama and then was embarrassed by UF in Jacksonville. This loss occurred with two first round NFL draft choices on offense. Paul Johnson comes to Georgia Tech, installs a brand new offense, and begins winning immediately. Georgia needs to wake up and realize that the major changes are needed to resurrect its now mediocre program.

But I read one post that cracked me up on page 1 about great SEC coaches have tater chip commercials and CMR doesn’t have a tater chip commercial.Funny stuff.

This is all Ray Goof’s fault…
It’s sort of like wrestlin’ – you NEVER let the bad guy get up off the mat.

Seriously, if Richt can’t make the decision to fire his coordinators, then replacing the head coach has to be considered. As mentioned, lots of good candidates out there at smaller schools, and also, there is a guy sitting at home named Tuberville.

Did anyone notice the play where a Florida defender stuck his hand inside of Ealy’s facemask while he was under a pile of players? It looked like a clear intent to injure a defenseless player and the sort of thing deserving of a season long suspension.

Several years ago Richt came up with the inspirational idea that he would become the Chief Executive Officer of the UGA football program and delegate all of the hands-on work to his coordinators. Now he has morphed into being the Chief Exasperation Officer of Dog Nation. When he came in, we were in the middle tier of the SEC East trying to break into the top tier. Now we are desperately trying to keep from sinking into the bottom third of the division. It is time to clean house and find some people who know how to coach college football players before we replace Vandy as the perennial bottom feeder of the SEC East.

Bradley is painfully honest and intuitive in this assessment. I keep wanting to revisit the celebration penalty with LSU, which TB found so offensive. I think the refs penalized Georgia on a poor, but earned, reputation that was plainly shown Saturday with a team totally out of emotional maturity and control. The black stuff worked once on a depleted Auburn team at home, two years ago, why would you need to add any more incentive to this game than Florida is over there and they usually kick your butts. Martinez is a recruiter first and coach second. He is a salesman and his defenses consist of smack talk and out of position players trying to lay the wood to anyone in the other team’s uniform,with the results on the score board the last thing on the players mind. You’ve got a bunch of spoiled players at Georgia on both sides of the ball and given a choice the refs will go against you ever time, they don’t like the way you conduct yourself. I am sure a microphone on the field would be an eye opener. Georgia is going to beat somebody once they get all this macho crap out of their heads, they have the talent to play with anybody. Now that it is not Florida they will probably be down to room temperature to beat Tech. I was hoping so bad they would beat Florida, now Auburn and Tech have to face the sober team with talent. Even sadder Georgia fans will have to watch how good this team could have been will some real coaching, which is not always Xs and Os and recruiting talent.

I have been a proud Bull Dawg for 45 years, but I am totally ashamed to wear Red and Black. Everyone has been saying the problem is Willie. It goes deeper, or should I say higher. Richt does not have the balls to address the problem. Richt has been on the job too long. It is time for him and all his loser assistants to hit the road. Changing jerseys to black, then dance on the field, then change the helmets to black is high school crap. We need a change in coaches, not a change in jerseys or helmets.
