Even as Richt focuses on Tech, there’s a grim big picture

In the grand scheme, the Kentucky loss should be a blessing. It should yield the sort of clarity needed when quality control has slipped. A coach can fool himself for a while, but when he loses at home to Kentucky after leading by 14 points, he has to acknowledge the obvious. Doesn’t he?

Even as he approached a game against the best team in the state his Georgia Bulldogs long ruled, Mark Richt still wouldn’t address the greater issue, at least not on the record. “I’ve never been one to focus on several things at one time,” he said Wednesday. This week he would speak only of Georgia Tech, saying, “My feeling right now is on the next game; it’s such a crucial game for our program.”

But there he’s wrong. Beating Tech might mean the difference between a bowl in Nashville and one in Shreveport, but winning at Bobby Dodd Stadium won’t cure the systemic ill. On the contrary, it might offer Richt another reason not to change, and if that’s the case, this would be the one time when beating an in-state rival proved injurious to a program’s long-term health.

Because Georgia must change to keep pace, not just with Tech but with Tennessee and Kiffin and Auburn and Chizik. (Forget Florida and Alabama and LSU — they’ve already lapped the Bulldogs.) And it isn’t a one-year blip, as apologists insist, but a trend. In the first five seasons under Richt, Georgia played for the SEC title three times, winning twice, and had a record of 52-13. In these past four seasons, Georgia hasn’t reached the conference championship game and is 36-14, having gone 2-2 against Kentucky.

Think hard about that last part. Vince Dooley lost four times to the Wildcats in a quarter-century of coaching. Ray Goff lost once to Kentucky in six tries, Jim Donnan once in five. Richt has now done it twice. It’s one thing to lose to Florida, as Richt has managed seven times in nine tries, something else again to lose to a basketball school.

Asked about the need for change in his program on the SEC teleconference this week, Richt instead dissected the Kentucky loss. “Turnovers were the story of that game,” he said. “If it was zero-zero in turnovers or we’d have won the turnover battle, that’s a different game.” And it’s true that Georgia had four turnovers to Kentucky’s none, but ultimately Richt seemed to concede the futility of his argument: “Of course, you can’t throw out the turnovers.”

And you can’t. There’s no reason Georgia should be giving the ball to a lesser team four times without once being able to snatch it back. There’s no reason Georgia should be next-to-last in the nation in turnover margin, no reason it should rank 116th among 120 teams in penalties. Richt and his staff have stopped coaching effectively and have begun to rely on recruiting to see them through, and when you lose to Kentucky you see why recruiting is never enough. (If it were, Ron Zook would be Urban Meyer.)

No matter what happens against Tech, Richt will have to change his staff and his approach if he hopes again to play in the Georgia Dome for anything more than a Chick-fil-A Bowl trophy. Is there one Bulldog assistant who has gotten the most from his charges? Mike Bobo? Jon Fabris? John Jancek? Stacy Searels? Dave Van Halanger? Willie Martinez?

Forget this staff’s perceived February successes; even Rodney Garner, the chief recruiter, has insisted: “I’m a coach who recruits,” and not the other way around. But even with the gifted freshmen on campus — Branden Smith, Orson Charles, Washaun Ealey, Rantavious Wooten, Aaron Murray, Marlon Brown — is there any assurance they’ll flourish under these coaches?

Mark Richt is a smart man. He has to realize declining results call for an upgrade in standards. He has to know the only way back to the pinnacle of the SEC isn’t to stay the course but to change the navigators. He has to grasp this. Doesn’t he?

364 days ago today

By the time Roddy Jones finished tightroping his way down Georgia’s sideline, the dog nation had been put in their rightful place from pre-season national champion to real-season state runner up.

There were many big plays in Georgia Tech’s 45-42 victory over georgia (Tech’s new bitch) at Sanford Stadium (Tech’s home away from home) last season. But none was bigger than Jones’ 54-yard, game-winning touchdown run with 7 minutes, 13 seconds remaining.

Cheers ring out every time the run is played on Tech’s scoreboard during games. There are more than a dozen versions of it on Youtube.com that have been watched more than 40,000 times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLlAAkUYZ1Y

It capped a comeback from a 28-12 halftime deficit (that’s 16 points if you are a Georgia fan). It came with a little more than 7 minutes remaining and really put an exclamation mark on a third quarter beat down/fourth quarter bitch slapping that has silenced all but the rabid azzholes of the dog nation for an entire year.

I’m sure FSU would jump all over Coach Richt should the Adams family decide to make a incredibly stupid decision to fire him. I’m not a fair weather fan, been a Dawg since the 60’s and lived thru some years where I thought we’d never get back anywhere close to the top but the Coach some idiots are trying to get rid of brought us back there and I really believe will get us back. GT enjoy your short lived good fortunes cause once the NFL takes your prime players this year we will be reading about you again in the Funny Papers.

MB: you and your cohort at AJC have been determined to keep the negative press and pressure on UGA and Richt. At this point, it is obvious that changes will be made on his staff. It is a business and tough decisions will be made. What is unfortunate is that each decision affects more that a ‘name’ as a coach you read about in your columns. For every change that is coming – the man’s wife and kids life will be impacted. Changes are coming – more than we probably know. What is done is done. Enough of the kicking these guys when they are down.

Has anyone analized the turnovers and by whom. My memory may be incorrect but I think the vast majority of them have been by young and inexperienced players (Frosh, r-Frosh and no game time 5th yr seniors). Could be we fail to realize that we are that young. Let me know guys.

I think that something has probably been worked out behind the scenes for Martinez’s departure. I may be going out on a limb here but What I think we MAY happen is a lucrative buyout of Willie’s contract, he resigns and is possibly replaced by Tommy Tubberville. His background is primarily in defense and he and Coach Richt are close friends. I love your articles Mark, does this scenario seem far fetched?

The fact that the rivalry is back should be a celebration dog fans!!
I like to beat the “trembling Chihuahuas” and changing their coaching staff after they loose…is not going to help in the next year or two.

Get used to loosing to Tech, (you were already used to loosing to FL, LSU & AL), the new Tech boss is in town and just for fun look at the indicators:
1- GT wins with less “star” power.
2- GT is recruiting for defense, this was our “weak” game, wait for the next two years when we have a solid group of players on defense and the “high school offense” gets the recruiting players that you’ll said “wont go to Tech”.
3-GT has the better coach, there is just no more to be said here.
4- GT team is primarily juniors, they will be seniors next year (no guaranty to improve here) but the odds are in our favor.
5-Dogs will be training a new coaching staff next year, and a new QB. Not good!

But I do wish you the best in the changes to come, as a solid UGA team will be a better win for GT at the end of the season and competition makes for fun rivalry…see you Saturday pups, WE ARE WAITING your “chihuahuas” at North ave.

I believe you are right about the cycle , but I am also afraid that UGA is in a down cycle of several years if for no other reason the QB situation you are very right about stafford hurting the team the most ,and what are we looking at next year for a QB nobody knows.
I think Auburn , and Tenn are on the up cycle , Fla and Ala cant maintain their current level and their coaches are liable to move on . Kentucky is better but still Kentucky vandy is a very clean college , ark is going to be tougher than people think , south carolina will continue to be middling , i think the next few years will be ripe for a team like auburn ,tenn, or ga to make a run. Of those three i believe Tenn is the most likely to impload .

Mark we have issues and we need change.

Alabama and Florida have clearly moved ahead. But tell me again how LSU has lapped us? We split with them the past two years, mauling them in Baton Rouge and losing a close, nail biter with more than a questionable call to boot in Athens.

LSU is 12-2, 8-5 and 8-3 over the past 3 years. Georgia is 11-2, 10-3 and right now 6-5. This has been an awful season. But I think most Tiger fans would agree, that they have their own issues. Big ones starting at the head, not the assistants.

I understand your gloom and doom for Georgia. It has been that way for weeks now…about the time you quit telling us that defenses had figured out Paul Johnson’s offense. But lets not embellish on what is admittedly a difficult situation.

In some ways Bradley is on the Mark. But LSU “lapping” Georgia? I don’t think so. LSU got a gift from Marc Curles and Michael Watson this year at UGA, then squeaked by Mississippi State. As for Alabama, check their 5 or 8-year record. There are some holes there. Bradley has successfully laid out the “Chicken Little” scenario. Bradley is the best at one thing: BEING NEGATIVE!

Shock value. Write exclusively for the big hits. Geez….

How many times do we have to talk about the same thing over and over? At the very least, we will have a new defensive coordinator and I’m betting we will have 1-2 more new assistants as well.

This is a huge game, Mark, not because of bowl implications. It’s because another win for Tech means they finally have a winning streak against us. It means when you talk about best teams in Georgia, Tech will have to start the discussion, not the Dawgs. Win this game and Georgia fans can be comforted that even though we’re at our deepest depths and Tech is at it’s highest point, they still can’t take us over. That’s why it’s huge.

Herschel Talker: It will get better, buddy. Mandel is wrong in his article. I truly believe just a few coaching changes with the assistants will turn this around quickly. Especially def.coordinator.

I’m sick of hearing from bulldog fans that are complaining about other bulldog fans because they are complaining about the losing and the poor coaching with perceived talent that is supposed to be superior to teams like tech and Kentucky. VanGorder was a big reason we were competing at a higher level nationally in the past. Richt is a good coach but who cares if he can’t find assistants that do their job. You supposedly die hard ga fans wake up. The rest of us are still Ga fans but we know that something has to be done. I wish Richt had half the balls that Paul Johnson does. He is the man! I’m not a tech fan but I am a Paul Johnson fan. What’s funny about tech fans is that most of them don’t even know they have a football team until they win a couple of games and even then most of them don’t know who their players are…Sorry that’s true. Fire Willie Martinez and everything else will fall into place.

Several random thoughts:

1. My first doubts about this staff date back to DJ Shockley’s senior season. Poor coaching decisions cheated DJ out of the chance to lead two potentially game-winning drives: first, against Auburn (coaches let AU run last minute off clock at goal-line instead of allowing score and putting ball back in DJ’s hands); and second, against West Virginia in the Sugar (coaches let a slow Germanic punter run 20+ yards for 1st down on a fake punt with no one covering the fake, again taking the ball out of DJ’s hands with 90+ seconds to go and the game on the line). For all the praise of DJ’s character that year and others, the coaches totally dropped the ball and hosed him–otherwise, DJ just might have led a one-loss (to UF, only because Joe T couldn’t quite get it done) team that year. Nice coaching.

2. Speaking of fake punts, do we have a scheme for defending them at UGA? Why are they so successful against us? Do we actually play 11 guys on special teams plays? Or do we just put 7 out there?

3. When was the last time our defense played with outright meanness? I mean, like “Nick Saban is going to call your momma the nastiest things he can think of if you don’t hit and wrap” meanness? The 1980’s?

4. When was the last time our O-line absolutely roadgraded another good team? Why do our O lineman so often (a) get injured, (b) leave the program, (c) not live up to their hype, (d) seem to regress or (e) have to be shuffled from spot to spot? Why do we always seem to be short on quality OLs?

5. Even though the schedule lightens next year, does anyone think a freshman with no snaps can help us win more than 8 games next year? Even with the embarassing riches on offense? Even Peyton had a tough rookie campaign at Tenn, and I don’t think we have a Peyton in the stables at UGA.

6. One optimistic note: we are a tipped ball vs. SC, an AJ block vs. ASU and a Cox career night at Ark away from being 3-8. But for all the abyssmal performances, we should have won vs.UK, basically got hosed vs. LSU and were a couple of plays from turning the Okie State game in our favor–all of which would have left us 9-2 now. Some teams (think Iowa) play poorly and nevertheless win all those games. We didn’t this year. With the right 2 or 3 assistants, how does this year change?

7. The Jackets are already strutting (can nerds strut?) and slapping their pocket protectors. No upset predictions here, but what do you do if you are a Trade Schooler and you lose this game? How do you face yourself Sunday morning?

I watched the Texas/Texas A&M game last night with probably a bunch of you folks. Not one flag was thrown for excessive celebration or even flipping the ball in the air after a terrific catch or run….so I pose this question to all including MB – do you think that college conference referees need to all use the same handbook?

Clearly – and I know I will get grief over this – would the Ga-LSU call have changed the direction of the Ga program, really made that much of a difference, or does Ga have a celebration target on its’ back from last year?

And that was a good Turkey day college football game last night!

If you left it up to the people who blog, Pete Carrol would be fired, Jeff Fisher with the Titans would have been long gone, Oklahoma would be searching for a new coach, etc. I agree changes need to be made. We need a defensive coordinator who knows how to pressure, knows how to cover, and know how to make adjustments. We need a special teams coach who understands how to cover kickoffs. But, isn’t it a bit premature to turn the entire program upside down. One thing I am sure of. Mark Richt’s charactor or his religious beliefs are not the problem. I don’t know why I even read these blogs. It’s either juvenile, or negative, or hate.

Haven’t heard anything about Tuberville. Other than Kirby Smart the only other name I have heard tossed about from inside the program is Tommy West, who would be an excellent choice. He’s a tough, no nonsense, fundamentally sound defensive guy that would be capable of bringing back the attitude and discipline this group of players needs.
