Audience participation: Got a question for Todd Grantham?
I’m headed to Athens on Friday for Todd Grantham’s first media session. (In case you’ve been living on a satellite, he’s Georgia’s new defensive coordinator.) I have some questions in mind – “When you were with Dallas, did you ever meet Jessica Simpson?” — but I thought I’d be interactive about this and ask if any of y’all had any.
Understand: I’m not promising I’ll ask them all, or even a half-dozen. But I’ll try to squeeze in one or two, and I’ll let you know what he says in response. And I, being my generous self, will give you credit.
I’m leaving about 9 a.m., and the session is at 11. So if there’s something you’d like to offer — “Coach TG, will recruiting change now that Georgia will be playing the 3-4?” — please avail yourselves ASAP. As always, I thank you in advance.

Is he used to reporters that blow every positive and negative thing way out of proportion?

Ask him:
If he coaches from upstairs or on the sidelines, what he perfers.
Also besides Al Groh, what other D coaches does he admire.

Are you going to be issuing any Fatwa’s? Would you name your defense the Jihadi Jackals?

736624143024…welcome aboard coach…do we really need all eleven players to get tired out or can we rest a few against tech…we didn’t have a defense or a good coordinator last year according to all the flagboy fans from bobby dodd field and somehow managed to win…shouldn’t we just play maybe 8 or nine players and give Paul’s Johnson a chance to display that marvelous wishbone offense of his..lmfao…course “what has georgia done since 1980″ direct quote from the disrespectful coach Paul Johnson

I believe chem’s question is most important, concerning “quirky” offenses such as the spread and option offenses, as we can see the wild hawg is having a pretty good success rate at the next level, but then again guys like Tebow are few and far between.

If I only get one of those eight questions, ask him where he stands on a$$ painting little dogs that are trying their best to be a good mascot. Follow up by asking if he will support me for permanent mascot and remind him I am undefeated against Tech and in Bowl games. Ask him if he thinks Coach Bobo is due for a raise about now.

Coach Grantham, could we get any insight into who the last defensive assistant may be?
Best of luck, coach; welcome to Bulldawg Nation – we’ve been waiting for you.

Another questions to make him squirm, ask him if he feels that uniform shake-ups are an effective motivational tool.

I never got “hunkering” down. I’m a real dog, but I never could hunker down like some of the fans do here at Sanford Stadium. Sometimes, you’ll come in to the stadium and they’re all hunkered down in their own vomit and they are barking and slobbering and rolling around on the ground and hollering, “Go Dawgs”. That’s when I go to my dog house and hide my face. Those young women need to behave better. If they are running this state we are in trouble. If I am chosen as permanent mascot I will work on my hunkering but I want you to know I have my dignity even with a painted a$$.

Please ask Grantham if he’s ever seen or heard your typical Tech fan. An anger management class might help prevent him from killing a goober.

He’s been in Texas, right? Ask him if he has a pair of hob-nail boots. And ask him if anybody’s ever stepped on him with one. Tell him I want the full time job as mascot and I want better benefits.

Actually I have a bulldog for a pet, and if you have ever tried to move a bulldog when he doesn’t want to move OR played tug-o-war with one, you’ll find out where HUNKER DOWN comes from in a hurry

Ask him if he can stop the wishbone and if he can, will he give it to me? Ask him if this is his first job where he is more important to the program than the head coach and how long does he plan to be an assistant here before taking over?

If he can make a sorry azz player like me from Tech a good player (even the Falcons cut me) then everyone better watch out – GA’s D will rule -

coach smith, we put up 30 points on your defense in that game. We had no defense is what cost the game.

Ask him if Georgia had good negotiators or if they caved in on the $750,000 out of desperation. Ask him if he gets reserved parking and where will Coach Richt park now?

did he watch the Tech/Iowa Bowl game? did He watch how the Iowa defense covered up the QB with up field pressure and had the “pitch to” man covered up and all Nesbitt could do was fall behind the line.
Man, it was beautiful.

Ask him if a little dog can come home with him and if he will comb my a$$. Ask him if he’s going to shave his head and beat it against the new black helmets to fire up the team. Ask him if he’s got any of those new sunglasses yet from Coach Richt. Ask him if Coach minded giving up his office to the new guy.

Ask him what he is looking for in the two outside linebackers in his 3- 4 scheme.
Same for the two DE positions.
Thanks

Ask him if they had him fill out an application or just breathe on a mirror. Ask him if he spoiled the first one. Ask him if he likes little dog mascots.
UGA FOOTBALL DEFINES UNDERACHIEVEMENT
January 22nd, 2010
9:33 am
Most would agree that UGA has the second best recruiting pool in the SEC. In the last 25+ years the Bulldogs have captured but two SEC Championships. Many many other programs have accomplished so much more in that same time span with less recruiting advantages. Therefore is it fair to call UGA one of the most UNDERACHIEVING programs in college football? Why do you think so many people running the show and so many fans accept this? Do you think the Bulldogs will ever reach their true potential and stay there? How can this be done?

The reason Groh got went to Tech is Johnson looked better than Parcels in a push up.

Why he came to Georgia….your kidding, right…….Ok, you’re a lawyer working in the DA’s office in Cobb County for $73,362.85 a year…….King and Spalding offers you a Management Law position in their firm for $ 525,000. Get back to me when you decided. GEEZ…….
