(Updated 2:30 p.m.)
Athens — OK, you can officially remove another name from the list of candidates for Georgia’s open defensive-coordinator job: Vic Koenning was introduced as Illinois’ new defensive coordinator at a press conference in Champaign, Ill., this afternoon.
While Georgia discussed its DC job with Koenning, his reported salary with Illinois — $325,000 — would suggest UGA didn’t aggressively target him. That’s almost the same salary Willie Martinez was making ($325,815 plus bonuses), and indications are that Georgia is prepared to go well beyond that figure for the right hire.
“There was some dialogue [with Georgia],” Koenning said at today’s press conference, “and it made for an interesting last 16, 18 hours, you might say. But when push comes to shove, the character and the drive and the enthusiasm that [Illinois] coach [Ron] Zook exhibited makes sure there was no doubt in the outcome.”
A couple of hours before Illinois’ press conference, Georgia coach Mark Richt passed when asked to shed light on Georgia’a interest in Koenning.
“I think everything is just –- this whole search stuff -– I’ll just say there is nothing to shed,” Richt said. “I’ve got nothing to shed on it.”
Richt did not signal that his search is any closer to resolution than on Wednesday, when he said it might last into the new year. He noted that many prospective candidates are committed to completing the season with their current teams. That would apply to college coaches whose teams are in bowls, as well as to NFL coaches.
“It’s just a really crummy time of year to be trying to do what we’re doing here,” Richt said, “but that’s just part of it right now.”
He did say Georgia’s three staff openings are generating a lot of interest.
“I know I’ve got a stack of stuff [from] an awful lot of people,” he said. “It’s more than just the D-coordinator job too -– there are lot of position coaches looking –- but we’ve got to get the D-coordinator thing squared away before we move forward to anything else.”

Valdosta Dawg – Quick question – UGA is, at best, a second tier SEC team and if things take a small step in the wrong direction, UGA will be third tier. You can argue, say it isn’t so, and attack the messenger, but anyone who watches college football knows that. Having said that, why on earth would smart leave an Alabama program which is on the rise, better run, better supported, and essentially superior in every way to UGA? Because he played at UGA? Hmmm, seems like if he is going to leave BAMA it will be for a head job. Seems unlikely he desires a big (big) step back. Bama’s last title—-which seems forever ago–was in the early 1990’s–way after UGA’s title. And, Bama fans never talk about that one. Yet, dawg fans live off of 1980, as does the crusty coach who rode Walker to that title. Kind of sad. Hopefully, UGA will remain above Miss State and Vandy, but that is certainly not a given.

Honestly, I don’t understand all of the hubaloo about Kirby Smart. Do any of you honestly think he’ll get a head coaching job at a BCS school w/o being a REAL DC and proving himself, first??? We all know that that defense at Alabama is Saban’s and his alone. If Smart were to go to UGA, or any other school for that matter, and were to be allowed to have full control over a defense, and were to be successful at it. THEN he might become a HC, in a few years at least.
With all of the talent at UGA it seems like a natural to me. Why stay at Bama and continue to be under Saban’s shadow??

“With all of the talent at UGA it seems like a natural to me. Why stay at Bama and continue to be under Saban’s shadow??”
- He currently has the best defense in the country,
- No rebuilding period, thus quicker route to head coaching gig,
- Broyles Award mitigates the “Saban’s shadow” argument IMO
You could be right though; UGA does have serious (underutilized) talent to work with. And sometimes when mama calls…
Jimmy
December 23rd, 2009

Zombie,
My point is that he’ll be closer to becoming a HC of his own program by building up some team’s defense from the ground up. Nobody will hire this guy because he hasn’t faced any adversity as Bama’s DC. Saban wasn’t always the coach he is today. How one deals w/ adversity is how you become a HC. Smart needs the challenge of leading his own defense, whether it be at UGA or elsewhere. Saban will always be over the defense at Bama.

LAME.
You still got this old blog up after all these weeks ?
Get a DIFFERENT JOB.
I should also like to discuss GIFTS.
I decided to look up the recruiting for 2010, now that the schools have the commitments that they will have for signing day in a few weeks.
Georgia Tech has ZERO Top 100 commitments.
Georgia Tech has ZERO 5-Star commitments.
Georgia Tech has no player considered any damn good at all.
Again, this year.
As every year.
Go play your schedules of six (6) games against “opponents” NOT even in a Bowl Game this year, as you just completed.
See, just see mind you, what kind of recruits you get for such a SORRY SCHEDULE.
Go play your HIGH SCHOOL OFFENSE.
See, just see mind you, what kind of recruits you get for such a HIGH SCHOOL OFFENSE.
Georgia Tech has only 3 high school players who want to come play on that offense.
UGA has players coming in next season such as :
Da’ Rick Rogers with 4.34 speed in the 40-yard dash with 6 feet 2 inches who is ranked the Number 1 Receiver in the Nation.
Brent Benedict a 6′ 6″ Offensive Tackle out of Jacksonville who is ranked the Number 6 Offensive Guard in the Nation.
Kolton Houston a 6′ 5″ Offensive Guard out of Buford who is ranked the Number 4 Offensive Tackle in the Nation.
Alec Ogletree a 6′ 3″ Safety out of Newnan who is ranked the Number 2 Safety in the Nation.
T.J. Stripling at 6′ 6″ out of Southwest DeKalb who is ranked the Number 4 Defensive End in the Nation.
Nickell Robey out of Frostproof Florida with 4.38 speed in the 40-yard dash who is ranked the Number 18 Cornerback in the Nation.
Garrison Smith out of Douglass High who is ranked the Number 1 Defensive Tackle in the Nation.
UGA has 7 of the Top Players in Florida and all the top players in the State of Georgia committed to UGA. This after your 1 good year since 1950, and after our worst year in the Coach Richt Era.
Who’s your Daddy ? 30-24. 8 of the last 9 years for Coach Richt. And, 60th beat down of Georgia Institute of Technology.
Why is Georgia Tech ranked the Number 41 Recruiting Class after your ACC CHUMPIONship, while UGA is the Number 6 Recruiting Class after we beat you 30-24 at your Stinking Stadium, again ? And, this LAME “we’re the Number 38 National University in the US News and World Report Rankings” doesn’t sound like crap to anyone either.
“WE’RE NUMBER 38.” What a hoot. That’s not a top school. It’s “top tier, tier 1” but so too is UGA. And, we absolutely OWN YOU in Athletics and in ACADEMICS of your Athletics compared to the Academics of our Athletics. We also beat your brains in at all sports, in the classroom and in each sport.
All of your Tech football commitments are ranked the Number 50 or the Number 90 in the Nation at their position. You have only 1 player recruited from outside the state of Georgia, and in-state you have nothing but the dredges, and they all will come to Tech and FLUNK OUT, as your Academic Progress Rate APR for Tech is WAY WORSE than the NCAA APR of UGA in football, who just beat your brains in, again doing little more than handing the ball off and lining up our men against your boys, who could NOT stop us, while by contrast, you GAVE UP ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL OFFENSE and threw 4 passes to END THE GAME, 24-30.
UGA has 5 Top 100 players committed, three 5-Star Recruits, nine 4-Star Recruits and Tech has 0 Top 100, 0 5-Star, and 2 4-Star by direct comparison.
The ONLY 3 commitments on Offense Paul Johnson has are 2 OL ranked number 50 in the nation and a RB ranked number 50 in the nation. 3 high school football players in the entire United States of America want to come play in that high school offense. God Almighty Above.
Merry Christmas.

1. Please be careful as you begin your trek across Northern Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
2. If you hit Texas or Arkansas please stop and ask for directions.
3. Please invest in a new road atlas. I hear they have them marked down at all Fred’s and Wal Mart for $4.88. And only $4.99 at Dollar General.
4. Please, before leaving, turn your watch back one hour and your calendar back 30 years. This should be pleasant for you as it will put you near the early 80’s which you own!
5. Please play your Harry Munson Glory Years 8 track tape the entire way over to get your juices flowing so to speak.
6. Please change your oil before you go.
7. Please remember to leave some road kill for those traveling behind you that are more needy.
8. Please DO NOT cook your road kill at any of the rest stops along the way (at least the first ones you come to in each state).
9. I know Georgia travels “well” but please also try to travel discretely.
10. Please, if anything falls off of your truck, just leave it. Remember, there are TWO Wal-Mart’s in Shreveport
11. Please try some of the crawdad stew at the west bound rest area in Vicksburg MS.
12. Please clean up your tailgate trash before entering the Shreveport stadium
13. Please do not leave the stadium in the 3rd or 4th quarter if your team is taking another BEAT DOWN
14. Please do not drive into Kirby Smart’s Birmingham subdivision on your way home.
15. Please do stop by Legion Field in Birmingham and claim your Papa Johns bowl victory for next year.
16. Please refrain from calling or emailing President Adams and Damon Evans until you get home
17. Please make sure your Cable bill is paid up so you can watch real teams play in real (January) bowls.
18. Please make sure your Rivals bill is paid up so you can feel better about yourself and your program before signing day.
19. When spring gets here, please share with us how great your new weedwacker is

“What the hell is so great about beating 6 teams who are NOT even in a bowl game ?
That is not a great year.
Neither too, is LOSING 24-30 for the 8th time in 9 years against Coach Richt.
The recruiting details prove beyond all doubt that UGA will continue to be MUCH BETTER than Tech.
And, would you lame butt Tech fans (both of you) please post some more about DEFENSE, which Tech has NOT had ANY of since Paul Johnson FIRED JON TENUTA and replaced him with the linebackers’ coach at So Miss as your “Defensive Coordinator.”
I did NOT say Tech has TOO MANY ASIAN MEN, what I said is the fact is that Tech has MORE ASIAN MEN than Tech has ALL WOMEN on campus.
FACT.
I don’t want to go to a school like that. Excuse me, going to college includes being with women, except at Georgia Tech.
Class ?
Now we are talking about Class in a Tech blog ?
Good Lord Above. Tech is renowned for the POOR LOSERS you are.
Tech students are not suffering from posts on their blogs giving it BACK to them, that which they sowed themselves pre-game.
Tech students are suffering all over campus, while your coach tells you to hit us in the face, instead it is the crime-ridden drug infested borders of your campus that causes Tech students so much suffering.
And your suffering continues as, your damn precious IMAGE, that somehow being Number 38 in the US News and World Report is something to BRAG about – while the fact is that Tech is WAY WORSE ACADEMICALLY in your student-athletes than at UGA according to the NCAA APR Academic Progress Rate. You recruit poor athletes mostly because you have NO WOMEN just Asian Men which you have MORE OF than WOMEN, so you have relaxed the enrollment and ACCEPT EVERYONE NOW.
ACC in bowl games ?
83-84-2.
And, if North Carolina doesn’t beat Pitt tomorrow, ACC will be 83-85-2 in bowl games.
If Boston College, does not beat Southern Cal tomorrow, the ACC will be 83-85-2.
And, if Clemson doesn’t beat Kentucky Sunday, the ACC will be 83-86-2 in bowl games. And, that then would make The SEC 191-149-9 in bowl games.
That’s laughable that you think we can NOT come back here and REPLY to this B.S.
The biggest culprit in the ACC of LOSING BOWL GAMES has been in fact, Georgia Tech who has LOST 7 OF THE LAST 10 TECH BOWL GAMES.
You are quoting the combined bowl records of ACC teams, in bowl games. Excuse me, the ACC gets NO DAMN CREDIT for winning a bowl game if the team in question was NOT IN THE STINKING ACC with a LOSING BOWL RECORD.
Paul Hewitt has a LOSING RECORD to UGA in men’s basketball. Paul Hewitt is on NCAA PROBATION with an Academic Progress Rate of 914. The NCAA has limited Paul Hewitt to only 11 scholarships in men’s basketball. The APR of Tech in men’s basketball is WAY WORSE than the APR of UGA in men’s basketball. Paul Hewitt is 4-5 vs. UGA in men’s basketball.
60-39-5 in Football is UGA’s record, with Coach Richt now 8-1 vs. Tech. including 30-24. Tech’s APR is WAY WORSE THAN UGA in football.
27-3 Women’s Basketball is UGA’s record against Georgia Tech including beating Tech “women” last week, as reported by me in here. Tech’s women’s basketball team has a WAY WORSE APR than UGA Academic Progress Rate.
21-10 Women’s Volleyball is UGA’s record against Tech in volleyball.
15-7 Softball is UGA’s record against Tech in Softball.
195-148-2 in Baseball is UGA’s record against Georgia Tech all-time in baseball, and this fact is listed at Georgia Tech’s own WebPages, why you don’t know that, is beyond me. And, NO, you LOST the last baseball game against UGA 5-7 at Turner Field.
25 NFL Georgia Tech yellowjackets 45 NFL UGA Bulldogs. So, NO, you are wrong about that too AMG. You just sit there and type whatever you want. Make it up, type away :

2 DECADES OF DOMINANCE :
UGA 615 acres, 34,180 students, Land Grant, Sea Grant.
UGA # 58 Top National University U.S. News & World Report, 55 % accepted.
UF 2000 acres, 51,474 students, Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant.
UF # 47 Top National University U.S. News & World Report, 39 % accepted.
Clearly, both UGA and UF are 2 of the Top National Universities in the latest U.S. News and World Report Rankings for 2010, both “Top Tier” National Universities.
UF dominates UGA in every manner possible. UF is far more selective at only 39 percent acceptance rate for enrollment at UF than UGA at 55 %.
UF is the higher ranked National University, Number 47 to Number 58 in the latest Rankings of National Universities.
UF has won 17 of the last 20 in football, and frankly only in women’s basketball and in baseball does UGA prevail. Women’s Gymnastics as well, but that sport is not included in the NACDA Directors’ Cup for some odd reason. UGA has won 8 of last 8 against tek.
UF is three and a quarter times the size of UGA’s campus, with huge potential for future growth.
$1.2 Billion Endowment UF.
$618 Million Endowment UGA.
150 percent larger than UGA, is UF in students.
In excess of one and half times the size of our student body.
For all the history of UGA Football while Florida was an also-ran in The SEC, the facts are that Florida really is only 1 short of UGA in SEC Titles. UF does have 3 SEC titles they vacate for cheating and has never ever had any season of undefeated and untied (UF did have a 5-0-1 record one year back in 1911 when it did not play UGA but was tied by South Carolina.)
Officially UGA has 12 SEC Titles and UF only 8. Clearly, UF has the capacity to more than make up for that too.
2 Decades.
If you look at the run over the last 2 Decades, no team in football has been as dominant as have the Florida crocodiles.
201-52-1 Florida last 2 decades
193-57-1 Florida State last 2 decades
192-54-3 Ohio State last 2 decades
191-60-1 Nebraska last 2 decades
184-59-0 Miami of Florida last 2 decades
185-65-2 Tennessee last 2 decades
169-74-1 leaves UGA not in the Top 10 last 2 decades at # 11.
146-96-2 leaves GA tek # 39 last 2 decades # 39.
GA tek # 39 recruits now.
UF # 3 recruits now
UGA # 8 recruits now
UGA was # 6 last year, # 7 in 2008, # 9 in 2007, # 4 in 2006, # 10 in 2005.
UF was # 11 last year, # 3 in 2008, # 1 in 2007, # 2 in 2006, # 15 in 2005.
6 classes for Urban Meyer average Rivals Ranking # 5.
Last 6 classes of Coach Richt average Rivals Ranking # 7.
Florida has beat UGA at Recruiting and on the field, and in the classroom.
FACT.
NFL :
45 Bulldogs in the NFL.
37 Florida players in the NFL.
25 GA tek players in the NFL.
Our players can’t beat Florida.
GA tek’s players can’t beat UGA.
AP POLL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS :
1 UGA
3 FLORIDA
0 GA tek
NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION POST GRADUATE SCHOLARS :
UGA 11
FLORIDA 5
Georgia tek 3
NCAA POST-GRADUATE SCHOLARS – FOOTBALL :
UGA 13
FLORIDA 9
Georgia tek 6
NCAA POST-GRADUATE SCHOLARS – ALL SPORTS :
UGA 52
FLORIDA 36
Georgia tek not in Top 10, fewer than 14.
RIVALRIES :
LOSING RECORD UF has against ALL its Rivals.
39-46-2 UGA
14-21 Alabama
38-42-2 Auburn (played every year until 1998)
26-28-0 Miami of Florida (no longer plays every year either)
10-12-1 Ole Miss
Went ahead of Tennessee vols 20-19-0 this season with 5th win in a row.
LSU 30-23-3 is an aberration, picked to replace Auburn every year now.
33-19-2 over Florida State is because neither school did a damn thing except the last 25 years.
NONE of THAT means A THING.
FACTS :
The last 2 decades of college football, 1 college football program is clearly the best.
Florida.
So, what if Florida has LOSING RECORD IN BOWL GAMES at 17-19.
In the last 2 decades, The University of Florida has been to 11 Major Bowl Games.
There are 4 Major Bowls.
11 of the 20 are Florida. UGA been to 8 Major Bowl Games since GA tek last went to one.
7 of the 11 Major Bowls Florida WON the last 2 decades.
90,544 Attendance always for 7 home games Florida # 9 in Attendance.
92,746 Attendance always for 6 home games Georgia # 6 in Attendance.
47,489 Attendance GA tek # 48 in Attendance. Pitiful.
Our 6 home games are because of JAX.
And, our Season’s Tickets are WATERED DOWN OPPONENTS as a direct result thereof.
Look at your (and mine) Season’s Tickets and try to tell me those are GOOD GAMES.
NACDA Directors’ Cup Florida has beat us every year but 1.
Directors’ Cup UGA beats GA tek EVERY YEAR and always has with UGA in the Top 10 and GA tek not in the Top 50 All Sports Directors’ Cup.
SEC All-Sports Trophy belongs to Florida almost every year.
976 UGA APR in football Academic Progress Rate.
963 UF APR in football Academic Progress Rate.
957 GA tek APR in football Academic Progress Rate.
56-10 Urban Meyer a DB from Cincinnati at UF, which Spurrier made into college football Heaven.
122-27-1 Steve Spurrier Heisman QB at UF for a football program that was HORRID.
There is no question that despite 2 NC by Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier BUILT Florida into what it was that Urban Meyer wanted to be there. Steve Spurrier also Won a National Championship as Florida Coach (with Bob Stoops help) and Steve Spurrier has MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY WINS AT FLORIDA than did Urban Meyer.
Just as there is no question that Florida is the DOMINANT FOOTBALL PROGRAM for 2 DECADES because of Steve Spurrier at Florida, 1 of their own and 1 of only 5 Florida players in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Steve Spurrier has had the biggest impact of anyone at UF in football, period; and as a direct result, the college football landscape isn’t the same.
2 DECADES OF DOMINANCE.

What is Most Incongruous about GA tek fans posting again about Florida are their posts about Paul Johnson as a name on the list to replace Urban Meyer at Florida.
Paul Johnson played 6 games against teams not even in a bowl game, and YET LOST MORE GAMES than Florida did playing only 4 teams who aren’t in a bowl game.
I mean how good is Paul Johnson, anyway ?
He recruits very poorly.
His offense has zero tight ends and at most 1 receiver on the whole entire roster.
A QB who in 35 games has only 13 TD passes to 11 interceptions and is the Number 115 Passing Offense in the NCAA this season, yet this is what they went to when they scrapped their high school offense and threw 4 plays in a row to lose to a 7-5 team playing in Shreveport, NE LA at a high school stadium (larger than Tech’s Grant Field Bobby Dodd Stadium.)
There are only 3 football players in all of America who have committed to come play on this high school offense of Paul Johnson.
3.
He fired Jon Tenuta to hire the linebackers’ coach at So Miss to come be his Defensive Coordinator.
With 6 games against teams not even in a bowl game, Paul Johnson’s “defense” is Number 57 against the Run, 54 Total Defense and 58 Scoring Defense.
And, his recruits are IDIOTS, not suited for the purpose for which they are intended as “student” – athletes.
Florida lost 1 game against # 1 Alabama. GA tek with Paul Johnson lost to UGA for God’s sake who LOST TO 5 OTHER TEAMS including Kentucky AND lost to Miami of Florida who otherwise beat no one, like UGA.
Soft schedule GA tek played.
It is, after all, all Paul Johnson has EVER COMPETED AGAINST.
GA tek fans think Florida wants their head football coach.
Now, that’s funny.
Go read the posts.
Right up there before now.
And, they keep saying it.
How can GA tek fans be so obsessed with Florida when UGA has beat Florida 2 of the last 6 games while GA tek has beat UGA 1 of the last 9?
What is the 1 name NOT on Jeremy Foley’s list ?
Paul Johnson.

There is 1 area common to Florida under Urban Meyer and GA tek fans nowadays, and that is that they are crybabies when they lose.
