Richt reclaims seat in quarterback, offense meetings (PLUS: practice notes)
ATHENS –- Mark Richt says he might be a bit slower to answer his mail this year.
That’s because, for the first time in several years, Georgia’s head coach plans to make it a point to attend every quarterbacks meeting –- the almost daily, hour-long sessions at which the QBs meet with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to review film and, during the season, game plans. Richt said he also will attend every offensive team meeting.
“Like I told Mike and the staff, I’m not in there to make them crazy at all,” Richt said Tuesday night. “But I’m in there because, No. 1, I do miss it and because I want to be able to add as much value as I can as we go.”
Richt’s increased involvement in the offense comes after a 2009 season in which the Bulldogs finished 75th in the nation in total offense (362.15 yards per game), 51st in scoring offense (28.92 points per game) and 99th in turnovers lost (28).
Richt said he stopped attending the QB meetings on a regular basis around the time he delegated play-calling duties to Bobo at the end of the 2006 season. Part of the reason, Richt said, was to afford Bobo the same autonomy that Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden had afforded a young Richt.
“Sometimes when the head man’s in there,” Richt said, “they maybe worry too much about what I think.”
But Richt said he has attended all quarterbacks meetings, as well as offensive team meetings, this spring and plans to do so during the season as well.
The impetus for the change was this spring’s competition for the starting quarterback job, although Richt said he plans to continue the practice “from here on in.”
“This spring in particular, we’re trying to make a decision on a starter and I want to make sure I understand completely,” Richt said. “I want to see [the players] react to coaching. I want to see them answer the questions that [Bobo] has to ask them. I want to just kind of get a taste of how they are handling the pressure.
“A lot of times [in recent years], I would watch practice film separately from the staff and maybe make my notes and talk to the staff about things I saw. But what I have decided to do is just be in there every day as they’re going over it and make sure we’re all on the same page.”
The main tradeoff for more time with the offense, Richt said, will be less prompt attention to some off-field aspects of the head coach’s job.
“I was starting to let some of those extra things roll into meeting times,” he said. “Now, certain things are just going to have to wait. It’s not like they’re not going to get done. They just might not get done as quickly as some people may want them.
“I may not answer my mail as quickly as I used to, or sign a bunch of stuff as quickly as I was. But it’s good medicine for me, really.”
—————————–
From Tuesday’s practice:
- Richt ranked the practice as the worst of the spring -– “ninth out of nine.” After praising the tempo of the first eight practices, “it kind of fizzled on us a little bit” Tuesday, Richt said. “I just didn’t think we practiced like champions today. I felt like we practiced like we were going through the motions and just didn’t have the mental toughness to push through.”
- Based on Saturday’s scrimmage, Richt said he believes tailback-turned-linebacker Richard Samuel “is catching on” to the new position. But Richt did not rule out the possibility of a redshirt season for Samuel, who will be a junior in the fall. “He’s new to the position, and we want him to be ready to compete for us –- not so much compete for a job but get out there and play championship defense,” Richt said. “If we think he’s ready to do that and produce at a high level, we want him to play. If he’s still finding his way a little bit, I don’t think we’ll be in a big rush to get him out there.”
- Junior-college transfer Jakar Hamilton was working at first-team safety, along with Bacarri Rambo.
- After missing all of last week’s practices with a sprained shoulder joint, wide receiver Marlon Brown returned to work on a limited basis. He was wearing a green non-contact jersey.
- Backup offensive lineman A.J. Harmon, who will miss the remainder of spring practice because of a high ankle sprain, was on crutches Tuesday. Harmon becomes the fourth offensive linemen on the sidelines, joining Trinton Sturdivant, Tanner Strickland and Austin Long.
- Several players returned to practice after missing last week with nagging injuries: outside linebacker Justin Houston (shoulder), tight end Bruce Figgins (hamstring) and wide receiver Israel Troupe (hamstring).
- Quarterback Logan Gray, after practice Tuesday, reflected on Saturday’s scrimmage in which he completed only 6 of 14 passes for 37 yards: “I don’t think I had my best day, to be honest. I kind of felt a little out of rhythm. Luckily, it’s not our only scrimmage of the spring.” He added: “I would have liked to have gotten a few more reps with the [first-team offense]. But I’m sure it’ll even out Saturday [in the spring's second scrimmage] and G-Day because we’ve got a rotation going [among the quarterbacks].”

No. No. He has and always will help make the choices of the gameplan. What it does mean is that he will be in the meetings to make sure they are all on the same page. I take that as to make sure that the best quarterback will be on the field and not the guy that has been in the program the longest.

I take it as him trying to help Bobo avoid sinking, a la Martinez. Honestly, Martinez was a good secondary coach when that was all he had to do. As D-Coordinator, he was overwhelmed. His opportunity to sink or swim resulted in sinking. I don’t think Richt wants to see the same thing happen to Bobo. Let’s hope it works out.

Coach Richt wants to be in there so that he can analize who the best starter will be for quarterback and to be able to put in his own feedback with Bobo. This proves that Richt does not know who the starting quarterback will be yet and that it is truly a Dawgfight right now. Honestly, this will help all the QB cndidates to work harder and be better in the long run.

Bobo is over his head. He has one game great…the next weak as water. Richt’s tail got hot along with Willie’s in ‘09 and he didn’t like it. His tail will get even hotter if the bulldawgs don’t produce a steady offensive force on the field this year.
This is a good thing to see…CMR was a QB and OC – by george he ought to be involved in every phase of understanding Bobo’s offense and QB analysis.

You’re absolutely right! In fact, why even have assistants? Richt should do offense, defense, special teams….

This may be a great move. Bobo has been over his head for a long time. The other DCs in the SEC love matching wits with Bobo it was like having a gun at a knife fight. Bobo had more talent on his team that could over come his bad play calling, but I think Richt’s butt does not want to get any warmer this year. QB’s that come to UGA want Richt more than they want Bobo to coach then and mentor them.
J Dog

Now that the defense appears to be in good hands, I believe Richt definately wants to make sure the offense doesn’t sputter like it did last year. The overall schedule is softer than it has been in years, and if the defense can improve from a disaster to just be decent, UGA could be in position to at least contend for the SEC title.
He knows this may be his best shot to turn things around, maybe his last shot if he doesn’t.

If the kicking game is PERFECT, the special teams run fast as HELL and don’t fumble,The offense scores EVERY time they get the ball and don’t FUMBLE, the defense don’t let the other team get a first down, much less a touchdown. And the refs. don’t call ANY penalty on us, then we will win some games.

I can’t wait for the spin on this one from the Bobo apologists. The guy is going in to year 4 as OC and Richt still needs to babysit him? He should be spending his time worrying about the defense and special teams since they’ve got new coaches. The offense should be a well oiled machine at this point in Bobo’s tenure. It clearly isn’t.

Mark Richt coached TWO Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks. He should ALWAYS be involved. Good grief, Mike Bobo should WELCOME his involvement. Those coaches over there in Athens had better take their overblown egos and SHELVE THEM because their jobs are damn sure on the line in 2010. 10-2 regular season or more heads will roll. Personally, I am ready to see Bobo move on despite his heritage and what success he has had. UGA Football is better to release all ties to the Dooley and Goff regimes if they EVER want to win big.

Another great example of a guy who comes on here like he has all the answers and don’t know jackschitt…Back in the blowout of LSU when Nick Saban was coaching LSU, Bobo ran up the score on Saban’s defense…Threw it deep everytime they came with the blitz and man coverage..All Saban could do was watch and throw down his headsets…Then Bobo calls the takeoff in overtime that beats Alabama at Alabama….If he can match wits with Saban, which he has proved he can do, who else out there who is a DC makes you shiver….Bobo lost a great QB and and a great Runningback to the NFL in the same year…Not many OC lose a great QB and RB and come out and start scoring 40 points right away….

Fact:………UGA was 12-1 in 2002 (prior to bowl selections)

Fact ………Fla was 12-1 in 2006 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Not UGAs fault there were 2 unbeatens that year. “unlucky”
.
Fact……….Not Flas credit that there was only one unbeaten in 2006. “Lucky”
.
Fact:………Luck (not merit) had more to do with Fla getting an invite to the BCS not that Fla was more deserving to go to a NC than UGA with identical records.
.
Fact:………No SEC team has ever lost a BCSNC game and if UGA would have been invited nothing indicates that it would have been different
.
Fact……….UGA has 2 SEC titles..same as Fla in last 9 years and equal amount of total wins (90) over all.
.
Fact……….UGA has been ranked more times top ten in last 9 years than any SEC team at 6. Fla has only been ranked top ten 3 times in 9 years (real impressive).

Fact……….In 9 years under Richt one SEC team has more wins LSU and only by one wins
Fact………..UGA has won 4 str8 bowls….more than any other SEC team.
.
Fact……..UGA has won 11 of last 13 bowls…Thats more than any team (tied with LSU and more than FLA)
.
Fact…… UGA has won 8 or more games in last 13 years…more than any other team in the nation including Fla.
.
Fact…….UGA is clearly as good or better than any SEC team over last 9 years. Only a fool or a fan of the mythical BCSNC selection process (non playoff) would think otherwise.
.
Fact…….UGA had same record when they won the SEC title in 2002 as Fla did in 2006/8 when they won the SEC title. But UGA had the misfortune (luck) to have that record in a year that had 2 other teams with undefeated records.
Hardly an indictment on UGA but rather on the NC selection process.
6 times finished in the top 10
2 times finished in the top 3
3 SEC Championship Appearances
2 SEC Titles
3 BCS Bowls
2 Sugar Bowl wins
90-27 record over 8 seasons – 79% winning percentage (one of only 7 in the history of college ball to have ever accomplished this)
4 str8 bowl wins
7-2 in bowls (big games)
Mark Richt coached QB coach for Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke = 2 Heismans; Head Coach for David Greene = all time winningest college QB until Colt McCoy this year); and coached Matthew Stafford = very rich #1 draft pick)

Here is the deal. Richt did not like losing period. It doesn’t matter why or how, he is out to rebuild UGA. Let’s remember that this is Richts first head coaching position. He started out involved, backed away (thinking that he could) and realized that he is valuable asset as a coach. One thing that stands out to me is how the QBs handle the ball on play action. Greene and Shock could run a play action like nobodies business. They could sell it. Stafford did o.k., but it was obvious with Cox that ball handling skills had declined. With a new QB, he is out to improve the QB play from top to bottom. Also, Richt must feel much more comfortable with his D coaching staff than the previous staff. Richts involvement with the O means very good things for the Dawgs.

Patrick,
How many national titles has Richt won vs Meyer? Meyer 2-0 in only 5 years vs 9 years for Richt at UGA.
How many national titles does Richt have vs Saban. Saban 2-0 including 3 sec titles in 8 years vs 9 years for Richt. Also, Saban took over 2 programs mired in mediocrity before he got there while Richt inherited a Georgia team that had gone 8-3 several years in a row.
So Georgia was “unlucky” in 2002 and 2005. Nope. There were just better teams undefeated Ohio State in 2002 (first 14-0 team ever) beating defending champion Miami which was on a 21 game winning streak. And in 2005 I don’t think anyone will dispute the fact that Texas and USC were the 2 best teams in the country that year and met undefeated in the Rose Bowl. Not a matter of luck. Georgia simply wasn’t one of the 2 best teams in the years 2002 or 2005. End of story. Now STFU

Pi$$onadawg,
Considering that Richt is only 10-10 against the sec east over the last 5 years I seriously doubt even dog fans expect Georgia to be in the seccg. They can’t even beat Kentucky with regularity. Kentucky is one 4th down hail mary pass in the waning seconds from having beaten the dogs 3 of the last 4 instead of only 2 of the last 4.
When the mildcats are at your house only leading by 1 score midway through the 4th and your fans start leaving in droves then that tells you how much your own fans think you suck. And to get there they would have to beat Florida and we all know that aint gonna happen.
And if some miracle happened and they did beat the mighty gators they would then just get humiliated by the Bammers all over again. It would be like a sequel to Blackout night in Athens. It would just be 45 miles down the road is all. And indoors.

Well, as far as going out on a limb…why shoot for 11-1?…why not go for 12-0?…honestly though, we will have a good season, how good will be told completely in how well the quarterbacks play. If we get standout quarterback play, it will be a very good season. I think that is why Richt is going to the meetings. He knows the importance of that for this year.

So the guy confused a draw play and a screen pass. Not a big deal and I doubt he’s not the only one to ever do that. I still say you are probably the only idiot I’ve ever seen in my entire life who didn’t get it as a joke when someone used the term “gradiated”. Its a mild form of self deprecating humor. I feel I have to explain that to you since apparently that small level of humor is way above the comprehension level of your tiny 2 celled brain.

1) Richt realizes he’s probably gonna have a total rookie QB starting in the SEC and wisely wants to be involved. 2) Richt realizes that if he loses 5 games for a second year in a row, a distinct possibility with a new QB and many new players on D adapting to a new scheme, the seats gonna start heating up. Even the most delusional of Dawgs will start getting antsy. 3) It’s gonna get ugly all right especially if somebody doesn’t really emerge at QB, stay healthy and play beyond their years. That’s asking alot but it has been done.

“With Richt back at the helm it could get ugly for the rest of the SEC defenses”. Is that a joke?
The last time Richt was an offensive coordinator was at the 13-2 OU shutout of the FSU offense in the national title game. FSU was really able to run over the little dwarves of the acc when Richt was there and FSU was even more talented than Florida in the 90s but when his talent on offense is only equal to the opposition I’m not to impressed.
Also not too impressed with 10-10 in the east over the last 5 years. Sure Richt did well early in the century when Florida had Zook and Bama was decimated by probation and losing to everyone. But now that those 2 teams are back to prominence Georgia is where it always was. A middle tier team that never can quite make it to the top. What is it? 30 years and counting???

You guys should be nicer to one another! I am a Tech fan, but I’ll sure admit that UGA has a good program. And Richt has been the biggest part of that in recent years.
It is obvious that he wants improvement on offense this year. He is also starting to take more responsibility for aspects of the team that floundered last year. Shown by: Firing Martinez, hiring NFL coach for defense, stepping up his role in the offense…
If he can deal with discipline and penalties as well, the Dawgs will be very solid.
That said, I still think we gotcha in November.
Until then, best wishes,

You might be the first Tech fan I’ve seen here that was football savvy enough to realize that the CWM firing & subsequent hiring of CTG was actually a sign that Richt is serious about getting UGA back on top of the SEC. This Dawg fan thinks (actually I know) Ga. Tech has one helluva coach in Paul Johnson & even the densest of Dawg fans would find it hard to argue that CPJ is lacking intensity or desire to keep Tech atop the ACC.
I beg to differ w/you on your Sat. after Turkey Day prediction but what’s interesting is that both teams will have 11 games running the 3-4 defense under their belts so it might come down to which offense can execute best. Good luck to your Yellow Jackets as well, until then.

Nick Saban went 6-5, 6-6, 6-6, 7-5 at Mich St.
He went 8-5 at LSU 2x
He went 7-6 at Alabama.
Saban has gone 5-3 or worse in conference 8 times.
Richt has only gone 5-3 or worse in conference 3 times in his first 9 years.
Compare that to Saban’s record and consistency in his 1st 9 years.
Richt has NEVER had a 7-6 or 6-6 season, Saban’s done it 5 times, including once at Alabama.

Ohio State was better than UGA in 2002
.
really?
.
In 2002, Ohio State went 12-0 in the regular season with a paltry five-point win over Wisconsin, a miniscule six-point win over Penn State, and a pathetic 10-6 win over Purdue where Craig Krenzel threw a 37-yard touchdown pass on fourth down in the final two minutes.
Then the Buckeyes needed a sadly pathetic overtime to beat Illinois and beat Michigan 14-9 with a miracle touchdown with less than five minutes remaining. Ohio State could have seen its national championship dreams derailed several times but to the Buckeyes’ everlasting credit, they always found a way to win.
Mark Richt’s best team at Georgia (12-1 with a loss to Florida), which finished No. 3 in the BCS Standings, just needed for Ohio State to lose one of those games and the Bulldogs are in the Fiesta Bowl against Miami.

That just shows how lucky (not good) OSU was. SCOREBOARD

He is suppose to be the QB with the most experience. We cant afford another year with a QB “out of rhythm”……I regress to “Even after the debacle of the Florida game and the 4 interceptions; Jox Cox still gives us our best chance to win”……

Check your facts. Richt is the winningest coach in the SEC except for Meyer. Meyer is second in the nation in winning percentage, but all of his nine years (equal to Richt’s tenure) were not spent in
the SEC. You also might want to see where Saban is on the list, but I am sure he is on the rise. Check it out:

Mark Wrong, please try to have class and not come on this blog just to spit venom.
Go have a good day.
BuLLdawg, overall our offense hasn’t been that bad. All teams, including Florida and Alabama, have their bad days on offense. For the most part, the offense is only going to be as good as the QB is on a given day, unless you have a Herschel in your backfield. If I were Richt, I’d just want to make sure things are going as smoothly as possible this upcomming year. Stay in touch with the offense, so to speak. After all, it’s his job that may be on the line if things don’t go well.
He needs to leave the defense to those who know it best. His problem has been an apparent inabality to rate or quality control various aspects of his teams play. For instance we all saw UGA had problems on defense soon after Van Gorder left, so why did he wait so long to replace willie? Could he not see the defense was bad and getting worse, or did frindship get in the way? Whatever the case, he hired a very good coach who surely knows more than Richt about how to play good defense. He needs to leave the DC alone and focus on his speciality, offense.
I for one am glad to see him want to get involved .

While I am a Mark Richt fan, it’s laughable for any Dawg fan to believe in Mike Bobo. His offense is so predictable that the Kiffins publicly made fun of it before the UT game, then held it to 3 points. The other good defensive coordinators (OSU,LSU,UF,UK)Bobo faced last year could have done the same, but having more class than the Kiffins, they just shut his O down. This will not get better just because Richt starts going to the QB meetings. It will take him raiding a NFL staff for a new OC.
The new D will insure that there will be no more 40 points allowed games, as were the custom with Willie, but even Saban had a 6-6 season with the Tide before the players caught on to his D. It will take Grantham a year to make this huge jump, especially given how these players were taught to play defense the past few years. I mean, Grantham is the anti-Willie and converting these players from passive to attacking, and teaching them to tackle and cover receivers properly will not happen overnight.
With hopefully a new OC, our QB no longer baby faced, and the defense installed, 2011 should be the year the Dawgs compete for the SEC again.

Sometimes I wish we had a former offensive lineman as our offensive coordinator. Richt and Bobo were both QBs and both have had play calling that relies too heavily on the pass. As we saw against Tech last year, we need to RUN THE BALL, and only pass if we have to or to catch the defense off guard with some play action.

Bobo had a tough year in 2009 with some critical losses at QB/RB/WR (Georgia’s 2009 looks a lot like Florida’s 2010 offensively with losses at all offensive skill positions).
What bothers me about Bobo is:
a) giveaways/ball protection (40 fumbles/interceptions in 2009, 14 giveaways against Florida in last 4 seasons)–does not have the ability to TRANSFER his ball protection knowledge to his QB, RB’s, and WR’s
b) play calling run-pass mix has been too much pass–does not reflect “best practice sec” of what sec leaders are doing–this leads to lots of giveaways/turnovers
c) too subjective in deciding on starters—doesn’t base decisions on merit–(Ealey still not starting although he’s better in ypc and ball protection than King, Joe T. and Joe Cox named starters at QB???, etc.)
d) game planning—not using play-makers like AJ/Wooten/Charles/Ealey/Smith enough, these are all Heisman talented level players, some games Orson might be thrown to 3 times, Ealey might sit on the bench although he’s the leading rusher in yards per carry, AJ might get 5 passes, Wooten didn’t start several games although he leads the team in yards per catch at over 20 yards per catch, Smith might get 1 called run although he averages 12.2 yards per run). Why Bobo doesn’t gameplan for 1 back to get 100 yards rushing when Richt’s record is 40-3 when that happens is incomprehensible.
e) high risk play calls–throwing into a group of 4 defenders, throwing into tight windows, throwing screens around 4 defenders–can’t seem to figure out how to get guys into open spaces where risk is limited–not taking enough sacks
f) indecisive–this limits reps for players because Bobo postpones decisions–(Logan Gray is getting 33% of Murray and Mett’s reps although no one thinks Logan has a shot at starting QB, Ealey still being rotated with King limits Ealey’s reps/development)

Richt’s increased involvement in the offense comes after a 2009 season in which the Bulldogs finished 75th in the nation in total offense (362.15 yards per game), 51st in scoring offense (28.92 points per game) and 99th in turnovers lost (28).
And he fired Willie instead of Bobo; classic.

Thank God Richt is back working more closely with the QBs. Regardless of who our assistant coaches are, I am going to always want Richt in those meetings. Richt was one of the greatest quarterbacks coaches of all time. It is a waste of Richt’s abilities for him not to be working with the Georgia QBs. Molding a good quarterback involves so much more than just X’s and O’s, and Richt knows what to do. I know he wants to show respect to Bobo, but I think Richt can be very polite and considerate of everyone without having to exclude himself from those meetings.

Martinez had sustained failure, and his defenses gradually got worse each year. Bobo had success with Stafford and Moreno, scoring more points and being hotter in the red zone than the David Greene teams of Richt’s play-calling days.

Johnny danger, anyone could have success with stafford and moreno. A lot of willies defense’s problems were the offensive turnovers putting them in a bad fix. How do you explain going 2-2 the last 4 years with KY? That would embarrass most fan bases to the point they would fire the HC.

Tebow wasn’t there when Zook was coach chazzo. UGA hired Richt because of his record against UF. What they didn’t realize was it really was his record against Spurrier and he has only lost twice to Spurrier since he was at UGA (I believe). Once while spurrier was still at UF and once while at SC.

Richt’s making all the right moves in 2010. He has coached 2 different QB’s into Heisman trophy winners, finished in the top 5 in the Nation in offense 6 times in 10 years with FSU, got FSU into 5 National Championships as Offensive Coordinator, that’s why he was hired at UGA. With the defensive leadership stabilized by Grantham, and the special teams challenges shored up, Richt can focus on his #1 STRENGTH–which is Offense, and QB talent evaluation and QB development. Management is all about FOCUSING ON YOUR STRENGTH.

I can’t believe all you softies out there. We had a good season because…. .blah blah blah. Only thing that counts is NCs. The stats are for recruiting and alumni donations. UGA is a program that should have its sights on winning it all. Unfortunately, there are many teams (including GT) that have done this- some more than once- since UGA’s last. So, continue to set the bar low and celebrate the occassional SEC title like it was a NC. That’s not a true fan but instead an ignorant one.

I’d say letting assistant coaches worry about what a head coach thinks is definitely a good thing. If the assistants are brilliant, the head coach may know when to give them space, but the UGA offense hasn’t been brilliant, even when they had Stafford and Moreno and Green, so it’s time Richt took his offensive coaching experience to the table fully again. I hope something great comes of it.

I think Richt is more involved so that when the hard decision comes to play whoever as QB it will take some of the heat off of BoBo. It will be a this is what “we decided” moment. Rather than allow detractors to say “stupid Bobo chose the wrong guy.” If Stafford was still QB or even if Cox had another year, I doubt coach does this.

CEO Mark,
I said a couple of the wins could be directly attributed to Tebow. It’s reading and comprehension.
In addition, last season was a transitional year after losing all the stars. On top of that any optional talent to be exploited was in green jerseys (Murry and Ealey, prime examples) at the beginning of the season.
Also, I am going way out on a limb here. Cox did not do a bad job. That’s right you heard that. He made some bad decisions, and he threw a lot of picks. But, the rest of his stats were respectable. For a first year starter (and I don’t care how many years he was an understudy) with a banged up line and little running attack or blocking, his other stats (completions and yardage) are respectable. I think he is a hell of guy that showed a lot of moxy having to listen to a bunch of down int he mouth, gambling addicted rednecks ride his arse all season. I wish that guy all the best and all the success in the world. Actually, I think he would make a heck of a coach.
Finally, Richt is the best coach UGA has ever had. He tried the macro-management, CEO approach. He went through some personal challenges, all while babysitting a bunch of thugs with #1 talent and #100 attitudes. Happy or not about the lack of the NC, he has come through it all with winning record after winning record. Things were somewhat dissapointing the last couple of years, admittedly, and Richt, as he is prone to do, changed it up and is applying a new approach. What else can you ask of an HC? He has put together a great team that is ready to blast off. I am in the camp of, first year QB and a new D equals 10 wins and not necessarily championships. But, next season will definitely be a run for the crystal.
Either get on that train, or burn your red and black and start wearing orange.

Coach Figurehead has to do something. I guess him focusing on offense makes a certain degree of sense. He paid 750 large to delegate the defensive duties to Grantham & Co. So he can now run off to the other corner of the field and play with the offensive kiddies. Doesn’t sound like anything to get excited about to me.

Funny how all the blind homers are now even jumping on the band wagon of the past critics for the past few years. Now even the strength and conditioning program is being looked into. Too bad Jeff Owens and other players didn’t have a strict nutrition diet while at UGA and realized their full potential. The last 4 years at UGA ha been a total waste of what really might have been.

Wonderdog,
Of course we were pretty predictable on offense last year. It was tough getting the ball to the best playmaker in the stadium, AJ Green. When you don’t have the ability to get the ball to an outside receiver on a 20-30 yard route, there are only so many screen plays you can call. When the o-line struggled to run block in the early games, that compounded the problem. However, I was troubled that Michael Moore seemed to disappear from the game plan. As a slot/third down receiver I just have to wonder if Michael Moore might do very well in the NFL.
I am not as critical of Bobo as many of you. I am confident the guy can do a fine job as OC.
Go Dawgs!

I am not a huge Willie Martinez hater. (I think he deserves a job but not at a Top 25 school). But a better DC could have won more games even with last year’s turnover-prone offense. I remember the offense putting the defense in a lot of bad spots during the BVG years. I remember so many games where the defense would exhaust themselves because the David Greene offense was having trouble staying on the field. The defense would trot out after only a 30-second breather, and I’d think, “There’s no way they have any gas left in the tank.” But then they’d do their job again. BVG defenses didn’t need excuses; they just dominated.

What took so long...
March 31st, 2010
2:04 pm
Did I read his correctly…
The main tradeoff for more time with the offense, Richt said, will be less prompt attention to some off-field aspects of the head coach’s job.
“I was starting to let some of those extra things roll into meeting times,” he said. “Now, certain things are just going to have to wait. It’s not like they’re not going to get done. They just might not get done as quickly as some people may want them.
“I may not answer my mail as quickly as I used to, or sign a bunch of stuff as quickly as I was. But it’s good medicine for me, really.”

GA’s defense was indeed a problem last year, but the offense had too many turnovers and the play calling was suspect at times. Without a doubt there needs to be improvement on both sides of the ball to contend in East. I think the concern is the offense. We could be a good running team this year and should be. The passing game is questionable. If there is real determination and effort and if CMR can keep people out of jail – there is a chance for the East. If we don’t at least contend and have a 10 win season – we are looking at replacing somebody else. Somebody important.

I look at Coach Richt’s career as chapters in a book. I think 2001-2004 when he has BVG, Greene and Pollack is chapter 1. I think 2005-2009 with Willie Martinez and Bobo, Stafford, Knowshon etc. is chapter 2. And from 2010- with Grantham & Co is Chapter 3. To me each of these periods represent completely different teams with different philosophy’s. I really believe the mentality of this team from here on out is such that to compare them to a team in 2002 or 2003 doesn’t add up.
With that being said, I think Dawg fans need to lower their expectations this season. Expecting a 10 or 11 win season when you have a team that is breaking a new defense and new QB, just isn’t realistic. Honestly this is an 8-5 or 9-4 team in my estimation.

I do not know Patrick. YES, you are correct. UGA choked against UT in 2007. They were like deer in headlights. It was awlful. the rest of the season frickin’ rocked, though. So, whether or not they lost to UT, it was not a disappointing season. You started this whole thing by saying that there were four disappointing seasons in a row. Basically, essentially, emphatically, empirically you are absolutely 100% wrong. Sop stay down. Richt kicked butt for four years with David and David and DJ. Then there was an off year with a freshman QB. Then he rocked it again with Stafford and Moreno. then everybody sucked, got hurt, and went pro. Hence last year’s disappointing 9 win season.
YOU KNOW IT IS GREAT TO BE A GEORGIA BULLDAWG WHEN A 9-WIN REBUILDING YEAR THAT EXCEDED MOST EXPECTATIONS IS YOUR LOWEST EBB OF THE PAST SEASONS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have a feeling that Bobo is to close to one if not all of the quarterbacks and Coach will act has the bad cop when the decision is made who is the started. Plus can Coach afford to allow Bobo to make a wrong decision on the starting QB? 0 and whatever never looks good for any staff. Really doesn’t look good at UGA with all the quality win since Richt has been here. I still haven’t forgotten the painful Goff years. So thank you Coach Richt for coaching.

Coach Mark Richt Is On Fire in 2010!
March 31st, 2010
3:04 pm
In 2002 & 2007, I saw a fire in Coach Richt in the off-season. But I have NEVER seen him as ON FIRE as he is in 2010. When he gets this locked and focused, it’s usually LIGHTS OUT for the competition. Richt HATES TO LOSE. He hates seeing guys BEAT THEMSELVES. I don’t know what will happen in 2010, but I GUARANTEE YOU ONE THING, Georgia will not have a lot of turnovers on offense. And the defense will force a lot of turnovers. That you can absolutely count on. Ricth won’t let Georgia keep beating Georgia. No more 40 fumbles and interception type of years for the offense like 2009. No more 14 interceptions against Florida like the last 4 games. We may lose, but the OTHER team’s gonna have to beat Richt from NOW ON. and that’s IMPOSSIBLE to do. Richt is 15-0 when Georgia commits ZERO TURNOVERS. Love his focus on TURNOVER MARGIN.

In terms of “CEO Mark’s” comments, I say thank you. Thank you for your dedication and daily concern for UGA.
.
This guy wakes up every day thinking about UGA.
.
That is so funny to me.
.
What is more amazing to me is that you are only here in hopes of getting attention.
.
that is pathetic.
.
That obsessive behavior indicates just how superior you view UGA.
.
You attempt to distract people from the topic at hand.
.
Suggestion for “CEO Mark” who blogs on a daily basis about UGA:
.
“Please Notice Me” would be a better name.
.
That would be a very fitting name because of your desperate need to get members of the CFB family to notice you.
.
Before you refute that statement, ask yourself why you are not blogging on any other subject at any other time except about UGA.
.
You are so unoriginal and pathetic you will probably copy and paste that comment and subtly change the content to make it appear as your own work.

2-7 vs. UF* (some may point out that Tebow was hurt in a victory, but DJ was injured in a narrow defeat, as well)
6-3 vs. Auburn
4-0 vs. Ole Miss
2-0 vs. MS
3-1 vs. Bama
3-3 vs. LSU* (2 losses came in the same year to the best team in the nation hands down.)
8-1 vs. Tech
11-1 vs. ACC
Seems to me, the only folks that can talk smack around here are the Gators. They’d still be pinheads for trolling another teams blog. UT is the only team close to even. Hey that’s what makes it a rivalry. Auburn is usually a split. Auburn also has a great bunch of fans. How many Auburn fan’s pop up here to talk smack. they are few and far between.

Here’s what might happen.
Meyer goes to his 2nd defensive heasd coach in 1 month, can’t remember their names, they all quit so fast, and says:
“Dude, QB John Brantley’s confidence is down after his 41% performance in the last scrimmage. Let him complete every pass to help his confidence, don’t defend him, ok buddy???”
Note to readers:
If Brantley’s stats go up from 41% to 82% in one scrimmage, something’s going on ok????

Head to head against the hated gators? Ok ever head of Achilles? You cant have an Achilles heel without being an Achilles. Also, UGA has to play every year in Fla. Jax is only an hour bus ride for the Gayturds but is a road trip for UGA. Kinda like an away game every year.
.
But if you want to talk about UGA vs Fla we can do that
.
head to head UGA leads Fla by 7 games
.
UGA has a winning bowl record Fla has a losing bowl record
.
UGA has 12 SEC titles to Fla’s 8
.
UGA has a alltime winning bowl record ranked 6th all time…Fla has a losing Bowl record

UGA has been ranked more times than Fla and is alltime 11th in wins while Fla is not rankied top 25

No patrick we are talking Richt vs Gators. The bus ride for the gators is about the same amount of time for Florida as the plane ride for UGA, plus both teams go down there the day before so that’s no argument. Richt cannot consistently beat UF and until he can he will not be considered successful.

I agree with James, UGA has a great head coach who has a proven record to back it up. Your fans are insane and dilusional to want to throw Richt under the bus and blame everything on him. Richt is a good man with good morals and coaching ability. Now, someone said that Tech is the one getting all the love from the AJC writers staff, son apparently you didn’t read a single paper from at least 02 – late 08 because GT has and will always be the second rate football school in the state and that’s coming from a long time Tech fan and student. Just stop the whining and support your coach. Go Jackets.
patrick
March 31st, 2010

So ….if you consider the real goal…winning a SEC title…then Richt has been as successful as Fla over last 9 years. The NC is to subjective and is an opinion poll based NC that the NCAA does not sanction nor do they even recognize it as legit. The NCAA merely cites on its web page what a school claims. So the real title is the SEC title. UGA Richt has as many as Fla under his tenure.

the NC is mythical….has NCAA basketball ever had multiple NC’s…has NCAA baseball???? No. How can it be considered legit if more than one team can claim a NC title?

THE talent test is how many players move from the college ranks to the pro ranks. Also, Fla and UGA play in the same conference and both have equal records and SEC titles since Richt became HC. So by virtue of the fact that they have equal records but UGA produces more NFL talent then there can be NO ARGUMENT that UGA has more talent.

Chazzo……..Its interesting to note that UF and LSU have won national titles with the same record UGA had when it won its two SEC titles. Its not that UGA is not as good of a program as either of the two, they have just been luckier than UGA. And that’s the truth. It is not Fla credit that USC lost to unranked inferior teams in both 2006 and 2008 opening the door to the NC game. UGA didnt get so lucky when OSU won all those close games in 2002.

Patrick make it easy! All Comferences have 12 teams and a Champion. 1o leagues and a playoff. 10 teams make it hard but 2 will get leftout on their SOS and record. 8 teams play and then extend the chance a PRO career could be lost. That would make a 17 games to find the Champ. I don’t think so. Div II and Div III is ok because they are lil boys. Big Boy NCAA football doesn’t need 17 games to find a champ. Play every team in your comference and we should know the 2 best teams to play for IT ALL.

I appreciate your passion, but we will just have to disagree. No doubt you have a great coach who handles himself like a Christian and Urban is…..well he is Urban. Can’t say that I wish Urban had a different personality, but he is what he is. Most Gator fans tolerate his antics because he puts a great product on the field. This years team should actually be better on offense but not too sure about the D, especially the coordinator. If his secondary with the AZ Cardinals is any idication on how he coaches, the offense will need to avg about 35 points a game.

Ok you said we disagree. But you failed to mention about what. I never said Fla was not good. I merely pointed out that UGA and Fla have identical records and had UGA had there SEC title in 2006 or 8 instead of 2002 they would have been invited to the NC due to USC’s failure to take care of business. And If Fla had there SEC title in 2002 they would have been shut out. Hence the NC is not all that impressive.

ga gator, I was at the Saturday scrimmage and the defense dominated. My only real concern with the D is gonna be across from Jenoris Jenkins. A dominant rush DE would be nice too, although we should be solid and deep all along the DL. With linebackers Jon Bostic and Jelani Jenkins along with veterns A.J. Jones and Hicks, we won’t miss a beat. And Beal and Lo Edwards have been playing very well…depth galore. And veterans at the safeties…don’t you worry ’bout a thing!

His whole premise is that Florida and Meyer simply got lucky and that’s the reason for their success. That way he doesn’t have to acknowledge Meyer’s abilities while at the same time explaining why his team can’t seem to get there. Of course, if UF is lucky, he will say how UGA is conversly, unlucky. It’s the old story of should’ve, would’ve, could’vee. At the same time, he tries to minimize the achievement of winning the ultimate prize by trying to minimize it. With SEC schools like rival UF, Bama and LSU having achieved the highest level, I’m sure that kind or mindset makes it easier than looking in the mirror and saying “why haven’t we??”

Its not that UGA is not as good of a program as either of the two, they have just been luckier than UGA. And that’s the truth. Fla was fortunate enuff (lucky) that it got its SEC titles in a year a superior team (USC) choked and allowed Fla into the game. OSU was not as good as UGA but to their credit they squeaked out a win in several games they should have lost in 2002 keeping UGA out.

In 2002, Ohio State went 12-0 in the regular season with a paltry five-point win over Wisconsin, a miniscule six-point win over Penn State, and a pathetic 10-6 win over Purdue where Craig Krenzel threw a 37-yard touchdown pass on fourth down in the final two minutes.
Then the Buckeyes needed a sadly pathetic overtime to beat Illinois and beat Michigan 14-9 with a miracle touchdown with less than five minutes remaining. Ohio State could have seen its national championship dreams derailed several times but to the Buckeyes’ everlasting credit, they always found a way to win.
Mark Richt’s best team at Georgia (12-1 with a loss to Florida), which finished No. 3 in the BCS Standings, just needed for Ohio State to lose one of those games and the Bulldogs are in the Fiesta Bowl against Miami.

Champions? UGA has 12 to Fla’s 8 in the SEC title games

UGA has 5 NC’s according to Nationalchamps.net to Fla’s 3. Looks like UGA dominates in all categories.

Fla would have to win 7 in a row to become a rivalry. Since UGA leads the series by 7 games. That would take 3 quarters of a decade merely to CATCH UP

Since you are so fond of playoffs, the SEC playoffs started when the conference split. How many you got since then?
patrick

someone else? Why? No other coach can claim the following. Not even close
.
.UNDER Richt
Vs. SEC foes: 43-22
.
Vs. Top 25 foes: 29-18
.
Vs. Top 25 foes away from home: 18-12
.
Vs. Top 10 foes: 8-6
.
In postseason games (bowls and championships): 9-3
.
In games decided by a touchdown or less: 34-14
.
Record at home: 46-9
.
Record on the road: 42-6 (including bowl games)
.
Losses to unranked teams: 6
.
Top 25 finishes: 8
.
Top 10 finishes: 6
.
Fact:………UGA was 12-1 in 2002 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Fla was 12-1 in 2006 (prior to bowl selections)
.
Fact ………Not UGAs fault there were 2 unbeatens that year. “unlucky”
.
Fact……….Not Flas credit that there was only one unbeaten in 2006. “Lucky”
.
Fact:………Luck (not merit) had more to do with Fla getting an invite to the BCS not that Fla was more deserving to go to a NC than UGA with identical records.
.
Fact:………No SEC team has ever lost a BCSNC game and if UGA would have been invited nothing indicates that it would have been different
.
Fact……….UGA has 2 SEC titles..same as Fla in last 9 years and equal amount of total wins (90) over all.
.
Fact……….UGA has been ranked more times top ten in last 9 years than any SEC team at 6. Fla has only been ranked top ten 3 times in 9 years (real impressive).
.
Fact……….In 9 years under Richt no SEC team has more wins
Fact………..UGA has won 4 str8 bowls….more than any other SEC team.
.
Fact……..UGA has won 11 of last 13 bowls…Thats more than any team (tied with LSU and more than FLA)
.
Fact…… UGA has won 8 or more games in last 13 years…more than any other team in the nation including Fla.
.
Fact…….UGA is clearly as good or better than any SEC team over last 9 years. Only a fool or a fan of the mythical BCSNC selection process (non playoff) would think otherwise.
.
Fact…….UGA had same record when they won the SEC title in 2002 as Fla did in 2006/8 when they won the SEC title. But UGA had the misfortune (luck) to have that record in a year that had 2 other teams with undefeated records.
Hardly an indictment on UGA but rather on the NC selection process.
6 times finished in the top 10
2 times finished in the top 3
3 SEC Championship Appearances
2 SEC Titles
3 BCS Bowls
2 Sugar Bowl wins
90-27 record over 8 seasons – 79% winning percentage (one of only 7 in the history of college ball to have ever accomplished this)
4 str8 bowl wins
7-2 in bowls (big games)
Mark Richt coached QB coach for Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke = 2 Heismans; Head Coach for David Greene = all time winningest college QB until Colt McCoy this year); and coached Matthew Stafford = very rich #1 draft pick)

I am sorry. It is the sad truth. UF has spanked the Dawgs. I am a huge UGA fan and supporter since… well, birth… growing up in Central Florida (geting in fights because the Gators could never manage to get passed UGA. But, they have owned Jax, and until the Dawgs can beat them at least two years in a row, the Gators get to wear there @$$es on their heads like crowns and talk smack day and night. That’s the way it works, folks, all records and stats aside.

CEO Mark,
Here’s how VanGorder’s defenses played against the Gators.
2001 – UF scored 24 points
2002 – UF’s offense scored 14 points (plus the Gator DEFENSE scored 6 points when they returned a pass for a TD)
2003 – UF scored 16 points
2004 – UF scored 24 points
Those numbers may not sound “dominant” but they gave the UGA offense a chance to win the game. Compare these numbers to the last couple years in which Georgia’s defense really stunk it up (allowing 40-something points) against the Gators. I’m not saying that BVG would’ve beaten the 2009 Gators, but his defenses would have at least kept the score respectable instead of letting the Dawgs get embarrassed.
