Richt: ‘I understand why everybody’s bent out of shape’

The boys always have our full support, the coaches not so much. Pay J. Green returning and a pretty favorable schedule make a few wins now very possible, so lets hold our water. Gotta say wasn’t a big fan of Murray, but he is a gamer, just don’t get him killed trying to make things happen. Coach Richt, take over play calling and let Bobo go back to QB coach where he belongs. Maybe I shouldn’t assume he belongs there either. Just saying. Coach Grantham, if your guys who have been playing football all their lives can’t figure out your system, or don’t fit in it, either give someone else a chance or go back to 4-3. It’s not freakin rocket science.

Are you kidding me? One kid, two kids arrested does not a pattern make… Ten kids and I believe 40 kids over the last several years..now that’s a disturbing pattern. We either are recruiting thugs or there is a lose of discipline and control. Or both.

This ‘play harder’ racket is always the coach smoke for a weak system.

Richt runs this team as though it were an AAU basketball team – throw the kids out there and tell them to make something happen.

We need a system. We need players to do a job when they get out there.

When the players and the assistant coaches all underperform, it points to one guy.

Think that would fly? The road to %$#@ is paved with good intentions. Don’t confuse work and results. Maybe Richt and staff are working on the wrong things? The caller who suggested the program was out of control was right. No discipline off the field translates to no discipline on the field. 10 arrests this year and something like 40 in the past several? How can any other conclusion be made than a loss of contriol?

The end is inevitable. The only question is when. McGarity needs to understand that Georgia is still Georgia. This fan base while irrational in it’s expectations is equally venomous when it comes to turning on a coach. I know of no example where a coach has lost the faith of his fan base in the SEC and recovered to lead his troops to greatness. He’s done, Kaput, finis, stick a fork in him. The Emporer has no clothes and he’s flailing about trying to grab a life preserver and the great Georgia fans as always are throwing concrete blocks at his head when he bobs up.

If CMR were the CEO of a publically held corporation , he would do the following at this point :
1)Meet with the Chairman of the Board (McGarity) and committ to 3 wins in the next 4 games.
2)If this doesn’t happen, CMR would agree to submit his resignation to the AD at that time for consideration. McGarity would either accept his resignation after 8 games or wait until the end of the year to reconsider.

Promises, promises… we have to respect ball security; cut down on penalties; cut out off field arrests; play smarter, etc. CMR is a good man with integrity whom I have been proud of to lead our team for 10 years. Unfortinately he has lost control of the team and appears lost when trying to evaluate talent and (lack of) coaching. If we do change coaches and get nothing but dedicated , disciplined young men who put the team ahead of me and don’t embarrass themselves or their school, we will have have earned a measure of respect and we can go from there.

Funny how all you Dawg fans make up all those excuses for your slightly above average coach. Yall say we don’t have the talent that other SEC teams have. HUM BUG! Year after year UGA is blessed with a top tier recruitment class. What happens to all of this talent? Year after year they fall below expectations and never can win a big SEC game. Face it Dawg fans yall are stuck at being mediocre and will always be as long as you continue to hire mediocre coaches. Ray Goff was bad, Mark Ricth is mediocre. Good coaching starts with discipline. He can’t control his players on or off the field. On the field, they are the most penalized team in the SEC, off the field they have the most arrests of any team in the SEC. Nobody cares what his overall record is. Ask him what his record is against opponents ranked first to 15. However, what are your options? There’s slim pickings out there when it comes to finding a coach that can win in the SEC.

Outsider’s observation – I posted here back in the spring an observation that I had about Ga. football. In a recent Bobby Bowden interview, he said that if he had it to do over again, he would recruit differently. I think THAT, is Ga’s problem. We watched SC do the same thing under Holtz. That is, worrying more about the stars on the stat sheet than the character of the player and their ability to perform in your system.

I have tried to stay out of this, not really knowing what to say. However, it is hard and therefore I will throw a little something on the table.
Not one of the bloggers above has centered on recruiting. There are many, and I emphasize many, young men that are recruited by our opponents that we don’t even offer. I keep up with recruiting daily, and I just don’t understand. Now, if a kid is offered by say Bama, and we don’t because of off field issues, then he goes to play for Nick Saban, why doesn’t he continue with his off field issues? I would guess everyone reading this knows – Saban isn’t going to stand for it! The kid is probably told from the beginning that if you want to play for Alabama, you will follow the rules or you may never get to the NFL.
We reside in the fourth richest recruiting state in the USA, yet way too many of our best go elsewhere. We can’t get them all, but we can sure get more of them with discipline and guidance. From this comes results. I don’t think enough of these kids at UGA want to get to the league, or at least they don’t want to pay the price to get there. If they don’t bust it on the field, they get overlooked. If they get overlooked, the luxury SUV’s and homes will be merely a dream. How many NFL scouts are paying attention to those players that don’t bust it?
Discipline has got to be instilled, beginning today. Those of us that have it, are walking and working as free men. Those that don’t, are most probably in jail.

“…maybe keep Garner because he can recruit but that’s it.”

Why keep Garner? UGA is 0 – 3 in the conference! Are you sure he can recruit? Are you sure he can coach? UGA is 0 – 3 in the conference!

Maybe that is part of the problem, Garner, and maybe others, has been there so long he is fat and happy and does not push himself like he once did?

Just asking.

I have no idea what is wrong with UGA not winning football games. With 10 atraight top 10 recruiting classes UGA should only lose an occassional game to the very elite teams. But lately they are losing to the “also rans” both in and out of the conference. So there is a problem.

The question on the table is – What is the problem?

McGarity said the team is acting like they’re 4-0, for attitude’s sake. I think they should approach every game like they’re 14 points down (behind) from the start. If they would have played the entire Miss. St. game like they did in the 4th quarter of the Arkansas game, they would have beaten them.

The Dawgs performance (and playbook) should be wide open every down, like playing from behind. They can win a number of games this season if they’ll just play wide open with passion… the entire game. Theirs game plan (and play) are too conservative and laid back – until they get behind. Go Dawgs… still believing in you!

Mark Richt on the call in show is not going to answer any questions about Bobo. Caller should have known better. Mark’s loyalty to his coaches is evident in the example of Willie Martinez.
With a new AD in house now this loyalty may come to an end.
One question I have as a fan and season ticket holder of 30 plus years is why is the talent we recruit not being coached up?
Logan Grey – Number 1 player out of the state of Mizzou.
Marlon Brown – Number 1 player out of the state of Tenn.
Geathers- Number 1 D player from the state of S>C>
Ealey- Number 1 player from the State of GA.
Branden Smith- Number 1 D player from the state of GA.
A.J. Green – number 1 reciever from the state of S.C.
Orson Charles- Top 5 player out of Fla. by the way has been thrown to 4 times in 4 games.
Caleb King- States number 1 running back
Burnett- number 1 lineman from the State of Ga.
You could go on and on listing the top recruits we’ve gotten the past few years that somehow we’ve not coached up.
These players don’t come out of high school and forget how to play.
Forgot to mention Ken Malcome the running back that’s probably being redshirted,
Arron White- 1 pass this season.
These kids pratice hard and play hard, but at times our whole team looks like they are simply not prepared.
The answer from the coaching staff when a player is not being used in a game is “They haven’t learned the system yet”
My question to CMR is, What is our system?

Over the next couple of UGA home games, AD Greg McGarity will be talking with and listening to the influential $$$ alumni. He will also be looking to see the stands and how full or empty they are at kick off and how quickly they might empty out if there is a bad game.

UGA is in deep trouble. The alumni for the most part have bailed on CMR and his era. They appreciate the first five years but they also recognize that the SEC is far superior in coaching talent than 7 or 8 or 9 years ago. UGA in their eyes has not kept up with the ferocious recruiting here in Georgia ………………and they know that it has hurt UGA. They want to know …………why???

The alumni expect UGA every year to have a stable of high quality running backs and big, beefy, nasty, strong linemen. This has been the basic staple of UGA football for 50-60 years. We do not and they want to know why??

This year is not the year that fans look the other way. That year was 2009. This year they expected a minimum of 8 or 9 regular season wins …………… not to lose just about all of our SEC games going over two years. This one fact is simply too much for the UGA fans to take anymore.

Richt is in deep trouble. Recruits? Well, come to UGA if you want to represent your state and if that is not good enough ……………..sign somewhere else. UGA will not be held hostage to the argument that if we let Richt resign or fire him that so and so will not come play. No, that is exactly the tail wagging this dog and we have seen too much of that crap lately at UGA.

Go Dogs.

Because we cant beat FL but everyone else in the SEC sure can, with less talent

What is the result

Coaches from other teams tell recruits, why go to UGA when they cant beat FL,

do you want to sit at home and watch the SEC championship or have an opportunity to play in the game

McGarity is in a tough spot……….You put Mark on a “notice” or short rope, that kills recruiting.
This ” I’m going to Georgia for the University” is pretty much crap. Coach’s, schemes and depth charts are the Biggest factors. If Mark get’s a ONE YEAR REPRIEVE, recruiting is toast.

I’m not happy with a 1 – 3 record but I’m a Bulldog supporter. Coach Richt and his staff are working overdrive to improve the team and fix the problems. I’m going to stand behind them and support the team the rest of the season. The main problem is the lack of a decent running game. The offensive line has been dissapointing and we don’t have a great running back. The defense plays good most of the time but they give up a couple of big plays a game and those mistakes have been costly. Maybe they are still learning their assignments in the new defense, I don’t know. I thought that Grantham was good hire but things haven’t progressed as hoped for. Coach Richt is a classy guy and a good coach. I’m supporting hin and the players while they work out the problems and they will work out the problems. Richt has shown that he will make the changes that are necessary.

“Real Bulldog fans” are the ones criticizing the current coaching staff. Other top programs do not collapse as far as Georgia has. Good coaches don’t let that happen. For those who still believe in Richt, well just keep rearranging those deck chairs, I’m sure you can keep the Titantic afloat.

Rumor has it that :

Gene Bleymaier, Boise State Athletic Director, telephoned McGarity this morning to inquire about scheduling UGA as a football opponent for the next 5 seasons. The reason he gave was that Boise State wanted to soften their football schedule a bit. They’re interested in playing UGA and dropping a FCS school off their schedule.

Mobil Dawg said it best yesterday……The “culture’ with this team and staff have major issues.
If this story is true about Richt going to Grantham after the first game and telling him not to “talk” to boys that way or in that tone, that’s all i need to hear. We’ll be mediocre from here on out. We need change….It’ll be good for us and Mark…..He can go to the ACC, get his buddy Willie back and Bobo and go win 7-8 games a year somewhere and be happy.

If I were CMR I would have pulled a Spurrier(by being painfully honest) and said that the talent level at UGA is not where it normally is. I would have said the O Line is weak and feeble and the special teams is slow and boring. I would have also said that our defense is small and not ready to contend for an SEC East crown anytime soon. It’s the truth and everyone in the SEC knows it…. So just be honest and get it out there. The truth hurts but it needs to be said.

The problem starts with Rodney Garner. Yeah, he recruits 4 & 5 star guys but NONE of them have been leaders. We have no leadership on either side of the ball and it has been that way since Pollack/Greene. Once we ge those recruits, we don’t seem to toughen them up. The strength and conditioning coaches should be feared by players not best friends. Good riddance to Van Halanger and Garner. Someone needs to tell these guys that this is tackle football not two handed touch. Watch films of the Bears/Greenbay game last night and that’s how you tackle. Lowering your shoulder and hoping the ball carrier goes down doesn’t cut it even in Peewee football. Ever heard of wraping up and driving them into the dirt? By the way, take Bobo with you. He was a pitiful QB and now he’s calling plays? Maybe that’s why our field goal unit is so good.

Let me ask this Question, which year would you have fired Coach Dooley when he had bad seasons? Because he had more than Coach Richt, with fans like yall UGA would never have had a National Championship. Here’s Coach Dooley’s record, and by the way Coach Erk Russell was with Coach Dooley though all the bad times and the good.

Coach: Vince Dooley – 1964 – 1988

1964 (7-3-1), 1965 (6-4-0), 1966 (10-1-0), 1967 (7-4-0), 1968 (8-1-2), 1969 (5-5-1), 1970 (5-5-0), 1971 (11-1-0), 1972 (7-4-0), 1973 (7-4-1), 1974 (6-6-0), 1975 (9-3-0), 1976 (10-2-0), 1977 (5-6-0), 1978 (9-2-1), 1979 (6-5-0), 1980 (12-0-0), 1981 (10-2-0), 1982 (11-1-0), 1983 (10-1-1), 1984 (7-4-1), 1985 (7-3-2), 1986 (8-4-0), 1987 (9-3-0), 1988 (9-3-0)

Alot of you fans (short for fanatic) don’t understand football. Yes Georgia has been in the hunt for a national title a couple of years (stafford, Moreno years) But when you don’t win it you have a couple of down years. But richts down years were never really that bad. So please quit all your whining and crybabying we will go back to the top. Ask yourself how many years before richt came did you finish the season in the top ten? How many years has richt finished in the top ten 5 (6 if you count the usa today poll) look at his record 01 8-4 02 13-1 03 10-3 04 10-2 05 10-3 06 9-4 07 11-2 08 10-3 09 8-5 in the last 9 years he has been under 10 wins 3 times out of 9 gimme a break.

You know, as bad as it is, and I’ve seen worse in Athens, it still beats having to sit in a stadium in Atlanta, where the ticket booth operators have to report on Gameday, to try and sell tickets to anyone they can persuade to come in and watch their high school offense led by their “heisman” trophy candidate QB attempt to beat some inferior ACC team. Yep———–I’d rather watch paint dry than be subjected to the nerds doing their “whiteout”.
Trust me————and Tech fans know this—————this situation in Athens will come to an end SOON. UGA will once more get their act together————–but Tech————————–Hell, not even Saban or Meyer could do anything for that program. 100 years from now——–one will still be able to walk up and buy a ticket to a game in Atlanta from the ticket booth.

Mr.Richt says he is a christian man so he can’t engage in violence. He can’t let his team hurt their opponents because that’s not the christian way. His defense has to wrap up instead of knocking their opponents silly the way MS knock Ealey silly. His team has to play passive football because that’s the christian way.

All,

We could go back and forth for years on this. Some who think Richt is fine and needs time, and some who see trends and are disturbed this staff gets paid to underperform.

I have one simple pondering question for everyone. Should this, or any coaching staff be competent enough to know, by looking at this team in practice and during spring/summer drills, how it would perform on Saturdays

Didn’t they see this coming? With all the wonderfull experience they have watching this “winning” talent Richt has coached since ‘01, shouldn’t the glaring weaknesses we see now on Saturdays show in summer camp? How come these problem areas weren’t addressed prior to us going 0 for 3 in conference?

Competency people. How come we all aren’t objectively looking at the competency of this staff intelligently? Are smart, informed fans supposed to believe that this performance has come as a big shock to the staff that, by some accounts from fans, should know how to build top 5 championship contending teams? Or maybe some people just overestimate their abilities..

Answers?

Richt is still the guy – and should be, for now. His winning percentage is 77%. Dooley’s was 72% and Walley Butts a mere 63%. If Dooley hadn’t had Hershel, he’d have never won a Nat Champ. However, he ought to be putting the hard sell on AJ to come back next year and make it up to the team he screwed. He also ought to dock Granthem’s pay $1000 for every missed tackle. Heck, Granthem would owe UGA money by now.

It’s time for a change at UGA. We all know what a GREAT person Mark Richt is and a definitely a “role model” for kids. The problem lies more in the business apsect of college athletics and the overall direction of this program. Mark was successfull when the competition was less challenging and not the calibur of National Championship success.

With the introduction of Saban, Meyer, Spurrier, and so and so on, Richt has failed to improve this program and implement a system that maximizes UGA’s talent/players. It’s not an indictment of Richt as a man/peron, it’s more of not adapting and incrementally increasing your team’s overall success. The idea that changing a coordinator would do the trick, is to miss the point all together. When a team has lost all the fundamental principles that lead to success (tackling, blocking, penalties, special teams, off field transgressions) then it’s evident that the direction/message has been lost in translation.

I’m not proud of every imposing or calling for the firing of anyone’s job, but the overall state of UGA’s football team has been & is heading in a direction that no owner/GM/Athletic director can overlook…it’s time for change.

Altamaha, as far as results go what Richt says won’t change anything. It’s results we’re all looking for.

I think if he came out and outlined what he thinks the problems are, as generally as possible, yet being somewhat specific, as I mentioned in my comments, it could serve to calm some of the fever pitch Bulldog Nation is working themselves into. I for one would like to know he recognizes strength and conditioning is a problem, and he’s going to fix it. I would like to know that he’s going to take the discipline issues to the laundry and clean them up, or not field a football team, kick everyone off if necessary. I for one would like to know that he’s looking for the best coaches in the land for our problems; a simple statement saying “I know there are people that think certain coaches aren’t performing. It’’s my job to evaluate their performance, everyone, everything in the program is being looked at for possible solutions.” I would like to know why our guys aren’t motivated to play 100%, and if guys aren’t giving 100% sit them down. Tough love may lead us to a few more losses short term but at least I would know he’s trying. Why would these things be so hard to say? Unless I see something concrete, I’m going to keep pushing for change, anyway I can. I’m tired of seeing the definition of insanity, but it seems to fit here right now.

Unfortuately, I’m of the belief he’s let the infection fester to long to be healed. I’m to the point I just want to feel better as a patient. I would give CMR my support for another year if he sold me that he was going to fix things. His lack of talking about the problems, his track record of not addressing the problems in a timely manner, and not giving me conclusive evidence that he’s capable, lean me in the direction that a change is necessary.

There are enough people like me in Bulldog Nation to cause a change in Athens. It really is up to CMR to convince us that “CHANGE” isn’t the answer and isn’t necessary

Welcome back “ole dawg”. If that’s the real you….

And to not see something is wrong with the OC especially when your down 31-0 at halftime against AL with 4 top NFL draft picks on offense

DawgTruth, Richt’s winning percentage is closer to 75% (you said 77%) and has been dropping fast. Dooley had to play Clemson every year instead of a directional school or I-AA team. I don’t think anyone even knew that such schools as Idaho State and La.-Monroe existed until scheduling them became all the rage.

Also, look at Dooley’s history. He got by with a bad season or a couple of bad seasons because his teams always responded with a big year. This was supposed to be Richt’s big bounce-back year, with the new hotshot defensive coordinator and entire offense coming back. It ain’t happening.

I mean if Ealey doesn’t fumble in the SC game UGA wins it. His fumble against Miss. St. hurt just as much. It reminds me of that receiver that kept dropping wide open passes in like 2000,2001, what was his name ? I forgot.

@ bo (9.08am): yep, that’s where it starts. i’d love to see us run the ball out of formations other than the I (this IS a playcalling issue), but even when we’ve done that there haven’t been any creases for our kids to run it. nothing works if you aren’t getting hats on people and moving them; to say we haven’t done that is to say something very obvious.

a buddy of mine (a bama fan) watched the MSU game and said, “i would fire your OL coach tomorrow. your linemen get stood up every play, and your backs have nowhere to go.” i think he’s right.

Alabama went 6-6 in Saban’s first year using Shula’s players. Look what they have done since using the players he recruited. Richt is not in te same universe as Saban, much less the same league.

As for who I would get? Jim Harbaugh from Stanford. He has made them a tough physical smash mouth program. Exactly what we need here at Georgia. My bet is he will end up at Michigan when they run Rodriguez out of town. Snooze you lose! I say go get him at the end of the season.

Lake Oconee Dawg has hit upon a good point if you read it. Motivation come’s from within. If we sold motivation at the gas pump, or with speeches, or with rewards, or pay raises, etc, we only get what you call “short term motivation”. However, when you skin the onion another layer you know self motivation only occurs naturally when one is placed in an environment conducive to being self motivated. Play like a champion means absolutely nothing if your not in an environment conducive to building champions.

This program has coincidentally been sinking since 2006, hardly noticable at first but once the ship was taking on water, it went down quickly. We did have leaders for a while as players. Those players inspired others around them. As attrition took place over the years there were suddenly no players left who knew how to inspire those around them. With a vacuum in Leadership we are where we are.

Let me refresh your thoughts, we were running plays at the end of the game, just to run plays. Probably not the right plays.

I guess I’m a moron as well Patrick, because I agree that it’s been a downhill slide since ‘06. The No. 2 ranking after ‘07 only shows how screwed up the system is. Georgia was flat awful the first half of the year – should have been 4-3 heading into the WLOCP but Vandy gagged away their second straight win over us (contemplate that for a second).

The second half run was nice, but how many of our opponents were any good? Florida lost 4 games that year, Auburn was ok but not great, Troy, Tech, Hawaii…not exactly a murder’s row.

That beatdown at Tennessee was a harbinger of things to come. Games where Georgia just flat doesn’t show up for a half or an entire game. Actually that started on New Year’s Day 2006, in the Sugar Bowl.

2004 was really the last time I felt that Richt was a great coach. Maybe not so coincidentally, it was Van Gorder, Pollack, and Green’s last year at UGA.

More wins in Jax is awesome! Have you seen his Ford commercial? He is by far the least inspiring coach on that commercial…and the ’roundest’ coach on that commercial too. If he can’t inspire you to buy a truck like the other coaches do you really think he can inspire his players like the other coaches can?

Patrick,

If you want to see someone getting their tails kicked with facts look no further than how you ran your mouth about how UGA was gonna cruise to an undefeated season and National Title this year.

How many of those years with top 10 finishes did UGA beat UF? only twice and once was with a lame duck Ron Zook as the head coach.

How many national titles does UGA have compared to UF? 1 to their 3.

It’s funny how you continue to act so completely foolish with your weak rationale and lae rhetoric when anyone in their right mind, which you obviously are not, knows that for the last 20 years UF has been all that and then some of what you could only hope UGA would be.

No one cares who is leading the series record when 80% of your fanbase hasn’t seen a winning record vs. UF in their lifetime. I also guess that you should never utter a word of smack toward Tennessee fans if thats the case because they own the series lead vs. UGA.

You are a sad and pathetic embarassment to true UGA fans and it gets more and more comical that youre right back here with your pathetic drivel after being SO WRONG about UGA vs. anyone not named Lousiana Lafeyette.

Keep claiming you will beat the Gators this year and we will keep looking forward to your pathetic spin when you don’t.

FACE it the FACT is UF has a MUCH better Head Coach and UF has a more talented team. That’s been true for the better part of 20 years and no matter what BS spin you throw out there that’s not changing anytime soon. One day you may grow up and realize how dumb and pathetic you sound.

@ED

I agree with you. A slide did start in 06. VanG and Calloway and the atmosphere of the previous 5 years was dissipating. We saw it again in 07 with TN b!tchslapping us around for 28 points. I did and do believe by the end of that year (07) nobody could beat UGA. Hawaii was an insult in the Sugar Bowl. 08 it was becoming clearer. Ranked #1 in the country but couldn’t put away the baby seals early and dropped in the polls like a stinky turd even though we were winning, all up and until the Bama game where we got exposed for the weaklings were were. Then it was glaring yet, as most fans choose to ignore it. It has been steadily declined every game since.

Tony Bonehead is right, were not very good. I however defy that it is the players. We have good players. We have no leadership from the coach on down. We have no plan and to date I still haven’t heard of one. No plan, no desire, no drive, no discipline. I want to see CMR turn it around. I really do, however, I have no faith in him doing so.

Pats on the back sometimes, and of course many times famously getting after the player’s ###, something the current Georgia staff appears incapable of. Good motivation, tough as nails motivation, this program is without that essential ingredient. The Lombardi Trophy – there’s a good reason they call it that name.

It’s fine that several people on this site are loyal to Coach Richt, and that is to be expected. However, when you lose control of a program on as many fronts as he has, it is simply time for big changes. This is not an overnight situation where so many things are falling apart, and it appears to be the culmination of several factors. Loyalty is a great quality to exhibit, blind loyalty is something else altogether. And you are more than welcome to keep him as your coach at whichever school he ends up, and I’m sure he will appreciate it when that time comes.

Had Coach Richt done what he had to do last year and did not, we still would be in this situation.

Mike Bobo and Willie Martinez is what everyone said this time last year.

Coach Richt issued statements this time last year that he would NOT be getting rid of ANYBODY.

Then, he fired Willie Martinez and everyone SHUT UP.

I alone sat here and said the problem is on the offense, that we cannot recruit players any longer because the entire offensive coaching staff is not viewed by the recruits as being useful to them in getting to the next level.

Now, here we are.

And, where is it that we are ?

3-8 vs Top 10 Final AP Poll teams in Coach Richt Era

17-21 vs Top 25 Final AP Poll teams in Coach Richt Era

9 losses vs NON Top 25 Final AP Poll teams in Coach Richt Era

10 years and we have won 3 meaningful games. # 4 vols 2001 but LOST 4 games 2001, a FLUKE win therefore. # 9 Auburn 2006 but AGAIN LOST 4 games 2006, a FLUKE win therefore. # 6 LSU 2005 but LOST 3 games 2005. 10 years and those are the ONLY Top 10 Final AP Poll teams we beat, just those 3, and all 3 years we have 11 LOSSES.

I am sorry that is NOT good enough, not to mention the 9 LOSSES to NON Top 25 Final AP Poll teams in the Coach Richt Era.

21 losses to Top 25 and 9 losses to not Top 25 equals 30 losses.

We could go into the details, but what is the sense ?

Coach Richt in 10 years has done little on the field beating great teams, beating good teams, and not losing to horrible teams.

He has been hit with big huge off-field issues.

The ONLY PRESS he generates is BAD PRESS.

We hired an assistant coach that now we pay $ 3 million a year to.

He was supposed to have by year 10 of his regime, learned the accountability of being a head coach.

• Report this comment

Well, again, let’s look at the actual record :

21 LOSSES only 17 wins vs Top 25 Final AP Poll teams, not horrible but NOT great

8 LOSSES only 3 wins vs Top 10 Final AP Poll teams, & those 3 wins those 3 years are accompanied by 11 losses, so the years Coach Richt was supposed to be GREAT, he beat NO ONE.

9 LOSSES to NOT Top 25 Final AP Poll teams.

Add to that that for the last 5 years now this season, we are 10-11 vs SEC East, # 2 in Fulmer Cup Standings, and # 21 in wins; and I believe a REAL head coach would look at that and say no their fans are not unreasonable. UGA should be able to hire a HEAD COACH with HEAD COACH EXPERIENCE, not another assistant.

I just don’t have any confidence in Coach Richt any longer. I do not think he knows how to do his job. Buy him out. He could have fired Mike Bobo last year, and he would not be in this situation today. He did not and he is. He is not getting his job done, therefore.

My well-publicized list found throughout the Internet now of the 21 teams with more wins after the 2005 season lists everyone 1 of those coaches. We hire a proven winner as head coach. Sure, fans of other teams will say we are dreamers, and that we are not that football program. But, we are. And, we can be. We just are not with Coach Richt. Move on.

To the fans who say we should be cheering them on; no, this is a time to evaluate. We are. You are not. Both groups of us, however, feel that what is going on is NOT TOLERABLE. The fans who say we should cheer them on, are unwilling to evaluate; and ignore that the coaching staff is blaming the players they recruited here and did not teach the skills to; and the players who are not performing are blaming the coaching staff. It goes on EVERY DAY.

Are you that blind ?

Are we South Carolina ?

Are we Arky ?

Are we Kentucky ?

Are we Georgia tek ?

We haven’t even played the great teams like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, or even Auburn.

Those who say we should cheer them on do so because they believe they can affect the recruiting by standing behind their players and their coaching staff. Instead, the recruits already know – did you really believe they are that STUPID that by us being supportive of a AVERAGE FOOTBALL PROGRAM for 10 years and certainly for the last 5 now this season of the 10 years – that great recruits would not FIND OUT we are POORLY COACHED ?

That we beat 3 teams in what could have been 138 games and those 3 wins were all 3 met those same 3 years with 4 losses, 3 losses, and 4 losses ? That the years we were “GREAT” we beat NO ONE ?

You make us look the fools. Who wants to play for fools ?

DISNEYdawgs.com call it like it is. That is unless your only interest in the team is Coach Richt’s Walk with Jesus. Because Coach Richt is NOT and has NOT in 10 years done the job of hiring a coaching staff. And, it is their job to recruit and then teach them these basic football skills.

Then, instead of 91 wins and 30 losses, we might have actually beat good teams more than they beat us and might even have strung together more than 1 great win every 3 and a third years all with 4 or 3 or 4 losses those every 1 and a third years.

And, I am DAMN TIRED of losing to now 9 teams who those years they beat us, even with their win over us, were NOT Top 25 teams.

On the top end, against really great teams, 3-8. Hell, we have teams in our conference who have more wins than that in ONE YEAR. And, we have 3 wins in 10 years against Top 10 Final AP Poll teams. All 3 FLUKES.

Thugs?? ha! a bunch of atlanta suburbians think stealing scooter helmets and hitting a parked car makes a thug. The guys that have gotten in trouble are not thugs and the ones that committed serious actions were kicked off the team. So, not sure how he “has lost control of the team”. Talk about over exaggeration. I hate all you “fans” who probably two years ago were talking about how great CMR and the DAWGS were and now want to crucify him and the team. You’re not fans and all your retarded comments about thugs and firing the whole coaching staff is less than helpful. Did any of you play football? my guess is not. You just blog about it and think you know what you are talking about. Its obvious all of you are perfect and never make mistakes either.

You know sitting here reading all the negative comment’s, one has to wonder, where would this football program be had not CMR not taken over the reigns. Get off the man’s back and give him the same chance and respect you’ve given the rest of the coaches over the years. A lot of you act as if we’ve never been in this position before. I’m from Georgia and have been a loyal dawg for over 25 years and have had to endure the —–ss whipins from teams such as Fl, Tenn, Au, etc, but i refuse to read the crap from some of you who probally never played a down of football and give your idiotic opinions on how the team is being ran. If you bleed “RED & BLACK” you’ll be patient and let this team come into it’s own. I know it’s tough to watch but there’s “THEM SILVER BRITCHES” to everything. GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing about CMR if he is so great at gromming QBs why did STAFFORD suck for two years and before his third year he went to the Manning QB camp and was awesome. Care to explain. Its a what have you done for me lately job and hes not done anything since 2007 when they played an inferior opponet in Hawaii.

I said it two seasons ago, and it has just been amplified this season. MR is no longer a first tier coach in the SEC, the toughest conference in football. He had already been well beaten, and passed, by championship coaches Saban, Meyer, Miles, and yes, Spurrier. Now, their former coordinators are whipping his tale (Mullin, the Miss. State coach and former UF coordinator). Right now he is perhaps the tenth best (or worst) coach in the SEC. I see only two games on the schedule as potential “sure” wins (and I’m not 100% on Vandy)..Vanderbilt and Idaho State. Every other game is either an almost certain or potential loss (UF –are you kidding me? that score will be something like 70-6; Auburn, Tech, even Tenn and Kentucky)….3 Wins, 8 or 9 losses is a real probability. Sunshine fans can talk all they want about how fine a man he is, great coach, blah blah blah..but the reality is in W & Ls,….the state of GA has top fifteen talent at least…any ranking lower than that is bad coaching, period. UGA will not play for, let alone win, any more championships under MR…EVER. His effectiveness as a championship coach is over. If the fans want to be satisified with 7-5, 8-4 seasons, and third tier bowls…MR is your guy. But if they want to compete for SEC championships again…well, I hope the new AD has Stanford’s Harbaugh and Boise State’s Witherspoon on his speed dial….

MR can’t control the players getting arrested, unless he tightens up the ship.

C’mon people, give Coach Richt a chance. Look at what he has done for the program within the last ten years. He has brought the program back into the nation’s eyes. Granted this year has been aweful but in comparison to Jim Donnan and Ray Goff, oh sorry is there any comparison??? As for the players that have been arrested, well Mark Richt is their coach, not their mom and dad. Seems that someone has failed in the discipline department LONG before Mark Richt ever came into the picture. Have a little faith. Coach Richt will get our Dawgs back on track!!!
