UGA player: Game-deciding fumble ‘felt like death to me’

These are the comments we used to hear from Georgia’s opponents…..will be a long airplane ride back…key mistakes, key penalties, bad special team play, poor tackling and execution….same issues for 3 years now….all signs of poor coaching. I think CMR has no idea where or when it started going downhill and no idea how to fix it because he doesn’t know what’s wrong…can’t correct the course when you don’t know how you got off course…

Love Richt, but this is going to be difficult to defend. Good guy, but the lack of discipline on and off the field again bites Georgia in the butt. If you want to be like the big boys (Florida, Alabama, et. al), then look at what the big boys do…and don’t do. They don’t leave a guy out there to make not one, not two, but three personal foul penalties. They don’t fumble trying to be cute when setting up to kick the winning field goal. They don’t get friggin’ dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage. They flat out don’t lose in Starkville or Boulder.

What has happened to this program? What happened to the strength and conditioning advantage Georgia enjoyed? Is it time for Van Halanger to go, or is it too late for all of them?

By the way, Techies: before you get crazy…30-24.

Richt must go. These thugs need discipline and guidance, and they are not going to get it from Mr. Mild-Mannered Poker Face. The reason Saban’s and Meyer’s players perform is that they fear their coach. We need a brain at OC, someone with some recent college coaching experience at DC, and someone with some passion at HC. Georgia has become a joke. They will be playing UTK for 5th place in the East next week.

What gets me the most is that there seems to be no sense of urgency by the coaching staff. Nothing has changed since the lost to South Carolina. The same bad play calling for the fourth week in a row. The same blown coverage assignments that lead to touchdowns. There have been three crucial fumbles that have cost us three crucial games, but CMR is singing the same song. As much as I hate to say it and as much as CMR has done for UGA football, his heart does not seem to be in the game any more. We could possibly be a 2 win team this year.

I have beat the Dawgs up for 4 straight weeks, but this is one week that I won’t pile on. For the first time this year, they actually looked like a team worthy of its SEC status. But at the end of the day, the attitudes and discipline problems always come back to bite you. The foolish roughing the kicker play along with a few more stupid penalties cost UGA this game. Don’t look now, but Tennessee is not a gimmee next week, especially after they just lost that fluke game up at LSU. I really wouldn’t want to play them before having a bye. DAWGS…WELCOME TO THE SEC!

The Caleb fumble definitely looked like a flea flicker. If so, UGA needs a change. The game was won. CU was being gashed for 10 yards per play on that drive. They were done. And this was called after an long TV time-out. If Richt doesn’t step down from his CEO position and start coaching some football, it’s gonna get a lot worse.

And … did you catch the CU coach’s interview after the game … “we do it the right way, we go to class and stay out of trouble” …. that hurts.

AJ’s second TD was great. He kicked in that extra step to catch up to ball. However, it was a very predictable from Bobo. Got the defensive stop. Got a big punt return. Bobo goes for the big play on 1st down from the 40 every time in that situation. My complaint is that when he misses, the drive consistenly stalls our. In this case, he put the defense right back on the field in the high altitude.

Someone tell me why we did not continue to put the ball in our best player’s hands. Green didnt get thrown to at all on the last drive. This team cannot line up and run when they know it is coming. On top of that, the RBs fumble in the crunch. So explain to me why we went back to it at a time when we are trying to win the ballgame? Even if he doesnt fumble, the play was blown up for a big loss. The announcers just got done saying that UGA got their two best offensive weapons back…Chapas and Green. Why were we not riding them into the end zone?

When Alabama needs a play…they go to Ingram. When the Falcons needed a play against the Saints they went to Gonzales. Good teams that WIN do that. When Bobo needs a play, he goes to the same guys that continue to not get the job done when it counts.

Mike Bobo continues to show an inability to analyze what plays work and continue to exploit them. If Mark Richt cannot recognize this and find someone who can, he will be on a serious hot seat.

Hey Rob

Who are we going to beat in order to have 3 win this year. Maybe 1 more because we play a 1aa team in nov.. Have we ever had a season where we didn’t beat a D1 school?

This is worst then any Ray Goof Team.It’s hard to believe how far we have fallen.I’m afraid we are now the worst team in the SEC. We will now become everyone’s homecoming game.

But lets be serious–our offensive line & defensive line are terrible & if we let every team we play push us around like rag dolls we will lose the rest of our games.I’m tried of everyone saying its the coaches fault for not coaching up our so called 4&5 star players.From what I have seen we have 1 five star player & everyone knows who that is(AJ) & a bunch of 1&2 star players & you can only do so much with that type of talent.Since our talent level is going down maybe CMR needs to give his players the WONDERLIC TEST & that would give him an idea of which players have the football smarts to play college football & maybe just maybe we might be able to coach those players up.

RECRUIT BETTER & WE WILL WIN & THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT

Please don’t ever mention Kirby Smart as a replacement for Coach Richt again. He proved he is no longer a Bulldog when he turned down the DC job. There are hundreds of better choices out there than Sabans puppet. Coach Richt should get one more year to turn it around but only if Bobo and his cronies are replaced. Coach Richt and Georgia were successful when he ran the offense and good coaches such as Van gorder were working with him. Jim Harbaugh is the Coach we want if CMR doesn’t work out. But I seriously doubt he would even consider UGA.

Blue..I’m glad you love UGA and think they can do better…i agree…but what do you mean by undercoached…don’t you believe the RB’s are taught to hold onto the ball..how many fumbles have led to our losses this year…The Rb’s are not taught to fumble the ball when they are hit…Our receivers are taught to catch the ball…how many are making plays like AJ when we need it…Do you think that Blair Walsh is taught to miss a field goal, especially at a crucial time in the game when that would have sent us to the locker room with even a bigger lead…I wont sit here and say that i don’t disagree with some of the playcalling at times, but the coaches can call all the right plays that they want to, but unless the players execute, then they want be successful…Yes i guess that has to be on the coaches, but if you really look at all the games that we have lost…any of the outcomes could have been different had some plays been made…I think people don’t realize that talent wise and leadership wise, this team is lacking what the bama’s and gators have…should we still be the Colorado’s and Miss State’s..we should, but this team doesn’t have the horses to be without one star player or able to make crucial fumbles at critical times and still win…I believe we are a few very talented players short…I believe that is what has changed the last 3 or 4 years..I just don’t accept the fact that Coach Richt has forgotten how to Coach…I remember at Penn State that they wanted to run Coach Joe Pa off and say he was to old and couldn’t relate to the players nowadays…well a couple of really good recruiting classes and all of a sudden he could coach again…My point here is that yes we should expect the dawgs to be competitive and i believe they have been, but for whatever reason the team lacks the senior leadership that i think is so needed…Maybe i’m wrong, and maybe it is all the coaches fault…Please remember where this program was before Coach Richt took over…I remember and it wasn’t very good…Coach Donnan was a good Coach, but was having trouble beating Tech…Coach Richt has a 8-1 record against Tech…Who will be the next savior of our program…and if changes need to be made how long will the next coach get to turn the program around…Will he only get one season..because that is what alot of people right now are saying our DC can’t coach and we made a mistake with him…How long does he get to get our defense to be a factor again..Everyone points to our recruiting classes as having been in the top 10 or what was it last year…top 20?…Who has been number 1 thru 3 for the past several years…Bama, Gators, LSU, Texas, USC…This is a tremendous year for the state of Georgia and if we get the ones we are after i think things will start to go forward again…but i agree the 1-4 start is probably going to be part of the equation for these recruits…I don know this that these recruits think a lot of Coach Richt and the dawgs coaching staff, they are not just looking at our record, but looking at playing time, the fan support, the facilities and the belief that they can be the one that makes the difference out on the field…go dawgs….

Believe me — Smart or Muschamp would be a disaster. We need Harbaugh or June Jones if we can lure one of them away from their current schools. Buy out Richt at the end of the year — no matter how much it costs. Did everyone see the lack of class by Derek Dooley after the TN-LSU game. Miles had to run him down going into the locker room to shake his hand. His interview after the game was pitiful too. I guess he didn’t pay a lot of attention to his Dad on the sidelines while growing up.

Anyone that thinks the fumbled handoff was a flea-flicker is a complete moron. There was a Buff defender right in king’s face and he had to do the best he could to try and get a positive outcome which ended up being a spin move that resulted in a fumble. Flea-Flicker my a$$. As for CMR…you cant blame that fumble on the exchange on him..you cant blame the fumble on the Miss. St. goal line on him…you cant blame the fumble agaisnt South Carolina on first and goal on him either…CMR did not make those mistakes he is just the coach of the team that did. Everyone of those mistakes could have changed the game entirely. As for being out coached, well that has been the problem the last 3 years…Love CMR, but he is in the same position that Fulmer was 2 years ago…Im not saying he needs to go but i dont think he will have a choice…Plus keeping him might help us land that Crowell kid who could help our struggling o-line like knowshon did based on how good he is.

The Dawgs will turn it around starting this week against UT. I will
revise my prediction to be a 7-5 regular season finish. They will lose only one more game (Auburn or Florida not both). They will win big against UT/Vandy/Idaho State and win close ones against KY/GT. Also, they
will win a mid-tier bowl game to finish 8-5.

Hard to believe or accept but the Dogs are down and even if Florida lost, we still have lost 4 straight. Something has to change. Bobo must at least be removed from calling the plays and Coach R take that position. Coach R must give some indication that he still has the passion to win.

I’ve been a CMR supporter all along but the truth is the program is in trouble, he’s been knocked out, and I don’t see how he can get up from. Arrests, undisciplined play on the field, and lack luster play equals time for a change in my book. Coachs can no longer cry foul once they started agreeing to make millions per year. They are paid to win and run a program that makes the school look good. We are doing neither right now.

There’s no discipline on or off the field and it’s embarrassing. Discipline is the responsibility of the coaching staff to instill, sometimes with tough love. CMR has lost control of this team, and inconsistent play-calling from Mike Booboo hasn’t helped. Bottom line the players don’t appear to fear or repect CMR as the program leader (maybe as a good Christian) and his ‘aww shucks’ attitude. Those Christian values aren’t being adopted by many players and explayers arrested for DUI’s, driving on a suspended license, and sexual assault. I hate to say it, but it’s time for a change. We need a coach like Saban (can’t stand the guy), who has a zero tolerance for BS and can strike fear into his players.

Where can the replay of the last drive fumball be seen? I only saw it live, but I thought something else was being set up. If it was a flea flicker and CMR is lieing about it, what does that tell you. Hear he goes again. Blames his players for something that is a coaching problem. I don’t want to hear anymore “good christian man” crap. If he was the “man” his deep supporters like to keep idolizing him for, he would stop blaming his players, take some responsibility, and make drastic changes. None of which will he do until he feels it is the last the he can do to save his job. Any coaching change would be better. Even if the new coach did not do better than CMR is doing now, it would send a much needed message that WE DON”T TOLLERATE THIS. then sooner or later we will find something that works. Look at Alabama, theyt we down ten years and went through several coaches. I don’t neccessarily want to be down for ten years, but it looks like we have already been down for about 5 and it looks like it is only getting worse. Change is inevitable, the question is how long do we want to wait and how far do we let our program slide until we do it?

Helpful hints for Dawg fans to help ease the pain.

10 other things for a UGA fan to do on fall Saturdays:

1. Mow the lawn. One more cutting should do it.

2. Go scouting for deer. Gun season starts in a couple of weeks.

3. Change the oil and rotate the tires.

4. Winterize the jon boat.

5. Check out the UGA clearance rack at Wal-Mart.

6. Grab a couple of vids at the Adult X Mart and make use of the Jergens.

7. Plant you a few rows of collards.

8. Sight in the rifles and give ‘em all a cleaning.

9. Clean up the clutter in the trailer.

10. Grab a case of Natural Light, sit under a big shade tree, enjoy the fall breeze, and just get smashed.

The coaches will never admit it but it was a flea flicker; Caleb’s spin around had the hallmark look of a back about to toss the ball back the QB. All we had to do was drive into position to kick a FG and win the game. It’s a true example of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I have found out one thing this year. You can take all these recruiting services and these so called experts that rate these recruits and fire all of them. Just another way to get money with these recruiting shows. UGA has many of these highly rated recruits. Well this is the dumbest, weakest group of athletes UGA has ever had. DB’s, LB’s, OL and RB’s are terrible. They don’t know how to win. And don’t give me this excuse, they haven’t been coached, it they are that good you wouldn’t see the dumb plays or guys getting out run like they are. Everybody needs to look at themselves in the mirror and say hey I need to work my butt off, but more importantly I need to learn to play the game the right way and make plays.

Anybody that knows the game and watches the games, know that UGA doesn’t have near the talent Bama has. I don’t believe a darn thing that these recruiting services say. UGA better quit listening to them also. That is one of the problems. We better start evaluating talent our selves and quit going on say so. Only one guy could start for Bama for sure and that is Green. Bama’s offensive line is so much more athletic, their DL, LB and DB’s are so much more talented. And of course the running backs don’t even compare. Bama players get out of position and recover. UGA players get out of position and just chase people.

Dawgs73..I agree. I would probably estimate that 90-95% of our 4 and 5 star players had offers from Alabama and Florida. Which means they were good enough in Saban’s and Meyer’s eyes to come play for their respective programs.But the difference is that in Tuscaloosa or Gainesville they would get coached up and have discipline instilled. We recruit and offer the same players as those two schools and they recruit and offer the same players as we do. Now answer me this. Is our luck so bad that ONLY the bad apples (thugs as some people like to call them) or the players with NO talent or NO discipline DECIDE to come to GA and ONLY the good apples or the players WITH talent and discipline DECIDE to go to AL & FL even though they ALL had offers at each school. NO, it has nothing to do with luck it’s called coaching and direction. As much as it pains me to say it because I truly admire CMR as a man we DO NOt have either right now.

This is certainly a dissapointing start to what should have been a decent season. Question: Why is Aaron Murray not playing in his second season and already producing even better as our quarterback? Answer: Because once again Richt thought it best to reward Joe Cox last year and start him when no other SEC team would have allowed him to be third string. This is an old story at UGA under Coach Richt. I mean, I like the guy, but this is SEC football. Not the place to be that nice. Also, it seems to me that we are seeing the developing of a culture at UGA football. Over the past 5 or more years we have seen the same problems every year. Fumbles, inability to make tackles, and of course the penalties. Then add in the off field problems with the arrests. Our former teams have been able to overcome these problems and win 10 to 8 games. Now that we have a team that is not quite as talented and poorly coached, these problems can not be overcome and we are losing the games we used to edge out. To me, it looks like a culture of behaivor that has been cultivated and will not be changed until the coaching staff is changed. Sad to see this but I fear this is the truth. However, don’t expect any real coaching changes to happen any time soon. It’s the Ray Goff syndrom all over again.

Why do we keep seeing articles where 1 play cost us? It wasn’t one play, it was the whole game. Why not the missed FG before half or the pick in the enzone Murry threw? The main factor is we aren’t any good and it starts at the top. If I was the coach, I wouldn’t even play A.J. to prove my point to the others who think they can get away with anything and damage the UGA. brand and their team mates season. No telling what our record would be if A.J. had played every game, but why should one player make a great impact like that for a big school like UGA? Look at the MO and desire we had when he was in on offense. Still, the D would have had to do their part, which they did while he played, but they slacked up as usual once we got the lead. We always get conservative when we are in the lead, that’s why most of our ganes go down to the wire.

Our recruits do have 5 star physical skills. The difference is their mental make up. Look in the players eyes when they show them on TV. No toughness or fire in them at all. The only ones that choose to play at UGA are the ones that are soft, lazy, and trying to get by on their god given physical skills without work. And then whens game time comes around and they are having their asses handed to them by equally talented athletes who do work hard they resort to that undisciplined thug mentality that they have shown in recent years. They know that they would be unable to play for a tough hard nosed football coach like Saban., The tough hard working kids want to play for a tough coach who will make them better. Georgia players lack toughness and heart and that rests solely upon Coach Richt .

UGA fans are pathetic as they are idiots. Your expectations were way to high for this team to begin with. New DC, new QB, untested in many areas, and what were your actual expectations. Seriously if you thought fo even a second this team had a chance at SEC champs, or further you really are drunk on your own koolaid. Can you say rebuilding?
Also, many posters have mentioned the fact UGAY continues to bank on the recruits MR brings in. Well by recruitng services (Insert joke here) they may get players, but it is becoming more obvious weekly and seasonally none of the coaches there do a good job of teaching up these players. Really, has A.J. Green gotten better than he was? He came in very good, and is still very good, but he had natural ability, and is an example of a player they recruit, but not going to next level in growth. Don’t missread, he is very good, but has he gotten better every year? Rennie Curran did, but name players that fit into these 2 columns and ask yourself the truth. You will see what other teams, fans and coaches have seen for a few years now. MR is soft and a replica of Bowden.
Also, great move running onto field in Florida game years ago, as I hope you liked the way it felt being run over in Colorado!
Oh by the way Sunday is not over so there is still time for a UGAY player to still be arrested today!

It was NOT a flea flicker; it was a standard, up the middle run play…
“I don’t know where the guy [defender] came from. I handed the ball off, and it just came out. That’s pretty much how it happened. You can’t blame Caleb King for that…”
‘as basic of a play as we’ve got’

The problem was the line letting the guy come through and bust the play. The defender hit Caleb just as the hand-off was being made.

All you Sunday Morning QBs are just brilliant. Fire Coach Richt? If yall were Penn St or Texas or even Flawduh fans, you’d be wanting to fire their coaches too (I won’t even mention Les Miles). ALL programs go through down times. Bear Bryant and Joe Pa have had down times. With “fans” like some of you here those two greats never would have made it. CMR’s record proves he can coach. To suggest he doesn’t have “fire” or “desire” or to suggest the players aren’t “in shape” (ad nausea) just shows your ignorance. No telling how many recruits we’ll lose if they read these posts from so-called fans who are ready to fire a good head coach. We’d be starting all over again…with another two or three years adjustment/rebuilding. You have no idea if Smart or Muschamp (or anybody else) would want to give up what they have and come to UGA. If Texas has the same kind of “fans”, Mack Brown could be a choice.

Yes, the Dawgs are down right now. Yes, it’s sickening and disheartening; even disgusting in some ways. But to suggest I know more about what “needs to be done” is the epitome of ignorance and arrogance. Yes, they need to play smarter; not make mistakes; not be out of position on defense; block better; protect the ball better; tackle better…and on and on. Heck, I’m not so sure about this 3-4 defense being installed when all the defenders have played all their lives is a 4-3. Going in, we knew we had a freshman, inexperienced QB. But, I think CMR has the ability to straighten out this ship.

Goooo Dawgs! Get ready to beat the Vols!

Not a hater. Love my Dawgs and always will! However, from a dollars and cents perspective, we are not getting the return on investment for the millions we are paying our coaches. Face it… Richt is a great man, and I will always deeply respect him. However, he has obviously been unable to inspire this team that not only cannot manage to win on the field, but cannot even live up to a higher moral and ethical standard that Richt espouses on a consistent basis off the field. I can handle not winning. I can handle the occasional player indiscretion, after all these are young men. However, the fact the fact that we can’t win on or off the field tells me there is something culturally wrong with this program. Ten arrests, really? Something is seriously wrong!!!!! The sooner we begin a wholesale change environment, the sooner we can get better.

This just from Boulder Colorado:

These folks can see what’s wrong with Georgia, the fans just won’t admit it.

Tyler Hansen’s hustle stumps Bulldogs

The running ability of Colorado`s starting quarterback Tyler Hansen somehow escaped Georgia coaches in their preparation for Saturday`s game.
Georgia coach Mark Richt acknowledged after the Buffs` 29-27 victory that Hansen`s ability to make plays with his feet caused his defense problems. Hansen helped the Buffs continue their strong performance on third downs. The Buffs converted seven of 15 third-down opportunities.

“He was a big problem,” Richt said. “… I can`t think of how many times that he was the difference in them moving the chains in a third-down situation. His ability to run, break tackles and keep plays alive. Later in the game, he did a lot of great things.”

OK, here goes: First, I am 62 and a UGA grad and been a fan since 1959. I know of what I speak.

UGA is losing and has been losing for more than this year. Why? UGA has not signed the very physical, strong, tough, nasty defensive linemen and offensive linemen like all the other schools have. See KY, Arkansa, Tennessee, see SC, see Florida and see LSU and see now Auburn, and see Alabama and the entire SEC. UGA is not a typical SEC squad on the lines of scrimmage. Period. UGA was out muscled again by slow, mid western farm boys. This is disgraceful.

The former “high ratings in recruiting” were from signing great kickers or flankers or QBs or punters or skill players ……………..NOT from signing linemen of any worth. We get the lower tier of linemen and the entire world knows htis but Mark Richt. Why?? because it worked in the old FSU in the 90s days with Wake Forest and SOutehrn MIss when FSU played them. Skill player Speed worked in the ACC. If you do not have bulk in the trenches in the SEC you are climing up hill.

Until UGA gets a coaching staff that is aware of this defecit, UGA will continue to get worse and worse. We will wind up around 3-9 or 4-8. That will place us as the worst UAG team since the mid 1950s.

Richt has been guilty of this for about 5 years. Why will all of this get better in 2011? It will not. We will lose at recruiting now because Richt is damaged goods. 2011 will be a carbon copy of 2010 so McGarity needs to pull the plug now and take our licks in recruiting.

He just got caught looking up and not concentrating on the hand off.
At saying that, we have a problem Houston. We MIGHT win 2 more this year.(that includes Idaho State) Times they looked good for a couple plays then times that they were totally clueless. Over 400 yards in Offense so reaaly can’t blame it on the play calling. It’s all about execution and there is a inability to execute on both sides of the ball consistantly. CU guys were not even that big!

Relax, Bulldog fans. Georgia is a much improved team with Green on the field. Once he gets properly hydrated and doesn’t cramp he can play the entire game. With him on the field, the defense has to cheat coverage and that opens up other opportunities.

You guys blindly supporting CMR keep asking if we think CMR has forgotten how to coach. The problem is that he hasn’t LEARNED anything new. The game has changed. I have been a staunch CMR supporter, but what he said last week let me know that is was time for him to go. When being asked about what the problems were, he replied that “he didn’t know”. That “we are still doing the exact same things were doing when we were winning a few years ago”. THAT’S THE PROBLEM! He has not adapted to ANY changes that have come in the game. Sure, you can still run the Power I, and work off play action, etc, IF you have an Ingram and Richardson and an OL that can actually block. We DO NOT have the talent to line up and just beat people anymore. We need to get someone who has real ideas and can bring us up to speed with the current state of college football. Rich is a great guy and brought us some great years, but he is either too stubborn or too stupid to see what is happening around him.

Well, my take on the game is that we have no OL line to speak of… in all the games. I thought this was supposed to be one of our strongest assets. They get pushed around like they’re nothing. Our “D” sucks too. I cannot believe how open the oppositions receivers are.. not this, but all games. I mean “WIDE OPEN”. In running situations, they look like they’re grasping to make tackles… not hitting. Always out of position. Aaron Murry, great job. You can just tell, he’s good. He has tried to carry this team on his own with is runs for first downs. Great to have AJ back… but he’s just one guy. What’s the deal with Cuff? How many personal fouls can you get in one game? We could have used the extra points you gave them for your roughing the kicker penalty. I agree with Knox… #23 Hamilton might as well be on the bench.

Two of the personal fouls weren’t really his fault. The roughing the passer was complete BS. The roughing the kicker was a correct call and had to made, but if he hadn’t lost his footing, he would have avoided the kicker. I can’t blame him for playing hard and slipping on the turf.
What really got to me was the touchdown he allowed right after roughing the kicker. He got sucked inside immediately and didn’t stay at home. They ran right through where he should have been standing to get the TD.

Kirby Smart – What you see on tv every week at Alabama is NOT his work ! Make no mistake about it, it is Saban’s work ! And the logic of “he was a good dawg” is equally as retarded ! Look at Bobo !! He was a mediocre QB at best !

Coach Peterson – Why on God’s green earth would he leave what he has at BS to come to Athens ? He has a great situation where he is !

We feel your pain up here….but think twice, maybe three or four times, before blaming Coach Richt and looking for a replacement. It may have worked in Gator country, but if you look at the way Ron Zook recruited for Coach Meyer, his job was easy. Coach Saban had name status coming in from the Dolphins and went 6-6 his first year at Bama, but recruited extremely well because of that name status for 2008. UGA can’t get anyone close to Saban’s status right now, so just remember and learn fro what the VOLS did to Coach Fulmer. We’ve got a long way to go here in Knoxville.

CMR is a nice man but he has become satisfied with the amount of money he has accumulated. He knows his family, his children’s family and his grandchildren are set financially for life. His priority is his religion and missionary work and that’s a great thing unless you happen to be a head football coach in the SEC. He needs to retire and bow out gracefully and enjoy his life.
UGA needs to hire a new head coach with a fire in his gut to be a national championship winner level head football coach. We need a coach that would coach because that is what he loves to do. Hopefully that is whichever of the two alumni DB’s has the most desire to come home and fix this disgraceful program. Muschamp would probably rather come home and be the head coach at UGA than stay at Texas. He has only been there 3 years so he surely hasn’t grown deep roots. Smart also has roots all over the state and would surely like to return home. One of the two should be announced within 5 minutes of the end of the GA-GA Tech game. The new head coach needs to get started salvaging the recruiting class of 2011 ASAP.
