Tereshinski: ‘We’re going to prepare this team for the fourth quarter’

I must say I really like what he is preaching !

Go DAWGS !

Hopefully they become beast in the 4th quarter again.

Love this decision. Pollack said nobody made him work harder. He’s an in your face kind of guy, which is what you need in this role.

Right on about the 4th quarter. Got outscored by almost 20 points, looked gassed against Florida early. Ran out of gas against Auburn late.

Lost a lot of games in the 4th quarter.

Not sure the S & C is the cause of 4th quarter struggles.

The new QB really struggled in most games in the 4th quarter, but maybe he’ll get better, or maybe Georgia can find somebody who’s better, so more coaches don’t have to get demoted.

Let’s also train them to start fast and be explosive in the first quarter so that we can play our back-ups in the fourth quarter.

My god nobody lives in the past like most UGA fans. I guess I’m in the minority when it comes to the fans who want too look towards the future. It would have been nice to bring in some new blood with an outside hire who is actually up to date with new innovative techniques. But what does Richt do? Trade one 57 year guy for another. But old dawg fans are fired up cause ole Joe T is from the Dooley days of the 80’s. Can we please quit living in the past.

I hope some of you got to read the sports illustrated article for preseason 2010 college football. One writer wrote that Georgia has the most delusional fan base in the country. He said they think their some kind of elite football power but in reality they have become irrelevant. I’m sorry to say that this is a true statement. Bama and UF fans laugh at us people. Please wake up.

Don’t blame Murray for his lack of production in the fourth quarter. Blame Bobo’s lack of the ability to call the right plays or to run what is or was working earlier.
Our problem is Bobo . With the receivers we have one of the girl cheerleaders could have scored 30 points per game if they were our offensive coordinator. If we had a real offensive coordinator UGA would have scored 50 plus points every game. With no running back help , partly because the offensive line was so weak UGA should have thrown the ball 50 plus times every game.

I see Tereshinski as the guy that has wanted to modernize the training program to meet current standards and Van Halanger was the old school guy that refused to change. He has the mentallity that “we have always done it this way and this is the way we will continue doing it!” Van Halanger just wouldn’t change and what he was doing is no longer getting the job done. Tereshinski is probably the right guy for the job.

You know what guys. Defense wins games. Pure and simple. Just ask Coach Dooley. How many games did Erk Russell’s defense make the difference in winning or loosing. You can lift weights, run till your tongue hits the ground, but if your defense is a Swiss Cheese 3-4 against a freshman RB from South Carolina, a so-so offense from Florida or a big ol QB from Auburn you’re NOT gonna win. A 3-4 is a pro defense so linebackers can cover short passes and QBs don’t run. Newton ran! And, he beat us. Good for you Coach T. At least we know how hard you will work them and get their asses in shape.

For all of you so called Dawg fans, here is a lesson for you. JT, Jr is the coach and has been since the 80’s. JT, III was the QB a few years back. On another note, I agree with some other blogs that say we need to adopt the same system the Falcons have put in place this year. They have implemented state of the art technology to assist in learning about and fighting game fatigue as well as preparing the players to thrive in the fourth quarter when their opponents are beginning to tire. I say we train these guys so they can play 6 quarters then when they only have to play 4 quarters it seems like a breeze and they are walking all over the competition. GATA CJT!!

Coach Bobo spent an entire weekend with me and my family in March and Coach Richt has called me about a dozen times. I really want to go to Georgia, but right now I’m leaning toward UK or Auburn. When I watch Georgia play, it seems like there is a lot of wasted talent on the field because guys are not prepared for gameday situations. It seems like they practice and prepare like they are playing a I-AA school every week. There is no way that is a receipe for winning in the SEC, and I am afraid that goin to UGA will hurt my chances of playing at the next level.

Mat drills are a workout of the past. It starts with player’s eating and gaining in the offseason and maintaining/increasing strength and weight during the season.

The old way of doing things was to ramp up in the offseason then lift to maintain during the season. That is absolutely flawed and S&C programs at Alabama, Florida State and others will lift heavy during the season.

Coming from the husband of a personal trainer and nutrition specialist, this could be one of the most important hires in the Mark Richt era.

I will tell you that Coach T and Coach Kasay will get the job done right. I can remember many years ago as a walk-on, we were doing sit-ups with a 25 lb. weight held behind our heads. New to the program, my feet would come off of the ground while doing the situps. Coach Kasay walked by and kicked me hard in the side and said “what the hell do you think you are doing.” That was when he was a much younger man. Now that he has been hardened by all of the players over the years, ” God have mercy on those young kids.” We may lose some games, but no one will say that it was a strength issue.

Coach T is saying the right things and there are plenty of experts in nutrition, strength and conditioning, motivation, etc. on the UGA campus. Making use of these resources will be a positive for the team.

Coach Richt has recognized the problem and has made a decision on what to do about it. I feel confident we will see much improvement next year. I hope that better training in the weight room will result in fewer injuries. We seem to have too many shoulder injuries, pulled muscles, sprained ankles, etc. for a well-conditioned team.

Well I went to the Calhoun game tonight and Crowell was huge disappointment. I’m not just talking about his play but also his crappy attitude. Someone on this blog earlier talked about how humble he was. Yeah Right!! Two personal fouls in the first quarter alone and bi*ching and flailing his arms at his coaches all night as he got shut down. They took him out several times to settle him down as the Calhoun defense was slamming his face into the turf.

Aaron Murray, Kris Durham, shawn chapas, tavvares King, Christian Robinson and several other Georgia players were only 25 ft away fro m where I was sitting and I kept looking over wondering what they were thinking about this punk. The Georgia players were extremely nice guys as they signed some little kids Georgia hats sitting right in front of me when they walked by. Class acts indeed. Crowell wouldn’t fit in with this group for sure.

And BTW it’s a good thing he decided to wait until signing day instead of after the state championship game since he won’t be playing in it. Calhoun whipped their a$$ tonight so he can now go home and pout until signing day.

I swear to god I hope Georgia signs another running back and this chump goes to Bama. I’m not kidding folks I was shocked at his poor sportmanship. He was stuffed on a 4th down and 1 play and a Calhoun player reached down to help him up he shoved him away. This guy is a freakin turd.

Kudos to some of the other Columbus players who hugged the Calhoun guys and congradulated them after the game while mr. everything stormed off the field.

Oh amd one more thing Calhoun had zero D-1 players on defense. Congrats to those guys and their coaching staff for working their tails off. Calhoun has got to be one of the best coached teams in the entire state.

As a UGA fan, donor and season-ticket holder, I am not real fond of this move. I am also not fond of John Kasay who was S&C in the 1990’s when UGA was regularly steamrolled by top programs.

If McGarity thinks the answer is to look inside for all the improvement, he is sadly mistaken. Maybe Richt won’t be the only one on the hot seat. Then again, UGA will never win another national title in my lifetime because the “old school” cannot get the hell out of the way of progress.

My fear is Richt cleaned peds out of the program and our competition didn’t. There have been signs this might be the case. Three years ago we had freshmen gaining 30 lbs of muscle in less than a year, this ain’t natural. Now we have guys struggling to put on lbs, this is normal. There may be a heavy price to pay for doing things the right way and all the nutrition in the world may not overcome it. I really hope I’m way off base.

The guys who complain that Mr. Joe Tereshinski is too old at 57, age has nothing to do with it. No matter what age, its your personal drive , commitment and energy that motivates young men in this type of arena. Hold those young guys to a standard and never waiver from it. Trust me, they will crave the discipline and a sense of team will form that will overcome most obstacles. Just a note from a retired US Army First Sergeant who can still max the PT test.

Is the 4th quarter the weakest quarter? Is conditioning the problem?

Offensive Scoring National Ranking by Quarter:
Rushing
1st 46
2nd 68
3rd 14
4th 65

Passing
1st 24
2nd 10
3rd 36
4th 59

Defensive Scoring National Ranking:
Rushing
1st 34
2nd 108
3rd 84
4th 70

Passing
1st 15
2nd 30
3rd 15
4th 80

4th quarter is the problem for the passing offense & passing defense.

2nd Quarter was the problem for the rush offense & rush defense.

The rush offense & defense got better as the game went on.

The pass offense & pass defense got worse as the game went on.

4th Quarter Scoring problems could be more of a reflection of having to play from behind so much.

When you’re playing from behind, you have to abandon the run and pass more on offense, and you have to take more risks on defense.

I think scoring margin is probably the reason for Georgia’s struggles, a lot more than conditioning.

If you’re ahead in the 4th, Bobo can keep running the ball, nd the defense doesn’t have to take unnecessary risks.

Georgia’s hasn’t been able to get leads, and keep them.

Guys, you’re missing the big point here.

AD McGarity is not going to commit to bringing in a new S&C coach. Why? Because you would have to provide a multi-year contract to a new guy. The reason is simple, CMR is gone if he doesn’t make it to the SEC CG, count on it. If the AD brings in a new HC, that HC will bring in his own S&C which only means you will have to eat yet another contract.

AD McG is a very smart man. He is letting CMR hang himself. A good part of the fanbase hate the promotions of Bozo and Silly Willy, another failed loyal promotion will just about do it for CMR. AD McG is in a win, win situation now.

Are we to believe that the guy who’s going to turn around the S&C program was right there as an assistant the whole time. A guy who’s been an assistant and a video coordinator since 1982.

The coaching changes may not be done yet, UGA might look for a new WR’s coach. Maybe one the waterboys can be promoted.

CMR. – glad to see you solve this problem ASAP, now let’s get to work.

Next, start recruiting more OL and DL. There is an article out that shows that over the last 4 years, Bama has 29 DL to your 14, and their average weight was 10 lbs. more than yours when they got to school. They are creating competion at the OL and DL positions, you are just filling slots. No wonder our guys are gassed. Also, we would not be so exposed to injuries if you had more depth.

We still believe in you, make us proud and let’s get back on the right track. No time like the present.

So old dawg, it matters if he was fired or demoted against his will? really? THAT backs up your point that Richt doesnt want to hurt anybodies feelings? That he “only demoted” his long time friend, 10 yr staff member, a guy he brought from tallahassee with him. Got it. My bad. I guess i was under the assumption that the gaol was to make changes and improve the program. Didn’t realize that it doesn’t count if there’s no moving truck or crying babies.

yogi, you realize they only even had 2 or 3 anyway depending on the schedule. (and its not in the spring) And did end up having one. They did that to gain an extra 2 calender days to run through more of the 3-4. I don’t thing those 2 afternoons would have changed thier conditioning any, especially a few weeks into the season, but there might be something to be said for the mental aspect of those. On that note, Richt has said they did not go after it as much in this past fall camp, trying to stay healthy. I would think that gets re-thunked.

This was an obvious issue that needed addressing. Even we so-called arm-chaired warriors — while sitting on our couches, swilling cheap beer, and barking “Go Dawgs” — could see this on our televisions from 2000 miles away.

well, the boys did tackle better this year, when they were position that is. I’m so sick of seeing teams run on our Dawg though that I hope that is what the entire coaching philosophy is addressed to. You cannot win ball games ifyou can’t stop the run or I’ve never seen a successful team that can’t anyway. We finally found some boys who could catch the ball (I’m convinced we would have won a couple of BCS in gthe early 2000’s if those receivers hadn’t dropped more than 50% of passes) and our backs are good enough, not spectacular but good and I think will get better. Murray will end up as one of the best QBs ever at GA. I didn’t see Joe Sr play but I did see the other two and Joe Jr is one tough SOB. I would say the same about III but I’ve already gone against the grain in complimenting one QB. Can’t stomach complimenting another one

this is a horrible decision. Coach T is was a horrible strength coach when he was the strength coach. he’s a good film guy, but doesn’t know squat about conditioning. at least Van Halanger is certified and educated to do such a thing. Coach Kasay, however, knew his stuff when he was an assistant so hopefully Coach T will consult with him frequently.

Look. All thats great and all. It’s weight lifting, eating right and hopefully running a thousand miles. But it is just what it is. It is not going to win football games in and of itself. The plain fact is, we are not a good football team because of coaching. CMR is looking for the magical touch in someone other than himself. And until he gets motivated enough to get out of his comfort zone to change this team, its not going to happen. He has got to start talking about winning and stop saying “well you know how tough the other teams in the SEC is. We already know that coach! Oh. And the obvious. Auburn is about to play for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! with a second year coach. Good grief!

Listen close here because I’m going to give you a secret that’s not really a secret. If you dominate the Line you will win in the 4th quarter. If you need proof….look at the SEC championship game and all the games we lost. We were beat on the line and Auburn simply dominated on the O Line. CMR is correct to address the strength and conditioning because we need to dominate the line like we did 2002-2004.

If you are really stating what went on , which I have my doubts , then that is the problem at UGA in a nut shell. Players don’t dictate policy to coaches ,they say yes sir , what ever you say,sir. That’s respect and acknowledgement that an adult more than twice their age might know a lot more than they do.. There is no way that CMR wouldn’t back up Coach T in that situation. If it was me I would march each one of the problem players in my office and tell them they had a choice ,to show respect for adult authority or get the hell off the campus and don’t let the door hit them in the butt when they leave.

The thing I don’t doubt is that the players don’t like the idea of being pushed. I happen to know a former player, who was on the team very recently and He has related many time to me that the real source of the decline in performance is that leadership is severely lacking on this team. Nobody wants to push each other. If you don’t go as hard , you won’t make me look so bad. So I say , go ahead an quit. We can simple recruit some that haven’t come up in the climate of just getting by. As far as a lack of respect for JoeT, or thinking he is a joke, absolutely not even close to being true.

Nothing is going to change for the better at UGA until Mark Richt is gone. He’s a 2nd-rate coach (at best) whose best years are way behind him. We’re now well into a long slide to complete irrelevance. We’re already irrelevant in the SEC, unless you enjoy going to places like Shreveport.

We all know that Aaron Murray choked in the Florida game. He wanted to be the HS hero in Jax and he fumbled and threw pics and it COST UGA that game. Guilt needs to go all around.

Ealey FUMBLED vs ARK and SC on the 3 or 4 and we lost a TD. He also FUMBLED away a TD in the Mississippi State end zone and he looked dumber than dumb. We win w.o. these three or four fumbles.

Caleb’s FUMBLE COST UGA the Colorado game.

In the SC game ……………..Murray over threw his receivers time and time again.

We are not a good team. We are filled with kids that cannot perform at the high level needed in the SEC and this has been coming on for several years, gang.

When doing any interview, Richt has those sleepy, droopy eyes going on and he almost slurs his words. He is a classic exmaple of burn out but the money is too good to quit ……………. so it will continue until the bitter end. Sad. He is a very nice man, he just does not want ao admit that he is tired.

As an old S&C coach I can tell you that you can over condition. That was the complaint with Kasay’s teams under the Dooley and Goff era. You can over work on cardio to the detriment of size and strength. Teams began to realize this when Nebraska was pounding teams into sand in the 80’s and 90’s. Those guys were definitely winning the 4th quarter. There will never a be a substitute for hard work, but you have to be smart and train the right systems. The key is to maintain a high level of fitness year-round and peak in August and maintain through the season. Footspeed (i.e. quickness) and explosion are more important than cardio. There are other ways to strengthen a person’s will outside of cardio. I am all for crushing workouts but you must be smart about it.

This is just another indication of the train wreck, AKA, Georgia. First it’s the defense, now the strength coach who was fired ten years ago is hired. I’m not passing judgment on JoeT. It’s the judgment of CMR that I question. I read these comments and week after week there are the same criticism of Bobo. I wonder why that doesn’t change? It will be next in CMR’s valiant effort to retain his job.

Why people want to retain him is beyond me. He got us in this mess with studied disinterest in what was going on around him.

This is a meaningless compromise by Richt to buy him some more time with McGarity who’s looking to make a change if the program continues to tank. The conditioning program isn’t the main problem. The main problem IMO is a lack of talent. You can get a 3 star recruit in shape and have him perform at a high level, but a 3 star recruit is still a 3 star recruit! You can get Joe Cox in shape all you want, but he’s still not going to be better than Aaron Murray because Murray is more talented than Joe. That’s all there is to it.

Our recruitment on defense and on the Offensive line have taken a major nose dive the last 4 years. The last great O-Line that UGA had was 2005 when Russ Tanner, Max Jean-Gilles and Co were seniors. And the last time we had real talent on defense was probably around 2005 or 2006 when Greg Blue, Tra Battle, Tony Taylor, Quentin Moses, Charles Johnson etc were finishing out. Since then we have had mediocre talent on the O-Line, and maybe a stud or two on defense like Justin Houston or Rennie Curran: but certainly not enough to shut down opponents like we had earlier in Richt’s tenure. You can’t have a bunch of bodies on one side of the ball and expect it to work. Case in point, this season. The offense put up over 30 points over 8 times this season! Over 40 6 times! Yet we finished 6-6. WHY? Because our defense isn’t talented enough to stop the opposition. Talent wins, period! And either you recruit it, or you get your brains beat out by it!
