Searels more than any other staff memember is the reason this team stinks… I was really hoping that he would be dismissed and Bobo, who is a great QB coach, would be demoted at the very least… Garner needs to go too. I would have thought that Richt would have had some staff turnover to get some fresh blood in here… Instead he is irgnoring, yet again, what this program needs… He will be fired next year.

I don’t think CMR is capable of reinventing himself to be the kind of leader necessary to get this ship righted. Very few can pull that type of transformation off. He is not wired that way.

Nevertheless, we all will see as the offseason starts and the clock starts ticking toward September.
First on the agenda- get those in state recruits !
Ssecond- NO arrests

These two things will tell us a lot about this “transformation” and how successful it will be.

It really doesn’t matter how much talent we get in this coming year. The players are not being coached up. Few are reaching their potential. The amont of acolades we get for our good recruiting is not translating to wins on the field. The problem is not recruiting. It is coaching. It’s like Steve Spurrier once said…”All that talent goes to UGA and I don’t know what happens to it.”

Are you kidding me, Coach Bobo and Coach Searels have done a good job? What a laugher.

We are so out of the top teams in the SEC and you give us this?

Without doing too much harm, all these possible recruits need to go somewhere else and then maybe the leadership at UGA will finally get it.

Folks we are the laughing stock of the league. The Vols had just as bad or worse offseason than us, changed coaches, barely hired a coach and finished with the same record as us. That should tell you something.

CMR , you have reached almost rock bottom as a coach, not as a good man or father, but this is big time football.

Love Coach Richt but I’m not sure I can forgive the losses to Colorado & Central Florida. If we can (i) recruit really well in the next few weeks, (ii) run the ball well, and (iii) learn how to tackle / stop the run going forward then I think I’ll be happy. How many people think Bobo may cost Richt his job next year?

As everyone else, I’m very disgusted with this past season and in particularly the bowl loss. I will however say that just a few ago everyone was whining and saying the same things about Richt’s play calling (predictable, sprint draw up the middle all the time….etc) that they’re now saying about Bobo’s play calling. Now everyone wants Richt to call plays again?? I don’t understand that.

read between the lines people….this is news conference speak for the following..
“i have done a crappy job of managing this program and by sliding people around on the organizational charts, i can become a better manager.”

anyone who knows corporate america knows that McGarity’s “unlimited assistance” is also a politically correct way of saying, son….we’re gonna give you some rope…you can pull yourself out of the ditch, or you can use it to hang yourself.

I have to admire CMR! I think it is time for him to go, but I admire him for saying to everyone ” This is my ship and I am the captain, so I am going to sink or float with what I have!” Brave, but as we have seen in the past, Stupid! It is sad that he is nothing but a lame duck coach. Even if he wins 10 games next year, any year after that, when he only wins 7, he is gone. I for one would rather cut ties and go to another program and let both parties start over. But that is just me.

In 08 and 09, we knew the UGA program was slipping. The talent was down going into 09 and of course into 2010. The ugly two year record proves that. At the same time, the rest of the SEC has gotten better. UGA in no way resembles a quality SEC team and that simply cannot stand.

One more year …………. and UGA can dig out of this mess. UGA is stuck with CMR and his mega $$ contract and they figure “give him one more shot, cause we have to pay him anyway”. This alone is why Richt is still at UGA. Period.

Here are the hard facts about UGA football at this precise moment:

O line is sub standard. D line is weak and very inferior to the hard chargers now in the SEC. Our linebakers are not very good. Samuels and Jarvis Jones may help. Running backs are lousy for many reasons ON AND OFF of the field. Get rid of them now. Get three really good uns with this class.
D backs and safeties are simply not football smart. Period.

UGA lacks toughness …………. both pysical and mental. NO edge. No swagger beyond the late out of bounds hits by our safeties.

QB is overrrated too. Lose those Batman gloves to redeem yourself. QB’s bowl performance was a carbon copy of the G Day game. He is too emotional to win big. See the Florida game and others like UCF. The die is cast.

Intangibles:

Dr. Adams looks at football unlike his counterparts in the SEC, except for Vandy and Florida. Both Vandy and FL are fine, fine academic schools, as UGA is but Florida still insists on a quality athletic program, unlike Vandy. UGA? I am unsure as to how Adams views SEC football lately. He might be waiting to guage the 2011 recruiting class to get a true handle on Richt’s appeal.

TIme will tell. He has been mum. Odd.

UGA man, class of 71 & 73

He needs to go back and watch the game film of this years games. Searles is not doing a great job. We have gotten poorer on the OL since he’s been in charge. Despite scoring 30+ points on some bad teams Bobo’s play calling is still suspect and his game planning and execution is just this side of horrible.

With all his free time and studying, I wish he would study up on the importance of special teams. UGA has the worst special teams in the SEC. I think Champ Bailey probably blocked the last place kick or punt. Watching Ark block that kick last night and Florida block one to score on against PSU really made me realize how bad our special teams are. Richt seems to think that defense and special teams are just something you have to survive in order to get to play your boring, unimagitive, tired offense.

Why do we have such a mobile qb and no plays, other than the qb draw that Bobo so loves, to exploit his ability. When is the last time we ran a QB option down in the redzone.

What a load of pure unadulterated crappola from a press conference. Basically, we are going to try to do somethings differently but no specifics. Gethimoutahere!

gadawgs: My sentiments exactly! What planet is this guy on? Holy cow! How can he not look back at the video of the games we’ve played and see what we all see? From the first game of the year with Louisiana Laughter we were unable to establish a running game. As a matter of fact, their dline spent most of the game blowing our guys back. My 5 year old wouldn’t have had a hole to run through. Searels is horrible! As for BooBoo? His play calling has no luster or creativity! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Most coaches have a complete sheet front and back loaded with plays. BooBoo could house all his creativity on the front of an index card! Why doesn’t Richt get it? Talent we have had, coaching we have not. I still am a fan of VanGorder! He was awesome in my opinion! Richt has to understand, business is business. If his coaching buds are that good of friends, they should be able to step down so their “bud” doesn’t get canned. Richt’s above words just ruined my day! If I were a recruit, I wouldn’t want to come play for this mess we have assembled. God I love Georgia Football but am so humiliated by what we show on the field. The Colorado loss was bad but the UCF loss made us the laughing stock of the SEC. This is just aweful!

“We want to help you so you can make money, son”. These are the words often spoken to a young sales person who is struggling. I ran a international sales organization for many, many years. I was a MADMAN out of NYC and ATL. Your best folks send in the $$$ business and need no sales management help beyond producing timely and complete shipments and sending their commmission checks on time. They do not need assistance and intense micro managing like CMR is getting right now. This is SPIN.

McGarity is the puppetier. He knows that he must provide everything that Richt needs to win big. What really can he do? HE NEEDS to fire some coaches, rather than moving the chairs around the deck of the Titanic. Joe T as S&C Coach was absolutely McGarity’s choice, period.

Other needed changes:

Hire a Recruiting Co Ordinator. His job soley will be to rebuild fences with high school coaches. Gardner is a failure as a recruiter lately. Fire him.
Hire a NFL caliber D line coach. TG knows who is available. Maybe David Pollack.
Hire a quality O coach …………… maybe Stinchcomb is avaliable.
Hire a quality O co ordinator from the NFL like Florida is doing. Geeeeeeeeez. Bobo will end up as a middle school coach in two more years.

Contracts would have to be broken, so maybe the UGA money is too tight. Dang it.

Go Dogs.

Georgia has become a recruiting school moreso than a football playing school. Every year we hear how great the recruiting class is gonna be and how great it is on signing day and now here today he’s telling us again, recruiting is the paramount thing about Georgia Football. Wake up people, this guy is wasting time and money recruiting players that can’t play and his coaches can’t coach. So let’s just quit kdding ourselves and admit that Georgia is now a middle tier program in the SEC and it’s all under the leadership of Mark Richt. We’re here January after January for the last five years hearing this crap and it’s time for a change. I thought McGarity was the man to change it. Obviously he can’t see the forest for the trees and is either unwilling or incapable of seeing that Mark Richt cannot lead this program forward. He needs to be fired as well as of today. Wow.

Richt and his staff of bumbling idiots all need to be put on a slow boat to a Christian mission in Cambodia. I’d take a 3-headed coaching monster of Ray Goff, Jim Donnan, and that Ramsey clown right about now. Ok, maybe that’s a bit overboard, but either way, UGA football is headed nowhere but down the toilet if Richt and his merry band of morons stays in Athens. Here’s my proposition for all 2011 recruits – drop UGA! If no one signs with UGA this year, it will be a clear statement that no one wants to play for Richt. At that point, the university will have no choice but to make a change.

UGA ’s football ship is listing badly. We are all stop in the water. Engine room, engine room ………….. how badly are we hit?

I have seen this before with Dooley in the very late 60s and early 70s and the late 70s and with Goff, Donnan and now CMR. These things happen over time, as it is a natural evolution in coaching college football and UGA within 3 or 4 more years, will still be one of the top four ALL TIME BOWL GAME WINNERS, like ESPN showed on the screen Sunday night. Alabama, the REAL USC and PN State and UGA.

Let’s be honest here. It would not really matter what CMR had to say. The bottom line is the product that will be on the field during the 2011 season. We are all tired of the talk! When your only claim during the season is beating a 6-7 tech team…. The ship is hanging on barley.
I want CMR to turn things around. However, my confidence level is at an all time low with him and just don’t see it happening.
I feel that we can have the #1 recruiting class(not saying we are, just an example) and I just don’t see a trip to the SEC CG in 2011. That’s were CMR needs to be to hold onto that job. I have nothing against CMR, he is a great person with great intentions. I just think that he has allowed all the SEC football programs to pass UGA as if we are going backwards!
We will know by the 1st 2 games.

Wow, I have not been one to crticize Coach Richt, but with this press release I am a really upset at his mindset and lack of tone. Bobo and Searles did an awful job this year. Is a great job scoring six point against Central Florida, losing to Colorado? Georgia didn’t win one meaningful game this year that they could be proud of, and he’s happy with the offense? I think he needs to use this “freed” up time, and make sure his players obey the law and stay out of freaking jail. Nothing sends a program into a tailspin more than legal issues, and that is exactly where Georgia football is headed. Why would a recruit want to come to Georgia right now? I would kill to play for Georgia, but I’m not so sure I wouldn’t take that pass to Alabama, Auburn, LSU, or even dang Florida right now. I want our coach to smell blood and show some emotion, cause that’s what the game is about, not lollipops and ice cream. I for one am watching my wallet this off season towards anything that is Georgia football, because I don’t want to throw my money in the toilet for a coach or program that settles for mediocrity and is happy with failure.

I sure hope we can pull Crowell, Rome, and Mitchell from Valdosta, because we are going to be hurting at receiver, and need a running back to take the place of King, and sparingly use Ealey. Just a total mess, and hope recruits come in with a heart, and not just a nose for the money.

I will have to say this is great news for the GT Fans. I think the messages as we hear them today from Athens are what we were looking for, more of the same. We may not have the football factory program and traditions that the UGA fans claim but at least so far this month CPJ hasn’t made a complete FOOL out of himself with statements such as come from CMR. As long as things remain the same or worse in Athens it gives GT football program more time to catch up. ADVANTAGE GT!!!

I think the point made in this release is that CMR is putting it all in for next season. He’s basically saying I’m committing my full attention and efforts into coaching next season. If he fails again, he’s gone. If he succeeds, he stays. But I think this was a combined effort by Richt and McGarity that basically gives him one more year to turn it around. He basically is throwing all excuses out the window for next year.

You can do a lot worse than a coach that stands behind his staff. Richt never even bashed Martinez – he let performance dictate that guy’s removal. Richt is a class act and I’m proud he’s UGA’s coach. Why don’t you redneck clowns call Petrino and get him to slime you into a BCS bowl next season? Get some perspective country bumpkins. Richt might have had one losing season, but he’s not a loser like RichRod and these other slimeballs. I’m behind Richt. When Crowell inks the dotted line, all you haters will get excited again and re-up your season tickets. The only things frustrating about being a UGA fan is how predictable the fan base is. It’s embarassing.

GT Fan,

I agreed wholeheatedly with you until you started calling us rednecks. Typical Tech fan, calling people names instead of saying something that matters. I guess that’s all of the ammunition you have when you get it handed to you every year by your biggest rival. I know how it feels, see Jacksonville every year. I guess you’ll have to keep up the name calling, because Tech is a long ways away from being the program Georgia is. One Orange Bowl appearance doesn’t mean you have arrived.

I agree that Paul Johnson is an intimidating coach, and will release hell on a player that does wrong and doesn’t do right. I was at Georgia Southern when he was, and I love his mentality, and it speaks volumes for his success. Just stinks he can’t get any recruits to want to settle with a bunch of geeks and unatheltic dorks at Tech. See, I can play that game too. Try and win a few before you start talking the trash Techie. Oh, but Tech can’t even beat Georgia in basketball either. But there’s always next year.

If not having a running game means the OC and running game coordinator are doing a great job, so be it. Maybe the Independence Bowl will revive its alliance with the SEC so maybe we can go there. I don’t think Saban or anyone else is losing any sleep.

Yes, Bobo and Searels ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. Richt is right. Bobo is the top OC coordinator in the SEC and likely in the country. Searels is considered a genius offensive line coach. The problem with this team is a “cultural” problem like kicker Walsh said. Thought the press conference was Richt at his best, confident and in control.

When someone has to tell the Coach you need to spend more time on football then the battle is lost. The buyout is just to great to dump the guy so the AD is trying to get folks to do handle what Richt can’t . The problem is Richt but the worst problem is how you ever agreed to such a buyout of a damn coach!!

All you thUGA fans need to be honest with yourself. thUGA has beaten Tech, but all games under CPJ (1-2 against thUGA) have been 1 score games and very close. I have attended all 3 and you didn’t kick anybody’s ass. You won close ball games by making a good play late in the game (just like Tech did 3 years ago to get that win). It’s a win for thUGA, not a beatdown. Get your facts straight.

The defintion of an ass kicking or beatdown is Florida vs thUGA the last 20 years. They have scored like 200 more points than thUGA over that period. The vega$ odds makers have had Florida a double digit favorite 18 out of 20 years. That is the definition of being OWNED!

Enter your comments here Let’s see. Coach Richt makes 2+ million a year but needs something to re-motivate him.

Coach Bobo and Searles have done an awesome job and I you have great confidence in them =’s 4th and inches, meaningless bowl game, not ranked in the top 40 in the country and you kick a field goal.

Coach Richt you truly do not get it (in my view you never have and never will, you should have never been hired but Dooley did not call me), you need to go and you need to go today.

Mr. Mcgarity by allowing Coach Richt to stay in my view means you are ok with being mediocre so here is what I offer you.

I can coach as bad as Richt has for the last 3 years and will do it for 10 % of his yearly salary thus freeing up money to be spent on posting bail for the THUGA players, and to make more plaques when you have premature-typealations for victories in games you were never in once the kickoff took place. FIRE RICHT NOW and hire me, at least i can act like I care on the sidelines while being out coached and out played on the field. WWJD What Would Jim Donnan do lol.

As a SEC fan I like all Teams from our conference do well, put 10 teams in bowl games, capture 2 spots in the BCS bowls and win BCS titles as we have done for the past 4 or so years. But folks this current staff at UGA has to rank right up there as one of the most inept core group of coaches ever assembled.
It is said a great coach hire good assistants, instructs them on how he wants to run his program and lets the assistants coach the players, as he coaches the coaches. Surrounding yourself with good coaches is what has to be done. The problem at UGA is the Head Coach himself has no drive, motivation, is not focused, and football is no longer his priority. Or it seems those are in place( as I personally do not know-just observations) and he has not surrounded himself with WINNERS.

UGA had a schedule that would have gotten them at least 8 wins up until Boise St. was added, now after an early early season loss it will snowball into more losses as confidence in young players will carry you to additonal wins, early losses will start finger pointing and blame among youngsters.

Hoping it gets turned around but the situation is tenable at best.

Why does anyone think Muschamp is going to be this great Head Coach? How many GREAT assistant coaches have taken Head Coaching jobs and fell flat on their faces? A Ton. The talent alone in Florida is good for 7 wins each year, 8 wins with an average schedule and 9 plus wins with a soft schedule and games against your best opponents at home.

There are no guarantees in College Football except at some point your best players run out of eligibility, go pro, flunk out, or get into trouble.

Muschamp has not proven anything yet as a Head Coach.

If UGA had been smart, they would have kept Grantham, fired Richt and brought in a coach who slings the ball around, spreads the field and will kick players off the team immediately if arrested and charged with a felony.

The only thing that CMR has ‘EARNED THE RIGHT’ to do is put a quality team (product) on the field, make tough decisions (like firing friends that are DC and OC’s that aren’t producing), and answer to his stockholders (the fanbase and alumnae that donate millions of dollars). For the $3+ million he gets per year, that’s the least he can do. In corporate America, he would have been fired long ago. Mediocrity is mediocrity, no matter what level you’re at. CMR has lost his mind and NO RECRUIT is going to waste 3 or 4 years of his life playing for a man or team without any leadership, direction, or chance of competing for any kind of championship. UGA football has quickly spiraled to Ole Miss and Kentucky levels. Another 6 win season is just around the corner. What will his excuse be next year- we’re getting closer?.

Richt, you should have never left FSU. You haven’t done anything at UGA and FSU went through a few bad years. Had you stayed, there would have been more Nat’l Championships, more Heisman trophy winners, and you could probably be the coach at the superior university in Tallahassee, Florida. Since you’re gone, we as FSU fans want you to stay there because you provide no threat to the recruits considering FSU. In fact, you help out tremendously in making FSU recruiting classes better. Too bad Greg Reid decided to leave Georgia and become a monster in Tally.

UGA is known more for their mascot than their athletics.

I love reading some of these comments. Some are good, but most are way off base and by people who have never been paid to coach football at the high school, college, and professional level (certaintly have the right to give opinion). I can understand the disappointment and frustration. Georgia fans, like most in the SEC are great,loyal, and passionate fans. To be honest there are things that Richt needs to address. He needs to look at the off, def, special teams, s and c, and recruiting. Also, he needs to look at off the field issues. However, every coach at the HS, College, and Pro level does that. Honestly, I think with that he has done a good job. I think he has tried to be fair and balanced. I will leave that topic for another time. Lets face it, if you stay at one place long enough you have peaks and valleys. Richt was and IS a great coach. He is very capable of winning the SEC again and a shot at the national championship. To end this, Richt is not ga problem, coaching is not ga problem. Again, not saying it cant be improved. If I had to point out a weakness that has hurt GA and has been address, is it needed to improve the S AND C program. If the program is implemented correctly, you should see a different team for the better, on the field next season. If you do not coach as a profession, it sometimes can be hard to understand. NOT saying you cant have an opinion and sometimes and maybe a lot, be right. IF anybody questions RICHT as a qualified coach to lead a top SEC and National program, is clueless. Also, I am not saying someone could not be hired and do a better job.

What Mark Richt should have said:

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming today. We have a great tradition at the University of Georgia, we have done some great things during my time here in Athens. We have not one the National Championships as we had hoped to win. We have brought home a few SEC banners and we are proud of those.

I have let the program down in recent years. The arrest of players, and personal issues of our players has forced me to spend to much time dealing with off the field issues than we wanted which has taken time away from game planning and building the program. I never have stated that I was a miracle worker, but even by my own standards I have done a poor job of evaluating prospects based upon character. After suffering through 3 seasons of poor play, poor coaching, off the field issues, replacing coaches and friends, I have decided to leave the position as Head Football Coach at the University of Georgia. I feel it is time to allow someone else to take over and bring some new life, blood and someone who may can turn this roller coaster program around.

Thanks for all the memories and Go Dawgs!

We need someone to take these players and make a cohesive group that can put together a sustained running drive.

And by the way, I am a adog with Papers in 1988 and played 7 years of middle, and high school ball. I am in no way an “armchair” coach—I can however, smell a team that is lackadaisical in nature, and lacks the cohesiveness to run the ball consistently.

So, does this mean we will be confused and inept the next time we run up against a Conference USA defense?? Does this mean we will continue to run up the middle on 2nd and 10 after almost every incomplete 1st down pass? Does this mean that we will continue to shut down our own offense before the defense actually stops it (Ga Tech game 220 yds, 3 TDs passing in 1st half, only 5 passes thrown in entire 2nd half)? Does this mean that the only way we will shock everyone with a TD bomb to Israel Troupe vs. Auburn is for our OC NOT to know that AJ Green had been knocked out of the game on the prior play!?! (Yes, Bobo admitted in 2009 that he was unaware the pass was to go to Troupe because AJ had just gotten hurt).

Does this mean more failed draw plays and screen passes on 1st and 20 against a Conference USA team? Does this mean having good fullbacks who almost never carry the ball, while Carlton Thomas gets to ram his 175 pound body in there for a 1 yard gain….? Does this mean a talent like Orson Charles averaging only 2 touches per game? Does this mean having Aaron Murray drop back against Arkansas late in the game, on 3rd and 4, with NOBODY to throw to for a high percentage conversion, because everyone is way downfield (leading to a sack, punt and loss)? I guess so…..

Bobo seems to be a very good QB coach and recruiter, but can anyone say he’s one of the nation’s Top 10 Offensive Coordinators…???!?!? Really??? (Not a Bobo issue, but I’m not even going to discuss our offensive line that has underperformed for the past 3 years.) ….Regardless, GO DAWGS..!!!

One of the things that has really bothered me over the last few years in regards to CMR is how reactive he is vs. proactive.
The great coaches think and prepare and implement things before they become a problem. That’s ON & OFF the field.

CMR is always saying something to the effect “we are going to stress that this week… ” or “we are going to ramp up tackling in practice because of our poor performance…” or “it’s our strength & conditioning..” or now “The point I’m making is, I’m going to have the ability to have the time it takes to truly study the game of football, the trends and what’s going on, so a higher percentage of my time is going to be able to be used for that, which is exciting to me.”

By the time CMR says these things, they are already a problem and should have already been addressed and corrected.

Teams don’t turn things around with “Reactive” coaches. Once they begin to go downhill… they continue.
And there have been way to examples of how CMR is reactive vs. proactive.

The great coaches foresee obstacles before they are a problem. Not after.

The first step to recovery is admitting where you are. I didn’t hear any of that. Ex. the complement to booboo and company?????? Why study now? Thats like working for a company for 10 years and finding out your about to be layed-off and you tell your manager”im going to start studying about whats going on and being more efficient and up to date. I think most people would know what the result of that conversation would be. any way studying is not the answer. CMR you know what to do. Sounds like you got one more year. Do what any leader would do on any ship . CALL the Play. Right or wrong Call the Play. This is your ship to correct.

Disapointing, but it is what it is.

For what it’s worth, here’s what I think he should have done:

1. I think Bobo has value as a QB coach, and if he’s worried about hurting his feelings, give him a fluff title. Asst. Head Coach/QB Coach

2. Hire Ralph Friedgen to be OC. We all know first hand he’s a great OC and our offense would definitely score points, plus he has a house at Lake Oconee so it would be easy for him to jump right in.

3. Fire R.Garner, his time has past, and I just don’t think the man does his homework on players. We have too many GOOD players that WANT to be Dawgs that don’t even get a look and wind up coming back to haunt us somewhere down the road.

4. CMR -make the right “buddy” hire and call Randy Shannon and make him your Recruiting coordinator. He’s not much of an x’s and o’s guy, but that guy can flat out recruit and he has a STRONG pipline to all that s.fl talent, and while having to recruit in a big city area like Miami he knows how to relate to and reach the Atlanta area talent.

As someone else noted the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting new results.

I’m curious what people would think if Richt made the above moves.

Why do I feel like I’m being offered a great deal on some marsh land in Florida? I’m not buying it – Richt hasn’t been the same since he gave up the play calling duties & his subborness is gonna cost him again.

Play calling like driving the 90 plus yards against a Conference USA team & running the ball for a short gain on 3rd down & then rather than following through on a commitment to make an effort to score, settling for a field goal & set the stage for an offensive juggernaut (very offensive to watch I might say).

Play calling like 2nd down & 23 & running off tackle. Followed by 3rd down & 20 & attempting a screen pass which for some reason neither Richt nor Bobo have figured out that Murray & this offensive line are pathetic at selling & implementing successfully (this was the case the ENTIRE year).

January has become repleat with empty promises – seems I remember assurances that the off-field problems were going to end last January.

That house & great deal are sinking in the marsh much like the hopes for things turning around at UGA under this regime.

How about win more games than you have players arrested, maybe no arrest. Get players that have heart to play for UGA instead of how many stars they have by there name.. Discipline would also be great for this team and teach the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, cover, 100% effort on every down instead of constant let down. Grantham, give him time to get the wright players for the scheme. Bo Bo has had his chance needs to go or (Qb coach). Coach Richt, beat Fl, win 10 games or so, go to a BCS bowl next season to save your job. The O-Line was the biggest let down for me this season. UGA football is in a state shame. 4th and inches in a Bowl game, Field Goal, Really!!! GREAT TEAMS SCORE TOUCHDOWNS! Moving personnel within the program makes it look like your doing something, but your not. What a sad year, all these so called top recruiting classes and it cant get put on the field..

We were a better offensive team when Coach Richt called the plays and coached the QB’s. We were unpredictable to the other team. QB’s did more fakes and protected the ball. Now, every person watching a game, doesn’t even have to have seen any game films, knows what we are doing. 1st down – Pass, incomplete, 2nd down – run, gain 3 yds., 3rd down – pass, gain 4 yrds., 4th down – punt. We’ve done it for 3 years and after watching the Liberty Bowl, I see no change whatsoever in that mentality. No guts either. drive 96 yards and settle for a FG????????????? COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McGarity who is running the Athletic Department you or CMR? You are suppose to be an independent observer. We lost to every team that is ranked in the top 40 this year and then lost to UCF and didn’t even score one touchdown. Why come to UGA if you are going to wear blinders.

Richt can stay as long as he wants as far as I’m concerned. Football is cyclical. Georgia will be good again, whether next year or in a few years. Georgia finished 2nd in the Nation 3 years ago, while Alabama lost to Louisiana Monroe. Auburn has had several years of being mediocre and 4 straight losses to Georgia until this year. They will be down again- probably next year when Newton is gone. UGA, Florida, USC, Texas, Tennessee and many others were all pretty lousy this year. Some people need to get a life and a clue.

It is not out of the norm for a new top man to come in and reshuffle resposibilities and tasks. If CMR feels like a burden has been taken off of him that will allow him to be more in tune with the latest trends and schemes then more power to him. Having said that – I have to question the over the top endorsement of Searles and Bobo – Searles was a very sought after line coach wheh he came to UGA – maybe there are issues with the players more than the coach. But Bobo? Too inconsistent and predictable……….there are way better OC mids out there that would love to coach at UGA….the Bobo situation smells a lot like the Martinez one. Cut him loose Mark before he pulls you down with him. He’ll have to find another way to support his burgeoning family. He is NOT an SEC or national caliber offensive mind – the offensive game of today has gone WAY PAST what Bobo can imagine. Hoping for a much better 2011 – Go Dawgs!
