Mark Richt calls out Washaun Ealey at Augusta Bulldog Club meeting
I had a really good time Wednesday night down at the Augusta Bulldog Club meeting. I want to say a special thank you to club president Scott Edwards and the group’s board members for their tremendous hospitality. Good eats, good drink and the Julian Smith Casino is a very impressive space.
And, no, it’s not that kind of casino. The word “casino,” as I learned, can also mean, “a building or large room used for meetings, entertainment, dancing, etc.,” and that’s what this was. As a result, I came home with the same amount of money I left with. So thanks again.
Anyway, I found the actual program to be moderately enlightening. I say moderate because, the truth is, in the digitally-wired age we live in, there is very little imparted at such events that anyone paying attention doesn’t already know. But there were a few things we all learned.
Probably the most notable was the present status of running back Washaun Ealey. Ealey, we learned, is still fully in coach Mark Richt’s doghouse.
“Washaun has a ways to go still to show me that he deserves to start or even play right now,” said Richt, who was asked about Ealey during the question-and-answer session at the end of the program. “He has a ways to go in my book. We’ll see. I love him, though.”
Ealey was suspended indefinitely from the team in February for missing an early-morning disciplinary run. He was reinstated in time for spring practice in March but was sidelined with a hamstring injury after only four practices and did not practice again.
A rising junior from Stillmore, Ealey was a seven-game starter for the Bulldogs’ last season and led them in rushing with 811 yards and 11 touchdowns. But at this point he looks to be trailing Caleb King, Ken Malcome, Carlton Thomas and maybe even incoming freshman Isaiah Crowell in the battle for the starting tailback job.
“That position is wide open,” Richt said.
Other revelations from the meeting:
- Richt pointed out that donations to the Hartman Fund actually exceeded the previous year even after last year’s losing season.
- I asked Richt about senior offensive tackle Trinton Sturdivant, who still has not decided whether he’ll try to continue his football career after undergoing a third knee reconstruction recently. “You know, I talked to Trinton the other day,” he said. “I don’t know if he’s made his final decision on whether or not if he wants to play football again. But he mentioned something to me the other day about having a long-term goal of wanting to be an athletic director in college. I thought that was pretty cool. He wants to spend some time with [football operations director] Josh Brooks and see if maybe see that’s a path he may want to follow.”
- Of course, with the NFL draft was fresh on everyone’s mind Wednesday evening. At that time Richt was still thinking wide receiver A.J. Green had a chance to become the No. 1 pick. Most believe now that the Carolina Panthers will take quarterback Cameron Newton with the top spot. “I don’t think anybody knows,” Richt said. “I don’t know. A.J. doesn’t know. If he was going to be the first pick he’d probably know by now. Usually by now it’s done but we haven’t heard anything yet so, so anything could happen I guess.”
- Richt thought several other players could get drafted, including defensive end Justin Houston, offensive linemen Clint Boling, linebacker Akeem Dent and wide receiver Kris Durham. “We’re excited for all our guys to get drafted,” Richt said. “If they get drafted, we want them to get drafted high. The higher they get drafted the greater chance they get to make a club. In the case of A.J., there’s a financial windfall that could probably last him his whole life if he invests it properly. So we’re really happy for those guys.”
- Richt declined comment on Houston’s reported failed drug test other than to say he has not talked him. “I wish Justin the best; that’s what I wish,” he said.
- If the season started today Richt said the starting offensive line would be: Cordy Glenn at left tackle, Kenarious Gates at left guard, Ben Jones at center, Chris Burnette at right guard and A.J. Harmon at right tackle. This was interesting to me as I would have thought Justin Anderson at right tackle.
- He said UGA maintains a “tremendous relationship” with Carver High in Columbus.

trupert,
You’re still presenting a false dichotomy. You don’t have to cheat to win. You’re making it sound like you have to be a cheater to get good talent. Richt pulled in one of the best classes in the country last year (and has consistently for several years now). Did he cheat to do it?
The problem has never been talent. The problems have been discipline and strategy.

Timbo,
I have knee surgeries older than you son.
You were born in 1985 or 1986?
You have only witnessed Donnan at age 10-15 and richt through age 15-25?
You don’t know how bad we were when you were 5 years old.
at least that explains some of your comments.
It’s all about perspective.
We won an SEC title 4 years before you were born. We didn’t wina nother one until 2002, when you were probably a senior in college. We don’t have 13 national titles. We have 2 and the last one was in 1980. We had 6 SEC titles from 1964 until 1988. We have had 2 under richt.
That will give you a little hisotry and explain to you why some of us view richt as a very good coach who is the victim of his own success.
If he doesn’t win this year though, I will support the next guy.

I understand that, DawginLex, I do. And I always appreciate your input because you are rational and understanding.
But my point is just because we have been mediocre for a long time doesn’t mean we should be happy with being “pretty good” when we COULD BE GREAT.
We are the ONLY major team in the state, which produces TONS of talent. We grab plenty of it every year.
While I appreciate that Richt is a good guy (really I do; I’ve met him and he is a great person), he does not have the winning edge that a head coach needs to have. He does not put the BEST candidates in place at key positions, and is WAY too loyal (see Bobo, Mike). I understand loyalty. But loyalty has its limits. This is business.

DawginLex,
I guess I’m contradicting myself a bit here, but I don’t necessarily want Richt fired. I just want us to be a major player on the national scene.
And, in my opinion, for that to happen Richt has to swallow his pride and let loose his personal ties. Surround himself with the best coaching talent. Mike Bobo is not it.
As for my (obvious) obsession with Mullen, I like the fact that he has a plan.
With Richt, the one thing that really sticks out to me is that he has no real strength. Mullen is an offensive guy. Saban is a defensive guy. What is Richt? He has no identity. And if he doesn’t surround himself with strong coordinators and position coaches, we will continue to struggle in my opinion.

Snoop Dawg like’s Timbodog’s logic today. Since the topic is Waushaun Ealey today, let’s talk about leadership and who is being paid big bucks to provide it at UGA. As a 30 year military officer well into his second career, the Army defines leadership loosely as “getting others to willingly do what you ask or tell them to do.” The fact that Ealey, who probably came from a poor background, doesn’t have forged discipline should be a work-in-progress for Richt. Instead, he publicly throws him under the bus. Ill advised. What do you think the team thinks about Richt when he’s thrown about half a dozen players under the bus over the past two years to deflect from his own coaching deficiencies?
The bittersweet reality is that with the creampuff schedule UGA has drawn, we are probably looking at a 9 win season plus or minus, IN SPITE OF RICHT. Richt will not, and can not whip Florida this year or ever unless he catches them way down. My fear is that this will lead to keeping Richt even longer. Richt flat does not have what it takes to take the UGA football program to the promised land. He suvives, and thrives on the raw talent, the fan base, and his canny ability to always deflect blame on something or someone else.
Being a good person does not entitle someone to $3M year after year without achieving goals and realizing the vision. The Bulldog Nation need to quit equating loyalty to blind defense of Richt and instead provide a little tough love: demand championships! Let’s be real. Cam Newton would be right up there with Herschel Walker if Richt had seen his potential and recruited him out of his back yard at College Park High School. You can almost man an SEC all-star team from Georgia hs players that Richt did not bring into Athens but instead signed up with rivals.
If you want UGA to be a player in the BCS more than once in a generation, then we need to get rid of Richt regardless of the outcome of this season.

Timbodog, You keep harping on discipline so I assume you’re looking at UGA’s arrest numbers and are compairing them to Auburn, Alabama and the rest and you are suggesting that Richt has less control over his players than other coaches?
At UGA, it’s school policy for the campus police to turn over any player who has broken the law to the Athens Clark Co police and they take the players to jail, especially when it’s alcohol related because it is a school policy. Ever wonder why we never hear about a Auburn or Alabama player getting arrested for the simple things like driving with a suspended license etc.
The last four Alabama player arrests were of players getting in trouble at bars where it could not be covered up. We almost never hear about players at Tennessee, Alabama or Auburn getting into trouble for the simple things that all students do and it’s only when they break into a house and rob a family at gun point or any crime that a coach or dean can’t handle that they ever get arrested. Could it be simple chance that players at other schools are model students 99% of the time and all the sudden decide to rob somebody like they did at Tennessee and Auburn and the Ga players never do the serious crimes despite get into so much simple trouble for drinking, driving with suspended license, driving a moped without a helment etc?
At UGA they never get turned over to a coach or dean when they break the law, they get arrested. At most SEC schools they never get arrested but it’s handled by the coach.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not giving Richt a full pass on the player arrests but when UGA’s policy is that the police always arrest the player when they have broken the law and most other SEC schools players never get arrested except for when it can’t be covered up, we need to keep this in mind when judging Richt or any Ga coach on arrest numbers.
You can repeat, it’s a false dichotomy, but facts are facts and we need to compare apples to apples.

Timmydog, so if the policy at Ga results in the player getting arrested while the policy at another school results in a player getting taken to his coach for the same offense, we should blame Richt?
What’s your point? Did I lie about the difference in policy? Do we hold Richt to the same level of critism when his players are getting arrested for the same things that players at other schools are getting away with?
I will support Richt as long as he is the coach and if they replace him, I will suport that coach as long as he is the coach. If you are a real UGA fan, you should realize that nothing good can come from critcizing a coach while he is recruiting players and nothing positive can come from it because Richt will be the coach for the 2011 season regardless. There are many more who support Richt than who don’t.

That “loyalty” argument is so overplayed. The only reason folks cling to it is because they know they don’t have to back it up with anything, and it keeps them from having to say what they are realy implying but don;t have the balls to say. So better to just copycat something that can’t be right or wrong.
But yea, its all about being loyal to a guy he didn’t even know when he got this job. More “loyal” to one coach, or one player, than the other thousands of people in his life.
Nothing to do with the reality that the first logical opportinity to make a move at OC (if so) would be after this season. It’s all just purely emotional. But only for the one guy.

The message to Ealey is that one act can put you in the doghouse and it takes a body of work to recover. Richt didn’t say Ealey isn’t going to play this year or threaten to yank his scholarship. He said he loved him but that he needs to prove himself. The components required are good behavior and time. I expect that Ealey knows exactly what is expected and has agreed to comply.
Richt is running a football team made of over 100 members with various backgrounds. He has to treat each person individually and as a member of the team. There are a lot of people that believe that is easy but its not. He does this will trying to compete in the SEC. Again not easy. He is also responsible for fund raising functions like Bull Dawg Club appearances. There people want to know all sorts of things about the team including discussing disciplinary issues. What do y’all expect him to say?
“Ealey is a stud running back and even though he broke team rules I am going to look the other way because he’s the best we got,” won’t cut it. Richt has to graduate his athletes of the NCAA will cut scholarships, he has to abide by the rules or they will cut scholarships, suspend players, or worse, he also has to compete at the highest level, or the AD will boot him to the curb. That’s the profession and he’s good at it. He does the job with class and I don’t understand all the criticism.

I love how some people say Richt plays “favorites” when it comes to discipline but conveniently overlook the facts.
1. Let the Mettenberger thing go. 1st most people judge that he was the better QB based on one eye test in a glorified scrimage that has proven over the years not to mean much as it relates to how players perform in the real season. 2nd it wasn’t Richt who went down to a valdosta bar with a fake ID, got hammered, groped a female or two, and then came back and LIED to his coach about it.
2. W. Ealey- It wasn’t coach Richt who decided to drive while on a suspended DL, crash his teammates car into another parked car and then chose to flee the scene of the accident. It wasn’t Richt who then messed up again by violated some undisclosed team rule and then decided to blow off his agreed to punishment, and then once he’s reinstated and given a THIRD chance decides to do something yet AGAIN to put himself in the dog house.
It has nothing to do with playing favorites. It’s about accountability.
Murray hasn’t done anything but be a model citizen while at UGA and has proven to be a capable leader both on and off the field. THAT’s why he isn’t in or has been in CMR’s doghouse, not because Richt is playing favorites.
Really Bud?

@Bud are you really going to start throwing around Bible verses on here? Even those that want Richt out as coach would agree that he has always been a stand up guy. Are you trying to prove him a sinner or a bad coach? I’m tempted to use your same tactics and throw some verse out about not judging but I’ll take the high ground and leave you to your Bible bashing.
I would love to see the quotes where Richt explicitly blames team problems on Mettenberger, Ealey or Gray? He never did. Also Mettenberger didn’t just “leave” the team. He was arrested multiple times on charges that included sexual assault. Last season Ealey – arrested. And as much as I love Gray he was just never as good as Murray (hard to argue after Murray broke multiple freshmen records last year wouldn’t you say?). And you are saying Richt plays players based on entitlement?? Let’s keep off the off-field issues in mind. Based on Mettenbergers actions he was ENTITLED to be kicked off the team. Ealey has earned his way into Richt’s doghouse by getting arrested and breaking multiple team rules. As for Gray, he just lost out on a QB battle to one of the premier red-shirt freshmen QB’s in the nation.
I can understand that you have issues with Richt not winning for the past two years (keep in mind he still has amassed a 96-34 record while at UGA). But to say he’s coaching decisions are biased because of favoritism is absurd.
As a student at UGA it’s disappointing to see Dawg Nation ripping their coach so much. The truth is if you’re a UGA fan then Richt is your coach. Whine and complain and moan all you want but he isn’t going anywhere until at least after this year. So get on board with the Dawgs gett ouuutttttt!!!!!

Too many complainers on the blog today— It is preseason guys give it a rest. When the season has been played out things will take care of themselves. A little inside for you guys. Coach Richt has been put on notice by McGarity that the Dawgs had better show marked improvement. To me the biggest disappointment the last 4 years is he stayed with Martinez 2 years too long and now has stayed with Bobo 2 years longer than he should have as well. I admire him for his loyalty but in this day and age it is about winning and if you are not then they will eventually replace you. Now having said this Coach Richt is a gentleman and a decent man and I hope and pray that OUR Dawgs surprise all of us this year and come out with the fire, intensity and win the SEC.

Excellent post. Many people on here keep calling for Mettenberger. The kid is obviously a talented QB, but the crap he pulled here in Valdosta should have gotten his butt thrown in jail. He then made it even worse by lying to CMR about what happened. CMR had no choice but to cut him loose.
Ealey has a ton of talent. If he gets his head screwed on right , he can still have a great college career and move on the the big $ in the NFL.
Murray is a class act, as well as a talented QB. Wish he was about 3-4 inches taller, but IMO he will be a big winner before he leaves UGA. I also expect to see LeMay get some playing time in 2012(reshirt in 11) like the old days of Greene and Shockley.

You claim that UGA can’t recruit or develop recievers. A. J. Green, Marlon Brown, Orson Charles, and Jay Rome were players that could have signed with any team in the nation. But, they all sign ed with Richt. Stafford, Murray, and Lemay were all 5 star out of state QBs that signed with Richt.

I agree. If, Ealey had the attitude and work ethic of Rodney Hampton, he could be great. He is averaging 750 yards a season splitting time with others. Also, he did not even play in first four or five games as a true freshman because of possible redshirting and still lead the team in rushing.

Martinez and Bobo have zero to do with “loyalty’. It’s a simple matter that his criteria, and timing differs than yours. Stop assuming that he sees thing exactly as you, therefore you need to offer up some backhanded compliment as to why his actions could possible be different that what you (think)you would do. Obviously he simply saw it differently from his perspective. One huge factor is that he demonstrated that it wasn’t just the co-coordinator at stake if/when he makes a change. Is it so hard to imagine he did not think it wise to let the entire defensive staff go in the offseason of just finishing a stellar season and sure to be rated the #1 team in the country? It’s so obvious that you would have?

Every successful Leader I have ever been exposed to had a plan, a system for success, a model. I remember when Saban came to Bama and addressed “his” team. He laid down his rules, told his players those who don’t buy in will be gone and suffered a 7-6 season. Probably twenty five percent of the players were lost during that period. Saban never flinched and although last years record was off a bit not many will doubt he still has a juggernaut.
I’ve never heard Mark Richt come even close to expressing his views on a system, or plan for success. I’m totally lost with most of the “blind” support he has. How does a “program” get so out of a coaches control? If Richt turns it around I will give Greg McGarity most of the credit.

I know Durham is viewed by the NFL as pedestrian. I could have used other descriptions but they would be tasteless. Fact is the guy is 6′, 6″ right? Although I know they exaggerate but he is an excellent route runner, has great hands and is not afraid to go over the middle. From what I’ve read, he’s resigned to not being drafted and possibly going the training camp invite thing.
There was a guy named Steve Largent who had the same attributes without the height and probably at least a step or two quicker but he also reminds me a bit of Jordan Shipley out of Texas. I think he might make someone an excellent third or fourth choice receiver. He’s got more heart than that entire team showed last year.

Get over this Ealey had more yards per carry than Herschel. Math shows that the more carries a player has the averages decrease. Especially when defenses are keying on you. More pass attempts get less opportunities to run the ball. Look at the total carries HW had per game and compare what WE has done then talk about what WE has done. What was it the HW did…Oh yes. he was a Heisman winner and a National Champion winner.

I think CMR is trying to prod Ealey into becoming a team player and forgetting about “me” so much. After all the chances this kid has gotten, I am not sure that is possible. I think he will probably be more a distraction than a plus. It is a shame because this kid has all the tools it takes to be a great runner, if all you needed was physical talent. His attitude has and probably will continue to make him a problem for his team and himself. This is his last year to impress the pros. and I don’t think he will. If not for CMR, trying to help this kid no matter what, he would not even be on the team. Bet most of the other coaches woud have given up on him by now.

All the leaders I’ve been exposed to would have never make broad generalizations based on what they didn’t hear somebody say. I can almost guarantee there is not a coach in the SEC that doesn’t have a system or a plan for success. I don’t know that I remember hearing any of them talk too much about it, but Nick Saban does tends to be a lot more publicly vocal about himself and his philosophies than some. No problem with that.
(as I have said many times)I think that Saban is a better and more experienced coach at this point in his career than Richt is now at this point in his, with a decade less in the business. Saban hit Alabama as his 3 college HC job, NFL HC, co-ordinator at college and NFL, 5 more assistant job as various places, I’d say Alabama was very smart to hire him.
Are we going to fire Mark Richt and hire Nick Saban this summer? Just wondering why we are going through this exersise.

If A.J. Harmon ends up being our starting right tackle our offensive line is even worse than I thought. We can forget about any deep routes because there’s no way we can protect the QB that long. Our defense is definitely going to have to carry us.

Agree that Saban had more experience to draw from. When I look at Richt and view the body of his work I just don’t see what a lot of his supporters see. I see a “series” of problems, a broad decline of the program as a “whole” over his tenure. It’s no “one” thing, in fact I really can’t think of “one” area in this program that is a strength at this point. Hopefully this season will start to turn some things around. I just think as a “Leader” Richt should have seen the light much earlier and am disappointed with the job he’s done. Seems right now that it’s more McGarity’s Leadership that’s responsible for the changes we’ve seen so far than CMR’s.
