Notebook: Richt laughs at label of ‘Hot Seat Bowl’ vs. Ole Miss

I think it’s time to sit Murray, Murray has still not beat a winning team, 0-8? The three turnovers against South Carolina were thingsa Mason wouldn’t have done.

You’re not going to sack Mason, he makes quick decisions like Kellen Moore. I don’t think Mason’s going to throw int’s either with the No. 1 offense.

Mason went right to Charles for a long td, somethign Murray’s been unabe to do for the last 2 games.

Mason had poise.

A logjam of talent at QB is a great problem!

Not sure the answer, but I am sure bashing Murray isn’t the answer Dawg “fans”. Fact is, he’s Preseason All SEC and 9-2 touchdown to interception ratio is pretty darn good.

The new guy is always the answer…till he ain’t! Jake, how could we know about poise when he’s never taken a snap in the heat of the battle in a close game?

Murray seems to get worse with starts, when you lose 8 for 8 against winning teams, you start feeling like you’ll find a way to lose, you get a losing mentality.

Murray really had to mess up to lose that SC game, but he did. Just like the UF game.

Need a new QB without the losing mentality. Need to get new QB lots of experience before MSU, Tenn, UF, Aub.

The Murray experiment is over.

The defense is solid, the special teams are good, the rushing unit is rolling, just need to find a QB who can score, keep the chains moving, and not give it away with turnovers.

Murray is NOT the guy.

Mason set all the records for the state of Georgia for td’s, yards, etc. He was over 70% accurate and threw over 40 td’s with only 5 int’s in the season his senior year. Threw 7 td’s in a playoff game. Took Lassiter further than they’d ever gone. Murray’s team won the state championship the year before Murray did, and the year after Murray left.

Tom Brady was overlooked. Mason is awesome.

I am concerned with Murray, too. He is beginning to remind me a bit of Eric Zeir- a great QB with a lead. Zeir’s legacy is nothing like Green’s in that with 2 minutes left in a game and the dawgs behind, Green brought us to victory many times. Murray has yet to do that, if fact, he makes more mistakes than I had hoped.

You are the exact reason UGA is the laughing stock of the SEC. You care way too much about stars than the actual talent or potential. UGA has gotten more stars than any team could have ever asked for and still finishes subpar every season. It’s hilarious. UGA has an average recruiting class of like 5 ever since Richt has gotten there, Boise hovers around 67th in the country every year, and yet you get annihilated in your own back yard. Pathetic. Keep counting those stars, we’d love you to stay where you’ve been.

Go to all the home games and some away games with my wife including the last 2 G day games. Murray is one of those players who is too good to bench but keeps the Dawgs from beating winning games. Murray threw some great passes against SC as he did last year in Jax, but his interceptions and fumbles clearly lost those two games as well. Mason also clearly outplayed Murray in the this years G day game.

“Poor QB play IS the problem. Newton, Moore & Tebow proved that QB play is THE difference between winning & losing.”

That might be true in the spread offense that Florida, Auburn or BSU runs, but it’s not true of every offense. You don’t need a hot-dog athlete at quarterback in a pro style offense, you need someone with a good arm who doesn’t make mistakes. I’m not really familiar with what Georgia is running this year, I’m just speaking in general terms.

If you have a very good defense, then you’ll want to play ball control offense and consume as much clock as possible. What style of QB you need depends upon what your overall strategy is. There have been many National Championships won by “mediocre” quarterbacks. The offensive line can make a good QB look bad — or worse.

Jake,
You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. Murray won the state championship with his high school team during his senior year. He broke his leg midway through the season and then came back in time for the playoffs and upset a highly favored team in rout to the championship. Murray isn’t perfect, but for God’s sake, he’s a SOPHOMORE. He knows what it takes to win. The team has just been on the wrong side of lady luck recently. Things will turn around and I guarantee it will be with Murray at the helm. Go Dawgs!

Jake

I think the SEC is becoming more and more about 1 guy being the vocal point of the offense. Cam Newton was that for Auburn. Tebow was that at Florida. Marcus Lattimore is that at South Carolina. AJ Green was that for us. There are a few exceptions to the rule: Alabama and LSU. But more more times than not, most successful teams have a bell cow that they go to in tough situations.

Now is regards to your assessment of Murray: I think Murray is having to readjust his passing this year. Last year he could lob it up to AJ Green and he would make the play. But now he’s having to learn to be more accurate with his throws, which I think is doable, but its going to take a bit of time. Now do I think Murray can be a Cam Newton where he carries the team on his back? No. But I think if you surround him with some playmakers, he can get the job done. UGA has seemed to have done that in the running game with Crowell, but we need a consistent playmaker in the receiving corp, and right now we don’t have one, yet another reason Murray has struggled.

And I completely disagree with your assessment on our defense: it is anything but solid! The offense played good enough to beat Arkansas,Florida and Auburn last year, but the defense put up no resistance whatsoever. But Mark Richt doesn’t believe in defense or in solid O-Line play, and hasn’t for years now. He recruits studs at the skill positions, but not in the trenches, and we have seen the results on the field. I loved David Greene and DJ Shockley, but neither of those guys would have won half the games they did with the defenses we have fielded the last 4-5 years.There is a difference between having a bad defense and a non-existent one, and UGA’s defense far too often has become non-existent in big games. When one side of the ball is non-existent, that is what we call a COACHING problem.

By the way, Murray did lose the ballgame. He should have been benched after fumbling the ball the way he did in the SC game. He did the same thing last year. Also, LeMay will have been inactive for two years next year. He will be rusty for a while. Mason should be given enough snaps to figure out if he deserves playing time.

Richt can AFFORD to laugh at his predicament. He gets paid, win or lose. My problem with his performance is that he’s no longer worth the high salary.

I don’t think that Dan Mullen or Kirby Smart is the answer to the question, who should be our next coach? We need to find someone like Fitzgerald at Northwestern: devoted to the program and his players, team-first attitude, and happy to be doing his job.

Jake, Joe Cox was undefeated in high school….look how that worked out. Murray has an insane amount of leadership and he is still learning. Let the kid grow up.

Richt is a total joke, and for him to laugh when a reporter points out the fact that he should be on the “Hotseat”, proves how arrogant he actually is. The reporter should have also pointed out that this game is between the 2 worst teams in the SEC also. For UGA to be in this position and for this guy to still be the head coach is a disgrace. Yet UGA fans still listen to what this guy has to say. This coach and his coaching staff have proven over and over again that they don’t have the talent to coach up players and to prepare a game plan that will win against quality competition. If UGA keeps this clown after this season after he wins 7 or 8 games, then UGA and it’s fans get what they deserve. UGA fans have accepted mediocrity for the past 30 years, so i don’t have alot of faith that they will change and demand more. Maybe a loss Saturday, and a loss against Miss.St will finally convince Adams and Mcgarity that this guy is nothing but talk and excuses. God we can only hope so. For any UGA fans to think that Richt and Bobo will give Mason a fair chance, forget it. That would mean the 2 clowns made a bad judgement in talent,OOPS, forgot Richt and his coaches know what the hell they are doing. Right.

To the idiots comparing Richt to Saban, Spurrier, Miles, Myer….you are clueless.

When you hear people talk about the best coaches in college football, you hear all the names above except for Richt. The common theme of every expert show is that Richt is soft and does not have the drive or hunger to be the best. I am surprised that the UGA fan base has tolerated this soft attitude so easily for the past 5 years. Playing with another coaches recruits does not reflect what kind of coach you are. But playing with the guys you recruited, signed and coached from the beginning is more of true reflection of your coaching ability.

Get real and stop defending a guy who does not want the job, but wants the money.

As for the morons comparing an unproven backup to the a sophomore who has in truth been told kept UGA in games against Florida, Auburn, USC twice and Tech that the defense of UGA could not stop or get a score against. Even the coaches at UGA realize that Mason is just a back up and in time the high school drop out from N.C will be the quarterback of the future if he can learn the playbook.

It does not matter who the QB is. The game plan is to control the ball, no turnover, make the plays on offensive work and defensive stop the plays on scoring drive. Oh, yes score more points than the other team! You should win the game.

Take Murray out and see what that does to the team chemistry if he’s the team’s leader. I have a feeling all these posts calling for Mason to start are from the same guy. Hey Jake is your last name Mason too?

We get tons of respect nationally. Always have. Always will.

We are the 11th in wins all time in NCAA history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_win-loss_records

An elite program. Always will be.

All time SEC Titles

Alabama 22
Tennesse 13
UGA 12

How many big ten titles does Indiana have. Ill bet it isnt 12.

One thing is for sure though. All the trolls on here just prove that we are still elite.

Nobody is on the UAB boards trolling around.

When the Trolls leave that’s when Ill get worried. As long as they are here it means they are very worried about Georgia and that’s good.

I think there’s no downside to playing Mason some. Get him some experience in case Murray goes down. And what if Murray is ineffective for a quarter and Mason comes in and leads us to scores? Play him more.

Murray is tough, and seems to be a leader, but unfortunately, and for various reasons that all aren’t his doing, he hasn’t yet lead this team to a meaningful win. Some of his miscues like missing open WRs, interceptions, and fumbles have led to losses in at least 2 or 3 games.

Maybe using both QBs can get us over the hump.

Was that an intentional or unintentional funny? Yeah, when he pulled those red undies off, he did pull off his firing. I unfortunately agree, Evans was part of the protected class. Like Barack Obama.

I am thinking a lot of black unemployment is now because people are afraid to hire blacks because once you do, you can’t fire them if they don’t work out. It is a sad situation and one that needs to be remedied, if we are to have racial harmony.

That has to be about the dumbest comment ive ever heard.

If anybody was a protected class it was W Bush who was born with a silver spoon in his backside.

Obama was a mixed race child born poor and worked hard to achieve what he has. He wasnt ” protected ” in any way. W was.

Obama got into Harvard on his own.

Bush got into Yale because of who his daddy was.

Big difference.

Jake – didn’t murray break most of the UGA passing records as a freshman last year? didnt’t we average over 32 (32.08) points per game last year with murray at the helm?

compare that to stafford’s last year at UGA (31.46 ppg), or 2007 when we finished 2nd in the country (32.62 ppg).

I think we are okay with murray but thanks for the insight on mason’s domination over Coastal Carolina.

in 2002’s climate, we could have beaten florida and we would have been like Auburn in 2004

Unless the 2 media darlings OSU and Miami lost, we had no chance of getting into the game.

Richt was watching(as we all were) the Miami/VT score. VT scored a bunch of points on them but still lost. Losing that game was the only way we would have gotten to play for the title.

You’re right. A 10-3 season is not acceptable to Alabama fans — even if all three losses were very close games against Top-10 competition… Even if they’re coming off of a National Championship season and two consecutive undefeated regular seasons.

Losing will not be tolerated by an elite football program. Saban better get his act together this year.

Blaming Murray for the loss against S. Carolina is like blaming your tires for causing you to get into an accident.

Ellijay D,

Because Les Miles doesn’t give a krap about his individual players feelings / warm and fuzzy hugs / etc in my opinion.

He began with great recruits from Saban and won with good coaching which translated into continued good recruiting.

So now he just loads up the lines, pulls who he thinks isn’t 100%, plugs another one in who is begging for some field time and…………wins.

Miles, Saban, Spurrier, and a couple of others in the SEC do the same…………but not Rev Richt.

By the way, you probably know that The Bear was the absolute master at this. I only wish Richt had taken this approach instead of the “Hey Buddies, let’s go high diving together!” tact.

Of course, the above is only my opinion.
