UPDATED: McGarity meets with Grantham, SEC reviews confrontation at Vanderbilt

Good to see som passion by both teams after a hard fought gam – however, need to keep it professional.

Good for Vandy – this coach has his team playing the entire game.
Good for U of Georgia – they survived a game that appeard to be heading to a blow out.
Bad for Tennessee – we have a lot of work to do – or Vandy will beat us.

Best of luck the rest of the season.

Go Vols!

To everyone “ashamed” and “embarrased” about Grantham’s behavior?

You should be embarrased and ashamed that you have helped keep this idle and soft attitude at UGA with savior Richt.

He yelled at our players, CTG did a good job of restraint to not knock him out. That, actually is a good role model. Don’t write a check your a$$ can’t cash Vandy.

Love the fire of our defensive coordinator. Wish the entire team had that same fire before the game. It was evident as the team came out of the tunnel before the game they were not ready to play.

Kudos to VolsRule.

Classiest post by the “opposition” that I’ve read in recent memory.

Though I can’t stand UT during game week, when it’s over all is forgiven. Even when we lose.

At the end of the day, it is just a game – not life or death.

Good luck against SC and the rest of the season. Vandy may have found themselves a QB in Jordan Rodgers. He looked a lot like Aaron Saturday night.

Woof woof!

It is a shame when they even have to take the time to investigate incidents like this. You would think they would use their time more wisely, and investigate some of the real issues going on in the league. The DC was reacting to the Vandie coach calling out some UGA players after the game. UGA officials say they aren’t going to address what happened in the game that lead to that confrontation after the game. Makes perfect sense to me. At least we have a DC that stands behindhis players and doesn’t let a rookie coach tell off his players and confront them. It seems to me that the Vandy coach escalated the situation by acting less than professional. He could and should have addressed anything he thought was so terrible to the SEC office, not on the field. I guess he forgot that next year, they have to come into a real stadium and play the DAWGS.

GO DAWGS and GATA

The Vandy coach looks like the type who causes problems and then points the finger at someone else. Of course, his players were throwing cheap shots throughout the game which was alright with him. It might have gotten really wild if we had lost and the Vandy coach confronted Grantham about Williams. And his story about not being able to find Coach Richt sounds phony.

• Report this comment

Grantham doesn’t deserve any punishment in this case. Franklin started this and Grantham is not a wimp or what you call a beta, someone that is not a leader but one who sits back and takes anything thrown at them because they can’t deal with confrontation. Grantham is an Alpha or leader and is not going to take any mess from anyone especially if it has to do with one of his players.
Maybe Grantham could have handled it better but his defense had just gone from great in the first half to terrible in the second half and didn’t know really what happened. Grantham takes a lot of pride in the defense and was already on edge. Franklin is a head coach and instigated the whole thing. I will be very disappointed if anything go’s against Grantham.
If we don’t start showing a little support to the best defensive coach that we have seen since Van Gorder was run off by RIcht the same thing is going to happen to Grantham. Richt needs to run off Bobo and hire a great offensive coordinator and a special teams coach. McGarity needs to address the things that are broken not the thing’s that aren’t and the one really great bright spot this year has been our DEFENSE and Grantham is the reason for that.

What I don’t understand is Franklin’s remark that he was “looking for Richt, but couldn’t find him.” What happened to the customary handshake at the end of the game? I guess then that when he “found one of Richt’s assistants”, he found the wrong one. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but in viewing the pictures of the incident, it is clear that Franklin’s posturing was telling Grantham to “come get some!” It is also clear to me from Franklin’s news conference that he is a sour grapes whiny prick who was far more concerned with Georgia player’s behavior than his own. “We are not going to take anything from anyone!” Whatever. He should have gotten him self off the field instead of walking around addressing Georgia’s players. He started it — Grantham finished it.

By the way, check out the warm, fuzzy lovefest between the two head coaches after the Lions/49ers game yesterday. God Bless Coach Richt. God Bless Georgia. Go Dawgs !!!!

According to Butler on the morning show yesterday it had to do with the chop blocking by Vandy.

Don’t see a problem with what Grantham did at all. Hes’ an intense guy who stuck up for his players when he saw some BS happening. I promise you he gained a ton of points with his defensive players!

The post game incident is being blown out of proportion and it is wrong to place all the blame and scrutiny on Grantham.

1. Franklin was way out of line when he pointed at one of Georgia’s players and yelled at him after the game and he was the instigator of the incident despite the fact he holds himself out as the victim.

2. You cant see Franklin’s face during the incident given the camera angle and only Grantham and the players close by know what Franklin was saying. Given Grantham’s body language and Franklin’s pointing, it is clear Franklin was the initial aggressor.

3. Grantham should be applauded and not punished for standing up for his players when the opposing coach is pointing and yelling at them after the game.

4. Grantham has performed better than any of the assistant coaches at UGA this season and he is very mush responsible for Georgia being in the hunt for the SEC East championship.

5. UGA is very lucky to have Grantham who will likely save CMR’s job. If UGA punishes Grantham when he was not in the wrong, it may lose him when the NFL or some other college comes calling and that would be a huge loss for the program.

6. The UGA program has not shown the fire and passion Grantham brings since Brian Van Gorder departed. Grantham’s defense has bailed Bobo’s offense out all season. Case in point, at the end of the game, the offense could not muster a first down and the defense rose to the occasion and shut down Vandy’s offense after the blocked punt. UGA’s offense continues to play very inconsistently and special teams are awful. Without Grantham’s defense, the Dawgs could easily have lost to Miss State, Ole Miss and Tenn.

Bottom line, everyone needs to get off Grantham’s case and lets get ready to play the Gators.

I do like Grantham’s fire and I hate he got in trouble–I like the guy and the passion he brings to UGA…We needed some passion……But he has to learn that you have to be smarter. Fire is great–but you must control fire—fire out of control gets you in trouble…You must let your fire burn under control in the right way…..How well I know—speaking from my own experiences and firey attitude.

The players will want to play hard for him…which is great….But hope that he learns to be smarter….all he had to do was talk without the pointing and yelling…Just talk to Franklin and say hey I stand up for my players and stand behind my players and walk off……and Let Franklin get in trouble for jawing with him and Williams….Let Franklin be the one to get in trouble. Then got back and tell Williams to play hard on the field–but don’t say anyting to other teams coaches….no win situation…you have to take care of these things on the field in the right manner.

Coach Grantham was in the right. A head coach should never go directly to the opposing player.

1. It isn’t the AJC or Tech fans that are sustaining the debate over the Franklin/Grantham shouting match, it is the SEC. I doubt if this is just going to go straight under the rug like many on here wish. This was a dangerous situation and could have been much worse. There is a GA high school coach in the hospital today with facial reconstruction to attest to that fact.

2. Before you jump on the Grantham for head coach bandwagon shouldn’t you consider the mediocre performance of the defense in his tenure? I’m not dissing the kids but the fact that they are undisciplined and often perform individual celebrations of their mediocrity speaks volumes on their coaching.

3. Does he have the temperament to be a head coach or the credentials to maintain an offense or special teams as well? Being a hot head does not qualify you for head coach. Granted it can help in a Vince Lombardi kind of way but it can kill a program as well. Woody Hayes was quite successful until his famous right hook.

4. No matter what the trailer trash contingent thinks the actions of both coaches have no place in the college game. This is not the NFL or rasslin’. Franklin’s actions are Vandy’s problem. Unfortunately Grantham’s actions are UGA’s. Sinking to this level does not reflect well on the schools, period.

5. Bulletin board stuff doesn’t work in the pros, it is just part of the show. 18-22 year olds are a different matter entirely. You can bet the Gators probably will skip the bulletin board and put up a poster sized picture of the choke sign.

If the events are as described, then kudos to Coach Grantham. Who does Vandy’s coach think he is? Woody Hayes? I hope the commissioner remprimands him for going after another team’s player personally. That’s completely unacceptable.

Grantham is no Erk. I think this is being handled properly and I don’t think anyone should draw comclusions until all the facts are sorted out. I hate it in that it’s an unnecessary distraction for UGA and VU.
Also, I’m sick to death of hearing about the choke sign crap. Way too big deal was made and is being made of it. Even Florida’s kicker didn’t think it was a big deal and it was he that it was directed toward. Fact is, the media is making it and this situation (albeit more of a big deal) more than it really is.

Vandy while lacking in talent plays sound fundamentals and makes you beat them. At the end of year this may be a bigger win that you give yourself credit for. Florida is lacking on point of attack on both sides. Dogs really want it. Keep the emotions through each play and Georgia is developing into a solid team that no one is going to want to fool with.

Coach should talk to coach, if they see eye to eye on right versus wrong, then that players coach needs to deal with that player. Never should an opposing coach go after the kid. This is just basic leadership but too many of you who know NOTHING about leadership would have rather had the Vandy coach just say whatever he wants to Williams.

This whole episode could have been avoided if Coach Grantham had simply followed the Golden Rule. When he saw Coach Franklin’s behavior toward one of the Dawgs, Grantham could have marched over with a smile (whether genuine or forced) on his face, shaken hands with Franklin and whispered in Franklin’s ear, “Let’s discuss this matter privately. I don’t appreciate you taking out your frustrations on my players. We can invite Coach Richt and any other of our coaches you’d like to join us. But leave our players out of it. You and I are the adults on the field.”

That would be the mark of a gentleman. Instead, he acted as a hothead spewing profanities. He had the opportunity to defuse the situation, but caused problems for himself and embarrassment for the university he represents.

His apology today was halfhearted, at best: “First of all, I love my players and appreciate their hard work and investment in our program. I feel a responsibility and loyalty to protect and stand up for them. However, I feel it’s important to educate them in all areas of life. While my intentions were genuine, I feel it was unfortunate that things escalated to a confrontation. However, I’ll use it as a learning experience for myself as well as my players so that we all become better men.”

Yes, “things escalated to a confrontation” because Grantham let emotions get the better of him. He should have admitted that explicitly. It takes two to tango and two to engage in a confrontation.

(Of course, I realize that Grantham’s “apology” was actually written by UGA staff lawyers. But still.)

Coach Grantham admits he got caught up in the moment and should of handled things a bit differently. I don’t think anyone out there has not done something like that in their life. Hind sight is always better, right? I think there are bigger problems here that led to this event which involves more that CTG, but more on CMR. I support CMR and think he is the best coach UGA has seen in many years and would be very difficult to replace, but he needs to address the personal foul problem, there is no reason for punching in a football game unless it is on the street. We have to get that through to all the players. Secondly is when are we going to hire a great offensive co.? Bobo is not even a good coach but we need someone who is great. That is the only way we will ever see the likes of a National Championship or even SEC these days. I went to school with Bobo and i thought he was a mediocre QB and now as a coach he makes bad play call decisions. Example first possession against Vandy on 3rd and 5 from the 40 or so we go for the endzone??? why??? we could have just went for 5 yds and not asked Walsh to kick a 50 yd fg and took more time off the clock. He does sh** like that all the time. CMR and McGarity need to address this far more than CTG and i hope they will at the end of this season.

I have been a season ticket holder for many years and the actions of this coach over the last two years have been unacceptable

Georgia’s number 36 came to the Vanderbilt sideline after the game and began taunting (in his face)Coach Franklin. Coach Franklin told Grantham about it and it escalated from there. (I attended the game and saw it).

Bulldog brothers, we have ourselves a defensive coordinator. What is NOT shown is the behavior of Coach Franklin. If Grantham is dynamite, Franklin is the lighted fuse who caused the situation to blow up. Now, take that passion to Jacksonville and let’s GATA!!

Williams was telling Franklin about his displeasure with the ankle twisting under the pile, the chop blocking, eye gouging and the attempts to achieve maximum wedgies. I was the camera guy standing next to Franklin and I saw it.

Actually, let’s just let the video show what happened. Seeing as how parts of your story already don’t line up with the video.

Big Dawg,

Georgia Tech has the nation’s highest average SAT score for football players, and also the highest average high school GPA.

UGA, on the other hand, had one of the very lowest SAT averages, as well as a very low GPA average. As a result, three-fourths of UGA players are “special admits,” when means that they can not meet the minimum educational and intelligence requirements for admission to UGA, even as low as that is.

Yes, it would be great if Tech was more competitive with UGA, but most Tech fans are proud of our heritage of having intelligent, responsible athletes who go on to rewarding careers and contribute to society.

Contrast this with the very unintelligent t-h-u-g-s that UGA recruits. The 45 arrests over the last four years is proof enough, not to mention winning the Fulmer Cup. Most of these goons are tossed out after their eligibility is over, and many end up on welfare.

UGA is clearly just a football f-a-c-t-o-r-y dedicated to winning at all costs, and most UGA fans are okay with this, with no concern about the embarrassment this brings to the State of Georgia.

Mark Richt is the architect of this situation. With his $3.5 million salary, he will continue to recruit the illiterate brain-dead t-h-u-g-s who he thinks will win. Unfortunately for UGA fans, he’s not remotely in the same league with the top coaches in the SEC.

So the bottom line is that Georgia Tech – win or lose – does so with honor and integrity, while the lowlife gangbangers in Athens continue to embarrass us all.

Franklin started the whole thing. He started screaming at Shawn Williams after the game and Grantham stepped in. Of course if Shawn Williams hadn’t acted like he made a super bowl saving tackle after every hit the whole thing would have never happened.

If Franklin made any comment, Grantham should have dropped his butt on the 50.

Do you really think this is how adults in the real world operate? If that happened then Grantham would have already been relieved of his duties, and half the UGA team would be suspended for the Florida game. Not to mention that Grantham would have probably got beat up pretty good by several Vandy players. That is what you wish would have happened?

Hell yeah! I love it. I hope coach G walks across the field and smacks the sh** out of Muschamp just for being a Gator now. This team has needed some real fire in it’s belly for along time. I say get off the bus in Jville wearing camo a la Miami 1985. If Franklin doesn’t know how to take an ass whipin’ like a man then treat him like a punk. I wouldn’t want to play for Vandy next year when they come to Athens.

I love my DAWGS but there were at least 2 other hits by our guys that could have easlily been called, even the announcer on TV kept talking about the “late hits” but he was really meaning the nature of the hits, picking a guy up and body slamming him. If it had been reversed, we would all be screaming bloody murder.

Not taking up for the guy but the Vandy coach said in his press conference(read between the lines) that Vandy wasn’t putting up with the kind of crap they had been taking over the years from other teams. Don’t know exactly what that means, other than, they were going to give it as good as they got it. Weren’t going to be everyones punching bag maybe.

McGarity is a joke. He is quick to jump on an asst. coach, yet he allows the worst head coach in the SEC get a free pass with yet another pitiful performance by his team. UGA is the worst coached team in the SEC, and Richt is the problem for this. Once again this team is totally undisciplined with 11 penalties, and 3 or 4 personal foul penalties. The worst special team in the SEC, which allows another team to fake a freaking punt, miss many field goals, and allows Vandy to return a kickoff for a T.D. Not to mention the worst O.C. in the country, who has to settle for 6 field goals against Vandy for god sake. McGarity should have been in Richt’s office this morning asking this idiot head coach what he intends to do to improve the performance of his coaches. But we all know that didn’t happen. McGarity & Richt=.less than mediocre leadership. UGA will never win with these 2 clowns in charge.

@4th and 57 You are obviously an ignorant college football saying the Dawgs have been irrelevant in the sec for “quite a while” and that Ga fans need to lower their expectations. How about a Ga fan expects how ever much they want to with the approval of some idiot who just “hops on the bandwagon” with every team that is “relevant” every year (and yes I’m talking about you.)

From what I know, which isn’t everything apparently, Franklin initiated the incident and Grantham responded with controlled anger to Franklin’s aggression. In retrospect, Grantham might just as well have defended his player with less animation. HOWEVER, Grantham’s competitive emotion is just the sort of think UGA needs at this time. I am a Richt supporter–he hired Grantham– but UGA might get to where they want to go faster if they’d make Grantham Head Coach. Historically, the UGA image has been one of class even when confronted by classless opponents, and I think the image is still intact (considering the wild anger shown by the hot headed Franklin).

If your DC is suspended over that it would be the worst thing that could happen for UF.All of your D players would be on fire.So I hope he does not for that reason.If we get Brantley and Demps back we may give you a game.If not,forget it cause we can’t score right now.

To the Georgia defensive players. I hope you are proud of a coach that has your back! If you do, then play your heart out for this coach and don’t let anyone run over you. He has shown his love and affection to you guys and you need to play “lights out” for him.. Make a statement !

Coach Grantham thanks for standing up for your player. The other coach had no right to engage the Georgia player and as a matter of protocol, should have spoken with Coach Richt or Coach Grantham directly about his concerns.

The other coach started this whole thing by his actions. Coach Grantham has nothing to apologize for as he was trying to protect his players. and I for one, applaud him!

GO Dawgs!!!!!!
