Keep CTG happy! Give him a bump in pay a a couple of years on his contract. If not, we could find ourselves staring into the eyes of the ghost of Willie.

I agree that UGA should give Grantham a significant raise. If he wants to be a head coach, as the article states, he will eventually get promoted or he will leave. But UGA should be able to pay him enough to stay away from the Mississippi’s of the world like AUB did with Malzahn/Vanderbilt.

Give the guy a massive 5 to 7 year deal. Also talk with Richt and if Richt ever wants to hang it up and UGA and Grantham can reach a negotiation Grantham gets the keys to Sanford stadium. Keep him, he saved Richts job.

Chip,

As always, you’re doing a great job with your coverage of our beloved Dawgs.

Grantham will definately get rewarded in his contract negotiations as he has molded this defense into a top 5 defense in college football. He’s looking forward to being possibly the highest paid coordinator on a high profile team in the most powerful conference in FBS football, if this season plays to it’s potential.

His defense is really starting to peak now and I see them being able to hang with any offense in the country if they play smart and physical.

I believe Grantham plan is to stick around long enough to win a NC because his stock will then present him with desirable options as far as becoming a head coach at an up and coming program rather taking a position at a lower tier school. I do believe that part of his taking this job was that he has seen and did envison the type of talent that he would have to work with. Defense wins championships. Period.

Pay him after the season and he could possibly coach the best defense in the country next year with the returning talent and the Dream Team II class coming in. It could be the greatest possibility for a NC and a great foundation for the next coach.

I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid, just gin and juice.

GATA!

Since giving up 80 points in the 1st two games this year, the reality is that the Dawgs have played some pretty weak teams. While the results from the Auburn game were very encouraging, don’t we need a true benchmark like LSU in the Championship game to determine how good our defense really is?

The AD should do whatever is necessary to keep MR and TG and the rest of this current staff together. We finally have some momentum going and we don’t need to waste it all by letting our D.C. go fishing for $Greener$ pastures. Pay the man- extend the contracts of all the defensive staff- extend Richt’s contract the same length as Grantham’s. Watch the recruits flock to athens and get ready for next year. Complete all of this ASAP, especially if we give LSU all they can handle.

KyboDAWG,

Erk would have done the exact same thing with this bunch that coach Grantham has done. This guy can coach, and UGA needs to pay what ever is reasonable to keep him around as long as they can. He is making them into his own brand of Junkyard DAWG, and you can bet opponents have noted what this defense brings to the table. I will bet that the West Champ, whomever that will be, is aware of what UGA brings to the table on the defensive side as well as the offensive one.

GO DAWGS and GATA

Truth hurts that Auburn’s defense is not # 2 in The SEC but # 86 Total Defense in the nation and their Offense is the # 97 Total Offense in the nation. They have ZERO votes in the AP Poll Top 25 and ALSO are not ranked in the Coaches’ Poll Top 25. Auburn still has to lose to Alabama, while you sit there bragging how we’d beat 11 teams this season, not 1 of which ends the season in the Top 25. Not 1 win. Pass the Kool-aid.

I like Grantham too but slow down on the significant pay raise and extension. TG is already one of the highest paid coordinators, and dont forget the significant raises that Georgia was responsible when they were turned down by other DC’s before hiring Grantham. We are already respoonsible for doubling how much good DC’s make now. There are plenty of other talented DC’s that would love to make what Grantham is making and if his goal is truly to be a head coach, raising his salary as a DC isnt going to keep him here. Let’s not let emotion get in the way of reason. Grantham is a great coach, but that is exactly what we expected from him or we wouldnt have offered him so much money to begin with.

let’s put things in focus. Coach ‘TG’ PROBALBY saved a lot of the UGA coach’s JOBS. I Really think he wants to stay at UGA for another 3-5 years.

He does’t want to make a mistake like a lot of want-to-be. I think Fla’s head man “WM” may have moved too soon. To keep”TG”, and keep him happy until he see what he can do with this team is has started, it’s gone to take more money and a 3 yr extention, If Aub. “O” man “GM” is worth a million a year, so is coach “TG”.I think Coach “MR” would agree.

Entertainment central today for sure. Only one comment to expound upon, Mike Bobo called a good game against AU. More than likely that game plan won’t be nearly as effective against LSU or Alabama should they be the foe, should we get there. That’s where Bobo hasn’t matured as an OC yet, to take what a defense gives him and exploit that. Starting to feel better about the Dawgs, but, I still think Richt isn’t top shelf coaching material. The key to his success is having a “strong” AD behind him, and being surrounded by good coaches. Thing is, you could say the same thing about most head coaches. Looks like he’s going to be around a while longer, let’s enjoy some success with a “classy” head coach.

So let me get this correct. YOU think the only options availible to discuss Coach Bobo’s “playcalling” is the 1st game ………..and this past game. Nothing in between? interesting.

I’ll play along: Do I think Our line was playing nearly as well then, No. Do I think we had a couple of freshman WR that can pull off that back shoulder catch then? NO. Do I think Murray was as accurate as he is now? NO. So no, clearly we aren’t the exact same team doing the exact same thing, every single game since day 1. I should have specified that caviat.

I’ll ask you this, do you really think the team COULD have played it our nearly as well in the 1st game , had Bobo simply “called” it exactly the way he did this past week?

You are acting like the concepts and the plays are somehow all new in just this past week. That has been evolving and progressing thie entire season, but you could never allow yourself to admit that TILL it was so blattenly slapped in your face, you had to say something. So now it’s OH yea, if we “playcall” a 45-7 rout, it okie dokie with you. But only because dumb ol Bobo finally did it the way you have been saying all along.

The game plan for Auburn could have been a photo copy of what he called against UF (which you hated). The fact that other crircumstances were different outside of that seems to have eluded you.

Post #1

As Ive stated before I get tired of bloggers who come on here talking about Mark Richt hasnt done no wrong as to why he is the greatest coach we ever had.

In the first post I responded by giving Richts current record and where the program was heading.
And the response of the Fulmer issue of who would we hire because we would end up like Tenn. I gave the AL answer as an example of what programs at their level expect.

Did I say Fire Mark Richt due to that record. Nope I was just bringing up the point that I as a fan want better and are tired of fans thinking that UGA’s best is 10 win seasons only

Post #2

Again I brought the Boise game just like the 2008, 2007 season etc where this staff has shown they are good to lose 2 games they shouldnt lose each year

Did I say fire Mark Richt nope. Just tired of fans acting like a 10 win season is such a great thing

Post #3

Same thing

Before you post excerpts; how about posting everything that I was responding too

You said we finally stoped that “silly” sideline pass. You mean except the 2 big ones to Mitchell, or the 2 to Bennett? All critical to scoring that 2nd and 3rd TD.

Loved the “crossing patterns”, you say. I don;t know what games you have been watching but we have had crossing patterns galore. The only real big one I rememebr was Charles getitng that critical first down. he has done that all year long. Certainly weren’t 4 like those silly side passes.

I don’t even think oyu know what a “deep slant” is so, I won’t get too deep in that. I suspect you are confusing it with any number of thigs, all of which we have been running forever.

What else was so different about Bobo’s “playcalling” this past week?

Dude, you can dress it up all you want, but you keep crying about the fans of CMR “accepting mediocrity” and that you don’t think we should. What does that say? I can SPILL comments all over this board from you over the past few months regarding the same thing. When someone stated that sometimes a coaching change can turnout to be a negative thing, you defended making a change by pointing to Saban at Bama, or Tressel at OSU. What does that say?

Again, spin it however you want, every comment you made was about how bad you think CMR was and eluded to him being gone. But if you want, here we go again:

This one is in response to someone complaining that we should be like UF, Bama and LSU and get a new coach, saying he wants to win too, but he is old and patient. Flat Tire responds with:

Altamaha, he may have crossing patterns and slants confused. UGA does crossing patterns regularly. AJ Green used to get no YAC some games because the crossing patterns were covered heavily. This year, they have exposed some for not covering them enough. Hard slants on the other hand are a bit of a rare play call and I think it’s a play we should put in there with either Bennett or King being big and physical. Tough play to cover.

Richt still has two years on his contract. Why are all the unemployed double digit IQ types screaming to extend Preacha Man’s contract.

He has a proven track record which is atrocious.

Get some perspective. He already blew the easiest schedule in UGA’s history. Even with the run against mediocres, we aren’t even in the top ten. Even if we win the SEC championship we still have two losses so can’t get the crystal football.

Richt is a logo, a salesman, a recruiter, a CEO. He is not a coach.

UGA needs a real head ball coach.

Period dot com.

Gosh where do a I start? First, how does a guy with an 8-2 record “blow” the easiest schedule in UGA’s history? Didn’t make sense there. Second, “we” are not in the top 10, not because of CMR, but because voters.haven’t moved them up far enough yet. His track record is atrocious? Hmm, only two other coaches in the SEC I believe with at least 2 SEC titles. Make some sense will ya.

He blew the season because with the talent on the team we should be no less than undefeated going to Georgia Tech.

We are not in the top ten because we lost two games, dufus. Especially, the South Carolina loss was because of lousy coaching and a lousy game plan.

Richt’s record over the past five years, when the talent on the teams is considered, is atrocious.

So you are zero for three Tampa Dawg.

I figured that you did liked that play. I noticed you were complimenting Bobo on that about 3 weeks ago when he tried that exact same thing, but Murray threw it at Figgin’s feet. Or the time Murray missed him wide. he was pretty covered anyway. And I am certain you recognized the times this year when Figgins rolled out jusy like that but was covered and Murray had already gone to some other option. Because know you were just joking, that we never even tried it before, till the Auburn LB had a brain cramp and left it so wide open.

The Gus Malzahn thing is intriguing though. You see, Auburn was an average team prior to Cam Newton. After Cam Newton, still only a little better than average and yet they are talking about hiring their OC to be a HC. So if that’s what they want, by all means let them have it.

Nice try. I didn’t say anything about execution or blame anyone. Murray threw it low because there was a LB chasing him.Not his fault. I guess I am inadvertently blaming who ever was supposed to block that guy. Would you like to argue that we have always done that perfectly? And it’s nobodies “fault” if Figgins is covered and Murray throws it away, is it? In fact isn’t the the exact opposite of didn’t execute. That’s a good job there. My point (which I am sure you know since you are trying so hard to divert it) is that YOU are trying to pretend that Bobo somehow inexplicable never tried a play that Georgia has run for years till just now, and I am saying, wrong, wrong, wrong. We probably run that play 3 or 4 times a year, and I remember 3 already. And who know how many times it was optioned away from because of coverage.

CTG’s defense is playing well, but let’s be real. He will get a raise whether he wants it or not this year, but the truth of the matter is I’m going to use the LSU game/SECC as a benchmark because I really don’t care that we’ve won 8 in a row, soon to be nine.

You want the big money, play the best offenses in the country and shut ‘em down. As noted, he will get a raise no matter what else happens this year, if for no other reason because he’s earned given the increase in team defensive performance this year. But the keys to big money are spoiling LSU’s dream season by beating them in ATL in December.

Go Dawgs!

Admittedly, we were fortunate to be blessed with a relatively weak schedule this year. But there are a few factors I don’t hear the naysayers acknowledging.

· This was not the year to front end load our schedule with some of the toughest opponents. We were so young (particularly at WR and RB) and we had a new OL coach working with very little depth.
· We had to play those first two opponents essentially without our two proven ILBs.
· As young guys have emerged, injured players have returned, Murray has gotten in a groove, and both our entire defense and our OL have jelled … we have become a tremendously improved FB team.
· No way to prove (or disprove) this statement … but if BS and SC had been our last 2 games, as opposed to our first 2, I have no doubt that we could easily be 10 and 0 right now!

Fire Richt? Cracka Please!
