Atention Greg McGarity….Keith Marshall is the # 1prospect and need for the Dawgs in this recruting class. Mr. Marshall will be making his final college decision on December 6th. Please extend CMR’s contract so Mr. Marshall knows he can commit to a coach that will be in the system for the span of his college career.

If you do not extend CMR’s (and Grantham for that matter) contract ASAP then you are hurting the recruting chances at UGA be prolonging the questions about CMR’s future at UGA.

Also, please tell Michael Adam’s to hold the jokes. He shouldnt make comments like he did in his cabinet meeting whether they are jokes or not.

SSIgator — It is obvious that the crap season you have had and UGA being in the championship is really causing you a lot of pain. You and your Gators are at home picking your noses and wishing you were playing for the championship while Georgia IS playing for it — whatever the result.

Oh well, sucks for you. Deal with it.

Right when you think you have seen it all.

Whoa Whoa Whoa hold your horses you dirty dogs. This UGA team has not proven anything yet. The ten wins in a row means nothing to me honestly, each game UGA played they were supposed to beat each and everyone of those teams and they did. This team is still largely unproven as well as the coaching. Look at the LSU game as a measuring stick to how much this team has really improved from last year. This season will be defined over the next two games because of the magnitude of UGA’s opponents. Until then please buy a Brita filter and drink some purified water instead of those awful kool-aid packets. Go Dawgs! and Wake Up UGA fans.

Can’t see Richt ever playing in a BCS Championship game, much less winning it. He’s a good man and a pretty good coach, but lacks that certain “it” that the championship level coaches have. UGA needs to see Richt win some big games like this week vs LSU or next fall vs Alabama before discussing any extention.

Despite winning ten games in a row the Dawgs still don’t have a signature win over a decent team this season. That’s not Richt’s fault but really where is the trademark win to hang a hat on this season ? Was it the terrible 5-7 Tennessee Volunteers ? Was it the worst Florida team since the merger who finished 6-6 ? Oh, I know it must have been offensively challenged 7-5 Auburn or the 8-4 ACC Tech StumbleBees. None of the other mediocre opponents the Dawgs beat are not worth mentioning. Wait a minute, I know the Dawgs will face the Mighty No.1 LSU Tigers in the SECCG. And because of politics and money the SEC has $17 million reasons to see UG hoist the SEC trophy and travel to the NOLA for the Sugar Bowl. So it won’t be an upset if UG beats LSU and the Tigers STILL play Bama for the National Championship, it will be an SEC exhibition of its complete BCS aided domination of the NCAA and College football in America in 2011-12. The system really, really sucks and a playoff is needed ASAP! When the SEC roars and flexes its muscle the other conferences, particularly the Big XII, tremble.

Getting back on point, Richt’s team played a weak schedule. They lost to the only two decent teams they faced and won ten games in a row over an assortment of cupcakes, conference frogs, and has-beens. For the 10-2 season finish Richt deserves at the most a one year extension. Let’s see how improving UG fares next season against stiffer competion before they extend him to a long term contract they may regret later. The running back situation has been unstable for the past two seasons heading into next season and that’s another reason not to over-extend Richt. In other words I’m still not convinced and refuse to drink the delusionalist’s kool-aid. Go Dawgs & L.M. rest in peace.

It really is bigger than the record over a couple of years. You have to look at recruiting quality, where the program is headed and a number of other factors.

If we can find a good line, I think we will be a top ten team. Is it the year for the NC? I don’t know, but you have to like our trajectory as a football program.

Smitty,

There may be some truth in what you say, but I wouldn’t accept that alone as a reason for a contract extension. Coach Richt’s current contract has not run out. There is no rush to change his employment status whatsoever. Times are hard. There aren’t a lot of people getting raises lately.

Bad Dawg and Mobile Dawg both make valid points. It’s exciting to be in the midst of a win streak, but that excitement shouldn’t cloud one’s judgment. People in Alabama loved Mike Shula in 2005 when he won 10 games and ended the season in the Top 10, but they fired him at the end of the 2006 season. Coaches don’t get on “hot-seats” for no good reason.

Besides, if a kid wants to play for Coach Richt, he’s not gonna check the details of Mark’s contract with the University before he decides. I’d negotiate next year, if it was my choice.

@ Not Impressed

Thanks for clarifying. I can’t speak for the scheduling as I really am not familiar with the process.

I am not the AD at Georgia either, so I suppose I am as much in the dark about the coaching future of Mark Richt as anyone who isn’t named Richt, McGarrity, or Adams. However, I do know that this profession, like all others, has attracted more than its share of people who seem to lack basic integrity. Richt seems to me to be different. I admire the man and am tired of seeing him trashed on these blogs and in the media while examples of loyalty like Petrino and Meyer are celebrated. Seems like a lot of what is wrong.

The networks will require quality to keep paying. Georgia and all SEC schools will have to play even more competitve schedules as a result of expansion. There are no free lunches.

When the likes of Saban, Miles, Myers, and Spurrier leave, they leave behind National Championships. Would you rather have 7 more 10 win seasons out of the next 11 years or would you rather have a national title?

We could do worse than CMR but with the resources UGA offers and the talent level in this state a coach with a Spurrier type attitude would win more than SEC titles. No risk no reward.

I do not think you get it. Championships are what should matter. It is wonderful that Mark Richt has that record but last time I checked UGA won a national championship in1981. As long as I have been alive UGA has not won a national championship. The number of titles you win is what measures true success. Do you want championships or consistent 9-10 win seasons? If so you should probably be a Georgia Tech fan

I can speak for scheduling and I can assure you NO conference school will be able to “lobby” to get any opponent on or off the schedule. In fact, it is just the opposite. That decsion will be made by SEC management and all parties understand there will be shared sacrifice and some unexpected expenses relative to travel and other changing logistics.

To believe otherwise is ludicrous. If it were that simple every conference member would be trying to get Ole Miss and Miss. State, KY, UT etc. on their schedule for next year, given the state of flux those programs are in and/or may be in. No conference member is or ever has been able to dictate their schedule to the conference.

Surely to goodness the person who wrote that is not stupid enough to believe it.

Some teams will also lose a home game because the conference is not going to require Texas A&M and Missouri to travel all over the south just to join the conference. Teams that lose a home date not only lose revenue they pick up added travel expense.

In the long run all of this is worth it but none of it will be free. Everyone knew going in that this would be a necessity. If we drop Alabama we drop them but you are beyond ignorant if you think any team can simply make a request like that. Its not even believable and I suspect you know it.

The schedule discussion is a red herring. Nobody in the SEC has an easy schedule. Nobody gets a free ticket to win the SECCG. You have to get by your division and several teams from the other half, and you always have to beat the other division’s champ. There is no way to sneak in to the number 1 spot in the nation’s toughest conference. Whether they play Alabama as scheduled, who knows. It doesn’t matter. If UGA is going to win the SEC, they have to beat the west champ. If Bama is great, UGA will face them if they win the East.

Again

People come on here saying Richt deserves a contract extension. No he doesnt. He has 2 yrs left on the one he has now

Richt isnt going to another UGA level school. No one has called his name, nor is he going anywhere that has the resource UGA has. Only USC, Texas, FL, Ohio St, Notre Dame, have the resources like UGA does. You would have to be a complete idiot to leave for something less

This was an easy schedule that has yet to prove how good we really are until Sat and until the bowl game

I’ll be the first to say if we keep it within 10 against LSUwin or lose and win our bowl game. Then I will say yes we are heading in the right direction and things are looking good. And if we do what we should do next year with our talent i.e win 11 games and beat FL, AGAIN. Then I will say lets give Richt an extension

But please give me a break, these last 10 games have been against lousy teams and people are demanding a contract extension. Boy lets hope we dont get beat like Arkansas did and lose our bowl game. Reality will set in.

@Mobile Dawg…Ok understand where you are coming from, I respect your comments, and I’m apologize for getting a little agitated…It was a combination of alot of comments and I shouldn’t have singled you out but you seemed to be a real dawg fan and I just felt you were being a little too negative, but as I said I understand where you are coming from…We are ok…

As far as the Crowell rumor…I don’t know, I’ve been told by a few contacts that it isn’t good…Not sure what to make of it…but to be honest unless some major attititude changes came out of a closed door meeting so to speak, I’m not sure how much more we will see of Crowell…I hate it and again don’t know any specifics, its been pretty closed knit, but I honestly think that so much was expected by everyone for IC that he just hasn’t adjusted to the environment. He is extremely talented, but at some point this coaching staff and Coach Richt will need to do what is best for UGA. This has not been the time for this to be taken our focus away from LSU…I wish all parties involved the best in whatever happens…I just hope everyone doesn’t try to pin this on our Coaching Staff, if this doesn’t turn out well…The players know the story on this one, I can assure you of that…go dawgs

So, Flat , you looked at the schedule this summer that had: Boise, SC, Miss State, Fl, Au, Tech, and you told us how our team was going to be playing a LOT better than last year and should only lose to one of those teams, and not stumble anywhere else either. THATS what you told us all?

Boise? See 2005.

People who follow football knew that Florida and Auburn would be down this year. MSU was a surprise. they should have been mediocre, but they absolutely sucked. I can’t believe that you would even mention Tech as a potential favorite over Georgia. Are you really a Georgia fan?

I’m buying a six pack and some ribs for the game Alt. My thoughts on the Dawgs this year were all over the board. Looking at the schedule I could have seen us losing as many as 7 games with last years attitude. Now I didn’t predict that. This year was a wild card, no one really knew what to expect. It’s been a success, to build upon.

What I mentioned above and you call me a negative thinker, give me a break those are facts that in the real world of business would get you fired years ago

“And I want UGA to fail”,
you must be 3rd grade reading level if thats how you comprehend what I wrote, because Im tired of watching mediocrity on the field and yet UGA ranks 4th since 1999 in putting players in the NFL and we get the results that we have gotten

Obviously you want UGA to fail with your attitude or
You must drink a gallon of Kathryn’s kyptonite kool-aid

I dont know I guess we should ask

USC when they hired Pete Carrol
FL when they Spurrier or Meyer take your pick
AL and LSU when they hired Saban
Ohio State when they hired Tressel
AUB when they hired no-name Chizik
TCU when they hired Gary Patterson
Texas when they hired Mack Brown

Those are just a few programs that made coaching changes and you see the results

I didnt say fire Richt now but if the above of what I wrote continues he’s got to go and continuing to lose to FL especially this year with another new coach give me a break.

With this years schedule anything less than 11-1 is unacceptable

yea, I am fully aware of your insistance that it was unacceptable for to win less than 11. I just said that. Didn’t I just say that? pretty safe to say a guy that says not winning NC is unacceptable, would say not winning 11 is too. I see no facts that you thought they would. In “fact’ you said they would not. That was my statement.

But just to be clear….you know , the facts…..YOU thoght the team was going to play well enough to win 11 games this year, which I beleive we can all agree would be a pretty good year, and a MAJOR turnaround from last year?

THATS what you said all summer. I just want to be sure. YOU felt that Georgia was good enough to win 11 games this year? or in fact, were you really stating they would NOT. (and be unacceptable)

UG led by Richt, has got to move the program to the next level. I remember the halcyon fall days of 1980, 1981, and 1982 when there was a reign of Red and Black Terror in College football.The Dawgs ruled and dominated the South and SEC with an Iron fist. Back then it was never a question of whether the Dawgs would win the meager SEC title. The question was who would face and try to stop Georgia in the Sugar Bowl in the national title game. Everytime during the 80-82 championship run, Larry Munson would declare,” It’s raining Sugar” ! , after the Dawgs wrapped up another SEC title. It’s been almost thirty years since UG played on a dominant, superior level. It was great to watch the Dawgs led by Herschel pound the SEC into submission, while Munson called the play by play. We will never see that kind of domination again at UG, but the current Dawgs can improve and move the program past just being happy with ten mediocre wins or just happy to make the SECCG as the underdog. UG are the underdogs this time around, but if Richt can shed the underachieving, and poor coaching labels the Dawgs can return to glory and compete for at least one National Championship before he leaves. Everyone always wants to talk about the four SECCG appearances by the Dawgs under Richt. I call these UG fans the Neo-Dawgs or fans who weren’t born yet during the Herschel Walker-UG Championship era. I think the delusional base consists of them and they have suffered through the UF domination, low expectations and sub-par coaching . The Retro-Dawgs know the true Dooley-led UG domination of UF and are not just satisfied with just making it to the Ga.Dome for the SECCG.They are starving for a national title and haven’t been fed in over 30 years. So I can see the divisions in the UG fanbase. I am pulling for Georgia on Saturday as I have for over 35 years and though I do not always agree with Richt’s methods, I wish him the best and hope he succeeds. I have been sharply critical because I am a Georgia Bulldog fan, not a delusional personal fan of any individual. Richt did what he was supposed to do and deserves the credit. Ten layups where tossed to him and not only did he make them all, he slammed a few. I can’t find any fault on his behalf for that, but I would like to see him cleanup certain problems with the offense and make the steps necessary to take UG to the next level with LSU and Alabama. Is that asking too much or am I delusional ? Go Dawgs !!

If the persistant rumors are true about I.Crowell being kicked off the team just before the biggest game of the year, UG will be a decisive underdog vs. LSU. The Dawgs won’t win this game without a major contribution from the running game. Murray will need help from the running backs to keep LSU’s defense honest. But let’s keep it real UG is lucky to get to the SECCG after losing to SCarolina early in the year.

I predicted in the spring after Ealey quit, and C.King deliberately flunked out that Richt would have his hands full with Crowell. First, Crowell was a bad fit from the very start because the small Class A high school he played for pampered him and he played in a rotation or committee of running backs. In other words as we saw he is not a every down back. He is not going to be willing to block in pass protection and will pull himself immediately once a little winded. He never had to be in good condition because the rotation made up for his playing in spots. He was the most talented back on the roster at his high school, but that was only for the aforementioned reasons. Crowell was not committed to be the best athlete because he always had people telling how good he was without working to stay good. He did not have the physical build, stamina and the mental will power to be a dependable SEC running back and Richt with all his experience should have known that. Crowell was by appearance and actions very immature and would need a tremendous amount of guidance to make it through his freshman year and Richt is just finding that out now but he should have known during Crowell’s recruitment. Crowell was a dreaded, prima donna and was never the same after his drug test came up positive and was told he would not be permitted to continue smoking the hemp. That was the same as telling a bird not to fly, a dog not to bark, or a fish not swim. Richt should have known from his previous problems he has had with running backs, with Crowell all the warnings were there that he would be more trouble. How do you stop a kid from smoking hemp, when he’s been doing it so long he can’t do without it? This was on Richt’s watch and another talented but troubled kid has washed out of the UG football program.

Richt is stuck with smallish 5′-6″ Carlton Thomas and he too is troubled and probably being kept on the team only because Richt was contemplating releasing Crowell, due to his poor attitude after he was busted. Now the delusional fans are ready to lable Crowell a lazy, sorry cancer. So tell me this kool-aid drinkers, what do you call a head coach that consistently recruits potential cancers to the program? Nothing changes the RB coaching problems at UG, but the names and faces.

This is one of the primary reasons why Richt should not be given an extended contract at UG. He has orchestrated and coached up UG to be a revolving door program for running backs and no top back’s family should allow their son to jump into a RB cesspool or trash disposal. As for Crowell, he would fit right in at FSU or Ga.Tech, who use a running back by committee concept to which he is accustomed. As for Richt, one has to ask who’s the next big-time running back he’s going to recruit to UG to build up only to wash out in his RB trash disposal/cesspool. Richt has every reason to get agitated when people ask him about the RBs and it’s his fault not the immature kids he keeps recruiting to fail at UG. Despite IC’s many problems this flame out is on Richt, because he should have seen this coming just as sure as the dreads on the kid’s head !! IC was heralded as a 5 star RB now he’s a three star transfer. All potential 5 star RBs out there enter Richt’s program at your own risk !!

The criticism that continues on this web site about Crowell really show’s how little a lot of you know about football and certainly have not played , especially at running back. This is a very violent sport especially in the SEC where defense is so important and emphasized. Crowell had one month to learn the playbook and maybe 2 month’s to work with coach T to get into playing shape for SEC action. In the past CMR red shirted nearly all the incoming Freshmen but this year his job was on the line and Georgia needed everybody that could help. After purging the team of all the trouble makers the Freshmen were just going to have to get HAND ON experience. I have always been a little critical of CMR for not using Freshmen in the past but he would rather not put that much pressure on a 17 or 18 year old kid. Have any of you gone away to college as a 17 or 18 year old Freshmen? As brave and cool as you pretend to be it is very scary and most make a lot of mistakes. You have to get yourself up to get to class, you have to pass , you have to eat right and if you play football you have to do everything required of you . Our football team su++ed last year and a lot of you expected this kid to be our savor but you forgot that he is still trying to adjust to a radical life change and fit in. It has only been since August that he got here. By now he should have toughen up a lot but he probably need’s a full year to become conditioned for the demand’s of the SEC. We don’t know what’s going on with him and CMR but instead of criticizing him support him a little and let CMR decide if he need’s to go or not. If he leaves like Ealey and a few other have then so be it. Georgia will survive. This negative BS has got to stop with Georgia fans.
I’m just glad that CMR is finally doing his job by letting every player know who is in charge. McGarity will make sure that attitude continues with Richt.
With those that keep on about Crowell not being tough enough, I want you to arrange a pick up game with some former football players with most being 280 lb. linemen and a lot of the players being at least 260 lb. linebackers that are all still in their 20’s. Then run the ball at least 20 times and after one of those truck’s runs over your butt you would be crying to mama after your 2nd or 3rd carry , then you will get a fraction of what Crowell is going through.
I keep saying it LET CMR HANDLE THIS .

“”What Dawg fans need to be talking about is why was our offense as bad as it was. We had to attempt 6 field goals and missed two of them.WHY? Georgia needs a great offensive coordinator badly. And even if Murray can run up stats. to make his numbers look good he has a real problem in scoring touchdowns and it’s not because the line doesn’t block. Murray holds onto the ball way too long before doing something with it. Murray get’s too much credit and not enough criticism for the lack of production from the offense. the offense is not getting the job done , by a long shot.”

“UGA needs to start a season as well as they end one and they could do it. Boise and SC would NOT want any of us right now!”
_________________________________________________
You have wished away the only 2 games we played all entire season long, and just prior to the 3rd game of the season, you run in here and anoint Mark Richt as the guy who always finishes the seasons, but just only needs to learn how to start a season. In 2001, he ended the season after having beat # 4 vols at the start of the season and then losing to South Carolina, with Losses to Florida Auburn and Boston College. In 2002, just when we were ranked at the top of the polls and were playing a hapless Florida team of Ron Zook who had in 2002 the worse season Florida had ever had since 1979 with what should have been 6 Losses; yet, our inept # 52 Average Total Offense of all 11 years to-date went 0-11 on 3rd Down Conversions for the game and we were OUT OF IT right at the end of the season – gone from any meaningful discussion. 2003 yes we started the season with Loss to LSU, but we ended the season in 2003 by also Losing to another Ron Zook 5-Loss Florida team followed closely thereafter by Losing to LSU 13-34 in SEC Championship Game BLOW-OUT by LSU. 2004, yes we Lost to the vols early in the season, but just when everyone was anointing David Greene as the Heisman Trophy Winner and College Football Hall of Fame member when he never even made a single All-America which is a prerequisite for BOTH, at the end of 2004 we got out by Auburn 6- 24 and eliminated right at the last moment of the season from The SEC everyone basically handed to us before the season even started. 2005, DJ Shockley had us rolling along to begin the season, unlike the QB we have Starting the last 2 years for us nowadays, and then right at the end of the season, DJ gets injured and our braintrust offensive minds bragged to us all pre-game how great Joe Tereshinski III was going to be, and had anyone other than him played QB that game we beat Florida but we not only made Joe T III the starter for that game, but we put both HIM and JOE COX ahead of Matthew Stafford for the following season, with Matthew Stafford 4TH STRING on the Depth Chart. Back to 2005, so at the end of the season just when we were running the table, we Lose to Florida, Lose to Auburn the next week, back into The SEC Championship Game blow away LSU and flop in the Sugar Bowl that never happened we went to at the Georgia Dome and sat down booing Michael Adam$ and his wife and ended up down 0-28 before we could even stop booing at the game I never attended. This is where I pretty much became aware of what we are and what we aren’t. Some of you haven’t figured that out, YET. But, then again you weren’t 3.88 with me either or at Foy Fine Arts Bldg Top 5 % with your parents and yes Dad loved taking me to The Games. Happy to tell you about it. Eat your hearts out. 2006 yes started out slowly with the blow-out Loss to the vols 33-51 early but then we LOST to 8-Loss Vandie (Was this 2010 or 2006 TampaDawg?), and ended the season with Losses to Florida and Kentucky as Mark Richt continued upon his quest for a CONSECUTIVE 6-GAME LOSING STREAK TO EVERY SEC EAST TEAM IN A ROW. 2007, of course, the 6-GAME LOSING STREAK TO EVERY SEC EAST TEAM IN ROW continued with Losses early in the season, yes, to both South Carolina a 6-6 not even in a bowl game team and then the blow-out by a sorry vols team 14-35. If this is your idea of finishing strong 2007, then all I have to ask is where are the two wins at any point during that streak EITHER over teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10 like this year either ? LSU had 2 such wins in their season and all Mark Richt is remembered for in 2007 is the 2 horrid losses to South Carolina 6-6 and to the vols 14-35. Thus we got jumped by LSU because of their 2 wins over teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10 and thus Mark Richt ended up # 2 as he should have and LSU # 1 unanimously. In fact there were some polls who did not even put us # 2 for 2007. 2008 we started out like a ball of fire. # 1 in the nation consensus every poll. Then, we gave up 29, 31 and 42 consecutive points (not defensive issue when the offense gets NOTHING) in the only 3 games we played all of 2008 Alabama in the middle of 2008 and Florida and Georgia tek at the end of 2008. 2009, well we lost all the games in 2009 early and late. Okie State with Joe Cox chronic shoulder and flu early. LSU in the middle. Blow-out by the sorry vols AGAIN 19-45, then late in the season 2009 we added in losses to Florida 17-41 and topped that with the AGAIN to sorry Kentucky at the end of the season 2009. 2010, well when you have to go back 58 years all the way to 1953 to find an UGA team who lost more games, suffice it to say we lost all the games in 2010 at 6-7 early, middle and late. This season you run in here announcing we lost the early games but always win the late games every season under Mark Richt. Good time to make that statement ? Just before we GET BLOWN-OUT by LSU to get our cruddy bowl opponent for the 11th season in a row this time the Outback Bowl against a sorry opponent who might or might not end up in the Top 25 of any poll because they Lost to a 6-6 Northwestern this year. Oh that bowl game is 1pm on a Monday by the way.

No, I would not state that Mark Richt has particularly ended his 11 seasons here well. Would you ?

I enjoy your posts as much as anyone’s. Of course, I read them all. It is my hobby. Wish we were beating the top teams and with you, remain concerned about 7 Running Backs in a row Mark Richt gave Scholarships to here with a wide receiver in charge of them for him Bryan McClendon whose Dad was a great running back when I was still there 7576Dawg and just after you were, sir. Roy Umstattd was our coach when I was there, and I met with him too. I was starting catcher in high school my junior and senior seasons and that is why I met with Roy Umstattd. I didn’t know Jim Whatley.

Isaiah Crowell has a lot of issues. Too many for me. When his own high school coach tells him that too, it might be a bit much to ask internet posters to not agree. There has been a lot of coddling going on around here all 11 years, and probably no better example of it than he. He still had a chance to make 1,000 yards if his head is right. I haven’t seen it. Would love to see him not be treated the way he is being treated so that with then some discipline he might grow up. It’s tough when you watch these kids and realize that they have got to WANT IT. I think that is coaching. I coach quite a bit, and it pretty much sums it up for me. You’ve got 1 go-round. Maybe someone will get through. I can tell you this, the way Mark Richt has treated him, it’s Mark Richt’s FAULT. There isn’t anything Mark Richt has done with him as far as Discipline that is right. His High School Coach, Carver’s Dell McGee has done more to help Isaiah Crowell at UGA than Mark Richt has. I have a lot of respect for the way Dell McGee has stepped up to help Isaiah Crowell in the last month or so. You cannot say that the 33 gone who were given Scholarships unlike you and me 7576DAWG, by Mark Richt for this 2011 season are all bad apples, Good Riddance and then not recognize that what caused them ALL is still here with the same lack of Discipline. There will be MANY MORE Isaiah Crowell recruits. If your Mission and Calling in Life is to Minister to them, then I presume you will basically search them out. 33 so far for 2011. Oh, and obviously that is the end of it. None for 2012 or ever again. Like I cannot remember 1975 1976 or 2001 through now. It is what it has always been on that front and continues unabated whether his new policy is to try to HIDE IT ALL FROM US OR NOT, which is all that is happening. I do take exception that all that, big time.

Well you can’t justify firing someone who won 10 games in a row. So Richt will stay. UGA is what it is, a good football program but not a great one, and Richt is a good coach but not a great one. If the EAST were up this year, this team would have probably finished 8-4, but since it was so weak, the Dawgs took advantage and had a good year. Richt and Co. deserve credit for not losing games they should win; that seems to be the norm in college football these days. But lets not confuse this for some dynasty in the making. The Dawgs might win the East the next couple of years, but they are not in the same vicinity as Alabama or LSU. Richt just doesn’t have the capability to build a program like a Nick Saban can. The proof is in the pudding. Richt’s a good guy, whose won a lot of games, who put’s good football teams on the field most years. If UGA is satisfied with good, then keep Richt. But if National titles is what they want, they’ll need someone else.

I have to admit that I was concerned about CMR after 0-2 start and then when we piddled around with some of the other teams …..I just didn’t think we were very good. But we got better. However, in the middle of the season I still didn’t think we would beat AU and Tech or FL for that matter. But we did. CMR has proved that he is the man. Pay him the market value for a man of his level of accomplishment.

Richt is fine but Bobo’s job as OC should be under scrutiny tomorrow. He has been OC for 5 years and his offense has yet to get it done against an elite defense. The only exception that I can think of is this year’s South Carolina game if you want to call their defense elite, but we still lost that game in part because Murray didn’t protect the ball. We are never going to win any championships if we can’t move the ball and score points against the LSUs and Bamas of the world. It doesn’t matter how great the defense is. Bobo needs to step it up tomorrow. No excuses. The O-line is in relatively good shape. Crowell is apparently back. Murray is on fire. NO EXCUSES for Bobo please.

Thanks.

This has been fun to see, but truthfully, the streak has been against unusually weak teams who we were favored to beat. I would hope McGaritywould want how the game plays out Saturday, and how we compete in our bowl game before extending Coach Richt. He does have 2 more years on his contract.

The last few times we played great, unbeaten SEC teams, we got our butts handed to us. Bama, UF, AU all had an easy time. I’m not expecting a win tomorrow, but I would like a close, hard-fought game, with a good gameplan, and good adjustments, not just from Grantham, but from Bobo/Richt, also.

If the Bulldogs fight to the very end vs LSU, that would mean more to me that all of the other ten wins combined.

At best, Mark Richt has proven himself to be an underachiever. Kirby Smart will one day go to be HC at a University and provide them with multiple national championships, while Mark Richt will grow complacent after the smoke clears, and provide a passable effort at best that includes zero national championships. That ship sailed when Stafford and Moreno left town after falling victim to our coaches poor decisions. And let’s not forget our spurning of Cam Newton. Richt and Bobo determined that he would never be a capable quarterback, and passed on him.
Of course Richt rose to the occasion with his job on the line. The talent has always been here, and he is a capable coach…when the notion takes him. Don’t let the warm fuzzies this underachiever has given us prevent us from acquiring a workaholic coach intent on continued success, and an actual challenge to Nick Saban, which Richt will never be. He’s a good man and I wish him well wherever he goes, as long as he goes.

A bunch of openings for Head Coaches. Sure Richt’s agent is putting feelers out there. Especially with Adama & McGarity both being slow and trying to ride the fence.

Also Grantham likly gone too.

McGarity scheduling Boise cost us a National Champ this year, if we were 11-1, beat LSU, we play for it all.

Sorry, but the UGA admin is one of the worst.

I hear ya mars, but the initial address was regarding Cam regarding the fact that yes, like Urban, we could have brought him in and regardless of what position he played, he may have not made it a full two years without being kicked. As for CMR, I will always remember how things were prior to his arrival (low morals, lower winning percentage and few SEC titles) with Donnan and Goff and remember that he brought this team back from true mediocrity. This will be their fourth appearance in the SEC title game with two SEC titles already won. I still believe he can get the NC to Athens and I hope you still live there to see it shine. People like you deserve to see it.

Jumped off the Richt bandwagon 3 years ago, and haven’t jumped back on. Whoopdeefreakingdoo- they went 10-2 regular season, with 3 losses. Those 3 losses came to 3 good teams, and the 10 wins to teams that were mediocre at best.

When are UGA homers going to wake up and realize that Richt is just not that great of a coach? A great man, but not a g reat coach, particularly in the SEC. Get past the overall win-loss record and truly examine the record against RANKED OPPONENTS. It’s awful! His play calling, personnel decisions, clock management- he does not have what it takes to be great in the SEC. As a UGA graduate, I am embarassed by the tolerance for mediocrity! For over $3 million, we are getting taken to the cleaners!

As long as Richt is head coach UGA we have always have a shot at being the best second tier team in the SEC.
He will never Coach competitively against Miles and Saban because he won’t keep his foot on the gas when he gets ahead….and he won’t give any effort on special teams…I knew the Dawgs were in trouble at the 2nd half interview when the on field reporter asked Richt what his game plan was and he said (We wanted to jump on em in the first half and try and hold on in the second) (paraphrase) that’s his whole philosophy and why Richt won’t fire BoBo for the ultra conservative calls in the second half…it Richt… not Bobo that’s to blame…yes we won 8 in a row but who did we really beat…a terrible eastern SEC roster Coastal Carolina and N Mex State…Les Miles beat the crap out of Ga by 2 platooning 330 lb lineman and 240 lbs backs. How doe UGA NOT have a running back (with any balls) over 170 lbs????? My God where does he recruit … Pop Warner Leagues???
And Rambo is the prime example of whats wrong with our D backs he should be a WR cause he absolutely hits like one… he RAN from tackles the 2nd half of the LSU game…
I say we get rid of Richt now and take our lumps for a year…Coaching in the SEC is a 360 day a year job..how many recruits are being lost because Richt’s heart is in the mission field..I maintain if you need a 4th for bible study he’s your man but we need an aggressive take no prisoners (cause they don’t take it easy on us) .style of coaching that puts more emphasis on heart, hustle and work ethic than speed.

@ GSO DAWG “We need to pay the man. Pay him Urban and Saban money.”

Why, he doesn’t have an Urban/Saban/Miles resume. Should we pay him because he is the longest tenured SEC coach, or because of his zero National Championships. Urban – 2/Saban -2/Miles fixing to be 2/Richt – 0. Just my two cents.

After the LSU loss we now know for certain that it was more the ease of schedule rather than team improvement that accounted for our 10 game win streak.

Certainly we saw some absolutely AWESOME DEFENSE in the first half setting an SECC Game 1st half record by holding LSU to ZERO First Downs.

But the nuclear meltdown of the second half seemed to feed on itself so badly that the question of our coaching on the Offensive side of the ball has come up again. For many of us, it never went away.

Grantham has earned his keep and more. I hope he is given a big raise and multi year contract.
Bobo’s position as OC should be changed in my opinion. Put him back with the QB or RBs and in Recruiting or better yet, unload him altogether.

I have considered Richt to be a great human being and respect him for his faith and charitable work.
But this man simply does not have the fire in the belly to be a Championship SEC caliber coach in today’s world.
We seemed to have had a Gameplan for the first half of the LSU game and then we kinda “Winged It” in the second.

I’m afraid extending Richt’s contract to a multi year deal will only continue the dismal performance we’ve had for the past three years.

Ya gotta admit the only tough teams we played this year were Boise State, SC and LSU – and we lost to all of ‘em.

The MSU game will tell us how bad we are. If we lose that game we will have made absolutely ZERO progress in three years.

But this is all just my opinion and I plan to cheer on my Dawgs against Mich State.
