Team leaders preach accountability as Georgia loses another player to transfer
ATHENS – The hits just keep coming for the Georgia Bulldogs.
For the second time in as many days, a player informed coach Mark Richt he was unhappy with his role on the team and is seeking a transfer.
Deas
Marc Deas, a redshirt sophomore safety from Kissimmee, Fla., has decided to quit the team due to lack of playing time and is seeking a transfer, Richt said Saturday. Deas joins junior defensive lineman Derrick Lott, who made a similar decision less than 24 hours earlier.
“It was really an almost identical situation,” Richt said. “[Deas] felt like he wasn’t going to get the opportunity to get the kind of playing time he was hoping for at Georgia. I think both kids love Georgia, and we love them. They just didn’t feel it was going to happen for them during the time frame that they were here. So they decided to move on and go where they feel like they’re going to have a better chance of playing. That’s their choice to make.”
Their choices came on the heels of news earlier this week that at two of Georgia’s star defensive players – linebacker Alec Ogletree and safety Bacarri Rambo – are facing multiple-game suspension after failing a UGA-administered drug tests. Alan Ingram, Rambo’s coach at Seminole County High School, confirmed that Rambo is expected to miss four games due to marijuana use and said as many as five UGA players, includingOgletree, flunked surprise post-spring-break drug screenings arranged by the athletic association.
Richt and Georgia officials have refused to confirm or deny those and other reports, but have acknowledged they’re in the midst of “a process that has to run its course.”
Richt insisted Saturday the decisions of Lott and Deas have nothing to do with any ongoing disciplinary matters.
“There was no discipline issue, there were no problems, no academic issues,” Richt said. “They were just looking for an opportunity to play. . . . I’m telling you that straight up.”
Georgia has incurred an alarming rate of attrition in 2012. Since the Bulldogs returned from their Outback Bowl loss to Michigan State on Jan. 3, 11 players have either left the Bulldogs, been dismissed from the team or are expected to miss games due to disciplinary suspensions. In addition toOgletree and Rambo, fellow defensive starters Sanders Commings and Branden Smith are also facing suspensions. Tailback Carlton Thomas and cornerback Jordan Love each quit due to a lack of playing time and three other players were dismissed in the wake of a dorm-room theft.
All this negativity is occurring at a time when Georgia is being mentioned as a national championship contender for next season. That’s starting to grate on the Bulldogs’ players that have managed to stay in line.
“We’re going through some stuff and, as a team, we have to work together to solve those issues,” said linebacker Christian Robinson, a senior from Norcross . “We have two weeks left of spring ball and then we’ll have a break. We’ll definitely sit down as a group and lay down what our expectations are as far as holding each other accountable. We have such a great opportunity. We don’t want to throw it away. At this point it’s about grabbing whatwe’ve got left and dealing with it.”
Said senior defensive end Cornelius Washington: “There’s a whole lot of distractions. But, you know, you’ve just got to bring the guys in and tell them, ‘look, you’ve got to eliminate the outside distractions and focus in on what’s most important, which is try to get to Miami next year.’ So you’ve got to keep instilling the idea of what we’re trying to get done around here and just make sure they keep pushing.”
In the cases of Deas and Lott, it doesn’t appear that their losses will profoundly impact Georgia’s ability to compete. Deas (6-foot-1, 197 pounds) had three tackles last season playing mainly special teams. Lott (6-4, 303) appeared in five games in his career and recorded a total of 10 tackles.
But the sum total of the Bulldogs’ attrition is starting to stack up. Including past signees that failed to gain academic admission and players that have had to leave the program for any reason, Georgia is up to 30 players that could have had eligibility for the 2012 season.
“You definitely need as full of a boat as you can have,” Richt said. “You want to make sure you have enough guys out there to do all of your special teams work and everything. But that’s part of the reason we’re making sure that every guy, from the starters on offense and defense down through the scout team, are getting work [on special teams].”

I’m failing to see what the big deal is regarding the players who are leaving for “more playing time”. Love, Thomas, Daes, and Lott weren’t going to see the field in any significant way anyway. So take off guys. Who cares? And the 3 willing to steal from fellow teammates were rightfully told to take a hike as well. And with the defense we have, none of those guys were going to see lots of action either. It’s much ado about nothing. Chip has to fill a certain amount of column inches, so he drags these non-stories out ad nausem.It still won’t change the fact that the team will be 4-0 when it gets back to full strength to face the meat of the schedule.

I wish all these guys good luck and hope they find playing time at schools like Troy, N. Alabama, S. Alabama, Jax State and Georgia Tech. After all, they could be famous…GT’s first commit of 2013. But I’m sure CPJ has bigger fish to fry.

What amazes me the most is how many 3rd , 4TH and 5TH string players are a legend in their own mind. They have a real problem accepting the fact that they are not good enough to be a regular player and instead of accepting their role of getting the best ready to contend for the SEC title and possibly a national title they would rather play for some 1-AA team that want even get them a scout to their games.
If it was me the possibility of getting another SEC ring and a National Title RING would be well worth staying on the team and admitting my lesser role but very important role.

“They lack of talent on the O.L. is a total joke. Yet, Richt and his terrible coaching staff all get raises. The problem at UGA is McGarity and the athletic board for giving Richt an extention and these average coaches raises. My GOD, how do you get a raise when you have proven over and over again that when you do get kids on campus, you can’t coach them up. That is the problem at UGA, and it will never change as long as Richt is the coach. He never, ever, holds players or coaches accountable for their performance, and that is a total lack of leadership. That sums up Richt’s whole career. Sorry UGA fans, but the truth hurts, and this guy has shown his total lack of ability to manage a program”

The people complaining is just the bad fans that looking to lynching Coach Richt after the hot siting failed and he gots a new contract. Instead this here is just example of roster manegement where Coach Richt is casting outs the stinkys that turns out not to have or expose SEC talents. That way we frees schollies for new recruits and can signs new Dream Team.
That how Sabans builds team at Bammer by cutting the non-performers. You either earn your schollie by playing good football or you hit the road and don’t let door knob hit you where God Lord split you.
That way we get more open schollies for good recruits and remaining players know they have to win to keep schollies cause this aint no kiddies league. You either play well and expose talents for NFL by displaying SEC speed. Or we cut you loose as stinkys and bring in new player to replacing your sorry rear. Its is as simple as that.
The only complexing is Adams and his pointy heads but McG gots to set Adams straight.

If you were a coach, and had an easy schedule coming up. with a talented defense. Would you let the players get tested for drugs after spring break.. Other schools are not trying to catch the players with drug test. they are letting them know when a test is coming../????????????then if the player is dumb enough to fail a drug test, suspend them.. I have a feeling this is going to get worse, before the season starts. MR is going to be playing with walkons.. IT IS THE SAME OLE SHT EVERY SEASON WITH CMR.

It is good for them and good for UGa. We have 2 additional scholarships that we can offer to players who can handle competition and who don’t quit when the going gets tough. Go Dawgs!!!

Carlton Thomas led the team in yards per carry, like Ealey did, and still couldn’t get his fair share of reps.
No wonder they transferred.

Mettenberger has looked great, ever since he transferred from playing for Mark Richt, a coach, everyone knows, who plays his class favorties, instead of top performers. Mettenberger went out and led his team to the National Championship once he found a coach who rewarded performance.
Ealey ran for over 1100 yards, and over 6 yards per carry this year.
Cam Newton won the Heisman at Auburn once he transferred.
Some coaches just play favorites, that’s the label on Mark Richt.
And players continue to drop like flies.

This is no big deal. Coaches like Nick Saban forceable weed out players that don’t make the grade, which opens up more scholarships. No offense to Deas, but he’s not a SEC caliber defensive back. With Drew and Washington moving to DE, Lott saw his PT falling off the table.
Like I said, this is no big deal!

Gonna complain about the lax SEC,
but then I got high…
Now we have no depth on D, and I know why….
(Why, Dawg? Yeah-hay!)
Because they got high, because they got high, because they got high….

It’s funny how when the exact same thing happens at Bama, all of you UGA fans are quick to point the finger and accuse “Satan” of being an oversigner. You losers are the biggest hypocrites in the history of mankind. Mark Richt is running players off at an alarming rate, and all you guys do is blame the poor players??? What a joke.
Charlie Daniels was right. It looks to me like the devil has went down to Georgia, and he’s lookin for some souls to to steal.

Only an imbecile would mention UGA as a national championship contender with incompetent coaches like Richt and Bobo running the program into the ground…
They provide absolutely no leadership, no nothing…

If Mettenberger gets a chance, he will single handedly annhiliate what these days impersonates as the UGA football team.
