Hines Ward: State players needn’t go anywhere but UGA
Hines Ward laughs at one of Mike Bobo's shots during Monday's Stadion Classic Celebrity Pro-Am at UGA Golf Course. (Audrey Brees, Jackson-Spalding)
ATHENS — When it comes to preparing yourself for the NFL, there’s no better place to learn the trade than at Georgia.
At least that’s the opinion of Hines Ward, a 14-year NFL veteran, former Super Bowl MVP and UGA grad. Ward was at the UGA Golf Course on Monday to participate in the Celebrity Pro-Am for the Stadion Classic at UGA Nationwide golf tournament.
It’s just one of several trips Ward has made to visit his alma mater since announcing his retirement from professional football in March.
“I always love coming back to Athens and I always want to help the University of Georgia any way I can,” said Ward, who was playing in a group with Mike Bobo and some UGA boosters. “It’s great to play golf here, especially after Bubba [Watson] won The Masters. It’s great to be able to play with guys you played with like Mike Bobo, and it’s always nice see old faces and old coaches and alumni. We’re all Bulldog family.”
Ward, who lives in Sandy Springs, spent a week in Athens this past month shadowing his old teammate Bobo during the Bulldogs’ spring practices. He wanted to see if coaching was something he might like to get into. Ward’s presence created quite a stir among the Bulldog Nation wondering if he was looking to join the staff.
But Ward said Monday he wasn’t looking to unseat any members of the current staff. He just wanted to get an idea of what the college job was like on a daily basis.
“It’s something I’m definitely thinking about,” Ward said of coaching. “I don’t know if I’d be able to make the time commitment, not right now anyway. But it’s definitely something I’d like to do and if was going to do it I’d want to do it at the University of Georgia.”
Ward said he’s recently had some detailed talks with several television networks about a career in broadcasting, which appears to be his most likely next step.
“I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do yet,” he said. “I’ve only been out of football a few months, so there’s plenty of time to figure it out. But I have a lot of options and that’s good.”
Ward credited UGA for setting him up for success. A star quarterback at Forest Park High, he chose Georgia over Nebraska and numerous other major offers, graduated in 3 1/2 years and set several UGA records, including becoming the rushing, passing and receiving for more than 1,000 yards each.
Ward said he saw that the Bulldogs had seven players selected in the NFL draft this past weekend. That’s 64 in the Mark Richt era, which actually raises Ward’s ire.
“It drives me crazy when I see some of the best players in Georgia leave the state to go to Alabama or some other place,” Ward said. “There’s just no need in it. I remember when I was in school and Jacquez Green and some other guys went to Florida and won a bunch of games down there. Georgia has been so close for so long and is going to win a championship soon if these guys just stay at home like I did.”
Ward said Georgia has a strong reputation in pro-football circles for producing NFL ready players. The Bulldogs’ 65 draft selections under Richt are the most of any other SEC program over that time period (2001-12).
“The list goes on and on of great players from Georgia who are still producing on a high level,” Ward said. “And there are a lot of up-and-coming players like A.J. Green and [Matthew] Stafford that are the future in our league. So there’s no question Georgia produces great pro football players helps prepare them to be able to go out there and do things on the next level.”
Helping communicate that message is one of the main reasons Ward said he would consider coaching with the Bulldogs. He has learned that NCAA rules prevent him being able to help them out on his own.
“I don’t really know the ins and outs of NCAA rules, but I know just being on the practice field I was a magnet for families and kids who were out there and wanted to come up and talk to me about it,” Ward said. “But I can’t really talk with them or have a conversation with them because of the rules. I’m a living example of what they want. I grew up in a single-parent home with my mom with working three jobs, came to school here and had a productive career, graduated in 3 1/2 years and played in the NFL for 14 years for one team. But I can’t talk to them because of the rules. That’s crazy.”

UGA is a great place to get ready for the NFL. it is not a great place to come if you want to win a national championship. Kinda makes you wonder where the disconnect is. richt produces more NFL’ers than anyone else in the SEC but he cant produce the best team in the SEC.

I understand Ward’s desires, but some recruits want to win championships and the odds of that happening are drastically higher at Alabama. You can’t blame kids for wanting to play for the top teams instead of just playing it safe and staying in state.

I get where Hines is coming from. If the top recruits went to UGA, UGA would be in the position that Bama is in now which is set up for the next couple of years.
Hines is just trying to plug his University. He knows UGA is struggling keeping the best in state. I applaud him for his effort and hope it does some good.
Dawgs need to find away to add this man to the coaching staff.

Roger Goodell said it four times Thursday night during the first round of the NFL draft.
Trent Richardson at No. 3 to Cleveland.
Mark Barron at No. 7 to Tampa Bay.
Dre Kirkpatrick at No. 17 to Cincinnati.
Dont’a Hightower at No. 25 to New England.
What do they all have in common? They all played their college ball at, say it with me, Alabama.
That’s not a foreign word to the NFL commissioner. He uttered it four times during the first round of the 2011 NFL draft with Marcell Dareus, Julio Jones, James Carpenter and Mark Ingram.
Saban seems to be the master of the moment. His players are lauded as NFL-ready when they leave campus, and that’s a selling point for high school kids with wanderlust.
Even some players for whom draft night is in the distant future said the Tide’s consistent success in the NFL Draft has them seriously considering committing to Alabama.

Glad to hear a great former play like Heinz Ward talking up the Dawgs! I wish UGA would hire him for the open S&C job, and then find out where he would fit in best after he’s already on board.
As far as those who question why no Mythical Championship. Alabama has averaged signing six more players every year since Saban’s been at Alabama. That amounts to a complete extra class every four years.
Alabama, Auburn, LSU and SC have all been oversigning, while Richt and Ga don’t.
Who doubts that Richt would already have a MNC had he brought in 48 extra players over the last eight years?
SC has been on the move, and they oversign.
LSU, Alabama and Auburn have all won MNC’s, and they have all averaged signing about 30 more players over the last five years. Anybody see a pettern here………
Richt will get a National Championship, and when he does, it will be something that the entire Dawg nation can be proud of. I’m glad Richt doesn’t over sign players, and let them just run wild with no discipline like they do at SC, Auburn. and Alabama.
Richt will get it done, and he will do it the right way, with class and dignity. Go dawgs!!!

I agree with Ward.
Our Georgia kids and their parents need to first look at their home state and start exemplifying some loyalty and appreciation for the Georgia teachers, neighbors, coaches, classmates and, just as importantly, the Georgia taxpayers that funded their education for at least 12 years.
If Georgia doesn’t pursue or offer them, they can’t qualify, or they are genuinely in pursuit of a degree not offered, that’s a different story. Otherwise, perhaps the out of state school and/or state should reimburse the Georgia taxpayers in some way.
Regardless of the above, I for one consider the student and their parents selfish and ungrateful if you do not genuinely want to help your Georgia Universities to repressent us in the highest possible way, be it athletics, acedemics, or hopefully both.
I know it works both ways and many great players we have recruited out of state; however they to should look home first and with the great in-state talent we produce every year we’d be just fine without them.

Why should players in the state of Georgia stay in Georgia but it is ok for UGA’s starting QB to be from Florida and its backup to be from North Carolina? If UGA fans are going to cry every time a player leaves the state then I think UGA should make a statement by not playing any players that didn’t come from a Georgia high school.

Larry, I have to disagree with some of your post. I’m a UGA Alumnus and would love to see UGA get the best recruits. However, to say that they help out the state university before looking elsewhere would not be right. What if there is a ball player that say is a an engineering expert and to set himself up for the future wants to go to Sanford out in Ca. Can’t fault him for that. UGA has much to offer, but it would just depend on the students major.
That’s the great thing about the U.S. We still have freedom of choice!

Whether Ward comes in as a graduate assistant ,coach or recruiter of some kind it would be one of my priorities to get him on the staff as soon as last week. McGarity you need to make room for him some how. He has the energy and want that Garner lost years ago. This would be the best addition to Richt’s staff, with the exclusion of Grantham, since he started coaching at Georgia.

They won two national championship in the last three years,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said. “Nick [Saban] has done a great job in terms of recruiting and coaching these guys properly and motivating them properly.”
While some in the SEC country have questioned some of Saban’s recruiting tactics, his name is gold in NFL circles. His players are considered to have high football intelligence.
“For [Saban], it’s just tremendous recruiting and outstanding coaching,” Kiper said. “There are a lot of guys who are heavily recruited and don’t pan out. In Alabama, you don’t see many of these guys fall by the wayside. Most of these guys, Nick and his coaching staff, once they get their hands on them, they work with them. These guys turn out to be real good players.”

@ AL, As if, having 48 extra players to choose from and to build depth with would not have helped?
Did you hear about the 19 year old Alabama receiver who got his clock cleaned outside a Tuscaloosa bar at 2:10 AM? It’s against the law for a 19 Year old to drink Alcohol in Alabama. Who expects Saban to discipline him in any way at all? Saban never does!
I don’t know what team you really pull for but it’s always easy to spot a TROLL. My guess is you live to the West.
I have no idea what ”You are Disney at its best” means, but back at you, maby it fits.
NFL Network analyst Chad Reuter published his list of the top five draft prospects at each position heading into next season
April 30th, 2012
4:54 pm
Reuter’s list includes three members of Alabama’s offensive line, including right tackle D.J. Fluker (listed as the No. 2 offensive tackle prospect), center Barrett Jones and right guard Chance Warmack (listed as the No. 1 and No. 3 interior linemen, respectively).
Meanwhile, the Tide defense is represented on the list as well with Jesse Williams listed as the No. 4 defensive tackle prospect and Robert Lester as the No. 3 safety prospect. Reuter’s also predicts that junior C.J. Mosley will be the first inside linebacker taken in next year’s draft.
“Nick Saban knows how to recruit linebackers — and fully utilize their talent,” Reuter writes. “Mosley was lost at times behind big names like Upshaw and Hightower, but he is a big hitter and quick closer.”

Home of Champions, Its good that Bama is resurgent, but Georgia has many more players in the NFL, its all cyclical Georgias time will come around again , and Bama will have a down cycle.
Bamas only one year removed from finishing 4th in the SEC west. Bama backed into this years MNC.

You say Richt will never win a NC at UGA. And you know this how? Richt has been at UGA 11 years. Here is a list of coaches that coached 15 years or more before winning the big one: Bear Bryant, John Wooden, Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, Tom Osborne, Dean Smith, and others.
As for discipline, I would say the lack of suspensions at other schools indicates players getting off free. It is dealt with at UGA. Who knows how many failed drug tests occur at schools that don’t suspend for first failed test?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but UGA has only one Fulmer Cup, and scored less points than Bama did in winning it in 2008, and did not come close to Auburn’s record-setting score in 2011.
In early April, TCU has opened up a huge lead, with the SEC being represented by USC (tied for 3rd) and Arkansas and Florida (tied for 7th). Dogs have not been able to crack top ten.
And schools do not get points for former players actions. You did not name your school, but if it is plays big boy football, you can rest assured the glass house and stones applies to you.

Wes Mantooth,
Your remarks about no Saban players that are All Pro must indicate that you think
Saban is a much better coach than Richt. Because according to you he( Saban) has no players.
Also, Hines, A.G. Green and Mattew Stafford are not from Georgia. I guess you donot
think they should have stayed in their state.
To compare Alabama football and Georgia football as being equal just shows you how
dumb some fans are.

Hines Ward may be a great player, a good recruiter, and possibly a good coach (not known yet?). BUT he’s a lousy person and not a good role model. He’s gotten in to trouble with the law multiple times and has been voted the NFL’s dirtiest player on several occasions. From my point of view, UGA doesn’t need any more of that influence near their players.

While TCU has amassed an impressive point total already this year you have to give Patterson credit. He heard about drug use among the team and had the entire team tested, knowing the results would likely be damaging. He dealt with it instead of pretending it didnt exist.
TCU is a perfect example of what discipline is all about. Yes, the players made serious mistakes in judgment and you wish they would (at all schools) avoid these kinds of things but having your poblems made public is evidence of a staff that takes such matters seriously. I suspect a Gary Patterson or a Mark Richt or a Will Muschamp or a Paul Johnson-just to name a few-will take the PR hit when necessary to deal with an issue head on.
That takes a lot more courage than looking the other way.

What’s the chance of the University of Ga. putting togeather a commercial with all of the current active Dawgs playing in the NFL? I can see it now “Come to The University of Ga. boys and share in the great tradition between the hedges! Make the great state of Georgia proud to produce championship after football championship. Be a legend in your hometown, and especially in your state, come to the University of Ga.” Give each former Dawg a couple of words, and run them all togeather for a great comercial.

2. UGA is not a great game day stategy team.

While UGA has won football NCs by awarded by one or more groups in 1927, 1946, 1966, and 1968, I think the only two legitimate ones were 1980 and 1942. In 1942 six different groups felt UGA was NC.
As far as the above post, I find it interesting that the posters on here referencing 1980 are invariably those who are anti-UGA.
If you want to talk about a great all round sports program, let’s look at the UGA record- almost 40 NCs in multiple sports, backed up by almost 140 SEC titles in multiple sports. Another Bulldog point of pride.

What many here are not realizing about Georgia athletes, is that their families are not from here, did not grow up here, and have no ties to Georgia or the South for that matter, therefore they do not have ties to UGA, or some love affair with the Herschel Walker years. The explosion of growth in Georgia came from families looking for work and opportunity from all over the country, that is why UGA continues to lose top in state prospects to other schools. Elite highschool players are not “loyal”. They are mercenaries trying to make it into the NFL. Right now the hot school for having the best opportunity to getting there is playing for Nick Saban at Alabama. A few years ago, it was Pete Carroll at USC and before that it actually was Mark Richt at UGA. I will say this though, I find it troubling that a man 10 years Richt’s senior (Saban) out works, out recruits, and out coaches Richt. These are facts, not opinions either and I don’t believe anyone would dispute this. I’m admittedly biased and a Tide fan, but like Richt and pull for the Dawgs. I actually believe at this point that your defensive coordinator is actually more valuable to the UGA program than Richt. That’s not a shot either. Sorry for being long winded….

Let me start by saying that I think Hines Ward is the best all around receiver to ever play in the NFL. Great hands, great blocker and totally fearless.
That said, he looks like an idiot when he spouts off about how the Georgia kids should stay in-state to help UGA win a NC, then goes into how great Stafford (Texas) and Green (SC) are doing in the pros as a selling point. Can’t have it both ways. If you want a team of all Georgia boys, then quit recruiting outside state lines.

and cant win a big game since 2005
and has never beat every SEC east team in the same year; yet Spurrier did it at SC
and has never sniffed a chance to even play in the national championship

I think the point to take away from this discussion is that UGA sends a lot of guys to the NFL, but doesn’t seem to win any significant Championships with them in Athens. Alabama has won a couple of NC’s lately and sends a significant number to the Big League too. All the “Bama oversigns”, “Bama cheats”, and “Saban’s headed to the Cowboys” is just jealous denial peeking through. I think Richt is a good man; what he has not been able to do, however, is assemble a national-caliber staff. There is a big difference in getting the best “raw material” (recruits) and the “finished product” (Championships). The current staff at UGA is lacking in that regard.

I like Hines Ward but this he say is just to wishy washy. Players in state shouldn’t just consider coming to Dawgs. They must play for Dawgs even if they walking on. We own the state and players and even goning to talk to that no good Saban is traitoring on state. Players got to stay home for Dawgs cause we gets the talents that goes NFL paydays. And we provides them with ladies they want in Athens. Then Coach Richt and staff teach them Christians which helps to win and disciplines for NFL. But the players with SEC speed got to stay home and tell that low life Saban to shove it.

Hines is doing a solid job or marketing the program, which is what ex-players should be doing. However, the reason that top-tier players join other programs is based on the fact that there are so many other SEC programs within a short driving distance, which just increases the level of recruiting competition.
Keep in mind that top-tier players are always concerned how long a coach is going to remain in that position if they choose that school, and CMR is on the bubble. Bottom line is 9-3 or 8-4 will most likely get him fired this year, which gives uncertainty to incoming freshmen.
Saban, Spurrier, Muschamp, Fischer and Cheese Nip are not going anywhere soon, so recruits are taking that into account.

Some of the players that it takes to win at UGA become stupid, drinkers (or smokers), near criminal and sexual deviants…or their egos are so bloated that they jump into the draft too soon.. In the programs and cities of other SEC Teams, their officials and local authorities don’t seem to catch them in the act…Hmmm?
lol
Those are college states with not many major cities, Pro teams, or transplants..as GA.
If you have a Nick Saban screaming at you…Maybe that makes a difference too..
Despite all of that…UGA = best pro, and it is proven…, but that fact is hurting them…like it’s hurt Tech – basketball players leaving dominant teams before they could win The NCAA Basketball Championship.
Next season..UGA will produce another crop of NFL prospects..

I agree DawginLex. I haven’t taken the drastic measure of going to the Tech blog, although GTBob and I did find common ground on recruiting eigth graders yesterday!
For what it’s worth I am with you about next year. If UGA doesn’t win the SEC, or sneak into the MNC w/o winning the conference, then I am open to wholesale changes in the football program. I don’t say that lightly because I believe there are a lot of good people on staff over in Athens. But if you are part of a conference and the conference has a championship, then the goal of the program should be to try and win it every year. And that goal shouldn’t be a hollow goal, it should be attainable @ UGA. I got my tickets on the way and I will be in Section 120 cheering when the season starts! Let’s hope it’s one to remember!

Contrary to popular belief, Saban is not “stealing” all of Georgia’s top recruits. He only signs a few each year. There is more than enough talent left in Georgia to win NC’s. If the state of Alabama had the same population (and, accordingly, top recruits) as the state of Georgia, Saban would win three NC’s every 5 years until he retired.
Bottomline: UGA’s problems have nothing to do with BAMA and Saban.

You know many times the kid is the reason and doesn’t choose UGA are shows interest when they inquire. UGA like any school will target certain kids they feel they need. I’ve banged my head wondering why Richt and co let some kids slip or dropped the ball on some others but, many of these kids want to go to which ever program is winning at the moment. Bama and Saban have been a hot item for recruits for that reason but, it’s cyclical , ebb and flow. Just a few short years ago it was all the East, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and will be again.

@ philSC – unlike SCU, UGA has won the SEC before and it could happen again. Only time will tell what happens if and when UGA plays in the SECCG. The last time UGA won the SEC they were soundly defeated by LSU the year before and the next year the shoe was on the other foot. However, that wasn’t the point of my post. All I simply said was that if it doesn’t happen I am open to changes @ UGA. With the facilities, money, and recruits in the state of Georgia, UGA fans should be able to expect to contend for and win (some)SEC titles on a regular basis.

Why do you think it isn’t possible to be both a fine man and a great coach? When Richt is winning, that is exactly what he is, when he is losing he is a lousy coach just like every other losing coach.

This running off to FL, AL an SC is for losers not for the good players that play with SEC speed and talents in GA. We got to use ownership of state to make them pay for goning elseswhere. If some recruits pick other than Dawgs they need to parents job looking.
Can’t we do something like have Coach Richt mail out autographs pictures of Hines Ward and Herschel to lock recruits down to Dawgs. Then we can show recruits what it like to win Heisman or Superbowl MPV. Plus we can send recruits list of known contract money of Dawgs in NFL. That be getting the recruits attention but then show them the partys and ladies in Athens to take cares of them while they getting ready for drafts. And Coach Richt can show parents how he develops them by learning the book. That would be the things that we be doing to keep players from being tricked into playing for rotten Sabans or Judas Muschump or any them other choking bums.

CMR lets all the great Ga high school player go to Al, Au, Fl etc.. Uga will always get the 5 ft 3in 4 star recruit that no one wants to take a chance on in the sec..All the big physical OL and DL go to other colleges.Its starts in the trenches>I would rather have 3 or 4 5 star OL or DL than a 5 star RB with no OL or DL.. CMR had no clue.

Hey Fla Dawg. So you want a championship but tell everyone reading (including recruits) to not go to UGA because they can’t win one. What’s your disconnect?

And UGAb. The style just said that CMR puts more players in the pros than anyone else. And most of those are DEs and DTs and OL. What are you talking about?
