Georgia’s tackles feel they gained valuable experience against South Carolina’s ends

ATHENS – The performance of Georgia’s offensive line – and its tackles in particular — against South Carolina this past weekend was one the Bulldogs would just as soon forget. In fact, that seems to be one of their primary goals this week.

“That game’s over,” freshman tackle John Theus said. “We looked at the film and we learned from it and we’re ready to go on to the next game. We’ve all moved on. We’re preparing for Kentucky now.”

On paper, it doesn’t look as bad as it was. Officially the Gamecocks were credited with two quarterback sacks and two quarterback hurries. But anybody who watched this past Saturday’s 35-7 domination of Georgia knows defensive ends Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor had a much more profound effect on quarterback Aaron Murray and the Bulldogs’ offense.

Murray had career lows with 35 percent completion rate on 11-of-31 passing for 109 yards. The Gamecocks were credited with 10 pass break-ups, several of them occurring nanoseconds after the ball left Murray’s hands.

The end result was the Bulldogs were held to 41 points below their scoring average and 312 yards below their yards per game.

“It’s just one of those games you have to throw it in a bag and move on and focus on our next opponent, which is Kentucky,” junior left tackle Kenarious Gates said. “That’s what we’re doing. We’re working on Kentucky now. We’re not worried about South Carolina. It’s in the past. We can’t do anything about it.”

Gates had the toughest assignment of anybody on the team as he played the entire night head up against the 6-foot-6, 256-pound Clowney. Occasionally Gates would get some help from a chipping running back or fullback. But essentially it was the first-year starting tackle against one of the best pass-rushers in college football all night.

“It was a great experience,” Gates insisted. “He’s a great player. You’re going against one of the best D-ends in the SEC. You’ve to got to give him credit. He’s strong, quick off the line. He opened my eyes to what I need to do to get better and the things I need to work on. We gave each other good competition out there.”

The question now is whether Georgia’s overall confidence on offense has been shaken to the core.

“No,” Gates said. “We still have high confidence in our team. We still have our goals moving forward. We’re still trying to do what we’ve been doing all season, which is to win and be one of the best offenses in the nation”

As bad as Saturday was, the Bulldogs remain second in the SEC in points scored (41.3 per game), third in total yardage (484 ypg) and their nine quarterback sacks allowed are fourth-fewest in the league.

“I think we’ll be fine,” Murray said. “I think we’re still confident with who we have, with the play-calloing, with everything that’s going on. We just didn’t execute when the time came. When plays were there to be made we just didn’t hit on them. . . . But I don’t think we’re shaken up at all. We’re going to come out very confident in our next game and be ready to go.”

Murray feeling better

Murray said he was being sincere when he said Saturday night and Sunday morning were “the worst 12 hours of his life.” Between the Bulldogs’ dismal performance against South Carolina, Murray’s house getting vandalized and finding out Sunday morning that his father had cancer and needed surgery immediately, “My head was about to explode at that point,” Murray said Wednesday.

But he was feeling much better after returning to practice this week. “Things are on the rise,” Murray said.

First and foremost, the prognosis for Denny Murray, who has thyroid cancer, is very good. “It’s a very treatable cancer,” Murray said. “They removed the thyroid completely and now he has to wait a few weeks and get a scan to make sure it didn’t spread. So hopefully we got it early enough and it didn’t spread and it’s gone.”

In some ways, Murray said having to deal with his father’s illness helped him deal with Saturday’s loss and all that has happened since, including getting a speeding ticket in Gainesville, Fla., on his drive back Monday.

“I was being a little baby, then my parents came in and told me about what was going on,” Murray said. “I didn’t even think of football after that. I didn’t think about the game. Nothing. It really does put everything in perspective about what’s most important in your life, who’s most important in your life and putting those things first.”

Said Georgia coach Mark Richt: “There’s never a good time to find out about your father having something like that. But it does help get everything else that happened in perspective. Those things don’t seem as bad.”

Practice update

The Bulldogs practiced for more than two hours in what coaches and players described as a “competition day.” There was a lot of contact and fundamental work and the day ended with the offense and defense scrimmaging.

“We had a good day; we had a fun day; we competed,” Richt said. “We treated it like a spring practice. We had a lot of things to work on and, since we weren’t going to compete Saturday, we decided to go out and compete with a scrimmage today. And we had some great competition.”

They said it

“First of all, I say we have the best fans in America. They do foolish things sometimes, usually in the first few hours after a ballgame. That’s just normal emotions. . . . Every once in a while a fan will do something foolish. But that doesn’t mean all fans are foolish.”

– Richt on fan behavior

Etc. . .

All-America outside linebacker Jarvis Jones was held out of practice for the second day in a row with a sprained ankle. Thursday is the last day of practice and it will be in shorts and helmets. . . . Richt said junior defensive end Garrison Smith has played exceptionally well in a backup role and will see his repetitions increase in the second half of the season.

I’m SURE they will come out confident in their next game afterall the level of competition will drop 10 fold from SC. This Dawg fan is torn. Will we improve greatly and run the table or do we fold again. I hope we win out and show improvement but my gut tells me we will fold again. I can’t help but think that if we lose to Florida and possibly drop another game, don’t know who that could be, that CMR is out the door.
With the talent base in this state I truly believe most coaches could match CMR’s overall record with out a lot of stress doing so. But with all our resources are we content with a 10-2, 9-3 record every year and saying next year will be the year again? We are now what the Bear used to say about UF. If they ever get their act together they will be unbeatable…or something along those line. As for my dawgs, we seem to be the nations most dangerous 32 yr old sleeping giant and he’s getting older by the minute. I hope things change cause there’s too much potential at UGA to be wasted…..

There is no way we can get all the positive national recognition that South Carolina is getting until Georgia can blowout a highly rated opponent on national TV. Carolina deserves all the credit it gets for exposing overrated UGA on national TV. If the ‘Cocks romp over ranked LSU in Death Valley there will be voices among the talking heads and media who will want to rank them number one even if ‘Bama routs MiZZou. While all that is going Georgia is at Kentucky playing BOBO-ball & Richtball in a boring snoozer game. Richt isn’t stressing execution from UGA instead he’s stressing that the Dogs dream big and pray SCarolina loses to LSU and UF and UGA beats UF in Jax. DREAM ON !!! It’s not going to happen this time. You can’t keep losing what rare big games you play and keep counting on other teams to do your job. Richt is mediocre for even implying the same losing strategy which got him to the SECCG last season only to be blown out. UGA does not deserve to play in the SECCG after the Columbia debacle. They would only get mauled worse by Bama. Saban holds the score down against most of his opponents, but with Ga. recruits at stake, he would pour it on Richt & UGA. Be patient Dogdom we are approaching the final days of 90’sFSU-ACC mediocrity in Athens !!

Tide is Rolling, I would bet that if Richt and Saban swapped jobs for a year that Saban’s boys at UGA would best Richt’s boys at Bama. I’m really tired of Richt not taking responsibility for his job performance. These consistent blowout losses to ranked teams is not a team loss, it’s Richt’s responsibility period. One he refuses to accept. Like I said in a post earlier this week, I could easily accept us losing out this year if it meant Richt leaving. That post was seconded by a season ticket holder.

Will, I think it’s a combination of heart and competence. I don’t think Richt has evolved to the level we need to compete with Saban, Spurrier, Miles, Mullen, Petrino, Peterson, etc. He doesn’t have the work ethic to match the desire it takes to “consistently” win at this level. He’s also not surrounded himself by people that can compensate for his weaknesses. Further, somehow he’s taken the fire Grantham brought and put it out.

Flat, you are an intelligent person. I have posted repeatedly that same theory. Some people would be well versed to read a good book on what motivation is, where it comes from, and how you help create the environment that promotes positive motivation. People, that being players and coaches will generally perform to the level of those that surround them. You take a low performer and put them in an environment of high performers and the low performer will improve, conversely you bring high quality people into an environment without expectations and they will come down to the level around them.

This is why I say Richt won with Donnans recruits, when those guys were gone the positive influence disappeared with them. Over the years Richt, his coaches, and his recruits lowered the expectations and changed the culture at UGA. This is where we are, it’s going to take a fresh, tough approach to even compete for a championship. It’s disheartening to me to see so clearly what some can’t see at all.

I didn’t really understand Georgia’s protection schemes against SC. Gates would fall down at Clowney’s feet. Clowney would jump over Gates and then run unimpeded to Murray. I guess they thought Clowney would be laughing too hard and not be able to sack/hit/rush Murray.

Richt has proven he can’t beat them. Don’t give me that look what he has done since he has been here. Don’t give me look what we were before he got here. Saban,Miles wasn’t around when he won. Spurrier was at florida and well enough said. Yea we might not hire someone as good as Richt but we could luck up and hire someone who could make Saban and Miles lossers!!!

And as far as motivation and CMR: It does not exist unless the players can motivate themselves. CMR is the Dalai Lama of college football. He truly does not care about winning or losing football games. If you don’t believe me, just look at his demeanor during games and at post game press conferences. Proof is in the pudding.

Sorry guys but I love Georgia football, but the Richt belongs in the ACC. I’m a Bulldog trapped in Tallahassee, FL for over 20 years and I have been watching Richtball most of that time especially when he was at FSU. Bowden had very talented teams at FSU, when Richt was his OC. Legend here has it that many times Bowden would have to put the boot to Richt to apply the coup dais gra or deathblow to opponents. In order to avoid cursing in his frustrations, Bowden coined the good ole boy term “DAGGUMMIT” and DAGGUM ! Richt heard more that his share of that term from Bowden. When Richt got the UGA job Bowden immediately questioned Richt’s intensity and went vocal with his fear that Richt lacked the killer instinct he would need to survive the SEC. Vince Dooley rushed and made a hasty decision in hiring Richt and it has taken Georgia fans 12 years to acknowledge the real Mark Richt. Richt is a good, christian man, but you don’t take a minister to a bar fight against Saban, Miles, or Spurrier.Vintage Rev. Billy Graham has no chance in mortal combat against vintage Chuck Norris, Mike Tyson, or Clint Eastwood. But none of those characters could preach like Rev.Graham either. The point is that football is the religion of Spurrier, Saban, and Miles. Sadly for Georgia the same can’t be said for Mark Richt.

Ok DAWG fans, let’s move on.

Let’s start blogging about how to fix this stuff and try and help the team win. Let’s use blogs for brainstorming SOLUTIONS.

I’ll throw out a few ideas:
1- Move some new guys in at Def end to try and get some pressure on the QB, maybe a Ray Drew, or some of the guys that have been No. 2 or No 3 on the depth chart, let’s get them in and give them some chances.
2- Let Murray run against great def ends or lb’s to slow them down.
3- Let’s go with 2 tight end sets in the future against a dominate DE or OLB. Lynch and Rome can help, a lot.
4- Don’t be afraid to go with Malcome or Samuel for pass protection, if the 2 young guns are not getting it done. Got to give murray more time to throw, and receivewrs time to get off the jam.
5- Jarvis needs to change up his approaches, swim move, inside spin, jump players cutting him, drive rush, and outside in, keep QB’s guessing which move he’ll make, take notes from Clowney.
6- We need a dangerous player on the other side, to punish teams who double Jones, maybe try to get Jordan Jenkins on the other side, I think he’s looked great.
7- Move to the 4-3 if the 3-4 isn’t working, and try some different groupings in there like Garrison Smith, Mike Thornton, Geathers, etc. Jenkins–CWash–Abry Jones, have been ineffective all season.
8- If Murray is only completing 35% after 1 or 2 quarters, let Hutson get a few series. Qb needs more competition at the position, and no reason to stay with Murray in some games, Murray seems to just completely be off his game, especially in big games. Don’t stay with him too long if that happens.
9- Take some chances on punt return, fair catching every time is too conservative. Find a player that protects the ball, yet can break one. Branden Smith? Malcolm Mitchell? Swann?
10- Change the offensive identity, don’t be afraid to line up with 2 tight ends and a full back and a running back and run the ball. Don’t be afraid to let Murray run especially if he’s getting a lot of heat. Trust murray to make plays with his legs and to protect the ball, and his health. Yes, he may fumble, better than losing 35-7. Yes, he may get injured, we got Mason, we’re ok there.

Stop the whining fans, let’s hear how to fix this team BEFORE THE FLORIDA game.

Hopefully when Kenarious Gates “opened my eyes to what I need to do to get better and the things I need to work on” he learned to get in his coaches’ faces to give him some help when he is completely helpless against a superior athlete.

The kid obviously was doing all he could – which is all you can ask of him.

But what in the world was the coaching staff thinking in leaving Gates all alone against Clowney when Ray Charles could see he was completely helpless against him? Does anybody know the answer to that question? Have any sports reporters even asked the question?

2nd most pathetic article of the year about the Dawgs by the AJC…the first being the “these Dawgs are special” article by Mark Bradley. Richt hasn’t done anything but waste talent, lose against ranked teams, and steal $$$ from the athletic department since the loss to WVU in 2005. It’s time for these “coaches” to move on from Athens. I’m sure Liberty University would love to have them – hell, they might even chip in for part of the buyout.

nhgamecock – all Gurshall did was occasionally chip Clowney on their way out on a pass pattern, and when they did it was totally ineffective as well.

There are actually football coaches out there who would notice – hey, our tackle is getting abused by the other team’s DE, and he’s destroying our offense – and make an effective adjustment. But evidently none of them work for UGA. Hell, there are probably some coaches out there who would have anticipated that since Clowney is pretty awesome, we need a plan to contain that guy in case Gates can’t handle him. But again, no such coach seems to work for UGA.

Mark Richt is the right man. His teams have been in final national top 10, out of the last 25 years, something like 20 times. He’s got 2 different teams, and coaching staffs to a final top 3 national finish at UGA. He’s won a better percentage than Saban or Spurrier.

Let’s get behind the team, move on, start focusing on how to help this team.

Defensive guys to start playing at Defensive end:
6 foot-7 inches Morant
6-5 fOLOUGHI
6-6 Stripling (one of my favorites)
6-8 Ricky Lowe (amazing play on G-Day)
6-5 Ray Drew (another favorite)

Other outside linebackers to compliment Jarvis:
6-5 Clemons
6-3 Jordan Jenkins

Mobile – I’ve watched the steady stumble to the middle tier of the conference since 2005. When a ranked opponent appears on the schedule, I put my $ against Richt because I’ve wasted plenty of my $ supporting this staff. Those 10 wins last year were a joke, but not as much of a joke as that contract extension. Now I am just hoping McGarity doesn’t do something stupid like try to hire Dan Mullen.

And to the cock guy – the truth doesn’t hurt at all – the Dawgs have been a sure win on any ranked team’s schedule since 2006, which is why I find it comical that a) SC fans are so proud, and b) there are still Disney Dawgs that believe in Richt.

Spurrier’s SPUER SIMPLE offensive plan to beat UGA:
1- QB Key off Jarvis on pass plays
If Jarvis takes too wide an angle, QB runs inside for 10 yards and out of bounds to avoid hits.
If Jarvis is slowed down, find Marcus and dump the pass to him
2- Key on John Jenkins if run play
If Jenkins goes after Marcus, fake handoff and QB run
If Jenkins gets blocked pretty well, hand the ball to Marcus because you have a 5 on 3 situation on the line.
3- Count # in the box
If 8 in the box to stop the run, go deep
If 7 or les sin the box, run the ball

Richt won’t even hire a special teams coach. Meanwhile, we already have a punt returned for a TD against us, and our PAT’s are shaky at best.

A special teams coach won’t do anything for PATs unless said coach is a former soccer-style place kicker.

The Dawgs have been somewhat lucky until this year, because Morgan is struggling big time.

The Truth, you’re propbabaly correct about the PAT’s but a ST coach may help with our return and coverage. Think about it, we have to put Rhett McGowan out there to return a punt because no one even has a clue how to field a punt properly. SC has a special teams coach, and they’ve already taken two punts to the house this year. That makes two years in a row that SC has scored on UGA in special teams.

Difference in St. Richt and others is the classic problem that happens once you reach a certain level of success in any facet of life. Example such as sales, you aren’t as hungry anymore. It’s hard to go back to that feeling when you didn’t have a dime and you went out and grinded everyday to prove yourself with limited resources and did everything you could to just get that shot. You have to go back and resharpen your ax.

These other coaches have something to prove. Theyare hungry, motivated, and inspired and it trickles down to the entire team. They work hard with limited talent to achieve unexpected and surprising results.

Most of the smarter posters have already pointed this out ( Flattire, MobileDawg, etc.), to win championships the head coach has to be obsessed. Richt is not obsessed with winning championships. For the great coaches football is their #1 calling in life. Sure they have other interests, but football is #1. It comes natural to them. All they think about is football. They pore over the details, they preach fundamentals, they learn from their mistakes. They’re never satisfied. They sweat the small details. Football is not Richts #1 calling. His #1 calling is to walk in the Lord’s path to the best of his ability. Football is just his job (That is why McGarrity had to tell him to put some of these other things down so he could concentrate on football). Richt’s philosophy is to live the Word and everything else will fall into place. He’s a big picture guy. He is not a details guy. In all of his years of coaching he still can’t make simple in-game adjustments. His teams lack the focus and attention to detail that championship teams have. Also, he really doesn’t have the fire for football the great ones have and the team picks up on that. I think he has recognized this about himself. That is why he hired Grantham, but he has neutered Grantham. A strength of Richt is that he is steadfast. So I don’t expect the Dawgs to crumble. They will beat everybody on the remaining schedule, but UF. However, I don’t see them winning in JAX. Even if the team is better prepared than they were in Columbia, it will come down to the little things and UF will win. Richt is a good man, but he has no business being a head coach. He should realize this and resign.

Anyway Wreckmaniac wouldn’t it be fun if Duke made it to the ACCCG?! I would enjoy that more than that rainy night I went to Doak Campbell stadium and witnessed Wake Forest destroy FSU 30-0 !

The “we got whipped” well duh! C’mon coach, the whole world saw that part. It is just par for the course for Richt. Walk into the biggest game of the year thus far unprepared uninspired players with a notebook of every play in every order regardless of what the opposing team is doing. We have seen it so many times before. Sometimes it even works on the lesser teams (sometimes it doesn’t too)

It is because they know it starts up front. We have been out-recruited AND out-coached up front. We just could not tell due to beating up on the patsies.

But I honestly can’t think of one single time ol’ CMR out coached someone.

Your offensive center is 5′10″ 270 and played at a private school. You’re right tackle is over-rated, slow as molasses and played at a private school, and your right guard, No. 64, put forth the weakest effort that I have ever witnessed in a college football game. Rather than move Chris Burnette to center (mercifully) Mike Thornton to right guard (at least for this year). Mark Beard to left Tackle, Kenarious Gates to left guard (mercifully) and Xzavier Ward to right tackle (mercifully), Richt will stand pat and lose to Florida and face Purdue in the Outback. Claude Felton will rave about the 10-2 season, and once again, you walking Zombies will buy into it. 32 friggin, hilarious years.

He’s like Kruger from play now on sienfeld…” Im not too worried about it”. Mr McGarity – PLEASE, PLEASE fire this clown today. And if not today do it the day after we get killed again in Jax.

The most obvious lesson is the inability of our offensive coordinator to adjust his game to the situation. Why did we continue to attempt to block Clowney on Murray’s blind side with a guy who could not handle him? He needed help. But instead we have the running back run right past Clowney on his way out of the backfield. And before the RB can turn around to catch a pass, Murray is running for his life. Why does BOBO have to send 5 receivers out when we can’t provide protection for the QB? We should go with max protection for Murray, and send 3 receivers out. If Murray has time, he can hurt defenses. But like 99% of QB’s, he does not do well when pressured from his blind side.

All you doom and gloomers, read this from LBH. Not that bad after all.
“Georgia got our rear ends kicked on Saturday night. I get that, and am as grumpy about it as the next guy. But enough already with the woe is me.

Mark Richt has the best overall and SEC records in school history. He is 8-4 against Tennessee, 3-1 against Alabama, 7-5 against South Carolina, 7-4 against Auburn, and 10-1 against Tech. 7-4 in bowl games. This year’s team is 5-1, ranked 14th, and is likely to win at least 10 games. If we can repeat last year’s victory over Florida in Jacksonville and get our third win in five years there, there’s a good chance Georgia returns to Atlanta to play for the SEC championship. The only thing Richt hasn’t done is win a national championship.

It took Dooley 17 years to win one. It took Bear Bryant 17 years to win his first. It took Bobby Bowden 27 years and Mack Brown 22 years. Nick Saban took 10 years, and it was 13 before he had an undefeated season. A national championship is not easy to get, and is not the right measurement anyway. After all, Larry Coker and Gene Chizik have both held the crystal football high, but I’m guessing most of us wouldn’t be too excited about hiring either of those guys to come to Athens. I know that fan is short for fanatic, but try to keep calm and carry on.

Be glad that the bar has been raised at Georgia to the point that ten or eleven wins just about every year is no longer considered good enough. And then remember who put that bar there, and be glad you have him.”
What do you think?

I Barack Obama, too have an issue with having that needed Killer instinct but this post from Top Dawg has just inspired me, take a look:

Sorry guys but I love Georgia football, but the Richt belongs in the ACC. I’m a Bulldog trapped in Tallahassee, FL for over 20 years and I have been watching Richtball most of that time especially when he was at FSU. Bowden had very talented teams at FSU, when Richt was his OC. Legend here has it that many times Bowden would have to put the boot to Richt to apply the coup dais gra or deathblow to opponents. In order to avoid cursing in his frustrations, Bowden coined the good ole boy term “DAGGUMMIT” and DAGGUM ! Richt heard more that his share of that term from Bowden. When Richt got the UGA job Bowden immediately questioned Richt’s intensity and went vocal with his fear that Richt lacked the killer instinct he would need to survive the SEC. Vince Dooley rushed and made a hasty decision in hiring Richt and it has taken Georgia fans 12 years to acknowledge the real Mark Richt. Richt is a good, christian man, but you don’t take a minister to a bar fight against Saban, Miles, or Spurrier.Vintage Rev. Billy Graham has no chance in mortal combat against vintage Chuck Norris, Mike Tyson, or Clint Eastwood. But none of those characters could preach like Rev.Graham either. The point is that football is the religion of Spurrier, Saban, and Miles. Sadly for Georgia the same can’t be said for Mark Richt.

Richt will be desperate when he play the Gators this year. Mark my words, he will pull out some “bush league” ploy to”inspire” the team that he can’t coach to victory.

I would strongly suggest he rethink that, this is the most physical group of Gators he has ever met.
If he makes Mushamp mad, be assure the Gators will save all their time outs and in the 4th quarter Muschamp will run over the dawgs just like they did over LSU. The Gators got a taste of Tiger blood and can’t wait for some dawg meat. This will make the 2009 look like a mercy killing.

I hope old Mark has noticed the Gators have not been scored on in the 4 th quarter and only give up 13 points in the entire 2nd half. They are the real deal.

This has got to be the biggest group of dumb bloggers I have ever seen. You are talking baout richt padding his percentage with cupcakes look at who you call the great and holy god sabans playing this year . If Van gorder was so great why is the auburn team he is coaching the defense getting beat down right now what are they 1-4 and got beat by arkansas. You people need to get a life and if you just going to whine about losing one game. Always screaming 32 years nobody in this blog could coach there way out of a daycare center but you have all the right anwsers. Please get a life where were you before Mark richt got here sometimes you were not even the 3rd best team in the sec east. Screaming get kirby smart everybody knows thats sabans defense and kirby is a great defensive assistant. Kirby does not have sole control of that defense. If not mark richt than who…… Somebody from a lower conference. This is big boy football the freaking SEC!!!!!!!!! Quit crying like a bunch of babies because of one game……

Mobile Dawg it is quite funny how many people (including UF fans) were 2nd guessing our AD for hiring Champ. Muschamp has won the right way, rebuilding the team from the ground up while hiring the best strengh coach in the US. The dude was the head of training at IMG Sports Academy in Bradenton Florida and the players love him. I am sure every coach has a price but I believe Muschamp truly wants to be in Gainesville as he spent 10 years there growing up. If I was McGarrity I would go straight after Kirby Smart who learned at the feet of the master just like Muschamp and would never leave UGA. Richt is a great man but will NEVER take UGA where they want to go. You had better make the switch now before Kirby goes to either Auburn, Tenn or Arky.

Ga Gator, you’re right, we missed our chance on Muschamp. For all the things that are right at UGA, I just don’t understand our lack of committment to excellence within the football program. Not sure Smart is the real deal, also it has been recently brought up that he may be the HC in waiting at Bama. I think it was Beast who said the other day that the Gators took potential (with Muschamp) over experience but it’s looking like the gamble worked. It’s obvious the buzz is back in Gator football.

Amazing to me that Mark Richt is not, himself, sick of getting humiliated in every big game UGA plays in. Every one. He is ruining a once certain, hall of fame career with his “hanging on” to the UGA job.

When the camera cut to him Saturday night after SC scored their 2nd TD, the look on his face was one of cluelessness. I told my friends right then that Richt didn’t know how to “fix” what was going wrong, and the only thing in play was how bad the final score would be.

We just got absolutely drilled, humiliated and exposed on national television and these are the types of comments we here from Richt about practice the week after:

“We had a good day; we had a fun day; we competed,” Richt said. “We treated it like a spring practice. We had a lot of things to work on and, since we weren’t going to compete Saturday, we decided to go out and compete with a scrimmage today. And we had some great competition.”

Unbelievable. Simply shocking. This guy isn’t a football coach. He’s Mr. Rodgers.

Oh, and about those South Carolina D-ends, their skills were pretty well documented BEFORE the game. If Theus’ and Gates’ eyes were going to be opened it should have happened then. Yep, let’s just sweep the fact that this coaching staff did a poor job of preparing them for the game and move on. Nothing to see here folks.

No matter how good Saban, Miles, and a couple other coaches are, only one team will be national champions. That leaves a lot of losers. UGA competes well in the toughest conference. Let’s us see fine athletes, a good number of whom will make it to the NFL. The brand may be soiled to the sports pundits, who get paid a lot of money to be wrong a lot of the time (kinda like AJC sports writers–but it’s not a bad gig). Revenue is solid, and except for the frustrations of rabid fans who can’t stand being tormented by the other teams’ rabid fans, UGA supporters continue to love Fall, Saturdays, and looking forward to the next game. Okay, I got it. We’re not Alabama, LSU, and maybe Carolina and Florida, too. But, were we ever? Really? And for how long?

“For some reason, you expect to win championships every year…”

I don’t think anyone is saying that. You blind homer apologists are putting those words in our mouths because you don’t have a leg to stand on in this argument. Of course we can’t win championships every year, but we should be able to put on a respectable showing against top teams and not get our azzes blown out of the stadium like has happened so many times now that I’ve lost count. Heck, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for us to win a couple of those games every now and then.

“UGA competes well in the toughest conference”

We most certainly do not. We cannot beat the top teams. Not only can we not beat them, we can’t even compete with them. 42-30 Bama. 49-10 Florida. 45-19 Tennessee. 41-17 Florida. 49-31 Auburn. 42-10 LSU. 35-7 South Carolina. Not to mention losses to powerhouses like Georgia Tech, Colorodo and Central Florida thrown in for good measure.

I have not read any of the other post, but I have a theory about the second half in last weeks game. Carolina was basically controlling every phase of the game. They had decided to make Georgia beat them throwing the ball and had stacked the box, and were jamming our receivers at the line, thus disrupting our passing game. It was obvious we couldn’t block them. It was obvious to get back in the game, we had to pass often. We didn’t. IMO, early second half Richt decided ( to himself) that they needed to live to play another day, and if he put Murray back passing every play, they would pin their ears back and come after him and kill him. Call me crazy.

It’s not that Georgia lost a game, or even that Richt hasn’t won the NC. It’s that Georgia does not show up to play in big games. They are simply not prepared for high profile games.

I thought last Saturday’s game would be a toss up, 50-50. I didn’t think would get knocked on their rears and not have a single answer all game. I just wanted a respectable showing. We did not get that.

The team either lacks the will or preparation to win big games. It is one or the other.

I was at that game on Saturday, and from the get-go, you could tell that it was going to be a long night. The energy level in that place was unbelievable. The UGA players body language told the whole story. The level of excitement even from the UGA coaching staff was lacking. The thing that stood out the most was that the players were confused and lost and the staff didn’t seem to even notice what was coming next. The UGA team played passively throughout this entire game as evident in the interception that the receiver took from Rambo on the second play of the game. UGA’s running succes has been to the left side the entire season and they basically abandoned that strategy. The first run from scrimmage was to the left side by Gurley, netting a nice gain. Then we got fancy, and attempted a reverse, that was snuffed out quickly. Every SEC coach out there knows that the best way to isolate Clowney is to run directly at him and not away from him. They failed to do that. BTW….Clowney was to UGA’s left side. Gurley is left handed, so his natural and strongest side would be running to the left. They should have used 2 TE to block Taylor and Clowney for the entire game and occasionally slipped them out of the backfield for a screen. It this was done just a few times, it would have kept the DE honest.

Furthermore, they placed Gurley in the backfield, standing almost directly next to Murray’s left. This made it quite evident that it was an inside handoff designed to go right. They did the exact same play every single time. In that line-up, it was impossible for him to run left because he would be at a complete standstill when he received the ball in order to run to the left. UGA’s scheme of play was the reason as to why this game was so lopsided, and that is the coach’s fault. I think Richt overall problem, is that he places too much confidence in his positional coaches’ decisions. He needs to intervene when one his coaches refuses to adjust. That has been his downfall since the 2006 season. That is why we’re not beating ranked teams. He has to be more involved in the overall game. I thought after MacGarity took over, that Richt would get back to being heavily involved. Saban is successful because he is married to the game and he micromanages when he needs to. Our coaching staff needs to reevaluate if they are going dedicate themselves to becoming better or if they are satisfied with 10 wins. The season is not lost, but the goals of the fans are slipping away quickly.

And that rarely has happened since ‘05. Blowout after blowout – Fulmer, Kiffin, Myer, Saban, Miles, Peterson, and Spurrier have all beaten a Richt led UGA team in blowour fashion. Not to mention Richt lost embarrassingly to huge underdogs Vandy, Kentucky, Miss St, Colorado, and UCF.

The problem is that Richt & his staff are teaching these kids that losing is acceptable and to forget and move on. These kids are ALL top notch SEC athletes! At this level the loser mentality is not OK. Richt needs to make it clear to players & coaches that winning is the ONLY option in Athens.

I remember watching Tim Tebow in 2009, during a press conference after losing to Ole’ Miss, give a emotional apology & vow to Gator fans to never loss another game. That’s the mentality that Richt & staff needs to instill in Athens! This we loss it’s OK, move on mentality wont win ball games in the SEC.

Saben wins because he made it clear to players & coaches that losing is not exceptable.
The emotion and winning mentality is missing. Until CMR & staff figure this out UGA will continue to waste 5 star talent & lose against ranked teams.

They said the set of the OL and RB told them what was coming and they were right 90% of the time. That’s like the time Lane kiffen in his one year at Tenn said before beating us…” We know what they do, you just got to line up and stop it. They did. Carolina did. When Our wives can predict most plays, you know we are in trouble.

KingDaddy….He’s checked out. The slide the last 4 years in no accident. Our Athletes win the games we win…. always against weaker foes. Richt has not beat a team with more than 9 season wins since 2006. We are going on four years without a big win. Florida last year was not a big win. They were selling ” honk if you’ve beat Florida” bumper stickers down there last year. I watched the Fla/LSU replay. Florida is a load.

Richt has no commitment to building a deep,talented OL, thus the easy wins and blow outs by great teams.

I stopped commenting on the blogs for quite a while during the off season. Primary reason was I really didn’t feel good about Richt and company and what was in store for us. I still don’t feel good about our coaches. I guess I should now begin practicing what I preach, at home, to employees, colleagues, etc., If you don’t have anything good to say just don’t say anything at all.

There are a lot of positives about our program, it’s stable, well funded, and filled with great kids and good atheletes. The cancerous recruits are gone for the most part. The only down side, granted it’s a huge one, is we should be better than we are. We should be “competing” for championships.

I hold Adams, McGarity, and Mark Richt accountable for our inability to compete at the highest level. I’m over and out with my complaints, so until I see something that changes my mind about our ability to compete I’m through bashing a group of coaches mired in incompetence. I may respond to a post or two in the future but not going to waste my time on Richt issues any longer. You’all have a good day, gotta get out of the office a while.

The only way Mark Richt has ever won anything is when other teams in the SEC are down. FL and SC are not down anymore, so we’ll lose to them both. Hello Peach Bowl.

I have to agree that we have had a dearth of OL for the past several years. So what if you have a highly rated recruiting class. Most really good O-Linemen are only 2, or 3 stars anyway. Why have 6, 4 star WR’s, if you only sign 3 OL? I do wish we could have gotten Chester Brown, though.

Going forward, focus should be on OL, NT, and DE.

I have heard for years that Kirby is just a “gopher” for Saban. What does KS bring home a year? a zillion dollars? You really think with Saban’s expectations he would keep ANYBODY around who wasnt top shelf? and do you really think Bama would pay him what they do if he was just there to hold a clip board? Of course it’s Sabans defnse but dont you want a guy who learned from the best? Also what about the fact that this guy has remarkable recruiting ties in Ga? He bleeds red and black and I would argue that his overall football knowledge is through the roof (compared to what we have now). He has coached in the NFL and has coached in the SEC for years now. He knows the ins and outs of championship football. Thats something we dont have right now.

I don’t Newnandawg.

This was the year that the schedule set up nicely for Richt, 3rd year QB, talented RBs, WRs, weapons galore. Supposed stout defense.

I know McGarity’s rationale for extending the contract was to assist him in recruiting. What it also did was validate Richt and his staff, and assured there would be no changes. No fresh ideas.

The SEC’s better DCs can stop Richt’s offense – they have proved it for years. Now it seems the better OCs have figured out Grantham’s D.

The schedule only gets harder the next couple seasons.

One of the main reasons why we hired Grantham and brought in the 3-4 defense is so we could blitz a lot more , putting constant pressure on the Quarterback. For some reason we are not putting very much pressure on the QB at all. Every week Georgia give up three to four hundred yards and we are averaging giving up over 20 points a game. Our defense is ranked nearly 60TH with a senior defense. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? The suspensions and the few defensive linemen that we lost to graduation couldn’t have meant that much. I am becoming less and less a fan of the 3-4 if we do not have the talent and depth to run it properly and I hope things improve a lot the last 6 games or I will be all for going back to the 4-3. I hope Grantham can turn things around . All the position coaches need to be closely evaluated. When South Carolina can dominate us like they did Georgia has a weakness somewhere and something needs to be done . Ignoring our coaching problems will not get the job
done.
The biggest problem we have with the players is at Quarterback. Murray just can not stay focused and he lets his emotions get the best of him. Way too much history not being able to come through in the big games.

“Didn’t they have similar problems with the Gaymecocks D’line last year? They know Clowney and Taylor were coming back and were bigger and faster so why weren’t they prepared?”

I think that SCAR having KY the week before UGA really benefited them. Any one who watched the SCAR/KY game could tell that SCAR put very little effort into preparing for that game, then they come out and just completely dominate us.

That with our very young O-line, and the fierce D-line that SCAR has, the crowd, Spurrier, it really was a perfect storm.

Having said that, I still expected a more competitive game that what we played, which is why so many UGA fans are upset. If we lost the game 24-20, most of us would be ok with that, and we would probably still be in the top 10.

Your problem, similar to other “fans,” is that you can’t see anything objectively. If you fire Richt, you are more likely to go back to the true mediocrity of the 90’s with Goff and Donnan than any Saban-like dynasty.

I agree that our biggest problem is mediocre coaches, Richt not putting ANY emphasis on special teams and Grantham not running the 3-4 like it should be run.

I am not the least bit interested in bringing Kirby Smart in to be our HC. The guy is clearly benefiting from living in Saban’s shadow. In no way, shape, or form does he have the qualifications to lead a major program in a head coaching capacity. That is the problem with football nowadays…everyone is trying to find that needle in a haystack head coach diamond in the rough. Hiring assistants with no experience is such a crap shoot. Not all coordinators are meant to be head coaches. Smart should have to earn his bones the old fashioned way, by coming up from the lower ranks and coaching at a lesser school in a lesser conference first.

Oh, I have no doubt that Kirby Smart will get a shot at a major college. I just pray that it is not UGA. Let him be a bust somewhere else.

Not all assistants make good head coaches. For every assistant hired as a HC that is successful, you can reel off 10-20 who failed miserably. Why not go get a guy who has proven to be successful at the actual job for which he is being hired?

Kingdaddy, thanks for the kind remarks. I’m not leaving the blog, just refraining from the same old tired criticism of Richt. When I give my heart or support to something I go in 100%. Take golf, I haven’t been able to shoot a round under 90, yet. I keep looking for new ways, mentally and physically to get there. Tweaking, changing, etc. That sometimes frustrates me as much as UGA football, but I don’t give up. I take failure personally, I like the opportunity to try and fix things. If you can understand that you can probably understand my frustration with UGA and Coach Richt. The problems are so obvious to me.

I would suggest working harder on your putting. That is where you will shave the most strokes off of your game. And off the tee do not be afraid to sacrifice distance for accuracy. Keep the ball in play in the short grass and you will find the game much easier…breaking 90 will be quite easy, you will find. That’s just bogey golf. Good luck!

It would probably be easier to name successful head coaches who got their start as assistants, than to name the unsuccessful ones. Spurrier, Saban, Myer, Miles, Stoops, Brown, Richt, Peterson, Bowden, Dooley.

who is left on UGA’s schedule that can beat them?

Florida is the only team with a legit chance and do not forget this – UF must play SCAR the week before they play UGA

THAT WILL FACTOR IN! No “off week” and no Vandy the week before – that SCAR will effect Florida’s performance in Jacksonville vs Georgia (no matter who wins it)

so if UGA goes 10-2 and wins a bowl and finishes 11-2 it is is a debacle?

We all drank the kool aid about the OL. Facts are they are young and could not withstand the pounding of a veteran, uber-talented DL at SC.

Losing 3 starters to the NFL and replacing them with 7 young pups looked great until it was time to face NFL caliber D-linemen.

Florida has a D-line that is good but they are LAST in the SEC in sacks, nothing like SC’s D-line.

I had high expectations for Richt in 2012. I say the Florida game is THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME ever in 12 years for Mark Richt.

10-2 and he leaves at year end-my prediction

11-1 and a bowl win and like it or not, he is here for awhile. Then he gets to figure out how to get to the magic 10 wins against 6 ranked teams next year

Clemson
Florida
LSU
Alabama
South Carolina
Tennessee

OL will be better and much more experienced. Massively young on defense. Murray better come back because it will be 42-38 every week

THeir are four 1st rounders on Kiper’s board on the ‘12 defense. If you don’t think that D will have 10 players in the League within the next 2 years you are crazy.

THe D hasn’t gotten any better? They’ve gotten exponentially better each year until this year. Their actually are drawbacks to having a high powered offense (so called at least). Between 5 play scoring drives and turnovers I bet the D spends more time on the field than the O. THey aren’t cyborgs.

I quit golf 4 years ago because it was too frustrating. I would have 10 to 14 birdie putts a round and only make 1 or 2 of them. Any level of player can get to the point where they accept they will never get any better. It was easy for me to quit at 56 years old, four years ago, I had to play every tournament from the back tees and at 5′6″ tall I couldn’t stay up in distance with the taller golfers.
I could have you shooting under 90 in one month.
aldogg2121 was right do not sacrifice accuracy for distance. Practice the one , two and three feet putts a lot. Golfers who shot over 90 miss a lot of one to two feet putts. When I played I played 150 rounds a year . Week- in golf won’t get the job done. It depends on your age and how bad you want it. Good luck.

We aren’t gonna change coaches, but if we did, with the exception of a half-dozen coaches with huge buyouts, or just happy where they are, UGA would have its pick of any of a couple dozen coaches, all of whom win more games with half the talent.

Hey, Richt had a pretty good run, but HE lost to underdogs, even with his best teams,and that kept him from the Big Game. His time is past – it should be obvious to the Fan-boys and to Richt himself.

I really can’t figure out why he hasn’t just retired by now, what with all the blowouts he get handed to him. He should be embarrassed by those blowouts, over and over.

ONLY if they hire the wrong guy. That is why I do not want an unproven guy like a Kirby Smart; a head coaching experiment with a newbie could set the program back years. If they replace Richt with a proven, successful HC then we may be able to take the next step and compete for championships. I know there is not another Nick Saban out there that we can just go out and grab, but there are plenty of mid-tier schools who are beginning to learn how to win under the direction of a guy who is just starting to make a name for himself. Bring in one of these guys who has proven he can do more with less…see what he can do with more.

If our annual goal is to finish 3rd to 7th in the SEC, then by all means, let’s keep the CMR regime in place. If we aspire to something bigger, immediate change is needed.

When we went 6-7, Richt deserved and was granted a chance to get things on track. He dismissed players with attitude problems, replaced coaches and brought in amazing talent.

I ain’t lyin’ y’all, heres a sample of the misinformation these liars and cheats didn’t have the guts to print last night at primetime when I called him out :
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
KINGDADDY mindless rant: UGA will survive. What doesn’t kill ya, makes you stronger. We just need CMR to man-up and make some changes to his game-plan, both sides of the ball. But he does need, to admit we have problems first.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Top Dawg Translation: It’s okay to be routed 35-7 in a big SEC game. We just got to get used to being blown out and CMR needs to take a little more credit for big game routs by changing up the gameplan a little bit. We’ve been routed under Richt and survived, so we’ve shown we can survive future big routs. There’s a few problems but things are okay as long as Richt remain head coach. Do you see what I’m saying, part of the problem at UGA is you got idiot Richt enablers like Kingdaddy and his life partners DawginLex and Brainiac, who love Richt more than they love telling lies to each other on this blog. These delusional reprobates mindlessly guzzle the krytonite pink punch then poison this blog with asinine misinformation. They don’t know squat about football and will mindlessly support support Richt while he steals millions of dollars and renders a once great institution nationally irrelevant. Finebaum on his radio show constantly mocks and ridicule these mindless morons ! LOL! When Richt is retired soon I’m sure Brianiac, Queerdaddy, and MuttInLex follow him as disciples. Good Riddance, I can’t wait for these dummies to find a short pier and take a long walk ! LOL! 35-7 ROUT !!

Really closing the gap in the SEC, huh Richt?

He’s been in place for 12 years. According to the Disney Dawgs, It would be cruel and shortsighted not to give him 12 more years to figure out how to coach.

The difference is that Mark RIcht & staff tells players that its Ok to lose. All the players interviewed last week stated ” we are going to put this win behind us and move on”. You will NEVER here any Alabama players talk like that!! Nick Saban has made it clear to coaches & players that losing is not an option!!

As much as I love the Dawgs I think the sooner us fans accept the reality of the situation the better off we’ll be. I will of course continue to root for the Dawgs just as feverishly as I always have as well as continue to be a very proud alumni. After this latest debacle against a top 10 opponent though I’m forced to accept the reality.

I suppose I should just be grateful that I’m a fan of a consistently pretty good team instead of some perennial loser or team that goes 5-7/6-6 season after season. That’s what UGA seems to be under Richt…a consistently pretty good team that every now and again wins a division/conference championship and at least gets included in the NC conversations a few times. I’m completely convinced now though that UGA will never be a great team or a team that anyone utterly dreads having to play ala the current iteration of Bama.

Considering the big game numbers under Richt, the most glaring truth being the 1-9 record against top 10 teams, I just can’t believe UGA will ever break through to that next level with Richt. Not only does UGA lose to top 10 teams, they usually fold like a lawn chair and don’t even get off the bus as exemplified by this latest disaster last Saturday. I realize I’ve never coached or played football but I can’t for the life of me figure out how our guys are never up for these big top 10 opponent games. It usually starts at the top and we all know what that situation currently is. If Florida is still in the top 10 when we play them, according to the factual historic numbers we’ll have a 90% chance of losing. I have plenty of faith in us having a nice little 10-2 season but yet again the 2 losses are the 2 games that mattered and meant the most.

The record against top 10 competition doesn’t lie. If one of the goals of the UGA athletic department is for the football team to win a national championship, how can they look at these numbers and ever believe Richt is the guy to make it happen.

So, as I said, the sooner we accept the reality that UGA is a consistently good team but will never be a great team under Richt the better off we are. Apparently the athletic department has accepted it so we should spare ourselves the future pain of unrealized expectations and accept it ourselves. Pretty sad that I have the “man, it’s ok if they lose a tough game against a really tough opponent that they at least show up for and don’t embarrass themselves” attitude at this point.

The best thing to do in games like last Saturday is what I’ve done for a few years now in games like that and what me and my fellow UGA fan buddy that was up visiting me in Jersey did about 12 minutes into the first quarter…turn the volume on the game off and turn on the Benny Hill theme song. It at least makes the comedy of errors kind of amusing. We even started laughing by the 2nd quarter. Time to start focusing more on the appreciation of being a fan of a consistently good team I suppose.

Maybe the Falcons and/or the Braves will actually win a post season game/series this year…one down, one to go, lol

But you fools did as your master told you drank the pussy pink punch and started dreaming of going 12-0 and national titles and heismans. Your master lied to you and decieved you again, but you don’t get smarter you get dumber after every lie!!

I admit I too started laughing as the rout started and ensued. UGA down 7-0, I laughed at QB Murray after he got a pass blocked for an INT and walked off the field with that crazy spoiled brat expression to the sideline. HA! UGA down 14-0 !! ESPN zooms the camera in Richt’s expressionless mug. UGA & Murray go 3 and out. SCarolina punt 70 yd put return on Richt’s elite special eam corp made up of walk-on that earned scholarships. UGA down 21-0 !! Richt still clueless and expressionless finally rakes a hand through his receding hairline. HA ! HA! UGA finally mounts a long drive. It’s 4th down on the Carolina 2. What a minute where’s the FB & Gurley, why aren’t we in a power I formation. Oh I forgot O-line can’t run block in goalline situations. Murray lines O up in the shotgun at the two & dumps the ball off for a one yard gain on 4th down. UGA WR stopped at the goaline.DAGGUMMIT !! Cocks ball ! Richt still emotionless, Murray about to cry. Game Over ! LOL !

Second Half. 28-0 Cocks ! Richt finally calls a meaningless team huddle! HA! 35-0 Cocks! I changed channels to WVA-Texas. Then I started LMFAO ! Not at UGA, but at all the delusionalists like Kingdaddy, DawginLex, Chazzo, Brainiac, and Columbus when I thought of all the smack and sh!t those morons talked all year long. Everybody but those fools saw this debacle coming ! Hey Reprobates as former President Ronald Reagan once said : ” Words are one thing, actions are another.” The writing is on the wall your master is doomed! Richt must beat UF to save his job ! LOL! How sweet and ironic that one of Georgia’s sons now will be UGA’s avenging angel.

Former Dawg & UF headcoach Will Muschamp will do his alma mater a tremendous favor if he routs Richt in Jacksonville. Murray has never beat a ranked team, but they had fun in practice today just like last week before the beatdown. If Richt goes 3-10 vs UF he must go. Give him the buy out LOL !

Kingdaddy you love calling me a loser and a liar, I say UGA loses to UF ! Tell me what will be the final score in Jax , how bad will UGA beat UF ? Kingdaddy or any other reprobate answer me !!

This is Richt’s trademark. They lose games they shouldn’t, and when they face teams of equal talent, they get BLOWNOUT.

And for what ? To see our Dawgs, loaded with talent on offense and defense sputter in these big games. Going back to the loss to Central Florida, or even Colorado, we have consistently been below average. We always have top recruiting classes but yet we never excel. Give Saban this Dawgs team and i could almost guarantee he brings a NC to Athens !! So in saying all of this, i say change is needed !!

Hey Joey, Richt’s a fine family man, but you don’t take the chaplain to a bar fight. Football is the religion of Saban, Spurrier, & Miles and they conduct services in football stadiums. To Richt football is an unpleasant job, which pays him handsomely enough to go on long sabbaticals and religious missions. Saban, Spurrier, & Miles have brought back national titles to their fanbases that have paid them so well. UGA gets national ridicule in exchange for paying Mark Richt so well.

Our AD changed our schedule to set us up for a NC if you all remember we were supposed to play Oregon and he rearranged our schedules to mimic the way he set Florida up for a NC. I’ve had numerous discussions with other fans way before this game about why uga doesn’t ever come out and play smash mouth football like Lsu, Florida, and Bama in their NC years where they go out and say hey we are gonna rip heads off and not going to stop till we drill them no matter the opponent. No questions asked just get out of the way, this is a moving train and your in the way. Determined, focused, and execute. Whew I am fired up!

One of the things this monster loss did was give UGA fans pause to question their concept of just how good their team was. We now know we are a 5-1 team ranked 12th in the country that was not prepared for another big game. I don’t know if anyone thinks UGA is that bad of a team but the trolls and they are just hate us when we win and love us when we lose, lol. We still have a lot of football to play. The way I see it is if we get blown out in Jax by being unprepared again, then the moving van will be in front of Richt’s house Sun morning. If we win, we move up.

kd, “..Not as Bad as it Looks?” I’m not even gonna read something with a title like that. That guy need to get less mellow. We have lost 5 games, 3 in blowout fashion, in a two year period in which we had favorable schedules in both, as well as almost unprecedented talent on the field with a veteran QB. Is that good?

Here’s a little more, “recent history” as I see it. The past 4+ seasons:

20 losses with 9 blowouts. Here are the blowout scores: 30-41, 10-49, 10-24, 19-45, 17-41, 31-49, 21-35, 10-42, 7-35.

“Not as Bad as it Looks?” 20 losses with 9 blowouts is not bad in 4.5 seasons?

Without looking, I bet that record puts UGA in the bottom 5 of the SEC in losses, and blowout losses.

That’s pretty damn bad, kd.

Donnan averaged 8 wins a year; Richt averages 9.6. Really?? When Richt took over we were the 3rd best team in the East. TOday, we are the 3rd best team in the East. We rarely are in the running for the East. We conisistently pull in top 7 recruiting classes, consistently put guys into the NFL and have nothing but feel good 10 win seasons (on a good year) and a 2nd tier bowl to show for it.

I don’t get what some of you are defending. He’s been here 12 years and averages a game and a half better than what we had. We still aren’t competing for conference championships and we’re nowhere close to competing for National Championships.

The worst thing about the loss is watching die-hard UGA fans turn against each other. Most everyone of my post since the loss have demanded an accountability from CMR. This is yet to come, so it will probably have to come from McGarity in the form of changing his staff or outright termination of Richt. Watching my brothers let “OUTSIDERS” twist them into knots, is distressing but I can’t speak for you or anyone else. We have always had each others back so I cringe when I see topdog agreeing with you 100%. Are you kidding me? He is a POS, and if he is at your back, then you are not the fan I thought you were. Be mad at Richt, I am. Don’t accept the loss, I haven’t, but don’t let a POS like topdog or any other troll use your words to damn this University. Sideing with idiots and trolls is not the answer.

He is the Athletic Director. Forget our ranking. Address the pitiful accounting given by your football staff. Fix it or resign.

SC(Lost) UT (Won) and UF( To be determined) ARE YOUR ONLY TASK to get to a BCS type bowl. You’ll probably be given the East title if you beat Florida, but in reality you’ll know that South Carolina got wore down from a real schedule, STEVE SPURRIER WILL REMIND THE WORLD, and you’ll look like this mediocre team with the weakest schedule as Ala ,or Lsu meet you the SECCG.

Spurrier went to SCar with VERY little talent. He then recurited a few good Defensive players here & there, over time. He then built the Offensive line up, over time. He recruited a few BIG WR’s, even if they were 3-4 star players.. Basically the playes that most of the ‘other’ big schools weren’t going after hard. He then recruits 3-star QB talent, impliments his play-book, and coaches them very well. He got a break when recruiting Lattimore, but most of the rest of the team have been made up of players who are over-looked on a national stage of D1 programs. Once he started winning, he gets better choices of players this year than last year, and better next year than this year. I like Richt a lot – very classy guy. But Richt seems to be riding what’s left of that 2001-2007 wave… and that ain’t much. GEORGIA needs a coach who can go out & evaluate talent without depending on scout.com or ESPN Top 150. GEORGIA needs a coach that can coach these guys once they get here, and a coach that recognizes the need for a strong Offensive line & Great special teams.

Why the hell won’t Richt and BooBoo turn the whole damn offense over to Murray?

For Pete’s sake. He’s a third year starter, yet, it seems that every other play, Murray is looking over to get the next play that will certainly be a draw.

It’s just comical how badly we look on offense against better defenses.

And don’t get me started on the Almight Grantham and his inate ability to give up 30+ a game versus better offenses. That stat includes all the loses last year.
