South Carolina game mars an otherwise promising first half for Bulldogs

Yaddi yadda, Same song different verse.

So UGA beats Florida, and SC loses to LSU and Florida, putting UGA in the SEC CG where they get destroyed by Bama. They then win against a crappy B10 team in the Outback bowl. UGA is 12-2 and Richt (and worse yet Bobo and Grantham) get contract extensions.

But is the team any closer to the national championship?? That’s a resounding no.

Of course the problem is who to hire if Richt is fired?? Look at the situation down in Tennersee. They fired a coach who actually won a MNC, and look at where they are no. Those goobers would kill to have a coach like Richt, so be careful of what you wish for, Dawg fans.

It could be worse afterall. You could be a Tech fan.

Now that I think about it. Forget what I said. UGA won’t be Florida. They finished off SC last week by running straight at them (25 consecutive runs to end the game).

The Gaytors will steamroll the Dawgs, who will defeat everyone else and end up at 10-2. They’ll still get to a decent bowl and maybe win it for another ho-hum year.

Don’t get me wrong, the goobs at Tennersee and tickle pile loving nerds at Tech would kill for 10 wins a year, but that isn’t good enough around here anymore.

Chip, great article. My prediction is the coaching staff will make the adjustments going forward and this season will turn out to be a great one. Not a “homer” just looking at the big picture with Carolina and Florida’s schedule, I feel we can beat UF and SC doesn’t have the team beat LSU and Florida.

Yes Georgia is the best team in the Mid America Conference. Great stats against lousy competition. Yes Georgia will end up 10 -2. We will have a great point differential. May even back into the SEC East. With all that said this team is middle of the pack SEC. No amount of hype changes that. No amount of easy scheduleing changes that reality. When talent levels are equal dogs come out on the short end. Coahes that are great recruiters deserve credit Not getting the best out of those players is quite another story.The games that have been won were won of superior talent. Enough said.

The team is soft and intimidated by top ten teams.
Richt is a nice guy, but lacks the toughness and
mentality that it takes to win a national championship.
Murray is a decent quarterback, but is intimidated

like SC and LSU.have. It doesn’t help either that he is

I don’t see change coming anytime soon as I think the UGA top brass look at the football team as a business. Together with CMR they have come up with a solid game plan. Richt’s only stated goal is to win his SEC division. That puts him in the championship game which gives exposure and additional revenue. If by chance (smirk) they lose by 30 points, the team still gets to go to a middle tier bowl which of course generates additional revenue. Not a bad plan actually except that has little to do with football and NOTHING to do with winning a national championship.

I feel the UGA football program was actually hurt by winning the division last year and the 10 game patsy win streak. Fooled a lot of people and got Richt his fat extension.

“Whether you lose by one point or twenty eight points its just one loss.” Seriously? Being blown out 35 – 7 , being down 21-0 in the first quarter, and being down 35-0 before scoring a point is much worse than losing by a point. It shows a complete failure to prepare, coach and play. Its time to snatch off those rose colored glasses and stop acting like Pollyanna. Being blown away on national television in a key divisional game (yet again) is unacceptable and if I were McGarity I would get busy making some changes.

OUR LINE GOT EXPOSED…..like the article said. Can’t win in the SEC w/o a top-notch line, and we do not have one. We have recruited well in other positions, but done an EXTREMELY poor job upfront, which still remains the area where the game is won or lost. We can block the little sisters, but not the big boys. Last year, Boise State, LSU, and Michigan State showed us that. They (especially in the second half) made adjustments to our weakness. Richt is in the SEC, not the ACC. You gotta bring in the big-boys. Our center is point-guard height (if he is six feet, so is Danny DiVito) and the rest of the line got torn up like a pit-bull with a rag-doll. Until we get better up front, we will not compete with the Alabama’a, etc. Muschamp has passed us and (yeah, laugh if you want) Dooley at Tennessee will do the same because, like his Dad, he knows where the game is won and lost. I know it is hard to believe, but in Saturday’s game, things would have been different if we had ‘Bama’s o-line! We better step up our efforts there or things will stay the same…….

Perfect storm may be right but it implies that we could have won the game. Maybe, but the fact is that for really the first time in a long while, SC defeated us because they are better. We got outplayed and out coached. BUT, while we are down, we are not out. I may be a Dumb and Dumber kind of guy, but I’m saying we still have a chance. A chance to win the East, to win the SEC to win a B C S Bowl. Go LSU!

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.

1. As I recall, Bear Bryant didn’t fare well in his 7th to 11th seasons as a Head Coach.
2. Mark Richt has a better win % than Saban or Spurrier.
3. Mark Richt had a better win % vs. ranked teams in his first 5 seasons at UGA (.670) than Saban (.600) or Spurrier (.250) or Miles(.600) has had at Bama, LSU or SC in their first 4 or 5 years. My bet is in year 11 at their schools, teams will adjust to what Saban, Miles and Spurrier are doing, if they’re still around.
4. Spurrier has a history at South Carolina of starting strong, and fading down the stretch, he tends to put everything on the line too early in the season, and his guys run out of gas as the season rolls on. Look for him to finish no better than 10-2.
5. UGA should handle Florida by: running Murray more on pass plays, keeping in 2 tight ends to help the oline, going wiht Malcome/Samuel for better passblocking on obvious passplays, throwing to the backs, and on defense moving to the 4-3 to stop the run, not letting the QB scramble, forcing the rb inside, getting more pressure on the QB with new defensive ends like Stripling or Drew or Smith–no way Grantham stays with Jones & Washington, and keeping 2 safeties deep.
6. If UGA kicks the punt out of bounds, Rambo picks Shaw’s pass, and score from the 1 yard line, it’s tied at halftime 7-7. Those 3 plays hurt, but do not mar the whole season. Easily corrected by not punting to playmakers, 2 deep safeties, and throwing more in the red zone.

HEY DAWG FANS. I know you don’t want to admit this, but 14 of the 15 offensive linemen for Tennesee, South Carolina and Florida are black athletes. Since these coaches have shown the necessary GUTS to commit to this type of athlete, it’s now SAFE for Richt to do the same. It would have been nice for UGA to “LEAD THE WAY” in this transition, but when’s the last time that’s happened!? Now that it’s safe for Richt, he should feel comfortable in moving Burnette to center (in the name of all that is holy Richt, DO IT NOW!), Mike Thornton to Burnette’s spot at right guard, Mark Beard and Kenarious Gates on your left side. And most importantly, XZAVIER WARD for “Molasses” Theus. Can you imagine “GURSHALL” running behind this group. You couldn’t be stopped! Then, turn Shamire Devine and Jeremi Hall from Tech, Turn Octavious Jackson from Florida. Sign Joshua Outlaw and Devonte Seymour, and move John-John Atkins to center to replace Burnette when he leaves.Then off you go. National Titles await. But it takes GUTS to do this, and Richt doesn’t have enough. Plus, it would monumentally upset you guys, the UGA FAN BASE. So, it ain’t gonna happen. What is gonna happen, is that you guys are going to go another year without the ring. What is it 32 years now? Geez.

I am bothered by the way that CMR is rationalizing the loss to South Carolina. I get that its only one loss, that it was the biggest game that South Carolina has ever played in, their stadium was charged, it was arguably the third emotionally charged game Georgia played in this season and second on the road, etc., but it was a humiliating loss! Just as concerning is I don’t like that CMR refuses to admit that he and the coaching staff didn’t have the team prepared. Its pretty obvious that they didn’t have a plan to deal with their D-line, couldn’t quiet the crowd, etc. I think that CMR could quiet the critics and gain a lot more respect from the Dawgnation if he’d simply admit that he and the staff failed in their preparation and forcefully tell the Dawgnation that as a staff, players, etc. IT WON”T HAPPEN AGAIN PERIOD. Losses are certainly a possibility but when you look that inept and unprepared, trying to rationalize the situation is not the correct approach. Had they lost a closely contested game, that’s a different story.

We will fight like you’ve never seen us fight.” Ok, now throw in a dozen or so expletives of your own choosing. Damn CMR! Show some fire.

I think right I’m rooting for one of the two scenarios. First: SC loses to both LSU and Florida, we pull off our typical pull-from-behind win against Florida, win the East and then… well, we won’t talk about what’ll happen in the SEC championship game… and then we can claim another East title.

Second, SC beats LSU, hopefully beats Florida and TN and they, I think, have a real shot at beating Alabama and could maybe even go to the national championship game. That’d make things look a lot better for the Dawgs if we lost to such a powerhouse.

I’m afraid that its not going to go down that way. SC will lose 1 SEC game or will lose 2 and we’ll lose to Florida and it’ll just be one of those years where we have a great record only because we didn’t win against anyone tough. We have the 48th toughest schedule versus SC’s 8th toughest and Florida’s 2nd toughest.

Richt’s aware of the big 4 mistakes UGA made in the first half, did you read the article, here’s what Richt said
“The best thing we can do is correct our mistakes. We had to assess some things we need to get better at. That’s what you do”

1- Richt’s admitting mistakes
2- Richt’s assessed where we need to get better at

Like I said 4 mistake sin the first half cost us:
1- Missed int by Rambo (ended up scoring 7 on drive)
2- Int by Murray (ended up scoring 7 on dirve)
3- Punt return (ended up scoring 7 on punt return)
4- UGA stopped at goaline (cost us 7 points)

If you want to add in a 5th mistake, we got beat on a deep ball in the 2nd half.

These are easily corrected by:
1) 2 deep safeties
2) Murray throwing to outside or long balls only deep in own territory
3) Kick punts out of bounds
4) Have a better set of plays for inside the 5 yardline on offense

It’s funny how Richt mentioned how South Carolina grabbed the momentum in the game. Well, DUH, we gave them that chance by his stupid deferring to the 2nd half crap. Just like he did against Alabama in the famous blackout game. Should have taken the ball first and tried to score first and silence the crowd (like Alabama did against us). That would have been my top priority, to take the crowd out of the game. Richt can’t even get the coin toss right for crying out loud.

It was 21-0 before most fans could find their seats. Did Richt or the Bulldogs respond to that? I’ll answer that for you, no, they didn’t. You can rattle off something different that “could’ve” happened on those plays but guess what? It doesn’t change those plays.

The difference is how the team (and coaches) respond to those plays. We didn’t respond. Richt curled up on the floor like a 3 year old and was Spurrier’s punk accepting everything The old bawl sack gave him. The Bulldogs were lifeless, clueless and uninspired.

Keep on reliving those 3 plays if it’ll make you feel better though. But, don’t try to label it anything other than fantasy

You don’t know me very well do you Sammy? I have been critical of our mediocre to bad offensive line dating back to 2008. I have been critical of Bobo’s flag football play calling dating back to around 2009. I have gone on record several times saying that we will NEVER win an SEC title with Mike Bobo as our offensive coordinator. We’re going on 6 years now and I have been absolutely right. I have been intermittently critical of Richt’s blase approach to coaching in the rough and tumble SEC dating all the way back to 2007 after one of our usual brainfarts cost us a shot at the SEC and National title. I called for his firing after the 6-7 debacle of 2010, for which there was no excuse. I was heavily critical of his soft approach leading up to the 2008 season where he cut back on physical practices because he was afraid of injuries. Yes, as was as hopeful as anyone that we had turned things around after last year’s 10 game run. Yes, I bought in to the hype a little bit. I thought maybe we had turned a corner this year and were finally ready for big boy football. Boy was I wrong. Its just the same half azzed not ready for prime time crap we’ve been seeing for the better part of half a decade now. I’m tired of it.

I dont need to go back and see

UGA has put more players in the NFL than any other school in the SEC since 2001

But guess what????

Since 2001

FL 2 National Titles
AL 2 National Titles
LSU 2 National Titles
Aub 1 National Title

Saban 3 National Title

Mark Richt 00000000000000000000000000000 National Title “”"”APPEARANCES!!!!!!!”"”"”"

Mark Richt Has yet to beat every SEC East team in the same season (yet Spurrier has now done it at SC)

Mark Richt has backed into every SEC championship game thanks to other teams losing out

Once again it seems that Georgia’s offensive line is the Dawgs’ Achilles heel. The players on the line themselves apparently realized their inexperience and worked admirably hard to raise their level of play, but it hasn’t been enough. Murray was rushed all night. The defense wasn’t stellar, either, but without a couple fluke SC touchdowns, they might have kept it close enough if the offense had produced as usual. As I remember, when UGA was rated No. 1 preseason a few years ago, with Stafford at quarterback, Knowshon Moreno carrying the ball, and several excellent receivers, it was again the line that fell short. Coach Richt should coolly evaluate his staff in that area closely for possible changes, as he did with defense.

Our coaching staff has given us:

-numerous humiliating national TV performances (Bama 08, Boise State 11, SECCG 12,USCe 12, Almost any game in Jax)
-two straight bowl game losses, one of which was a completely unmotivated, embarrassing loss to UCF.
-a team that is constantly unprepared, undisciplined, and outcoached (see above)
-An 6′1′ (barely) quarterback that lays an egg in every big game while the 6′4′ one sets on the sidelines or is redshirted
-a reshirted Knowhown Moreno that only ended up playing two seasons
-Willie Martinez for 2-3 years more than we needed
-the unproven and clueless Mike Bobo
-a severely polarized fan base
-a perennial lock on the Fulmer Award
-a staff that thought Cam Newton should be recruited as a tight end

What other evidence do we need? Losing to USCe is not a single, rare event. It is the norm against teams of equal talent, but way better coaching. We all deserve better. Regardless of this season’s record we need to make a change at the top!

Again, UGA football and Coach Richt have proven themselves that they are not elite. But are a good program.

Not only is UGA losing these games – but it is HOW UGA is losing these games.
Look at the number of blow out losses over the last few years to Florida, Lane Kiffin, LSU, last week at South Carolina.

My predictions for this season are right on:
USCe beats down UGA
Florida beat LSU
USCe will beat LSU
It is now between USCe and Gators for SEC East Title

UGA will finish 6-2 in the SEC East – which is pretty dang good – but understand that KY, Vandy, Mizzou are not very good. Tennessee is improving and this was a good win for UGA – as it now helps better position to play at either the Outback bowl or Peach bowl – which are good bowls.

After the Florida game – the only other team of concern for UGA is Ole Miss – which chould pull the upset. UGA will beat KY and Auburn – and Ga Southern and GT are probably the same caliber program at this point. My guess is that Ga Southern will give UGA a better game than GT!

Once again – BOTTOM LINE – when it comes time to step up against the real big boys – Richt and UGA are ALL HAT – NO CATTLE! Blow out city baby!!!!

What is UGA going to do next year when UGA loses to Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida.

Richt got passed by Urban – and then got blown in several games.
Pyscho Muschamp is now passing UGA.
Spurrier passed UGA 3 years ago – as head to head UGA is now 0-3.
Saban blew by UGA is 2 short years
LSU is down some this year – but Les Miles has proven more consistent than Richt.
If UGA and TAMU palyed tomorrow – my money is on TAMU.
Tennessee is getting there – and thinking they beat UGA next year as UGA’s defense will be depleted and Grantham the savior has proven to be mediocre.

Yep – change is good. Brian VanGorder will be your next HC.

I’m tired of hearing what a fine and great christian man mark richt is. Does a good man put personal relationships ahead of the program and the job he is in charge of doing? No. This guy has protected many coaches in this program over the years that should have been relieved of their duties for total incompetence. That’s what you call putting personal relationships before the greater good of the program. Men of integrity do their job and make hard decisions which sometimes includes firing friends and coaches you like on a personal level. Only a coward would try to cover up weakness because they don’t have the guts to look someone in the eye and deliver the hard but necessary news that they have not lived up to expectations.

I like the way UGA sits right now.

If Florida beats South Carolina, South Carolina drops to #10 in the polls.

Florida would move up to #1.

UGA would likely be sitting at #8 or #9 with an impressive win over Kentucky.

then if UGA at #9 beats #1 ranked Florida, UGA moves past SC in the pollls, and you have a 3 way tie breaker

Florida would be out of SEC Championship game due to head to head loss to UGA

SC would be out of SEC Championship game, due to lower ranking than UGA, who would then move up to #3 after beating #1 ranked Florida.

Then UGA gets #1 ranked Bama.

If UGA beats it’s 2nd #1 ranked foe, UGA moves to #1 ranking and plays for the National Championship.

Our O-line had played well up to the game in Columbia . . . but we really hadn’t played anybody and, not to take anything away from their effort, it was sort of an illusion. SC has one of the two best D-lines in the SEC this year and maybe the best. I don’t think it would have mattered who we put out there this year, that was one bad-ass chicken D-line and they were simply more talented than our O-line boys. But we have got to get serious about getting some grade A offensive linemen with attitude before we draft another 15 receivers. The QB can’t throw the ball and the backs can’t run it when they’re running for their lives. This has been a sore point for Richt’s teams during most of his tenure. And I just don’t understand it.

Dooley won 6 SEC championships and a national championship and played for another without the recruiting base Richt has now in this state

Richt has backed doored himself into his championships cause he cant beat all the SEC East teams has yet to even appear in a national title game but during that time FL, AL, LSU have won 2 and Aub 1 and yet UGA has put more players in the NFL than any other school in the SEC during that time and has more top 10 recruiting classes

“SecFan, Grantham’s defense was ranked high last year because they padded stats against cupcakes. Their stats last year against good teams(all loses) got to be mediocre, but I don’t have the number.”

Agreed.

Grantham’s 1st year, they were absolutely pathetic. Couldn’t stop Colorado and couldn’t tackle Lattimore. Grantham’s 2nd year, couldn’t contain the only 2 good teams they faced, Boise and SC. 10 cupcakes in a row can make a difference in perception. Not a single good offense in that time. When faced with adequate offenses, UGA D has folded like a cheap suit. LSU in the SECCG. UGA’s D wasn’t that good in the 1st half, LSU was inept and couldn’t get out of their own way. The defense that showed up and yielding 30+ to Michigan ST was/is the real Georgia D. We know this now. It is the same D that just gave up 35 to a so-so offense of SC

If you think Richt’s bad vs. ranked teams, Spurrier is .250 vs. ranked teams, so pretty good odds LSU & UF & Clemson all beat Spurrier. Bout a 75% chance.

Muschamp is 1-5 vs. ranked teams, about a .166 record. Could he beat UGA, maybe, but he’s 0-1 vs. Richt at Florida and 1-5 vs. ranked teams.

richt’s is .400 vs. ranked teams, so I think Richt beats Florida, gets back to the SEC Championship, and plays ALL 4 quarters this time, instead of just winning the first half.

This is the year Dawg fans, don’t let this Techiies get you down.

I always rated the Colorado game as the most inexplicable of all the Richt embarrassments – until now. How could you lose to an awful CO team that got destroyed by everyone (except inept UGA) and would later fire their coach.

Reading today’s article I now realize the “perfect storm” theory and realize that they had 50,000 excited fans, so of course, we had no chance. I mean really, it was a perfect storm-who could win a game in that environment.

This also helps explain the Boise game. After all, we were playing in a very hostile environment; The GA Dome must’ve had 15,000 Boise fans. Who can realistically expect success under these adverse circumstances?? I say give CMR a lifetime contract. He is doing all that is humanly possible.

That said, a good defense only needs to make sure the opponent has at least 1 point less to be successful, right? We’re not doing it on either count. The Defensive stats which were highly padded last year, are exposed this year. They couldn’t stop a box of kittens.

Did anyone else think that we played exactly the same way in the second half?? What the he– did our “coaches” talk about at half time? Did they consider going under center and using a full back, maybe putting a tight end in to help with the end rush, a screen pass or a slant across the middle, a bigger back in the back field to do nothing but block (pretty simple instructions, son # 7 is going to be right in your face as soon as the ball is snapped so try to slow him down a little) but no this game plan will work if we keep at it long enough. What a depressing sight, Spurrier coaching his a– off while leading 28-0 and CMR pushing his mike up to spit and rubbing his hair down. Good man or not, he is never going to be able to compete with the top level coaches in the SEC so 9-3 or 8-4 depending on schedule seems about the level for us. I love my Dawgs but refuse to spend any more time or money going to see these kinds of displays.

Chip, you rated the Coaching “decent”? Really?
Note also that Coach Richt is quoted as saying “…we just never got momentum going in our direction.” I disagree with that assessment. UGa had momentum from the first series, but it wasn’t the kind of momentum that causes good things to happen on the field. That sucking sound you heard from our sidelines simply got louder as the game continued. This team wasn’t prepared to play in a big game, which has been a chronic problem in recent seasons, and the momentum that they had was the kind that leads to bigger deficits piling up quickly. A coaching staff that had a clue might have made a few well considered adjustments during the game, but there wasn’t much evidence of that happening.
I can’t believe that the underperformance during the games against higher quality competition is entirely the fault of UGa’s coaching staff, however. This team, like those of the past few years, does not seem to have leaders on the field. Recall that in Richt’s first few years on the job, David Greene and David Pollack led by example on the field, helping the other players play at a higher level. If anyone who has watched this year’s team more closely than I have been able to so far will tell us who the team’s leaders are, I’ll appreciate your helping us out here. If Aaron Murray is all you have to offer, I will consider my point confirmed.

If you play ranked teams on a regular basis you build player & program confidence. Alabama, LSU, Oregon, USC, & all of Pac-12 teams have proved it to be true!!

CMR: OK, gentlemen, let’s make it quick, I’ve got to get over to the Ramsey Center for a diving exposition. You go first CMB
CMB: The big matchup problem is with Clowney. We’ll have the linemen and RBs dive at his feet thereby confusing him so much that he will run away!
CMR: I like your style, Bobo. What about Murray?
CMB: We all know what a big-game QB he is, just let him do his thing!
CMR: Agreed. OK CTG you’re up.
CTG: Well, this week we’ve decided not to take away the pass or the run. They will become so confused, they will simply hand us the ball back.
CMR: That’s never been tried before! Brilliant!
CMB: What about punt coverage
CMR: I’m not familiar with the concept but I don’t want to take focus away from the complexities of the game plan so let’s keep it simple.
CMB: What about the atmosphere and crowd noise.
CMR: I’d be surprised if their fans were into the game. It’s so late at night, most of them probably will wonder off by game time.
CMB: Ok, hadn’t really thought of that. I guess that’s why you’re the head coach and I’m not.
CMR: Good stuff guys. Why don’t you take the rest of the week off. See you in Columbia

THIS is the core reason that UGA loses to OK State, Michigan State, U of Cental Florida, Colorado and LSU, Boise, Alabama and UT , few years back and to SC the other night.

THIS IS FAULT of POOR LOS recruiting. CMR is the culprit,

Let me start off by saying this, “I’m a season ticket holder, and I bleed RED and BLACK.” I have a couple of complaints to get off my chest. First of all, the USC game was very hard to watch, but don’t forget their fan base. They had that shat hole stadium rocking, with their glow stick music. I’ve attended many UGA football games were the coaches and player have to make fans stand up. The players feed off of us, THE FANS. Most of you so called UGA supporters are sitting around, as if you’re watching a freaking tennis match. CMR has shown more emotion than usual ie… Mizzou game. He’s been waving his arms up and down trying to get the fans envolved. Does he need to get in a kids face to make some of you happy. Maybe so, but I guarantee when he does someone will say, “He shouldn’t act that way.” Second, how is it CMR’s fault when a player decides to smoking pot, carrying a firearm, or getting a DUI. I guess you never participated in those type of activity, in COLLEGE. The players have to learn how to be responsable, for their own actions. No one forced them to do any of the above, and the APD doesn’t help out either. They are so quick to bust one of our guys. You don’t see this happening at other universities. However, I guess that’s all CMR’s fault too.Third, I’m so sick
and tired of these fare weather fans on message boards, twitter, and facebook posting negative information about UGA. Get a grip, our recruits are reading what’s being posted.
Which gives other schools the edge, and makes them rethink their commitment to the “G”. Then some of you ADULTS bash kids, for opening their recruitment and committing elsewhere. Also, our current players read your comments as well, and they feel as if we don’t care! I’m human, so I have some of the same concerns as most of you. The difference between myself and you, is that I don’t post my negativity on public social media boards. With all of this being said you can take it how you want, but I’m 100% committed to the “G”, and our guys that wear the RED and BLACK. Now ask yourself, “Are you really committed to the G”.

DaltonDawg, I too hail from Dalton and after reading your post I can only hope your not a Dalton High Graduate because it’s clear you have a losers mentality. You’re really going to blame the fans for being dejected after all of our big game failures? Really? What do the fans have to be fired up about when they know reverand Richt’s team is going to lay an egg. And the only thing your apparently comitted to is losing since you support this coaching staff that has underachieved to the tune of 2-14 in recent years against ranked opponents. Yea! Lets all cheer along with reverand Richt while the top teams in the SEC destroy us. Hooray! Lets all have a blackout and get annihilated on National TV by Bama. Sorry if we don’t share in your enthusiasm for mediocrity.

No. I sat in front of the TV and told my wife before the game started that we would lose by two touchdowns and of course I underestimated our coaching staff’s ineptitude. You see, I have seen this act before as many of the intelligent and justified Richt detractors have and we are thankfully smart enough not be fooled once again like the pollyanna Richt koolaid cheering section. And why would I worry about highly ranked recruits when all the smart fans know they will come here and get coached “down” and never live up to expectations. I want a winner on the field in the fall not a paper tiger champion in february.

When Dooley retired, Georgia became a soft team. Prior to his retirement 90% of the games he won were 3 yards and a cloud of dust and then he won in the 4th quarter by wearing the other team down now————- not so much.

Here’s the really bad news, Muschamp read Dooley’s book anf the Gators have not been scored on in the 4th quarter and only 13 total points in the 2nd half. Jax is going to brutle for the dawgs. The softness will be exposed.

I really don’t think the administration at Georgia gives a rip about championships or titles.
Georgia is at the top each year for profit margins among college football programs. I believe they were only $2 million behind Alabama after its last National Title in income revenue. Why would Georgia feel they need to spend the same percentages on its football program as Alabama when they have a similar return on a smaller investment? Other teams can have their titles, but Georgia is laughing all the way to the bank

Richt has never been able to put together a solid offensive line even going back to his FSU heydays as Bowden’s OC. All the guy every cares about is the overachieving, limited QB……guys like Casey Weldon, Chris ”1-15 Panthers” Weinke, Joe Cox, and Aaron Murray. Richt also loves WRs and the O-line,TEs,FBs, and RBs don’t mean as much to him. They are role players in his system which is totally pass to set a meager/marginal run game. Richt’s approach to offense was finesse in the 90s and he feasted on playing inferior, weak ACC teams that FSU played on a regular basis. He could NEVER beat the vintage-era Miami Hurricanes in a big money, high stakes game. Which lead Bowden to say: ” When I die they’re gonna write on my daggum headstone, I couldn’t beat the daggum Miami Hurricanes” ! To hell with the defeatists and I don’t care about offending the delusionalists who get drunk on pussy pink kool-aid daily. I only care about a school who’s great legacy is getting tarnished by a coach who was a bad fit from the very start. It’s all boiling down to one game now for Richt: BEAT UF OR do the right thing Richt. Resign for the glory of ole Georgia and free yourself for the glory of the ministry. Go ‘Dogs !

A decent explanation of the improvement in the SC defense from ESPN: “Most recently, Spurrier promoted Lorenzo Ward to replace highly successful defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson, who took the Southern Miss head-coaching job after last season. Ward’s first game in charge was a 30-13 win over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl at the end of last season. In seven games as coordinator, his defense has yet to give up more than 17 points in a game and has given up more than 13 points only once.

Spurrier said last week that Ward has simplified what the Gamecocks are doing on defense, which has made them that much more effective. It’s a defense that has made very few mistakes to this point this season.?” What has Richt done? hired a coordinator that knows only the 3-4 for a league dominate at the line of scrimmage.

He Hate Gator,
I seem to recall a large number of posters saying that UGA should make Grantham the head coach, just a few months ago. Oh, how things have changed. Just look at his defense against quality opponents last year. That #5 defensive ranking was padded against patsies. Stats can be twisted, but wins and losses cannot. He was the 4th or 5th choice for a reason. No one wants to coach for Richt unless they are just looking for job security. His assistants do not become head coaches and he is the longest tenured coach n the SEC. Speaks volumes, in my opinion.

There comes a time when posting on these public forums is not going to cause anymore damage that what is already being committed by this coaching staff. Maybe it does have some influence on recruits who one across the comments, but it is very little. I have a friend who teaches at a certain school to a certain recruit who just flipped to SC. The kid flat out said “no, Spurrier is just smarter” when they had a comparison discussion about the staffs. These 17 yr old kids can pick it up on their own; Whether on visits or watching the games. CMRs time is over. It’s McGarity we want to read our comments. He will be the individual that forces Richt to step down. I also do not want to play in Atlanta. This staff is incapable of a full game strategy. Full game! Not gimmicky plays in the first 3 minutes, followed by conservative “what do I do? I’m confused” play calling for the remaining 45 minutes! I sat next to Bobo in a principles class in 1994. He was n idiot then and he is an idiot today. No business whatsoever OCing and SEC team. Well, maybe Auburn. 9-3. BC we lose in Jax and Oxford.

Coaching staff is far from decent. That’s the problem.

With a decent coaching staff we would have an offensive line, just to name one weakness which would be corrected.

I would advise our potential recruits to go elsewhere as long as Mr. Richt is around. It pains me to say this. Spurrier is our daddy. How did it come to this?

Perhaps the worst of it – well, other than Daddy Steve – is that Mark Richt doesn’t even get it. What’s the opposite of a Damn Good Dawg? He’s an ACC guy, our CMR, at best.

You know something. I think Mike Bobo is a terrible offensive coordinator, but I’d rather have him as a head coach than Mark Richt. At least he is a Dawg.

UGA’s next head coach: Larry Kehres

Never heard of him?

Record:167-7 six (6) National Championships (all undisputed) since 2000, 10 overall since 1993

Overall record: 317-24-3 (.924 pct) 20 undefeated seasons

An AFCA Coach of the year a whopping 24 times in a 27 year career

Yes….it is Division III, but right now this where UGA is…

My point is, that if you can win at that level based on the talent level that you have to work with, the same can be accomplished at any level with a comparable level of talent as compared to the rest of the teams is your league.

It’s all about coaching……and right now UGA is in the failure mode in that area.

I would not hesitate to guess that if you gave this guy the talent that currently exist on the UGA roster, he could win going away.

Many will laugh at this. But the fact remains that he couldn’t be any worse that what us currently occupying the offices at the Butts-Mehre building now.

I am including a few quotes from his bio.

According to Kehres, a successful football program is built on organization and consistency.

“We have built a successful program, in part, because our coaching staff has remained intact and is committed to our system,” he said. “We feel our program is well-organized. Our players know what is expected of them. They know that we believe in taking advantage of opportunities and not beating ourselves with mistakes.

“Offensively, we like to attack the defense and make them cover the whole field. Defensively, we want to create big plays. As for the kicking game, I believe in being aggressive and winning the field position battle. Being consistent in all three phases and being well-conditioned puts you in a position to win games in the fourth quarter.”

Sound like something you could get behind?

@ the dog

I am familiar with this guy. He coaches at Mount Union in Ohio. They are a Division III school. (you have to start somewhere). I agree wholeheartedly with you. He is also the AD there. Another area where UGA is sorely lacking.

Your point is a valid one. I went to their website and checked out his bio. I am amazed at what he has accomplished not only as a coach, but as an AD.

Mount Union Current Head Coaching Notes

· Overall Record: 317-24-3/.924

· OAC Record: 219-8-3

· Overall Home Record: 180-9-3

· Overall Road Record: 127-10-0

· Neutral Site: 10-5

· Playoff Record: 73-13

· 205 All-OAC First Team selections

· 250 All-American selections

· 5 winners of the Gagliardi Trophy given to the top all-around football player in NCAA Division III

All of this in a division that actually has a playoff system/format (think the coming BCS system here).

I also agree that coaching is coaching…..you either have it or you don’t. And currently we “DON’T” have it. I for one would like to see what a guy like this, if given a chance to run a big time program (and yes it is currently debatable whether or not UGA is in anyway considered a big time program) could do…

Ritch’s comments rationalization at its best. I am surprised he is not more candid.

Let’s get something straight here about all the “ten wins” season stuff. Going 10-2 today is like going 8-2 or 7-3 back in the ten game season days. In other words, if you’re content with being a little above average and always losing to the top ten teams, you’re a happy Bulldog fan. Richt has lost whatever cache the Georgia teams had earned under Dooley. We can be twisted into pretzels by Florida and now by Carolina. (Don’t get me started about Alabama.) As long we put up with this situation, we will continue on this path. We need a coach who will not let us lose by more than two touchdowns and will keep us in contention at least 50% of the time. With Georgia’s tradition and talent base, we should be able to achieve this. But we have to WANT to.

Richt is actually talking about how the choice of jerseys was a big factor in winning a game against Auburn 5 years ago? Did the infamous “Blackout” game against Alabama teach him nothing? And he’s suggesting that once momentum is going for or against you, you can’t really do anything about it. It’s clear he’s never to going to figure out that you don’t win big games with gimmicks and you have to build a program where the coaches and players are tough minded and able to deal with adversity.

And it does matter whether you lose by 3 or by 28. One is being competitive, the other is taking a beating. For a head coach to say otherwise is pathetic.

I’m so tired of Richt’s b.s.

I’d be a lot happier with him if he’d man up and just say something like “We tend to lay eggs in high-profile games against top teams. That’s on me as the head coach, and we will work our tails off until the problem is fixed.”

Here’s another statement I’d like to hear: “Our defense has stunk this year, and we expect much better. I’m holding myself, the defensive coaches, and the players accountable for turning things around. We have too much talent to give up that many yards and points to anyone.”

No, instead we get inspirational quotes like “let’s see how things shake out” and “we just never got momentum going in our direction.” The latter is just a mealy-mouthed way of saying “we got our rear ends kicked up and down the field.”

It’s called denial, I think.

I keep hoping that McGarity or SOMEONE at UGA will wake up. McGarity is a total buffoon so Richt may not be in trouble even if we go winless. He can’t see that Richt is leading us nowhere, even if he stays another 20 years. Like you said, we are stuck in a nightmare.

Sitting here watching LSU-SC game. South Carolina wins the toss and guess what, they elect to take the ball. I have posted on here this week that Richt should have done that against South Carolina last week but the idiot deffered like he always does. Anyway Brent Musbuger asked Herbstreit why would Spurrier do that and he said Spurrier knew the importace of scoring first in a game like this, he wanted to silence the crowd.

DUH RICHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you are watching this game, maybe you will learn something by watching Spurrier! Instead last week you game tghem the ball first and they went down and scored, the crowd exploded, our guys got rattled and it was downhill from there.

No, South Carolina did not score on that opening drive but Spurrier knew the importance of it! Richt can’t even get the coin toss right!!!!!!!!!!!!

That dude Sammy is an idiot and what we call Disney Dogs. Living in fantasy land. Richt simply cannot beat quality programs, Murray isnt a big game QB, and Bobo is a terrible playcaller who gets super conservative when he gets hit in the mouth. UGA has national championship type talent and should be in the hunt for the SEC title every year given the talent we have and not losing to South Carolina three years in a row with superior talent. McGarrity came from Florida and I trust that he will do the right thing and fire Richt. We have Clemson, Bama, and LSU on the schedule in 2013, All three will be loses not even counting our other games. 2013 will be Richt’s last. We’ll go a misleading 9-3 this year losing to again all the ranked teams we play and he’ll keep his job.

Losing to GT three years in a row got Jim Donnan sacked, and those weren’t even conference games. So why is Richt still in Athens?

I have not called for Richt to be fired.
But the way we lose big games, it is time for him to go.
While we win 10 games a year, we can’t win those that matter.
Worse, we don’t even compete in the big games.
Important game on national TV…we will be humiliated.
I’m sick of it.
Richt must go.

Florida can’t play like they did tonight and beat South Carolina or Georgia. Florida looked like they had an LSU hangover tonight. But I am sure they will be juiced for the Gamecocks in THE SWAMP next weekend. Better hope that Driskell never learns how to throw the ball down the field….because he sure can run it down the field.

Bottom line we get thumped in every big game since 2008, sick of it, we have enough talent to play with anyone but our coaches do not coach them up.

Love the title of this article. Much like:

“Sinking of Titanic Mars 1st Half of Awesome Boat Ride”

It IS all about the SC game. The 5-0 start against nobody was a mirage

LSU/Carolina, classic SEC duel between heavyweights. Good physical game. Both teams throwing punches, both teams responding. What a concept Richt.

Oh thank God! Our hopes of backing into the SEC championship to get handily outcoached by Alabama is still alive!!!!! Looks very promising with this pending LSU victory over that SC team that made us look like Reinhardt College.

I said earlier this season that Jeremy Hill is the best freshman running back in the SEC…GIRLSHALL would have to wait their turn in Baton Rouge. LSU statrting 2 true freshmen on the right side of the o-line, including a Georgia kid, and beats the squad that routed the mighty BULLDOGS…that was big-boy football ladies…hope CMR was taking notes…Vidal Alexander> Theus…

It’s not just one game- it’s every game Georgia has played the last 4-5 years against top teams-except Ga Tech. Notice Mark Richt talked about how the SC loss was like Georgia’s victory over Auburn
IN 2007. 2007!!!!!!!! That’s how far he had to go back!!!!!!
He acts like it’s no big deal that we got beat 35-7-sorry-IT IS A BIG DEAL.
I love love his comment after the game-” Well, the bad news is that we lost, but the good news is that we took it all together”. Really??? That’s the good news?????

We will score 50 points on Kentucky but we better show a lot more aggressive offensive formations to get some type of idea as to what we will need to do to beat Florida. If our passing game does not open up our running game with Florida then we will have a repeat of the South Carolina game. Florida will shut our running backs down if we do not spread Florida out and we better practice on Kentucky.
L.S.U. has a better defense than South Carolina so Grantham better make some major changes on defense if we don’t want to bet embarrassed by Florida. Do I need to remind anyone that Florida beat L.S.U.

Thanks to SC and LSU for putting on a really good show. I enjoyed watching that game immensely. Two great SEC teams slugging it out. Not giving up and accepting “the whipping we all took together.” It only takes a minute to watch Bama, LSU, SC and FLA. to see how weak our coach and his staff truly are. I’m sure they were all watching and jumping around because Carolina lost. They have zero chance of beating Florida. ZERO. After next weeks drubbing of Kentucky, they’ll all announce how UGA football is back — then the annual Florida debacle (and I truly mean debacle) will rear it’s ugly head. Then CMR will talk about not giving up and fight and being a team and we’ll be in Nashville for a bowl game. We’ve seen this script too many times to not know the outcome. Anyone, other than those born on MARS doubt me?

Chizik won a NC – would any of us want that program now? I think not. Oh lookie – SC lost to LSU – I guess the season is not over after all – and they have to play Florida next week…the season ain’t over yet, boys. Like I said – it’s one game – whether you win pretty or lose ugly the math is the same – one game. 1=1….even Tech fans know that. Vandy gave the mighty gators all they could handle….. very impressive. I like our odds – GO DAWSG!

For every one of the CMR haters, I generally pose the same question year after year. Who is available right now that will bring us 10 wins a season (as CMR has done)? I am not opposed to switching coaches but God knows he better be at least as good as CMR or the haters will be all over him. Most your mid-major coaches are Jim Donnan in new gear. Most the “Fire CMR” folks wanted Todd Grantham to move up last year. How are you feeling about that now, Einsteins??
