It will be interesting to see if he resigns or is fired with he and Richt being such good friends. My momma always told me, "If you are going to hire a friend, be prepared to fire that friend. Hate it for Richt but there is a pattern of giving up 30+ points a game now that goes back nearly 2 years. Turnovers or not, it is unacceptable. Promote Garner and let's see if he can coordinate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-28507800067851176262009-10-11T10:19:38.436-04:002009-10-11T10:19:38.436-04:00Michel Moore hasn't been playing much at all t...Michel Moore hasn't been playing much at all the past several games, so that would explain why he hasn't made receptions.<br /><br />As far as Mark Richt, he is the sole reason we have AJ Green. His family chose the Bulldawgs for Richt's character. I think most of us would agree that our record would be FAR worse if we didn't have Green at this point. Say what you want about Richt's difficult decision-making, but I think it's also important to include the positives in the discussion somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-81570633403434789222009-10-11T03:24:29.382-04:002009-10-11T03:24:29.382-04:00Two things, first on defense, can we not come up w...Two things, first on defense, can we not come up with an outside blitz to take away the rollout by Crompton, it was the single play that was ran over and over that we could not stop. <br />Second, is it just me or is it actually the seniors who are the ones making the most bone headed plays. Cox is turning it over way to frequently(for those of you who thought Stafford turned it over too much he had 10 ints all last season, Cox I believe is at 8 halfway through the season. Owens jumps offsides a few times a game. Moore finally caught a few passes for the first time in three games but also had a block in the back and a fumble. Atkins has become and after thought. The younger guys make a mistake here and there but also have made plays to make up for it, this years senior class has been very disappointing to say the least. <br />Go Dawgs, keep fighting.Dawgfan17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-22506292590128258452009-10-11T01:08:50.962-04:002009-10-11T01:08:50.962-04:00Players who should never see the field: 1) Bryan E...Players who should never see the field: 1) Bryan Evans. it is pretty clear that he just doesn't have it. Rambo should play until he gets tired. 2) Prince Miller. he gets burned almost as frequently as evans, and he can't make a tackle for his life. 3) Richard Samuel, unless he is playing LINEBACKER, his natural position. 4) Joe Cox- I can't really explain the Arkansas game other than that it came against a subpar defense and it was an aberration, but other than that, he has been mediocre at best. Without the option of just heaving the ball up to A.J., his stats would be miserable. He doesn't seem to have great feel for the position- he stares down the receiver he wants to go to every time.

This comes down on the coaching staff. I'm sick of hearing the "aw shucks, we recruited Crompton, he's a darn good qb" crap. Man up and realize your best friend has done a half-a$$ job and not using this talent to its potential. We made Crompton look like a Heisman candidate with his stats of 20-27, 310yds. <br /><br />It seems that it's been flipping a coin to decide which side is going to play hard, offense=heads, defense=tails. This week I think it must've landed on the edge and never completely rolled over either way. Richt is going to need to make some changes or he will go down with the entire ship. <br />Hats off to the players out there busting their asses and doing what the coaches tell them. I'm done hearing the "execution" excuse. I know there are times they need to execute better but when are they actually coaching this execution that the players supposedly lack? <br /><br />Richt mentioned his job being like a CEO once he made Bobo DC.

Has CMR taken this program as for as he can? Phillip Fulmer was a prime example of a coach taking his program as for as possible. He even had a MNC to go with his tenure. However, his program got stale and did not grow. Even after bringing in new coordinators, the program remained on a plateau and never really recovered from mediocrity. Looks as if Georgia’s program is doing the same. In a game where both teams’ offensive and defensive schemes were very similar, we were obviously out coached and this is just one of many this season. CWM is not the only problem. Our defensive linemen are underachieving, as well as the LB’s and secondary. It is a unit problem. We look a step slow – where’s the bulldogs team speed on defense – we built our reputation on speed and hardnosed defensive football, it is (slowly) evaporating each year. I can’t help but recall last year’s SEC coaches saying, “Georgia was soft up front”. Maybe we need to look at not just Willie but our recruiting coordinator also. Maybe it’s time for Damon to make some changes. While on recruiting, I continue to question why we don’t pursue and sign more white defensive recruits. We did sign a LB this year, but come on; does Coach Gardner recruit white athletes? A former Georgia coach told me, very, very rarely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-1393756528475290872009-10-10T20:20:26.643-04:002009-10-10T20:20:26.643-04:00Yes, Richt is an outstanding human being and (appa...Yes, Richt is an outstanding human being and (apparently) a fine Christian.<br /><br />But, I COULD CARE LESS if Richt is Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, or Muslim with a passion for football.<br /><br />I do care that he acts as a Head Coach. That he serves as a great example for this student athletes. That he teaches them that life is hard, that dedication to the task is the best work ethic, and each of us has to make hard decisions on occasion. That he makes the staff changes according to what is best for the program. That he makes those decisions base solely on performance of the individual staff member. That he brings no other factor into the decision process. <br /><br />That is Richt's job as Head Coach.<br /><br />Either he does his job or doesn't.<br /><br />How long would you last in your job if you did not manage your staff according to their performance??<br /><br />Here's a clue: You wouldn't last very long.<br /><br />I have all the respect in the world for Richt.

I have heard the rumor that NFL scouts are not impressed with UGA talent regarding their strength and fitness coming out of the program. I don't know if that's true, but I see why they say that. The OL gets no push off the ball on run blocking. Watch the Falcons OL tomorrow. They seem to have money riding on who can knock the most crap out of the opposing team. <br /><br />I am a Christian and am completely torn. I see CMR as a uniquely incredible man: strong family, strong morally, desiring to help these men in the game of life. I feel the problem comes in hiring "friends" as co-workers. Could you fire your friends? I mean, at least the ones who were already your friends when you hired them? I know coaches build relationships as they work together. But, man. I feel when CMR looks at Mike Bobo, he doesn't see an inept OC, he sees a father to 5 children, a husband to a wife, a friend. How do you fire that?<br /><br />I feel there needs to be fire to ice. I feel there needs to be a cleaning of the house and Willie needs to go, Bobo needs to go, Fab needs to go and Van Halanger needs to go. I know Coach Van is a great man (they probably all are good men) but we need to knock the lid off once again. I don't think the same guys who did it originally can do it again.
