Its amazing how easily some folks forget what UGA was before Richt got here. Ray Goff anybody? Yes, we had a poor season. I'll take one every 10 years. And our poor season still had 8 wins. Oh no, how tough!! We went for the best coordinators in football in the best possible situations..and they listened. Just think, Kirby Smart is the DC of the national champions and likely number 1 team next year. And let's be honest, there is no reason to make a lateral move from DC of Bama to DC of UGA. Then you have Bud Foster. He has been there for what seems like 20 years. What makes you think he's going to leave Frank Beamer now that he's actually close to retiring. Then Jon Chavis. At Tennessee for 20 years then moved to LSU just last year after Fulmer left. So he obviously isn't one to just up and move. And he has just as much talent to work with at LSU. It is NOT embarrassing to be turned down by the DCs of three of the best programs in the country with the most well known defenses. Its more embarrassing to not even try. If you're looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend, do you go straight to the one that's actually in your league or do you shoot for the stars and see if you get lucky. And in the case of Kirby Smart, you have to try the girl from your neighborhood that blossomed late. Maybe she had a crush on you before she became the sexy pick. Mark will still make the right hire for this team and continue to be the right coach for this team. And if you disagree, then please...go be a Georgia Tech fan.

Richt won't comment, so yes, there's some wiggle room, but the sources I have on Koenning's end are impeccable and there were serious discussions with Georgia. <br /><br />And the end result was not that he got more money -- he signed with Illinois for exactly what they were offering him before the Georgia discussions. The problem was that he wanted to come to Georgia but had already agreed to go to Illinois when Richt finally made a serious push.<br /><br />I'll be happy to retract all of that if Richt wants to offer a firm denial of it, but he hasn't and the information I have is extraordinarily credible.David Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872368286061273646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-70613619023354317982010-01-12T11:06:02.975-05:002010-01-12T11:06:02.975-05:00I'll believe Koening was officially offered wh...I'll believe Koening was officially offered when I believe Jerry Glanville was officially offered.<br /><br />Got to believe his agent pulled that stunt to get more money.

Now, it may nto take quite that much to wrangle in DeRuyter, it just needs to be a good bit hire then what A&M will offer to make it appealing to come to Athens and get "over" being our 4th or 5th choice.<br /><br />(of course, he maybe the first coach in the history of Football without ANY ego and not care that we went publicly after 4 guys before him).<br /><br />Please, Richt, Evans, go after TIM DERUYTER. <br /><br />(and not to mention the fact that Todd Grantham & Travis Jones are STILL COACHING in the NFL Playoffs and neither would even be available till earliest Sunday evening).Dawgs97noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-10850588480144146302010-01-12T10:33:56.337-05:002010-01-12T10:33:56.337-05:00Even if KS had no intentions of leaving Bama why w...Even if KS had no intentions of leaving Bama why wouldn't he act interested in the Georgia job?<br />It was an easy way to double his salary.

The only part of it that galls me is that Saban announced it. It sounds like he would have taken any move personally, like Richt was trying to steal his girlfriend, and that was his way of saying,"Look, Richt, she doesn't like you . . . she likes me." [To complete the metaphor, imagine Saban slamming the door to his GTO, and laying a patch of rubber as he peels out of the high school parking lot with Smart in the passenger seat.]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827319003346222886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-79714025441029135652010-01-12T09:55:20.818-05:002010-01-12T09:55:20.818-05:00Joe Whitt, JR.Joe Whitt, JR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-7099643306192853212010-01-12T09:54:10.829-05:002010-01-12T09:54:10.829-05:00Why UGA should NOT make an offer to Todd Grantham ...Why UGA should NOT make an offer to Todd Grantham (Dallas Cowboys Defensive Line Coach).<br /><br />He was fired on January 11, 2008 after the 2007 season with the Brown's defense ranking 25th against the pass, 27th against the run, and dead last in total-yards-against among 32 teams.<br /><br />While it is true that Grantham is doing an adequate job at present, Georgia's had more than enough inconsistent defensive coaches.<br /><br />I agree with some others who have stated that our best bet at this time is Tim DeRuyter.
