Game Day/UGA-Auburn

Many players shuffled in and out on the defensive side. Saw a couple of adjustments that Pruitt and Company made at halftime that seemed to get into Malzahn and Company's head.

Mention the above because halftime adjustments were rarely seen on either the offense or defense in previous years. Not just simple adjustments, adjustments that were effective, period.

The win against Auburn seals the deal for the head coach to remain in Athens. If Auburn had won, still believe those in power would have remained in the same lane.

Have read some remarks about Pruitt/Rocker and Company that were less than complimentary. Can't blame folks for that, we type what we think we see as individuals. Sometimes this system works.

This is the best group of defensive coaches that I have seen in Athens, ever. Remember I said group.

One coach that recently came on board should be getting a huge amount of credit. Mark Hocke, another of those that practiced coaching in Alabama. Game against Auburn proved that his way of training the troops works. Did not see the guys sucking air.

Extremely glad that Hocke moved to Athens, it will only get better as it does in service boot camps. Young folks come in and the older units chuckle a bit watching them trying to learn to march or do any of the drills required. They however get better, at that point they can mix with the more senior groups.

It is very important that Mark Richt stays out of the way. Truthfully he has been the disruption once the recruits come on board.

Know that I mentioned this sometime back.

The Athletic Director at Missouri has suggested that Gary Pinkel remain with the university, helping in areas other than the football field. Has been said by many that Richt is a good recruiter. I suggest again, if he is going to remain in Athens, use the plan above for him. Our head coach is not "playground sound". Proven over 15 years. He apparently is good in the living rooms . . . . that is his talent, use it as it should be used, properly.

Goose especially happy for you. Those of us down this way (Florida) got it handed to us . . . . again. Understanding football a little bit, Jim McElwain is head and shoulders above Mark Richt. McElwain is another of those that spent time in Tuscaloosa. Seems to be a pattern, eh.

Go Dawgs, players and some coaches have my respect for what was accomplished in Auburn, Alabama on 11/14/2015.

Went to the Auburn site listed below.

Some interesting stats.

Has been said here before . . . . teams around the SEC have caught on to Gus Malzahn. His slight of hand worked once upon a time, not nearly as much these days.

Barber brings out some very good points on why Gus decided to give up the running game for the passing game, such as it was.

I get pleasure winning against muschamp. Many of you on this board were not privy to the things he was saying about Georgia, all over the State of Florida when he became head coach of the gators.

Still believe that Malzahn and muschamp will knock heads before too long. Know that discontent is building against Gus Malzahn in Auburn football circles.

Bet this . . . . those in control of Auburn football will not hesitate to release Gus. Much different than the way hiring and firing is considered in Athens.

Interesting read from the Auburn side.

Appears some seem to think that Gus is not all that. Imagine that.

One Auburn poster even going so far to say that Auburn needs to learn a lesson or two from Alabama. Meaning team building. Auburn fans never admit to Alabama doing anything better in the State of Alabama.

Starting to compare the offense to the defense, will only add fuel to the fire that I believe is coming between Gus and Will.

Richt isn't gong anywhere.
His happiness over winning is probably more about keeping his paycheck than beating Auburn.
Other than the rivalry aspect, an irrelevant win between two irrelevant teams.

There is Alabama and everyone else.
Control the line of scrimmage. Very simple.
For a team that was supposed to have question marks, well, great coaches coach 'em up.
Kirby will be as good a head coach as Saban.
I truly believe that.

One more thing.
When Richt said he started Bauta to see if we could keep a secret, he is either an idiot or a Damn liar.
I think he's a Damn liar covering his ass.
He is no idiot.
But he is an incompetent, irrelevant semblance of a coach who will not give up his paycheck.

Resign coach.
Prove me wrong.
Let Georgia Football become relevant again.

So the brain trust at Auburn (Jacobs the money man) fired Gene Chizik and brought in Gus Malzahn. Jacobs and the Auburn faithful had thoughts Gus would bring his "genius" back to Auburn again, hence . . . . Head Coach. Without Cam Newton and some very good, ill tempered defensive linemen.

If we stop and take a quick look . . . . Gus as offensive coordinator had Cam Newton. If Mark Richt understood how to "properly evaluate football talent", Cam was and is a quarterback not a tight end. Could probably play the position well, but chose not to. Seems he was right, both (monetarily) and NFL future "continuing" to make the jack. Not being ugly, Cam's Father admitted to the money issue. Lots of preachers and good men also like money.

Auburn had Chizik, head coach, defensive minded head coach. Tracy Rocker actually controlling what needed to be done on his side of the ball.

Have mentioned on Dawgs.com that some athletic directors seem to think that they have to have offensive minds to win football games. Such has been the case in Athens for too long.

Want to win games in the SEC? Check what really good defenses do to really good offenses. Comparison . . . . check Alabama/Mississippi State yesterday.

I am a great believer in solid defense along with a serious offensive line. In my mind the combination of the two win games in the SEC.

At this point we have a former defensive coordinator who learned a lot under Nick Saban. He hired Rocker soon after taking the job in Athens. Recently have read where some think it is time for Pruitt/Rocker and Company who are not up to snuff to maybe take a hike. That would be those that remain on the Mark Richt "Bandwagon".

Fancy hires are usually just that . . . . fancy hires. Puts money in the vault. Don't need to say much more on that subject.

Defense looked much better against Auburn after the first touchdown. Offensively, read where Richt stepped up and called plays on the offensive side. Check the score, check the stats, have to agree without knowing . . . . Richt involved in play calling.

Defense wins football games in the SEC. Been that way forever. Mark Richt, punting is a defensive effort, most of the time. Head coaches like Nick Saban and a few others got the message a long time back.
