Googled bvg and just don't know what to think about that guy. He prolly would have been a sec head coach if he had more sticktoitness. That guy has never stayed anywhere long. To be honest I just don't know what to think about the new uga assistant coaching staff who have bounced for so many years. Time will tell.

Got to reading about bvg and that led me to reading about Georgia southern. Didn't realize bvg and Paul Johnson had coached there. Bvg came in talking junk about the offense strategy under Johnson and then bvg was a flop. Pj called the school wanting to get gs on the navy schedule so he could kick bvgs azz. Kinda funny to me.

Erk Russell's son was an assistant coach for Gs and he was fired around this time. Er was pizzed and from what I can tell did not attend any more games and ended up with hard feelings. I really hated it ended this way for him.

I was curious what er's salary was and googled. There was a very nice si article that popped up from 1981ish. His salary at gs was a slight raise to 47k. Vd was offered a "lucrative" one million dollar five year contract from auburn around this time. He went from big time to a small time situation. They played in a hs stadium without a lot of "stuff". Also read the new coach make half mil salary.

Just interesting reading to me...

the very first HUGE coaching mistake made by MR. Very little doubt regarding VG's talent. It was his swagger, his personality that ran aground with his boss! I often wonder what might have occurred, had CMR not dismissed CVG.....And his replacement was mistake #2, in what would be a litany of epic failures to come...

Oddly enough, CMR book ended his career with similar firebrand DC's, the latter of which likely expedited the end of the CMR era.....THANKS Jeremy,....I only wish we could have kept you!!!

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!
