Fire Willie Martinez

I am writing this with 5 minutes left in the Kentucky game. Whether we win or lose, we must fire Willie Martinez after the game or at the end of the season.

This makes the THIRD STRAIGHT GAME in which opponents have scored at least 38 points. Has that ever happened? It's the fourth game this season.

If we lose this game, it will make the fifth game under CWM where we have scored 30 points and still lost. Under Brian Van Gorder, we never lost a game in which we scored at least 18 points. Compare those stats, if you will.

This is sickening. This is NOT the way a Georgia team is supposed to play defense. Period. I'm done forgiving the guy. I don't care if he holds Tech, Auburn and our bowl opponent to a combined total of 10 points. He's FIRED. FIRED. FIRED.

Red and Black, Win or Lose

I have been trying to be conservative with the fire WM rhetoric but at this point I have to agree.

The D is soft. We are fortunate our offense is playing lights out this season.

Go Dawgs!!!!

Well said Dapolla and I am usually one to get on here and defend coaches to the end, but you are absolutely right. My exact words at least 12 times during this game were, \"Martinez has to go\"! Along with some other choice words not suitable for our forum.

How can yall say that about poor poor willie... that was a top 5 team we played today with exceptional talent. I mean they had been in the top 5 recruiting classes the last 5 years. Outstanding players and coaching staff. OK, I've woken up from my delusional out-of-mind nap. I agree he must go, I've been saying that ever since the Auburn game in 04!! I cringe every time he rushes 3 and drops 8. I'd love to have some of those tickets to watch the game from the sidelines, but I'm afraid I'd whack poor ol willie with a wiffle ball bat after every stupid call he makes. He'd need to coach wearing a helmet!!!

Unfortunately I agree. I usually try to denounce the \"fire the coach\" plan, but i think in this case its needed. I have stuck by Coach Martinez for a while now, but there comes a time when you have to do something different. Coach Martinez REFUSES to play man coverage. If we had dropped a safety into the box and played man against Bama, LSU, and today against Kentucky, they would not have been able to move the ball. LSU has no pass offense, Kentucky's longest pass came to a tight end in the fourth qtr.. besides that it was a 5 yard hitch. Against Bama, we would have been better to stop the run and could have played much closer. As for Florida... I hate to say it, but they are just better than us right now. He insists on playing cover 2 zone. We have the tallent to play man coverage. We could have played man and spy the KY quarterback and they wouldn't have been able to score 17! Im sick of watching our INCREDIBLY tallented defense wasted on a week cover 2 zone that doesn't work because we are too small up the middle to make it work! WE ARE A SMALL, BUT FAST DEFENSE! Teams can gash us up the middle if we just play conservative! If we had Mount Cody we it would be different! We have great tackles, but by most accounts, they are undersized... but fast! We need to formulate a defense to utilize the speed and depth we have at our defensive positions, and that isn't to sit back in cover 2.

How many players who were starters before game 1 are not on the field right now?
