Thats not always the case under WM the opponents points per game have been steadily going up every year.

I'm hearing a lot of emotion that isn't based on fact.

The 2006 defense would have been in the top 10 scoring IF the 2006 offense hadn't been so bad. Before this year that's an average of top 15, and even given this year that's an average of top 27. One bad year scoring wise, but the D is still in the top 1/4th of defenses in the country over the past 4.

Y'all call want WM fired if you want. I can't change your minds. But if that is what you want it should be based on fact and not emotion, and certainly not on just the last two games.

I can tell you, though, that firing coaches and hiring new ones is a tricky thing. It doesn't always turn out for the better, even times when it seems like a lock that it should. Think about it.

By your own stats, doesn't that show a decline in defense? What are the opponents points per game for each of those years.. IMO thats the stat that loses you games not the amount of yards they gain. I mean if the other team has 500 yards on you but only 10 points, then your offense isn't climbing a hill the entire game. Once they score a substantial amount on you, your running game becomes nearly void.

RxCowboy, I don't know where you are getting your stats on the D, but I would be interested to know how they stack up against the Vol defenses in those years?

I am not a Vols fan, but Chavous has been the only assistant on that team getting anything out of his players this year.

Mute point anyway, CMR is not going to let CWM go.

The 13th-ranked Bulldogs are 63rd in the nation in scoring defense at 24.9 points per game after their 42-38 win at Kentucky. Among SEC teams, only Arkansas is worse!

Georgia hasn't ranked lower than 20th nationally in scoring defense in Richt's seven previous seasons with Brian VanGorder and now Willie Martinez as defensive coordinator.

First of all, UGA is an elite enough program that our D should be consistently in the top 5, at least then top 10 every year. South Carolina's D is 3rd in the country and 1 or 2 in just about every category in the SEC.....what about their DC?

Forget Muschamp, we had our chance a year or 2 ago....he's moving on to a HCing job now.

I agree on Muschamp but maybe we can get someoene that had been woring underneath him or something? I just think that if theya re to make a change then it needs to be someone much MUCH more aggresive!
