We need Vangorder Back!!!!!

Combined with the fact that nobody on Georgia campus can get along with BVG, wlayton, you're right on the money. BVG reminds me of Leo Mazzone...widely renowned as a pitching genius, but he'll never come back to the Braves because everyone there hates him. I think it's the same way with VanGorder.

Here's who I want to throw literally ALL of the coaching salary at, in no particular order:

- Kirby Smart
- Charlie Strong
- Tommy Tuberville
- John Chavis
- Jon Tenuta

Throw money at them. Print money for them. GET THEM TO ATHENS. Somebody has to coach these boys up, or it's going to be another few years of wandering in the desert...

You'll notice I didn't include Will Muschamp...that's kind of because we hung 30 and 37 on him in his last two years at Auburn, and he DID coach in the defense-free zone that was the Big 12 South last year...so I'm not impressed by anything save his UGA diploma...

dapolla,

As per usual, you're right on. This is what sickens me the most is that we're not seeing these kids coached up. Excuses can (and have been) made about injuries or youth or giant rats biting players but at the end of the day, coaches are paid to do just that: coach. When CMR says \"we're gonna be watching game film this week\" I just shake my head. Look, those coaches are AT THE DAMN GAME! They know what went on, they know the weaknesses that need to be addressed. Game film isn't going to cure those problems - coaching is. And if at the end of the day those players habitually aren't doing what they're coached to do, then find someone and slap a jersey on them that will; as we've seen in the stellar recruiting classes, there's no shortage of players wanting to don the Bulldog uniform.

I'm sure I'll draw fire on here for this statement, but there is ZERO excuse with the talent this ball team has for us to have underachieved so fantastically in the past two seasons.

I love CMR and I also believe he is smart enough to know how this system works in football. The faithful will only be patient for so long in the face of a glaringly obvious problem. Football is always and has always been a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately game. Just ask Bobby Bowden. Is it fair? Probably not, but I didn't make the rules.

BVG and CMR clashed like oil and water...True while BVG was here, he brought back much of the JYD swagger that we all long for, but the inner coaching climate was not healthy and I suspect CMR \"allowed\" BVG to leave before he was shown the door....Dapolla's analogy is spot on...and I believe that period was referred to as a \"cancer\" growing in the program....

I've also read numerous posts querying why CMR hasn't retaken the OC reigns from CMB...UUhhhh,...has everyone forgotten a few years back when many outspoken critics called for CMR's head when HE was the OC???....

At the risk of being labeled a \"sunshine pumper\", I'll concede that much is needed to fix what is broken with our defense, but our problems are NOT entirely the defense's fault. When a brand, spanking new HC can say he looks forward to playing UGA, because he knows what to expect from them (us).....That, IMVHO, speaks volumes about our vanilla play calling. We are predictable and put NO FEAR in ANYONE! Think about it,...two years ago Stafford and Moreno had their coming out party...Moreno offered the ignition for Staffords cannon and most teams, including UF, faultered...The next year?!?!?....Same plays,...much different results!...This year, same plays, and other than AJ no real play makers have stepped up, particularly at RB, we become predictable, one dimensional, and as demonstrated Saturday, easily embarrassed!..Yes,...in the SEC, defense wins football games,..but not with an impotent offense!

So while we make lists of potential replacements on one side, we must be willing to consider the other side as well. Likewise, forget Charlie Strong, unless you are offering him the HC job. Charlie has already paid he's dues and will have a fist full of jewelry before he takes the most logical, next step......But the thought is certainly interesting..........


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