FIRE 'EM ALL

Fire them all.

No fire. No discipline. Poorly coached.

I disagree. Black was fine for a color but we should have worn something blue as well. Black and Blue would have been appropriate after that thumping.

The instant that I saw the team run onto the field (via my TV set of course), I recoiled with disgust. I didn't particularly like the color scheme, but of course, that was not and is not the point. CMR did that for motivational purposes. And, I agree with you, we should not have to do that, especially for Florida. But if you are going to try something like that, you do it from a position of strength, not weakness. We were weak before the game, that is no time to try something like that for motivation. Just does not sit well. Makes you look like a fool. Don't we look foolish enough on the field?

Man, you play a Florida, an Alabama (or just watch them play other teams), and you see what a real football team looks like. They are all far from perfect of course, but they are quite well-disciplined and do not continually, continually, continually shoot themselves in the feets. wlayton, Buc, do your feet hurt? Mine are killing me! I have holes in both feet, and gangrene appears to be setting in. I am beginning to wonder if our coaching woes are not deeper than CWM. I wonder........

DawgSpeare, I have never been this frustrated with our team. A few of the coaches prior to Coach Richt drove me nuts, but you somehow knew that they were not long for UGA. The way Coach Richt has handled (mishandled) this group of athletes apparently through the assistant coaches, leads me to believe that he has lost control of the program. I did not say totally lost control of the program, but judging from the last couple of years, the UGA Football Program has not progressed. There have to be reasons for that and from what I can garner from all that I read, and see, it has more to do with teaching these young men how to move from high school football to college football.

The program sits squarely in the lap of Coach Richt, he must be the decision maker, that is his job. When the stadium is empty, folks have returned home, television sets turned off, Coach Richt still has the obligation of Head Football Coach at UGA. His job never ends, he has no time clock, it all comes back to Coach Richt.

I look at Coach Strong at UF. He has been through a lot in his time on campus there. Many tough lessons from more than one head coach. He learned his trade, applied it, and now he wears rings that all college players and coaches wish for.

In our case, we have a defensive coach that apparently has not learned his trade or applied it, but somehow has made his way through the available qualified coaches to hold the job that he now has. Someone please explain to me what qualifications that WM had/has that allows him to continue at UGA.

The following is an article that I think pretty much sums up the feelings of many, not just this board, many . . . .


The Agony Of UGA Football

As a Dawgs fan, it has been a long season already. The systemic failures of this team are a textbook case of what happens with poor coaching and team morale. Aside from the performances of a few individual players, the Georgia Bulldogs look to all the world, like a third world nation on the verge of implosion.

As a Dawgs fan, you may rest assured that those words you just read, did not come easily or frivolously. They are not the result of mere vanity or poor sportsmanship. They are from the heart of someone who feels the painful slice of this blade of honesty that cuts both ways.

But, it is just a game, right? We can just as easily now go back to our lives knowing that this minor hiccup will not mean anything beyond the score of a contest that is one of many that has already come and many yet to come (Deep breath!).

Well, that is what I told myself before sitting to bang out this postmortem. And for a few brief moments, it did help. It reminded me that I really do have more important things to worry about in life than a sport. As a further reminder, I hugged my wife and emailed my kids to remind them that Pop was okay, after all.

But it was all a pretty big lie, too.
I bleed red and black and when the Dawgs suffer, I suffer. I just can’t help it. I am as much a victim of the problem that has sent this once elite SEC team to the depths of hell as anyone else. So, you will have to forgive me if I am blunt in my assessments and final opinion.

1. Defensive coordinator Willie Martinez must go; Period.

2. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is a nice guy but, we need a real coach here;sorry.

3. Continued rumors surrounding AD Damon Evans handcuffing Coach Richt are indeed still unsubstantiated, so far as I can tell anyway, but still, the rumors are troubling. This man’s tenure began with the sacking of Coach Dooley and has gone downhill ever since.

The Georgia Bulldogs are, just as Florida Coach Meyer stated, one of the most talented teams in the nation. The question of ‘why’ they don’t show that on the field is one that eludes us in all, but speculation and opinion.

Personally, I have all the trust and confidence in the world for Coach Mark Richt, but even in this child’s game, there is a point when the howls of the Bulldog Nation must be heard.

I can only hope that once this nightmare season passes, Coach Richt will clean house and bring in some genuine coaching talent to match that of his boys in uniform

Buc, could not have put it any better. You and a few others do some great post with losts of meaning and facts. It is hard when you live and breathe UGA and we can see the continued downfall of our program. It hurts and it makes you mad, and sure as some say so what we have one bad season under CMR after 8 years, well with the talent we have I say bull to that. You can only make so many excusses, and if this be the case, then why can sports people, coaches, ect see the problem yet other can't.

Dawgs forever
