OSD:
1) Brian Van Gorder left because he was a damn good DC and got offered an NFL job that he knew would lead to a head coaching position, which is what he always wanted.
2) Only Kirby Smart can get Kirby Smart to Athens. If he doesn't want to come to UGA, I don't want him at UGA.
3) The basketball program has been a non-factor in SEC play since 1990. The real person at fault behind the decline of the basketball program is Michael Adams, who hired his buddy Jim Harrick (and son) over the objections of Vince Dooley and dozens of others, on the grounds that (wait for it...) he would WRECK THE BASKETBALL PROGRAM. So what did we have? Basketball players who didn't have to go to class, who had homework done for them, and who probably raped young women. And you're worried about SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament appearances?
4) By the way, it was under Evans that UGA won its first SEC Tournament since 1983. Just saying.
5) Under Evans, the Gym Dawgs have won five straight National Titles.
6) Under Evans, the Equestrian team has flourished and won two national titles, placing second twice.
7) Under Evans, Men's Tennis has won three national titles (2 ITA, 1 NCAA)
8) Women's Golf, Men's Golf and Women's Tennis have continued to flourish.
9) And oh yeah, the head of the Swimming & Diving program under Damon Evans was chosen to coach the US National Team.
10) Not to mention the 2005 SEC Championship in football, the unbelievable 2007 season, and the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Also under Damon Evans' watch.
You're right. What has Damon Evans done since he became AD?
