Mettenberger Gone!!

Yes Buc - interesting article

Other schools have problems as well - sometimes ours have been too high - the only problem I have had with CMR is that I think he's too soft - think he's a lot like CBB of FSU - they want to mentor these boys and have them be successfull (I'm guessing that ZM would not have fallen into the group that need a lot of mentoring - but he still made a big mistake) - while I admire him for doing that - he is CEO of a football program that must generate large sums of money to operate a large sports program - FOOTBALL makes the big profit - you just hope other sports pay for themselves or generate some profit

Although we do not know yet the full story of the AM situation yet - I'm sure we will - you can't keep anything a secret much any more.

I suspect that CTG may be begining to have more of a influence on the discipline attitude - he and his assistants seem to have the fair but tough approach - you make too many or big mistakes - you probably will not be playing - not the tap on the hand when you misbehave but the snatch a knot on your head - well that may be a bit too strong - but you get my drift

CMR needs to be more tough - its' ok to beat the snot out of another team - you get to play a lot of guys - never know you might have a sleeper you didn't know you had

I admire CMR a lot and think he's done a lot for our program - it's time to move to the next level

I also admire CMR for making this tough decision, but I am just really worried now about next season. Really bad timing coming off last season , I really wished they would have got AM some playing time after the Fla game last yr. He looks like he could have used it. CMR really needs to get involved with his Q.B.s now more than ever. I hope AM dosent get comfortable now that ZM is gone, competition breeds success. Not saying AM will not be ah good QB. I am just saying he needs ALOT more work. He better be ready for S.C. cause you know CSS is loving this.

OSD, can promise you that AM will not drop his guard. Seen too much of this young man, he is very intense, a winner. This is not the way that a young fellow with the character of AM wanted this to play out. He is a competitor and all will see that this season.

As far as SS goes, he has his problems with his QB's. His starter came out of the Tampa area and has not produced as some thought he would. He also had some baggage prior to South Carolina and after he arrived on campus.

We can never have too much depth, but that applies to all programs that are successful. AM and the Dawgs will be ready for SS and his visor. SS is going to get a taste of the 3/4 that ate his butt up in the NFL. Three maybe four interceptions in Columbia, mark those words.

The good news is AM is a self motivated kid. My sources say that all he does is study film, listen intently to his coaches, leads by example and is a wonderful kid. AJ really endorsed AM a few weeks ago saying that he has extaordinary leadership skills and that he WORKS constantly to get better and better. AJ believes he's the real deal.....that's good enough for me.

RabunDog, ZM's removal will give the others plenty to think about over the summer. The final step in many changes needed at UGA has occured.

UGA at one time was known as the \"Party School of the South\" and there is nothing wrong with having a good time. However, there is a \"time and place\" for all things.

Believe that Coach Richt has finally broken the cord that has caused many UGA supporters much consternation.

Coach Bowden never did break the cord and we all saw what finally happened to him. Coach Bowden was/is a good man, he however never totally took the bull by the horns. Coach Richt is not a dummy, handwriting was on the wall and CMR finally crossed over.

If I played on the defensive side of the ball, don't think I would try the patience of the coaches that are gathered in Athens now.

The message has been sent by the Headmaster, about time. Go Dawgs!!

Thanks wlayton. As you said, I'm sure things are pretty hush, hush right now. Everything will come out in the wash. Feel bad for his family having to go through this.
