There comes a time when we start at the beginning and take UGA football to where it is.
Coach Richt came on board and had a lot of wins. Never the "Big One". The wins were against teams that were equal or slightly less than equal to our program.
Time went by, coaches left, coaches were hired and appointed. This is a beginning, the "beginning of the end".
Coach Mark Richt is the man that hired WM. I can no longer call Bobo coach anymore, he is simply MB to me from now on. When anyone of us is called for a promotion, usually that is because we have earned that right. If in Coach Mark Richt's judgment MB was to be promoted to OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, there is no doubt in my mind that CMR's judgment in coaching talent leaves a lot to be desired. Coach Mark Richt took this program from the top of the Dow Jones to bankruptcy.
Coach Mark Richt is the man that has the final say on who gets a football scholarship. These are his players. Players like Caleb King that is on a full ride, and never sees the field. Hope he puts his nose in the books, he will never play a down on Sunday. At the beginning of this year all talking heads said that we have a good (not great) one, two combination at running back. What happened to what all of the "experts" predicted. One guess here, coaching.
Since KM left, this coaching staff has not had a clue. When KM was here, not allowed to play as a freshman. Coaching, and who is the head coach, the leader, Mark Richt.
We have been told that we have top 5, top 10, top 15 recruiting classes for several years now. What has happened to all of that talent? I say coaching.
As an example of coaching . . . Saban makes 4 or more million per year. What do the folks in Alabama get for that, you know.
Coach Richt gets 2 or more million per year. What do the folks that support UGA get . . . we know, we witnessed it again today.
Formula makes sense to me, best coaches are paid twice the amount for a reason.
Joe "Pa" comes down from Pennslyvania and gets it handed to him. Coach "Get Out Of Town Petrino" comes in from Podunk Arkansas and hands it to Coach Richt.
Coach Richt at this point, and I have mentioned it before, recently, has taken on the characteristics of Coach Bobby Bowden. Many winning years, then the problems start, athletes and coaches become a little too full of themselves.
The end of this regime is fast closing in on the way this program is and has been run for the past five years. When you have to have a meeting with your players on the sideline of game day in the later portion of the game, SORRY SOMETHING IS MISSING. That is taken care of earlier in the week, called preparation. My wife understands football better than a lot of folks that profess to . . . My wife called the meeting "A Come To Jesus Meeting". I am a God fearing man, but I could do no more than agree with her. I called it a "Camp Ground Meeting".
Much more could and will be said by me. Sorry if it stinks, it stinks. With the "supposed" athletes that we have on campus, someone has to explain to me why COACH RICHT does not get more out of them as a TEAM.
One point for reflection . . . why do we not use splits on the offensive line? Coaching.
Not good folks, maybe time for a big change, not just a single coach change.
