I am confused sadlerdawg, if we believe that Searels will be a good coach everywhere else he coaches, but didn't get it done at UGA, then what must be the reason behind him not getting it done.


I'm confused, AD5--this is my post on the subject--

I'm kind of torn on this one--on the one hand, I agree, the recruiting hasn't been about the big uglies, so he may not have had the greatest to work with. On the other hand, very few coaches are handed the "perfect" unit. That's what seperates the good coaches from the great ones--the great ones can get production out of the less than stellar units. I also read somewhere that he was the running game coordinator, or some title like that, and we know how well the running game has performed since Moreno left. As Savannahdawg said, maybe a new mindset is in order. Unfortunately, I think that is the case for more than just our O-line coach.

I didn't mention anything about how well or not he will do anywhere else, just that it doesn't appear that he is one of the "great ones" IMO. I said I think he may not have had the best recruits, but that a great one should be able to get production. He did not, so IMO, not a "great one", and Richt hired him, so the responsibility is on him. And Richt gave him the running game coordinator title, maybe that was too much on his plate to handle???

The SMART era CONTINUES!!!!!!

Haha. Nothing is backfiring on me. Richt did take his eye off the ball. I even said Richt is to blame for the people he hires and fires. Funny you talk about reading post. In my first post, made it clear that Richt is responsible for his assistants. That however doesn't give them a free pass in my mind. Searels was the coach of the O Line that under performed. Searels always seemed happy with Richt. It wasn't like we changed up scheme this year.

You can doubt my credentials all you want. If you think that each HC spends their time teaching technique you are very wrong, or spend 10% of their time with a position that is not their strength in individual period, than I have some bad news for you. Take a trip to any college. Ask if you could just sit in for a week. You would come to find out that the only time a HC is going to focus on the O Line is in 11 on 11, unless that is their calling to fame. Most of the time is gameplans are based on the input of the assistant coaches. A HC is not going to pay Searels the salary he gets to micro manage him. He was hired to run the O Line. That is his niche, not Rict's so I am guessing he received a lot of freedom.

If you want to give the success the offense had to Searels that is your choice. I don't really understand what point is being made with that. Everyone gets credit when things are going good. Funny how the only one seeing any real blame for the downfall is one man.

Richt does make the decisions in critical times. Was it wrong? You think so, and I agree with you. But the problem with the O line started well before that time. What happened in the first 12 games? What is the reason for poor play at times then?

I understand exactly what is being posted. Searels is a good coach. Had a terrible O Line that was supposed to be incredible, but it wasn't his problem. It was Richt's. Am I reading that wrong.

If you are saying that Richt is ultimately responsible, then I agree. Have even posted that. Never said Richt doesn't deserve some responsibility for the failures. He is the captain of the ship.

Kind of even like what you posted. MOST teams, head coach, and ASSISTANTS get together and make the game plan. Point exactly. They all are guilty.

All in all I believe everyone who have posted this topic agree with one thing. CMR just is not getting it done. Look, Searels will probably do a good job at his next stop in Austin. However he is largely to blame for the decline in OL play last year. BUT...one knows and has complete understanding of what his boss expects out of him. And if the boss is not burning the midnight oil, I can assure you that those beneath him will not be either. CMR can not expect his subordinates to outperform while he has obviously underperformed for whatever reason. He MUST set the bar high, outwork everyone, and then ask why is no one keeping up. I think the coaches under CMR have been able to keep up with little trouble and therefore the under performances around the team exist in abundance. I think the writing is on the wall and CMR will be gone after next year.

Sometimes people that post on these blogs, like me, are looking for recognition. Never accomplished anything in my life, so . . . . . here I am.

Best way for me to get noticed is to challenge, then members on the board line up and go to their respective corners.

Credentials are not checked, who knows past history of bloggers, just fall in line with what you believe, or want to believe, or want others to believe. If you want others to join with you, first rule is to be correct in what you are posting. If it happens to be garbage, then folks like BulldogShannon come up and call your hand. Hard to bluff on this board, there are many here that will call your hand. Be advised, this is not the FIRST! at the AJC.

If it were only a few on this board questioning what is going on in Athens that would be one thing. Think over the past year I have seen that number grow, not slowly, leaps and bounds. Not just here, check other sites, decide for ones self.

Now, it must be those of us that think we see some cracks in the dike should maybe turn our head, heaven forbid that we see the leak and put our finger in the hole or crack. We know that it will get better because the other side says that their way is the only way.

So here we go. Richt comes back next year and runs the table. If you think for a minute that you are going to be above me in excitement, again pal, you are wrong. If Richt comes back next season and bombs again . . . . . myself and others don't have to say a word. Words like . . . I told you so. Actions sometimes speak louder than words.

Next season is not going to be hard to judge, we are all aware of the "situation" at UGA. As some on this board have said, said in this thread, 8-4 won't do. Take a minute, digest that number and let me throw this out. We beat UF, AU, SC, GT, our losses come from other schools . . . does Richt remain, it is still 8-4. When we play with numbers we need to be very careful, NUMBERS ARE MISLEADING.

Really have nothing to do this afternoon, thought I would have some fun posting in this thread. Hope I haven't made too many folks mad, if I did, p on you. :)
