Hines Ward

Hines ward was on a local radio program this morning. He said he played golf with Richt (did not mention how long ago).

He said flat out that he told CMR that when he retired he would love to be on his coaching staff as a WR coach.

Now, Richt. I'm not the smartest man in the room, but do you need me to spell it out for you?

1. Your WR's would finally learn toughness, discipline, a mean streak, how to block, and how to catch.

2. Can you imagine this dude with 2-3 Super Bowl rings sitting in a skill player's living room?


CMR, stop having former RB's coaching our WR's. If the Steelers win the SB, I believe Ward may retire. If he does, it's this simple: Ward should be our WR coach in 2011, and be the highest paid WR coach in the country.

While you are at it, fire Bobo, and hire Ralph Fiedgen as OC. This guy was the offensive version of Van Gorder when he was at Tech: he makes adjustments on the fly.

You want to shake it up? You want new sizzle at UGA? You want publicity? Make these moves.

Good Morning BulldogShannon. Excellent post. Little background. Hines and I attended the same high school. Forest Park High School. Both played the same position, quarterback. Hines got that football scholarship to UGA, obviously I did not.

Know a little bit about Hines. He has never forgotten where he came from and the people that he grew up with. Bad ass on the field, pussy cat off. Very sincere, respectful, honest to a fault.

Your point on Hines coming to UGA to coach, Brother that would insure that many young players would be standing in line to attend. On this board we sometimes discuss Smart, Muschamp and others. Hines Ward being one of us would make an outstanding coach. If he indeed made mention to Richt that he would come home, there should not be a second thought on that decision.

Hines has backbone. Remember him calling Rothlessssssberger out a couple years back, that was not for show, Hines believes in doing it right.

Another thing that Hines did that impressed me. He and his Mother made their way back to her homeland of Korea. Hines wanted to do that. Growing up there was some conflict in his life being his Mom and Dad were not of the same race. In Korea he was not only welcomed, he was given the grand tour.

Great suggestions in your post.

I like that idea BulldogShannon. Ward would be a very good. Not only would he be a great, hard nosed coach. Could you imagine how he would help in recruiting? Nothing like a future Hall member showing up at kids houses.

Yeah, but CMR is probably too dumb to see that AllDawg:)

Hey, let him be WR coach 2 years, OC three years, then head Coach. Hell, he played QB/RB/WR at UGA-he knows offense.

Love the idea. Love his toughness. Some have called him the biggest "cheap shot artist" in the NFL......I prefer to look at it as most WR's just don't block well or even care to. Hines sticks his nose in the mix until the whistle. Gotta love it. Not only does he know how to run routes but I think he's more of a "sandlot" player in that he can improvise to get open for his QB......think AM might like THAT a little bit?????......I think so.

You have it right in my opinion wlayton. Remember . . . keep your head on a swivel, never know where Hines might be lurking.
