Gonna Love It!!!

Actually sadlerdawg, I've stated the same thing.....if he doesn't beat UF, he's done.......BUT I have to admit, you've gotta have the players as well or it is STILL a moot point.

Even Saban, as great a coach as he is, has to have great players. Hard to make steak using hamburger.

Guess it's a "catch 22" situation.....kinda.

BUT, wlayton, Richt HAS had the players. I think that's been proven time and again. I feel pretty confident that the players aren't the problem.
True, you can't make steak using hamburger, but you can ruin a steak during preparaion.

My two cents worth come to this. Stafford picked number one. AJ Green picked number four. Marino I think was picked ten. Lots of football talent has come and gone and we don't have a lot to show for it.

My thinking is that the operations manager somewhere along the line forgot how to run the operation, or had the football plate too full. We all make choices, and those choices affect a lot of folks. If you are the supposed head of a football factory, every Saturday you have close to 100,000 card holders looking at the product between the Hedges. That number does not come close to those that have been in the stadium many, many times, but now sit on the sidelines, better known as television.

Appears all that participate regularly on this board have set dates for improvement, more or less. Right, wrong or otherwise, there comes a time when you, the operations manager can't ask for another year.

There is a reason that Boise State is in the top ten football teams according to the ratings out so far. Coach Peterson. Coach Peterson is taking athletes without stars, or few stars and coaching them up.

There is a reason that Alabama is always in the top ten. Saban gets those four and five star athletes to play football, he coaches them up.

Just a couple of thoughts. Maybe all of us are in for a surprise with our football team this season. I like surprises, especially at my age. . . . .

I'm agreeing with you.

What I meant by my BUT was it is very possible that if CMR is gone, UGA may not get the players they've been getting. Do believe a bunch of these players are coming to UGA are coming ONLY because of CMR. Like it or not, he is one of the best recruiters in the country......and McGarity knows that.

So, do you get lesser players with better coaches or do you want great players with average coaches. I say get the great players and just get rid of Bobo.......problem might just be solved.

I guess we could go round and round for hours, wlayton. My point is, without Richt, yes, maybe we don't get particular players. But that doesn't mean the coach we bring in will necessarily get WORSE players. To be sure, different coaches pursue different players, and a coach besides Richt, depending on who it is, could realistically get more, and better players, and be a better coach. (and bring in a better offensive coordinator--win, win, IMO.)

Certainly can't argue any particular side. Last few months I, too, have demanded we beat UF, win the east etc etc. Just after what happened Friday night, it kinda makes you think a little bit and believe McGarity will to. What happened last Friday on the recruitment front was beyond believable.....to my knowledge, this has never happened. Those 3 guys are all 5 star players committing 2 years early??.....pretty amazing.

I'm certainly not going to try to convince or sway you in any direction...your mind is made up about CMR.

Here's what I think and what I think will happen. McGarity recognizes CMR's strengths in recruiting. If CMR can change the offensive coaching side of the ball to mirror the excellent coaches on the defensive side of the ball, we will win and win big. That being said, the bottom line to me then is to get rid of Bobo and hire a first class OC. Great coaches on the offensive side of the ball along with great coaches on the defensive side. With CMR fueling these great coaches with great recruits and let them coach them up, I believe the puzzle pieces would be in place.

That is my prediction on McGarity's direction he's going to take. The D is done and in good shape.....just one big hole to fill on the offensive side and that's the OC.

If CMR supplying great players to solid great coaches on D AND offense doesn't work then fire them all.

Yep believe McGarity will go that route first before firing CMR, that's why I stated earlier that with this "coup" Friday, CMR will be given 2-3 more years.....Bobo gotta Gogo to make it work though and McGarity knows it.

My prediction for McGarity.......Bobo will be gone and replaced by a great OC, great recruits coming in, already great D coaches ='s 2-3 more years with CMR. If that doesn't work then CMR is gone no doubt would be left then in McGarity's mind.
