Rebuilding UGA Football

Buc, Listened a little to what the new AD at Tennessee had to say about his coaches.
To summarize, basically win or else.
Regardless of what Adams or Dooley have to say, I don't see the Georgia base putting up with much more losing.

averagedawg, the time has come when coaches either win, lose close games because of some simple thing that happens on the field, but are always in the game. Much has changed not only in the past 40 or 50 years, football has changed an enormous amount in the last 5 to 10 years.

Gone are the days when a coach or coaches could pretty much shrug their shoulders and tell the folks that support the cause that things will get better. Better is not like it was some years back . . . . Better is right now.

So much is placed at the players feet, some of it belongs there. Too much gets passed off to the players when in truth it is the coaches that are totally at fault, or as the article above mentions, the administrations fault.

Notice that Adams is out with his hat in his hand, asking the UGA students to fill their seats. I can remember and it was not that long ago the kids at UGA looked forward to UGA football between the Hedges. Sorry, don't get that feeling . . . . at this point. The administration knows this now and all of the talk in the media and among bloggers like us have a way of getting "snooties" attention. Snooty is Adams and some of his hires.

Been said on this site more than once . . . . keep an eye on the empty seats, sure sign of dollars lost.

I have yet to have this question answered to my satisfaction and you have asked this question averagedawg more than once. What happened to UGA Football and why? I have heard all of the supposed know-it-alls say that it is cyclical. That answer and a dime once upon a time would buy you a cup of coffee.

Personally, see what I think are some positive things happening in Athens, also see some things that should have been changed many years back. Maybe we need to dial "Bucky" up, he has an answer for everything, a cure for NOTHING.

Just finished watching the Herschel Walker Story again. What an incredible man, someone who still gives the University of Georgia the credit for his success.

Herschel's way is the way back to rebuilding UGA Football.

I wish he was our strength and conditioning coach, because he's a freaking beast even at age 48.

I guarantee you we could have suited him up against Boise and he would have been sucking much
less wind than anyone else was that day.

Buc, I wish more than anything I could have seen HW play. Missed him by a couple of years. My Dad says he is still the best college running back he had ever seen. From what I have seen, I have to agree.

Now, back to what happened to UGA football. I have felt better about watching this team more than I did last year. Have they improved? I don't know yet. I do think they are playing harder, and faster. I don't know if cyclical is the word I would use, but I don't really care who you are, you are going to have down years. I hear Peterson alot. He is a great coach, but honestly, what coach could not win 10 games playing the schedule he does. Now, look at coaches from the power conferences. Look at your so called elite coaches, Stoops, Mack Brown, Carroll, um. They have all had down years. Saban hasn't had one at bama, but he will. I will agree uga football has been on a down slope for the last couple of years, but besides the bsu game, I have like what I have seen. I don't like losing, but I feel we played well against usc. I even like the coaching that game. I know I will be ripped for that, but please don't feel I am fighting for Richt to hang around. Like I said earlier, I am going to see how the rest of the year plays out.

I will say this, and I hope this makes sense. I was not around in the days of UGA dominance. We had some good teams, and some great players, but not the success Richt has had. I never saw a conference championship until Richt. We went 20 years without a SEC title. He has 2. Had he had the same luck as Miles, he would have probably had a shot at a NC. LSU won it with 2 losses.

I will just be honest, I just don't know if I want our HC gone. Something inside me believes he is a good football coach. Won't speak for Bobo. He has some real boneheaded moments.

Not really trying to make an argument for Richt, cause I totally understand where the frustration is coming from. I guess I am just a confused Dawg when it comes to our coaching situation.

GO DAWGS. Take the fight to ole miss, and crush their spirits early and often.

If you have not seen this particular video, interesting. Particularly the Florida dude, although he made a lot of sense.
