Win or Lose - Our Head Coach and OC Suck.

“Blair Walsh kicks a 42-yard field goal and we’re sitting here feeling great about ourselves,” McGarity said. “But would we have solved our running game problem? No. Would that have solved them being able to go on an 85-yard drive with no timeouts? No. So, I mean, the dynamics haven’t changed. It’s not going to matter diddly-squat when we start lifting weights in three weeks. If anything it’ll add more incentive for next year.”

Kinda says it all.

Actually it kinda of contradicts everything Richt said before the bowl about setting the tone for spring ball and next season. Hmmm maybe we have been giving McGarity too much credit?

I think you missed McGarity's point. I think he's right on with what many posters here have said. What I read in his comment is this: the outcome of that field goal wouldn't have changed the fact that the O-line and RBs did not perform. The defense did not hold a team that was inside it's own 20 with no time outs and less than 2 minutes in the game. His point is that - as this thread title states - win or lose, we have issues.

bulldawg36869, I think what McGarity is saying is that even if Walsh makes that FG, we have obvious deficiencies that MUST be addressed.

If I'm wrong about what he meant, then we don't have any hope until Richt, Bobo AND McGarity are gone. I think I'm right in my interpretation.

with you on that Thriller.

Alldawg5: my apologies too if I got carried away (it's happened once or twice before:))

Heck, we are all passionate dawgs and from time to time it will come out.

Ok, I'll take your word from it. I read it as another Richt type statement trying to make a positive spin on a loss.

I guess just once I would like to hear hey we have some issues(well documented) and we are gonna do this and that to correct it. I have heard many a great coach say we are doing this or that incorrectly or we gotta learn to this..in other words . they took the responsibility. Not this stay the course, blah blah crap.

Nothing has changed and that is the most frustrating thing for me.

No kidding, bulldawg36869, you'll get no argument from me on that. Biggest O-line in ALL of football and we can't gain ONE yard up the middle. It's a sad state of the Bulldog Nation.

..and don't forget it's not just size...

Senior Ben Jones who many say should have been a first team All American..
Legit NFL prospect Cordy Glenn at LT
Justin Anderson at RT, who the line coach says is a helluva player as well...
Legit NFL prospect TE

Not just a bunch of talentless fat...

No matter that they are the biggest if the center and guards have a problem using the proper technique on a play like that where you need to add the weight and strength of each other to create force, the more experienced players on the defense win pretty easily. Once these guys get the technique down and start to work together as a unit they should be really effective in those short yardage situations, now to find a good center to replace BJ.
