A serious question

If anyone does reply to that, I'm pretty sure I know what they'll say. They've been saying the same for the past 3 to 4 years.
To Be honest though, I really don't want to read it. It's so nauseating now that just thinking about it while making this reply made me throw up a little bit in my mouth.

I should probably just stay off the boards until my blood pressure comes down.

Sadlerdawg,

I won't defend CMR in any manner, shape or form. But if you'll indulge a rant...

I think Mark Richt at Georgia has the Tony Dungy syndrome when he was in Tampa Bay; he has simply reached his maximum potential limit to coach these teams beyond where they're going. There were a lot of fans in Tampa Bay that were furious over the firing of Dungy because of his community involvement and good Christian values. But when the Glazers hired Jon Gruden who won a Super Bowl the very next season, not only did they look like geniuses, but they also proved two very good points: (A.) Dungy had reached his limit in Tampa Bay and (B.) it's not about the cult of personality of the coach, it's about championships. For whatever reason(s), Dungy couldn't get it done in Tampa Bay. For whatever reason(s), CMR cannot get it done in Georgia. And the longer this hemorrhaging continues, the longer this team is going to exemplify and celebrate mediocrity.

There's no shortage of people out there that love CMR, think he's a great face for the program. But what seems to get lost in the shuffle here is what a really great face for the program looks like: a face that demands and wins national titles. Something I've never, ever sensed out of CMR is the urgency to win championships. Nowhere in that muted, subdued, gentle personality have I ever sniffed out any desire to get down to the blood, sweat and tears of winning a national title.

This team and its fans have gone far beyond giving this coach the benefit of the doubt. I don't see how anyone in their right mind can continue to defend Richt & Co.

sadlerdawg, good question, and one that needs to be answered.

Stayed away from posting last night as what I witnessed was worse that what I saw against Tennessee '07, and that damn near drove me crazier than I profess to be.

Not sure, but think it was ogredawg sometime back that made the comment that players take on the personality of their coaches. Last night we saw two different coaching styles, Spurrier vs Richt and for the third time in three years . . . . evident which side is getting the job done.

Staying on that thought for a minute. When Richt called the team together to begin the fourth quarter, the camera angle had Grantham in the lens. Grantham did not move his lips, stone cold faced. That is not the same Todd Grantham that came to the University of Georgia from Dallas. He came to us ready to go to war.

What happened to that coach? I have my thoughts. Most of the thoughts go back to his superiors calling him down for the Florida and Vandy incidents. This coach came to Athens to coach football not continue on the same path of losing games like this encounter with South Carolina. One can bet that Florida or South Carolina never got on Spurrier about throwing his visor to the turf in disgust. Some things do not need to be "messed" with.

I am probably as disgusted or close to being as disgusted as some on this board. Do not agree that everyone on the coaching staff needs to find a new place of residence.

sadlerdawg this is where you and I have agreed on more than one occasion. The Captain barks the orders on a ship, thought that Richt had reached or came close to that point since being releived of the extra duties he carried under the previous Athletic Director. Watching last nights game, carrying the extra load under Evans and having the load removed by McGarity has not changed the outcome of UGA football.

My opinion, time for McGarity to step up and take "total control". Patch work did not work, and will only get worse with losses such as this one. I sure as heck don't want four more years of this.

sadlerdawg you make another excellent point. Losing a game is one thing, hands on hips and accepting defeat, won't flush.

One person that has stayed true to his beliefs on this board . . . . kentdaddy. Has not wavered like myself and some others.

Willing to debate this issue. Turn this over to Todd Grantham and let's see what UGA football can do. That is only if the "Blue Bloods" will remove his nozzle.

Folks, Florida is getting better by the day. Their quarterback runs the ball as good or better than the quarterback we just faced in Columbia. Also has a big time arm. Muschamp started slow, but with the talent he has recruited in the coming group, nothing short of awesome. Pease running the Boise State offense in Florida, don't know how many folks watched Florida/LSU, goes to show what imagination can do when performed correctly.

Sad day today. Watch the uncommited players and maybe some of the commits.

SouthernDawg, you know of what you speak. Sounds as if you were around in the days of Tony Dungy, I was. The example that you draw between Dungy and Richt is a perfect example of what happened in Tampa, and now Athens.

The best case- Tennessee fires Dooley and they take Richt-- that way we continue to beat them bad every year!!
