For the past few days I have tried to hold back posting, I have lurked on this forum like I do everyday, but I wanted to clear my head on where this team stands this year.
One thing that has opened my eyes is that the game has passed Mark Richt. Anyone can go back to last year when I was supporting him, saying give him another chance blah blah blah, even remind the jokes we shared about an "island". I do not care if we win out the rest of the year or not this coacing staff has to go. How many times have we watched our dogs come into a game unprepared? or how about how they will get down 2 or 3 scores and quit? How many times have we watched other teams with succesful coaches come in and completely surpass a coach that is in his 12th season at Georgia.
Perfect example : Will Muschamp. he came into Florida and in ONE year has built it up to be a contender again for the east. Many of our fan base is happy with the fact that Georgia can and should win 9 to 10 games a season. NOT ME! I unfortunately wasnt alive when Georgia won their last national, I have seen the game ofcourse, but I cannot brag about a national that happened 30 some odd years ago. We have had a coach that has had SO MUCH talent pass through Athens and for what? to settle for 9, 10, 11 win seasons? Then to make matters worse i read where Richt says "it was only one game its not the end of the world." hes right ofcourse it is one game, but it is a game that we flat out got embarrassed in and THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE BEEN EMBARRASSED ON A NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAME EITHER.
I'm starting to see what many on this board have been preaching for a LONG time. Richt is great at whooping up on cupcakes, but when it comes to making us relevant for a national title, he isnt even on the radar, no where close actually. Last saturday we showed no fire, no passion for winning, our defense took the old bend and break method, our offensive line completely caved in on itself, and our coaches showed once again how they will never EVER lead us to a national championship.
In short, get kirby on the phone. I am quite frankly tired of seeing this team fall flat on its ass in big games. with the talent we have in athens, we should be giving bama a run for their money.
