Real Change Required

This young man is a Redshirt Freshman. Have followed him since he left South Florida. Understand that he had some arm problems, but that has been solved and Faton Bauta is fine.

Think I was close to right when I said AM would do well. Also said that Ramik Wilson was special, currently leading the UGA team in tackles.

What bothers me is this . . . . Here we have a young man that many in the college football world would love to have. Compare his talent with Brendan Douglas below. Look similar? Will Faton Bauta die on the vine?

For a long period of time we have posted on this board about talent that somehow never finds its way to the playing field. This is the reason we need a change at the top. Talent evaluation once these young men are on campus leave a lot to be desired.

Be reminded that Nick Marshall, yes he of the "sticky fingers" is now running the Auburn offense. What happened? Simply in my view, brought a coach in to run the program that understands "talent". Remember Marshall was going to be a defensive back at Georgia. Reminds me of a quarterback in the NFL that wanted to be a quarterback, Georgia coaches appraisal of the young man . . . . tightend. Young man ends up with a National Championship ring and first round #1 pick in the NFL. What more needs to be said?

Many on this board and others in the Bulldog Nation are "blinded" during the offseason. I wore that crown not that long ago. Anyone looking at the 2014 Recruits? Incredible amount of talent . . . . what happens to this group. Nick Saban remains in Tuscaloosa, or takes over at Texas. Whatever he wants. UGA, win x amount of games. Time for a change, and I think that change should be Kirby Smart, or Charlie Strong.

Back to this . . . . Both of these young men played offense and defense. Scratching my head . . . . McGarity, your boss at Florida is up to his butt in alligators. Bulldogs are known to have locked jaws. Just saying.

Just another of many deficiencies with this collection of buffoons....errrr, I mean "coaching" staff.

sadlerdawg, would not be surprised to see Faton Bauta transfer. Several universities in the SEC would love to have him, and he would play.

You're probably right, Buc. Wouldn't surprise me either.

sadlerdawg, found Nick Saban's recent comments interesting. Some like to say that they have heard this before, true dat. If Saban sticks to what he says in the link below, I believe he will. Appears to me that Georgia will have an excellent opportunity to bring Kirby Smart back to Athens. Saban knows that Smart is ready to take on a larger role than defensive coordinator, true dat.

With Nick Saban's latest statement, mahogany row in Athens had better look long and hard as to whether they want one of the "hottest" young coaches in the country. Guarantee is that a major D1 university will jump on Smart in a flash. Smart will do as advised by Saban . . . . no lateral move.

Can see Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo on the same side, again. Recruiting would be off of the charts. That would be Saban's biggest downfall, meaning Smart returning to Georgia.

Just tossing stuff around in my head again.

Edit: Kirby Smart, Russ needs you. Can't run this show by himself.

I could live with that. Would love Kirby. Been very critical of Bobo over the years. Have seen improvement, and I'm not sure how much richt's desire to live and die by the pro set may have affected Bobo. As we all know, there have been some years we did NOT have the personnel to make a pro set 100% effective, but richt's unwillingness to change reared it's ugly head.
