Aubuurn Game Day Thread

Probably shouldn't have mentioned honesty at all. Poor choice of words.
Suffice to say, he is stubborn to a fault.

Honestly, watching the game again, I saw fire in CMR that I haven't seen since.... Well, I have never seen that side of him. It was refreshing, but too late.

I watched the game over up to the last minute yesterday. My thoughts. Offense looked bad in the first half. They did, but it is hard to establish much rhythm when you don't have the ball. Defense just got truly dominated. Going over all 3 phases of the game, only 1 area was missing. Guess we all know what area that was.

Kept hearing that aub. would make a play on special teams. They didn't. Our special teams were pretty dang good, especially kickoff coverage. Our offense found their rhythm in the 2nd half. Our defense, well.. Just haven't seen a D this bad in awhile. Coaching sure. We are catching instead of attacking. Saw numerous plays where guys are waiting on the play to get to them. Not attacking playing on heals and waiting to make the tackle. 2 problems with that. 1. You are more than likely going to get embarrassed , which we did. 2. You elimnate options for cutting by attacking and closing the gap. Cut down operating space when you attack. We were waiting, hoping to not make a mistake.

That is why it is time for CTG and CMR to hit the road. CTG for instilling that in the defense, and Richt for letting it go on. I watched the USC-Stan game Saturday night. Anyone watch how USC played defense in that game? Yeah, they made some mistakes, but they were flying around playing inspired football. Oregeron is not a good coach, but his guys play fast, very physical, and have fun doing it. We are not doing any of the 3 on that side of the ball.

Bring on Kirby. Also watched bama game. They play similar to usc, but better and more disciplined. They never see a formation or scenario that they haven't been prepared for.

GO DAWGS. Aaron Murray, I can't say enough about you. I walked in the office this morning, which is in Knoxville, and every co-worker commented on how tough and talented you are. You made every viewer not wearing orange and blue a Dawg fan for over 2 hours. Diehard vol fans told me they were jumping up and down when scored the last TD. That is special.

I believe CMR is a honest man.

Also believe none of us would just "walk away" from the job. Those above him will have to make that decision.....that is WHY you sign contracts with buyout clauses....protections are in place for all involved. All parties agreed to the contract so just because CMR doesn't walk away, I certainly don't think that would imply he wasn't being an honest man.

If I've been successful for many years and have a few years that was down a bit, I sure as heck wouldn't walk away....and I consider myself honest to a fault. My mindset would be if I've been near the top levels before, I could do it again.....competitive people have that mindset.

To head off an argument, I'm NOT backing CMR to stay, I also feel change is needed, but who would walk away from a premier job, whether in sports, an attorney or any other profession??

Real easy for us "to say" but certainly not realistic imo.

In my business, I can't afford off years. An electrician wires a panel wrong, the house burns down. The plumber misses a solder joint, the house floods. The carpenters are incompetent, a strong wind blows it away. I am only as good as my last job.

True.....but you wouldn't walk away from your profession....neither would I.

Honesty is a strong character trait that is irrelevant to him walking away....nobody in America would walk away including the both of us.[/quo

sadler, don't know what you walked away from but you are a much bigger man than me to walk away from $3+ million a year job that you love doing just to please the fan base and keep my honesty tag in place.

Wasn't my point in the 1st place.

Not really sure what exactly you're saying here, so I'll do us both a favor and just drop it.

MR's outburst reminded me of "I know what the hell I'm doing!"

Yes... it's nice to see fire, but do you know what side of Richt I would like to see?

His backside as he's headed out of town.


I would have like to have seen the side of him that can win a SEC title again, but I've given up on that one.

Be glad to drop it.

My "original" point was re-addressed and most graciously re-stated by averagedawg....that I AGREED with.
