Aubuurn Game Day Thread

I'd start a petition to get rid of tg(grantham),if I thought it would do any good, except I would'nt want to be the blame for getting someone even worse. Believe it would be hard to find anybody who seems to be less concerned or convinced that they need to do something different. Maybe a week straight of Junkyard Dawg film clips over and over would do the trick, make mr watch 'em too.......

Buc, you are correct Bama did have an off week. I would actually say an awful week. They had many turnovers, and just looked down right pathetic offensively. Not the only time they have done it. Surprisingly, they have had quite a few bad games that they end up winning because they have found the key to consistent success. A great defense.

I know many believe CMR is out of it and a bad coach. I believe the man still has a great offensive mind. Only problem is, great offensive minds don't cut it in the SEC. I believe Bobo is a extension of Mark Richt just like I believe Smart is a clone of Saban. Not a bad thing for either Bobo or Smart both are very good at what they do. Believe Bobo will be successful for quite sometime, just like I believe Smart will be. Problem is a great defense will compete with anybody every week. There is nothing wrong with having a great offense, but you better have a great defense if you are ever going to compete for titles in this league.

If we turned the ball over that many times against Miss St., we would have been beaten by 20. We rip Bobo for only scoring 30pts a game. Bama considers 30pts a guaranteed win 99% of the time.

Bring in Smart before its too late.

GO DAWGS

might as well say blah blah blah

Ok folks, follow me through on this one. Let us call it coaching 101. Thanks for lighting me up again 36869.

mark richt said:

Richt was also asked about the defensive play call on Auburn's final touchdown, the 73-yard pass, tipped by Georgia safety Josh Harvey-Clemons and then caught by Auburn's Ricardo Louis. Georgia went with a three-man rush on the fourth-and-18 play, after seeing Auburn in mass protection before a timeout. Richt said it was the right call, just not executed properly."I didn't want to reduce the game, we didn't want to reduce the game to just a one-on-one shot," Richt said, alluding to single coverage. "Even if they got a first down they still had a ways to go with only 36 seconds to get into field goal range. They still had to make the kick. ... We could end it with a sack, or pressure, something like that, but you could also get in a situation where the quarterback could lay it out there for a one-one-one shot and possibly get a touchdown.

mark richt, absolutely the dumbest single statement that any head coach could possibly make. Excuse me . . . . what did Nick Marshall do??? Did he not lay it out there as you said above??? Not only did he initially have one-on-one that you were so against and agreeing with grantham's call, had a second safety come to help.

What you did was cut down on the "possibilities" and "odds" of Nick Marshall and his "mass protection" having more bodies to deal with. First year Auburn is in this high school coach's regime and the Georgia head coach and his defensive coordinator want to lay this on JHC for trying to block or intercept the pass . . . . I call BS. If JHC does not get involved in the play, who is to say that the receiver would not have either caught the ball or taken it away from our "freshman safety"? Ball was up for grabs, period.

Second string quarterback all of his life at three locations, head coach at Georgia . . . . offensive lineman for VaTech defensive coordinator. Neither seem to understand defensive football. Been around too long, it is not me, we have brought "dumb and dumber" together, again.

mark richt should not act as if he made the defensive call, if as he said above "I" "we", then he is not being "honest". Since grantham has been in Athens, he has not needed the "stamp of approval" from richt. More than one time this season he has said that todd grantham makes the calls on the defensive side. Not surprising, todd grantham the final points on the board just serve to show how totally incompetent you are.

Bobby Bowden did not call the defensive schemes at FSU, Mickey Andrews did that. See a pattern. I do. mark richt is the smiley face at the University of Georgia. Again, good in living rooms, not great or we would not be losing so much in state talent to those folks across the Chattahoochee. See how it goes with the huge amount of talent graduating high school in Georgia this year.

McGarity, soon you will be faced with the same thing that the folks at FSU were faced with. Supposedly you took away all of the "unnecessary" things that mark richt was doing prior to your arrival. Explain our 6-4 season at this point to me McGarity. You tried to show us (I guess) how tough you are by releasing our Baseball Coach. Not so tough when it comes to "lay-it-out-there mark richt". You and Mahogany Row continue to mail, call and ask us for "money". Beginning with Vanderbilt, you lost my family's chunk until I see a return on investment.

AllDawgs5, somehow I think that Mike Bobo has moved ahead of the head coach in play calling. Really believe that he has been helped along the way, he however reminds me of someone that really wants to break out and cast his own shadow. I am pretty sure I have seen some of that.

I do believe that Bobo was the mind that changed the way we played after halftime against Auburn. I do know that Mike Bobo and AM are very close, that comes from some of the folks in Tampa that hear things that the media does not.

You are again so right about defensive football and the SEC. You said and I will always be in agreement with this . . . . . Problem is a great defense will compete with anybody every week. There is nothing wrong with having a great offense, but you better have a great defense if you are ever going to compete for titles in this league.

Smartest move that Gus Malzahn could have and did make was hiring Ellis Johnson. Proves that Gus knows he can move the football, but as you said, someone has to stop the other guy. Gus understands that, and it will serve him well. Auburn will see results of the brain trust they now have on offense and defense. Lots of talent around the tri-state area and they will get their share playing like they are now. Another thing that we know for sure . . . . money will never be a problem on the Plains. I don't say that as a slant, soon the NCAA will be gone or totally ineffective and the college game will be changed entirely.

Another thing that you said that is spot on, any way we look at it . . . . Smart comes to Athens, we don't worry about a head coach leaving and losing our ability to recruit, if anything, it will improve. I say that because it is like simple math. Start building a great defense as you mentioned, that would be from day one, and Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia would never look back.

While many would not agree on this board, I would like to see Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo hook up. That would be two coaches working in unison, best friends, best friends with "football knowledge" and recruiting partners practically unparalleled in Deep South Football.

That combo could be reached except for one thing . . . . will leave that alone, have shouted enough tonight.

I'm serious when I say that I really feel the players have been short changed when it comes to the coaching staff as it relates to the DC and HC. It is evident to me when I see the players perform at such different levels in the same game. I would think it was a fluke except that it has become a trait of the Georgia Bulldogs over the last decade to squirm themselves into such a hole and then have to fight like hell to get out of it. We've been very lucky to be able to hang with some of the teams we've been playing. I'm not telling you guys anything you dont already know,but I've grown really tired of this crap and wish that somebody would rub the lamp so the genie could pop out and we would get our three wishes,a new DC, a Special teams Coach,and a Head Coach with a backbone.

Just ONE wish, growl----a new head coach. The other two will take care of themselves after that happens.
