Looking for Change . . . .

yankeedawg1, there is no mistaking who Pruitt is addressing.

I sincerely believe that our program has been "patched" enough for far too long.

Here is hoping that what I think I see is "what" I see. It was time for our program to be handled by coaches that are not using "coach speak" to keep the turnstiles moving in the right direction.

In my opinion what has really turned college football around for "many" is the new format of a "final four". Not referring of course to basketball. Universities that don't find themselves in the "final four" will find themselves behind the "eight ball".

Recruiting from this year forward will make the past ever how many years look like "child play". Not making the final four will cost many universities a lot of the Disney media blitz that will occur . . . . this year (2014). Make book on that.

This is not meant to be ugly, just the way I see it.

Since BVG left Athens, for the most part, our defense has been a roller coaster ride. Attempts were made to make things better, but it did not happen. Remember, BVG left early after our head coaching change.

Mark Richt has finally come to the realization that he had to have the right coaches on the defensive side of the ball to move forward, and quite frankly to keep his job. Whether or not Pruitt and company are the "finger in the dike", yet to be played out.

Much is being said about Shaq leaving, noticed that "pouty" finally had something to say.

However, I did notice that Terry Godwin signed on as soon as the new defensive coaches found their way to the Classic City. Would be surprised if we don't see several commits before the 2015 recruits sign their LOI's.

Have some on this board that I consider to be friends, we do at this point have different ideas about Mike Bobo. From where I sit, Mike has moved forward, for some, including me, it probably took too long, but I am in Mike Bobo's camp. The players that I see coming to Athens because of Mike Bobo certainly point in a positive direction.

Easy for me to say that I think Bobo's shortcoming has been the offensive line. A positive that I don't hear a lot about is Mike Bobo and Jeremy Pruitt becoming fast friends, with many of the same thoughts on how our team should be run. That has been missing throughout the Mark Richt tenure. Remember, I said this is what "I" think.

Wonder how many that think Mike Bobo is not the answer on the offense would like to see him on the Auburn or Alabama or any other SEC schools list of coaches? Not me.

Back to the defense. One damn thing is for sure . . . . Jeremy Pruitt/Tracy Rocker will "correct" many of the mistakes that were made before them.

Slowly but surely we understand some of the moves that are going on.

Uriah LeMay will probably end up with his brother.

Easy enough to see why Brendan Langley is moving from defense to offense.

Still have some players that will "probably" leave UGA. Beginning to understand the "long silence" on the check cashing scheme.

Said not too long after this (check cashing) happened, best to release these young men. Meaning, these young men might get the message and move on, and improve who they are. Smart . . . . "they ain't". Maybe this will be the wakeup call.

If we (UGA) is going to hold young football players to a certain standard . . . . that needs to be "understood" in the living room.

Maybe this "stuff" is the beginning of UGA getting the program under control.

Too many of the blogs that I read complain about the tough policies that UGA has, compared to other SEC universities. Most of those complaining, in my opinion, have a brain about the size of a split pea.

Soon there are going to be some changes in players receiving some "spending money". Like it or not, it will happen, just as the "final four" football teams playing for the Crystal did. Final four will soon, maybe two or three years become final 6 or 8. Stipends are on the way, only way that Emmert can continue to make over one million dollars a year. I said that.

There is a lot going on in football, again it appears it takes the "real season" for anyone to chirp. Lots of things "outside" of the practice field and regular season that mean much to college football.

Like what I see going on. Scared? Nope. Said above in another post, it was time. UGA it appears figured out that change was needed. Might take a while, but any person looking for real change wants to see the "end result".

Players like Terry Godwin are heading our way. He can play either way, and frankly, as a high school receiver, better than some that are currently wearing the Red and Black.

Stay on course, truly believe the light has gone on. :)

This video shows why both "offensive and defensive" players choose to leave.

Many here have stated they will wait until they see the spoken about changes on the field

That's fine however,

looking at what has happened since CJP and crew arrived you will see more than just

Window dressing changes.

Players being held accountable. If you are not on board with the program exit stage right

Opens a scholarship for someone who does

Looking at what has transpired. No question why CNS trusted CJP

Also why he is coaching DB's. Needs to fix the weakest link does not pass that off

Takes it head on. Speaks of leadership by example

Go Dawgs

Go Dawgs!
