Recognize What Is Going On In Athens . . . .

Same applies to choosing coaches. Not sure there is a "proven formula" for that. If so, every D1 university in the country would be National Champions every season.

Some do a better job than others. That is not a news flash, by the same token, everyone else is a loser if they don't reach the top and win the National Championship.

We, speaking for myself, like the recruiting since we have had coaching changes in Athens.

You mention correctly that had grantham been here for another year, listening to what the players are saying at this point, we would be lucky to win 8 games. AM gone, granthem still here, that somehow does not make me want to jump up and down.

Can only imagine how well we would have done without AM in Athens last season. Some say he was the coach on the field. Cannot and do not disagree with that. Also I look at the same issue and say this . . . . AM was here for 5 years, what else is to be learned from his coaches? AM expanded his game by going to camps like the Manning's run. Along with AM's attendance at the Manning Camp, check the list of quarterbacks from around the nation playing D1 football that were in attendance.

I am still in the camp that says Mark Richt needs to do what he does best. Leave the on field coaching and play calling to those that do a better job than he does.

Mark Richt is a "peddler". He is a "closer". I do not believe he is a "football teacher". I believe that Mike Bobo is ready, I know that Jeremy Pruitt is ready.

Mark Richt/todd grantham for another season, chew on that.

CMR/Towel for another year rather drink battery acid same effect

Buc wrote: fire_dawg, not much doubt that Mark Richt was down to a point that "excuses" were not being accepted. Fan base, as indicated by butts in the seats left little doubt that change had to be made, whether him or someone else. Not that the higher ups would have released Richt.

With all that has been said about Pruitt since moving to Athens, this is the first thread that I have noticed pointing to Pruitt and his way of addressing our team in a way that I personally don't understand. That makes no difference, everyone has their view of Georgia football.

Anyone that played the game understands that there were always those that were never "satisfied". When I was in the Crash Crew, we had some that were like that. Just the nature of the beast. Football players this day and time are notorious for trying to be the BMOC. Have not heard many players on our defensive side of the ball that are still in Athens that have a problem with Pruitt and the way he addresses the team.

Been a while since you have been here. Lots of changes have been made, think most like the changes that management have made. Good to hear from you again, son has to be knee high to a grasshopper now . . . .

Yes sir!! He is WILD!! Just had his 2nd bday this past Saturday! No joke he is already tackling kids in his 2year old prek class! And he has great form and wrapping up! Lol my bro in law swears he is going to be a great LB one day....I'm trying to be humble lol but yes all is well around here just been doing some traveling this summer. I've been around here and there. Just forget to login sometimes lol

Think everyone in Athens is on board and that's a great thing! Really think some teams will really be surprised in a couple weeks about how well and far we have come with the amount of ppl we've lost.....at least I hope so!! Lol how's the family doing?

fire_dawg, some of the folks that I chat with off of the board are a bit wary as is ogredawg. Understandable. This scenario has been played out before. Remembering how grantham was going to be the "missing link". Missing grantham was, link he was not.

Much like what ogredawg said above, I am also a simple man, just talk a lot on the board. Don't believe that the players that left during the summer would have left had grantham remained. See where two of them ended up. In my mind, JHC was a football player, Shaq, not impressed with him at all. Truly a "me" person, Pruitt does not play that game. The only "me" on the defense is the group there now. Players want to play, one way to do that, and that has been laid out for them. Open ears, close mouth.

Family doing well, thanks for asking.

Terrible twos, have been through that a few times.

Fire_Dawg what's up man glad your boy doing good and the family.
