CJP is heads and tails better than what we had. I know it, and the players know it.
He can't however single-handedly change the complacent and lethargic, ho-hum golly gee whiz attitude that Mark Richt causes to permeate the entire program.
I now have a theory that by every UGA's player 3rd year under Richt, they realize he will get out coached and wet the bed at least twice every season. Knowing that, it's a rare breed that still shows up and gives it 100% every game **coughAaronMurraycough**.
See this thing known as desire to win... that thing that some are born with that just makes them winners that HATE to lose... that
thing is something Mark Richt wasn't born with. He also thinks there is a lot more to life than winning, and that an attitude of hating to lose is a bad thing that keeps them from a life of spiritual fulfillness. So when these young men show up on our campus, if they have any of that in them he proceeds to drill it out of them as sure as a DI drills a recruit into obeying orders without question. He probably starts on day 1 with a training video called "the Georgia way - Why winning it all isn't important".
So anyway.... CJP is great.. It's just hard to tell sometime when you're under Mark Richt.
God Bless and Go Dawgs
