A Realistic View -- UGA Football

McGarity comes on board in 2010.

Georgia at that point was rated by most being in the top two or three college programs.

McGarity, closing out year 2014, Georgia is now ranked 8th.

Think maybe football being "messed" with is beginning to show the "real picture"?

More to come and your Public Relations folks don't present numbers/standings like the ones in the article below for "fans/supporters" to read. Can't hide from the truth, sir. More to butts in the seats support than is being shown. More to come.

I did not know Bobo offered Bryan McClendon a job I'm glad he stayed still would of liked for him to of had a chance at OC but oh well.

Well here's the pay increase:

Total compensation for each is as follows ...

Rocker $500,000 (up from $300,000)
McClendon $350,000 (up from $235,000)

---

Schottenheimer $950,000
Sale $400,000

Defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt, as previously announced, is now at $1.3 million (up from $850,000)

Schottenheimer's total is substantially more than the $575,000 Mike Bobo made as offensive coordinator last season, while former offensive line coach Will Friend was listed at $300,000 before joining Bobo at Colorado State.

Other returning assistant coaches were not mentioned in Georgia's list, but here were last season's figures for each ...

Tony Ball $260,000
Mike Ekeler $250,000
John Lilly $235,000
Kevin Sherrer $200,000

As it stands now, Georgia's entire staff is now making roughly $4.45 million. That total would have ranked fourth nationally and third in the SEC last season, according to USA Today's assistant coach database (though salaries will change for all schools in the coming year).

Additionally, new strength coach Mark Hocke will make $200,000. Assistant Aaron Feld will make $60,000, while Kelin Johnson's salary as a full-time strength assistant is $40,000.

New director of player development Todd Hartley will have a salary of $150,000.

Come from 24/7 sports

DSW, interesting that McClendon's new salary arrangement has not been posted. No doubt that Bryan already knows the bottom line. Did not take McGarity long to release Pruitt's 1.3 million number.

Just the thought of the "Dynamic Duo" remaining in Athens for several years makes it hard for old folks like me to entertain thoughts of playing on an equal basis with those that have proven themselves capable more than "once". Not sure we have a chance when the final four becomes the final eight with Richt/McGarity.

Say that for this reason . . . . I have witnessed the results of the two working together (supposedly) and now the only folks we are hearing anything from are the Public Relations folks. Check that, the big money donors are probably getting emails that are provided for the privileged. We know that was the case not too many weeks back.

Will add this. If Bryan McClendon's salary does not top McGarity's, some of "us" will have something to say. Bet that.

Whatever the bottom line for Richt is, I am more interested in the buy out.
