yankeedawg1, I too believe that Pruitt has changed some of the thinking in Athens. Say again, thank you Coach Will Friend.
I have posted this video before, will do so again for good measure. I belong to the group that believes in "Stand Up Guys". I also believe that the entire defensive staff is loaded with stand up guys, along with our S&C leader, Mark Hocke.
Pruitt comes out to "face the music" after the JAX game. Don't hear a lot of excuses, like I heard from our head coach in the videos above. At some point there has to be recognition of our team having a hard time of it with teams rated in the top 25 and coming to a realization that much has been wrong in Athens for too long. Do I believe we are moving forward, yes. Am I one that trusts Mark Richt to make decisions different than some I have seen thus far, no. Spent more time this past week looking at the teams we win against, and the ones that cause us problems. At this point, being true to myself, we have not had the leadership needed to win against the better teams consistently.
I hope, like most UGA folks that we are seeing change that will actually "change" what has gone on before.
