Having some thoughts about the 2015 Season and years past.
Seem to remember quarterback “situations” that were not “situations then" as I watch the “going's on now”.
Gazing over the past, seems that most on this board and many others started having problems with “decision making” at the quarterback position soon after Mike Bobo was given the keys to the offensive side of the ball. Could not help but notice that Bobo hired one of his quarterbacks to his staff in Colorado. Joe Cox, Graduate Assistant.
The Richt/Bobo years were filled with “honoring longevity” not talent at the position level.
Anyone remember Knowshon Moreno? Not a quarterback, definitely the best at his position. The University of Georgia coaching staff, was primarily a staff that did not “recognize” talent to the fullest extent. Everyone that played with Mareno understood that the talented young man should have started, and instead . . . . a Redshirt.
Again the time of year when the Public Relations Group have swayed the “faithful” in the direction of “erasing” the sins of the past.
This group of new coaches have definitely changed some of the thinking in Athens. I say that because of this . . . .
Now we have a head coach that has changed “his way” of approaching playing time. Following the old rule, the Richt/Bobo Rule, the player with the most time at a position would start, regardless of talent.
Not to be fooled.
Coaches on both sides of the ball do not align with the Richt/Bobo/grantham Rule.
So, what has changed . . . . Mark Richt. It has been covered up by the PR Group effectively, but the change was implemented when a “serious group” of coaches moved to Athens. They play and coach and teach by a different set of rules.
Needed for many years.
If I have put someones "fire in the belly out for the 2015 Season" . . . . Check the history of UGA Football recently, looking at how playing time was handled. Answers are there.
Buc, a lot has changed in the past year plus at UGA. I'm even hearing that Richt has more intensity and little pep in his step this year. There is a lot of "believing" within the program right now.
