Game Day/WLOCP

Richt, the AD, the administration, all losers.
We fans are the biggest losers of all.

The ones I really feel sorry for are the players who have to buy into this crap.

Wartdawg, understandable the hiring of Schottenheimer. First, no NFL offers. The NFL now has a "history" in the "suspense file" on Schottenheimer.

Richt needed someone as close to a clone of himself as he could get. Did not want to go through some of his previous hires that did not want to link up with him. Saban and others "speak" football folks "listen". McElwain in the past few weeks has mentioned Saban and what he learned in Tuscaloosa.

Moving along, going to say this, first time for me. What is going on with Rocker and the defensive line? I believe in allowing "time", especially if improvement is noted. Here again we mention "next year". Problem with that . . . . our head coach has had "14 next years" not counting his first year. Games like the one yesterday don't really help with recruiting defensive linemen (and others).

Reason I mention Rocker, the gators hired a new defensive group. Proves the point that "coaching and motivation" play a huge part in outcomes. Not going to dismiss Pruitt either, he is responsible for the defensive alignments, something ain't right. Beginning to wonder if we are seeing more ACC type defenses as compared to SEC defenses.

Think most of us felt the new hires had really changed the recruiting at Georgia. AJC was loaded with recruit talk. There was a noticeable upturn in young in state players buying into another heavily promoted media campaign. Mentioned earlier in the week, and it has been said by many, many others . . . . what happens to that talent in Athens? What happens with the talent that select Alabama as their team of choice? Can't argue statistics unless . . . . you are "still" a believer in a Mark Richt coached(?) football team.

Going to be surprised if Richt does not lose his "base support" or a large percentage of his support after his dismal showing in 2014 and maybe surpassed in 2015.

Folks, I have a pretty good handle on what is happening in Florida and once again Jeremy Foley "corrected, say again CORRECTED" his mistake of hiring muschamp. The Florida "base" is on fire, not good for the East Side of the SEC. His recruiting is not based on one strong armed quarterback. I said that.

Alabama, Tennessee and Florida thus far, anyone wondering whether or not we lose two or more in 2015?

Public Relations Group has its work cut out for now. There will be enough apologists to get things calmed down with "next year" chatter. Will also be interesting to me what McGarity has to say in the near future. Said he reads emails . . . . wonder how many he answers? My opinion, another hiring failure, McGarity.

Stop with this . . . . If Faton Bauta does not start next game, shows the total incompetence of the head coach. 33 passes from a running quarterback with a noodle arm, my my who and why should we question a 4 million dollar plus head coach and close to a million dollar offensive coordinator. Must be the players, right? BS.

Bauta was hung out to dry.

Yes he was, and I didn't see anything noodle about that arm, off target but not weak. I agree with you he should be starting next week.

It's not just the players and it's not just the coaches. It's the entire program.

Richt has a bunch of individual pieces... no cohesive team.

We are a collection of parts that might look okay as they sit by themselves but they don't fit together as a unit.

Good coaches take a bunch of pieces and put them together in such a way that the sum total is more than the individual pieces added up.

Mark Richt does the opposite. He has somehow taken pieces that should add up to 90 and put them together so their sum total together is 48.

He can only recruit individual pieces, not a team. He's like the Johnny Cash song about stealing the Cadillac one piece at a time. He goes to put it all together and finds out the bolts between the engine and transmission don't line up and his car only has one tail fin. Two headlights on one side and only one on the other. The only difference is when he turns on the switch all 3 do NOT turn on.

He can not improvise... he can not motivate. He can not put together a group of players or
coaches that become a cohesive unit and he takes no responsibility for any of it. When asked why he does something, he doesn't even know why. Ask him why we didn't use a game plan that played to FB's strengths and his answer in record is "I don't know". Ask him why we've had huge special teams problems for years and years and how we're going to fix it and he says "I don't know". He's even completely separated himself from the issues addressing them as if he's some 3rd party observer just as frustrated and powerless to do anything about it as the rest of us.

I'm at the point that I hope we lose every game going forward until he is fired. I hope recruits turn tail and run from him until the people who hold his fate in their hands wake up and realize he has lost complete control and is comatose at the wheel.

This program has fallen much farther than their 5-3 record indicates, and it's time those above him wake up and smell the burnt coffee.

I laugh out loud when I hear people say they are worried about the chaos and turmoil that might occur if we replace this incompetent rudderless so called leader.... turmoil and chaos? years of disappointment?

What the hell do they think they are witnessing now and have been witnessing for the past several years?

We are in the 2nd longest drought of an SEC championship in the history of our entire program. We are setting records for offensive ineptitude that haven't been equaled in 50 years.

I saw an article that asked are we beginning to see the end of the Richt era... and I just laughed. The Richt era is long dead and buried.. it's just that the fools that support him and are responsible for sending him a paycheck haven't realized it
and are holding onto a corpse.

.... and here comes the PR machine, from a BR article this morning:

"This isn't the year to let Richt go. Although if things don't improve, 2016 should be.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, however, shouldn't have even been allowed to board the bus outside EverBank Field Saturday night."

Let me translate "just wait till next year!" and "blame it all on Shotty!" as if MR is not responsible for our OC and as if Richt will somehow BE responsible for next year but ISN'T responsible for this one.

I swear articles like this must be written by a UF fan that just sits back and laughs about the fact that some people buy it. I guess that is who Barrett Sallee really is.

What a joke that article is... He says we shouldn't be held hostage by a recruiting class ranking, but hey we need to be held hostage because have you seen the recruiting class ranking for next year?!?

Please....
