From Athens-Game Day Friday # 11

Richt reminds me of Jeb Bush.

Truth is the head coach is taking a lot of flack.

Appears that he has his flack jacket on "again". There have been rumblings for a while, this time the rumblings are much louder than any I can recall concerning the head coach.

Many Georgia supporters having a hard time reliving the same game being played as stevedawg mentions in post #5.

Note: Many large companies get in the same situation.iE: they are way off track and no one knows what to do. The large amount of cash lets them continue with the status quo. The Athletic Dept is a business, not an educational institution. Row will continue until train wreck. Money boys calling the shots.


Been said thousands of times . . . .

First time shame on you. Second time shame on me.

What the PR group has done thus far is just the opening round of a title fight. Their job will require a lot more in depth study this time around if Georgia fans are serious about their comments wanting serious changes in Athens.

Sorry, have to return to this . . . .

PP on the decks in Sanford Stadium, will fix after the Big Donor suites high above the masses in the stadium get improvements.

Head coach gets UGA to the Belk Bowl. Might visit again in 2015.

Head coach gets a raise and contract extension approved by those "in charge". Those that sit high above the masses.

Guess my question is . . . . Just how long those in charge can get away with what I consider a "crime".

There has been more coverage of Jacob Eason by the media than I can recall about any player, EVER, to wear the Red and Black.

Hit a nerve stevedawg, appears we are on the same page. Going to be a lot of arm twisting by the media when the season ends and recruiting gets hot and heavy. That is when the PR Group will break out the heavy artillery.

Time for change.

Buc as you and Steve as well as others have correctly pointed out.

Money drives Georgia football.... And... The quest for more.....

As you also noted time to turn the page......

However, Removing MR is not going to fix the money

Mindset.....new coach will fall in step and learn the drill

If he is able to win big games that's a bonus for the fans

Go Dawgs

Great post yd1.....totally agree.

While I too think when need change at the top, sometimes we all get a little too over the top about things in life. Negative speculation can and will raise its head....and can be magnified at times.

Imo, whether a PR stunt or not with CMR taking pics with JE, in my mind it was also a good move on his part because it keeps "subtle" pressure on the kid/parents for JE to keep his commitment to UGA and that one trip may just solidify 2-4 more quality recruits to come to Athens.

Trip well taken imo.....object may have been more than just JE.

Night game tomorrow yd1, cool outside, how about a little Grand Marnier for you sir?

Everyone have a great weekend.

One thought I carry with me.

The media at the beginning of 2015 Season, almost 100% of the media had Georgia ranked in the top ten in College's D1 Division.

The media also played it up big time until . . . . until Alabama came to Athens with their proven head coach and assistants. At that point the media began to "stutter".

All would be repaired and back on track in Knoxville. Yeah buddy!

One last shot, the gators. Media went from being "all knowing" to "making excuses".

Someone please explain to me how it is we had as many if not more athletes wearing the Red and Black than those we were lining up against.

Blame the player, hell no.

So, where does that lead us?

Jeremy Foley, Athletic Director released a head coach that many think is one of the best defensive coaches in D1 football. Gus said the absolute best.

Greg McGarity, Athletic Director got his feathers ruffled and caused the head coach some problems. Big Dawgs stepped in and McGarity became noticeably silent.

Recently Fran Tarkenton spoke out, as he often does and said Mark Richt should remain as head coach. Not that far back Fran Tarkenton wanted Mark Richt released. Amazing what some will do with their money if it gets their name prominently displayed on the Indoor Practice Facility. Look at me.

After 15 years of this, hard for some of us to move on and have nothing to look forward to.

A reminder . . . . Young high school quarterback from Dallas, Texas area, Matthew Stafford. First player chosen in the NFL Draft when he became eligible. Win any championships with Matthew Stafford while in Athens? Why was that? MS had great talent. AM had great talent. Think I know the real answer, as many of you folks do.

So, here we go again with the great high school quarterback from Washington. What has changed? Assistants have left since Stafford and AM played . . . . maybe a new head coach with on field leadership abilities is the answer. Think so? The real problem seems to point in that direction.

Remembering this . . . . The National Championship ring that Mark Richt has was won under Bobby Bowden. MR was an assistant. Someone that VD wanted badly.

I betcha Loser names a starting QB after the G-Day game in 2016 . . .
