From Athens- Friday Thoughts

Finally the Richt regime is over.

The program is on the way up.
McGarity get the hell out of the way.

averagedawg, A+ on everything said above.

There is little doubt now that there were a lot of things going on in Athens that should have been corrected much sooner than they were.

Bothers me a bit when I see good coaches brought in to "save" the status quo and in a short time, looking for employment. Not all of the coaches but I suspicion some that did not realize what was being kept behind closed doors.

Leaves little doubt that some of those that were not real pleased with the past few years spoke up, threatened to withhold financial support, then the message was heard. Loud and clear.

There is little doubt that the past head coach was asking for at least one more year. From what I hear and also said on this board, McGarity gave a flat answer of no. After 15 years of what some considered solid coaching, there were many this time around that did not subscribe to the "solid 15 years".

Many of us believe and know that McGarity keeps a close eye on the vault. Much more to keeping the vault "green" than renewing contracts and handing out raises.

Anyone that thinks Greg McGarity was not given an ultimatum does not have their eyes and ears open. Richt won the first real war between himself and McGarity. Richt did not win the war with those that had played, donated large sums and called for a "bench clearing".

What happens now will be in plain view. McGarity knows that he almost screwed up again when it was clear that Kirby Smart had one foot in the door in Columbia, South Carolina. McGarity said that he made up his mind on the return trip from the GT game. Garbage. McGarity saying that he had a firm searching for the next head coach, garbage. He was told from what I understand that Kirby Smart had best end up in Athens. We will continue to see the athletic director trying to get out front with the money maker, football. Called job security. Soon the Public Relations Group will flood the airways and internet with the IPF. They will also have Greg McGarity as the lead in releasing the information. Thanks again for the truth Jeremy Pruitt.

We acknowledge that CKS is blessed with a brain....

One he uses to his and others advantages....

I believe he knows the players who sit on the Row

Kirby had speaks with this group and all have clear

Understanding as what it will take to keep Kirby in

Athens..... Not dealing with Scrooge's chicken poop

Is close to the top of the list....Kirby is here to build

A championship program... Fact..... Go Dawgs

I for one prefer to promote Sherrar to DC. First, has DC experience at S Alabama. Knows the basics of arranging for game. Second, already on staff. Will know the strengths and weaknesses of current players. No learning curve needed there. Third, you guys made a good point. The man will be doing KS's program on a day to day business. Fourth, the players already know and respect him. Much less time needed to "win over" the players.

Heck of a recruiter BulldogShannon. Can speak to that living in Florida and know he has done well here.

Good points you make.

yankeedawg1, probably you have read the article below, if not, worth taking a look.

The Lady Sportswriter, aka Kimberley Nash, wrote what I believe that many or most on this board and its members expect from her.

Reading the article, thought . . . . that Girl is special when it comes to chatting Georgia Football. Special because she is spot on.

Know in the article Kimberley calls the Jacob Eason "thingy" the same way that I did/do. Glad to have Jacob, also glad to have a head coach that will make sure he has protection and a chance to use that . . . . ready for this . . . . "multi-million dollar arm". NFL future if all of the talk is real.

Think I read recently on Dawgs.com that Wartdawg reads Kimberley Nash. Do know that Wartdawg does not waste his time with "stuff".

Kimberly has her head on straight as you and others have

Noted correctly....

I have used the first part of her preferred statement

It is what it is.....and it will be what it will be.....

Pretty much cut and dry as my Grandpa would say

Hard freeze in the Classic City overnight

Understand you folks in n FL are looking to feel a chill

Stay well Buc...enjoy the weekend and the upcoming

Christmas season......Go Dawgs
