Monday Thoughts - Why Kirby Smart will be a Success: Culture

Jerry Richardson made a vow to win a Super bowl in ten years when he got the Panther franchise in the early 90s. Nothing wrong with being optimistic. You can do everything right and it still doesn't work out. There are 15-20 other programs that want to win it just as much.

Scooby, agree that there are many that want to win.

Kirby Smart will be our best chance at this point to move forward.

Seems to me that we (UGA) had slipped a bit. Slipped from expectations.

Comes a time when the same talk over and over at the beginning of each season somehow gets old. I know a little bit about "old".

Clean slate, will see if those that have wanted "change" meet expectations.

Kirby Smart is not bringing a "hustle" to Athens. He wants and believes this is his calling . . . . otherwise in my way of thinking, he would have taken one of the many offers he has had in the past. Came close to taking the Gamecocks, but those in Athens had to step up. Sometimes it comes down to "wants and needs".

Those that understand UGA football history, really understand, now have our "wants". "Needs" . . . . those of us that got our "wants" will now see if we get our "needs".

Anyone that thinks or "truly believes" that our program being run by Kirby Smart will decline . . . . time to put the "moola" on the table.

Something that has not been said on this board or any board I have read, or any media "stuff" presented thus far . . . . the paragraph below concerning Tracy Rocker, not what I have been privy to, goes like this, I don't sit in the Butts-Mehre.

Tracy Rocker had multiple offers. Said to me by someone I have great respect for . . . . Tracy Rocker loves the Red and Black. I buy that and am a happy camper wearing the Red and Black every football weekend knowing that Kirby Smart had the good sense to retain Tracy Rocker. Huge in my world.

Go Dawgs, change is upon us.

Kirby will work his ass off.
He will demand the best from everyone involved in the program.
And I guarantee you there will be no excuses.
Ever.

Don't want to be ugly or dwell in the past but I was THIS CLOSE to predicting this:

"Jon Richt, the coach’s son, was hired as an “offensive assistant,” according to the Miami release.

If you think he didn't want to fire Willie....

There were problems in Athens and MR hired his son, or somehow got him on campus. There was a lot of talk about that and quite frankly it started on this board.

That was the system that MR grew up under . . . . Bobby Bowden Family System.

MR was very slick in many of his hirings.

Continuing the policy in Miami. Folks down there will "also" rise up at some point.

I was going to mention this last night, but restrained myself. Thanks for mentioning this.
