How the heck did uga with mr and some other knucklehead coaches BEAT ns, jimbo fisher, and will muschamp...

David Pollak, TD, Thomas Brown, David Green, etc. I watched most of this game and the uga off line was better than lsu def line. David Pollak was better than i remembered him, very fast.

Lots of familiar names in this game on both sides. I always liked Jacob Hester. Jamarcus Russel was a big flop, but number one pick if i remember right.

Just wonder what happened for nick saban to become the godfather and mark richt the ridicule of many dawgs...

Complacency!!!
Nick Saben learns from his defeats Mark Richt accepts them.

DAWGtm, great description word . . . . "Complacency".

Explanation, spot on.

Stubborn,,,, nothing is permanent except change... Unable to make necessary changes to remain competitive

Tunnel vision.... Not noticing what is working and what's not

Hiring...... We all are capable of a bad hire...however
Don't compound by unwillingly to fire that bad hire sooner rather than later....

Recruiting..... Losing site that lineman pull the the train

Sideline energy.... None....

Stop here...... Failure wears many hats

Go Dawgs

yd1, finally a head coach that understands "lines", especially offensive lines. Also, sidelines, another line that Wartdawg often referred to as a missing link because of a lack of energy.

Van Gorder left. The defense immediately went to crap under Martinez. Some noticed quickly. Other finally came around but Martinez was retained several years too long. Richts image was tarnished for that.
