G-Day Game Thoughts

Coach Chaney, Coach Pittman impressed me.

Both know what they have in Eason, also know how to use the young pup.

Whether or not Eason was lined up against the first or fourth string in the game, smart offensive coaching has been taught, is being taught to Jacob Eason.

Swing passes are a quarterbacks "life line" in many cases. Watching the play(s) unfold, Eason was "reading" the defense. There were a couple of close calls, but Eason did the right thing, hit the back. That is not a read on certain plays, it is an automatic when playing with a 4/5/6 second read.

Offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, from what I can see, really know their "business".

Many articles that I have read prior to the Spring Game were having their say about our wide receivers. Coach Coley is a very talented coach. Coach McGee the same can be said.

I try to temper my thoughts, however, come September, Georgia would be a team I would not want to face off with in the first game of the 2016 Season. UGA/UNC in Atlanta is going to have a lot in store for the college football world to see. UNC won 11 games in 2015. Do not care who the victories were against, UNC is not the UNC of past years.

Coach Smart as the players have said . . . . pulls no punches. Kirby said this offseason is "huge" for the players in their S&C participation. We will get a better feel for the players that want to play on Saturdays before Fall practice starts. Know that Smart and Company will know the names of each player that participates.

Do I think Georgia Football has taken a giant step, sure do. Getting ready for the talking heads and beat reporters to tell us that we should not get our hopes up too high. That has been a problem in the past. Those that understand the game understand we probably know more about the game than those that work for the "clicks".

The talent that is in Athens now can line up and play SEC Football. Beat Alabama, can't say that. Get on the field with Alabama, feel much better now than the "stuff" that was hyped prior to Kirby Smart taking over.

Have to say this again.

Recognizing Columbus, Georgia and not handing the players there to Auburn, does not take a lot of awareness and understanding to really understand one of the reasons that some of my friends and I chat about just how bad our lack of leadership was. One of Kirby's first hires, Dell McGee, former high school coach in Columbus, Georgia . . . . going to make Athens a better place to watch UGA Football.

Go Dawgs

Buc, the opening game is going to be fun for me. My Father is a UGA grad, and my kids are graduating from UNC in a few weeks. I was not a big UNC sports fan before they enrolled and didn't become one. I wont really care who wins the game but look forward to watching.

Scooby, teams that win 10 or 11 games in a season, play in the SEC/ACC, best pay attention to that.

Two good head coaches and staffs, this will be one of the tougher games on both schedules. Winner will have accomplished much.

Whether folks agree or disagree, from where I sit . . . . SS is spot on and "if" it offends the "bleeding hearts", they should think about Spurrier's words.

How lucky are we (UGA) having a group of coaches that "can" and "will" take Georgia Football to new and better heights? Me thinks that we finally got our head out of our collective butts and decided to face up to the BS of "our past".

Richt reached out to Smart, regardless of how that was handled, I am glad that Kirby said, thanks but no thanks. He was not putting UGA down, he understood not only what Nick Saban had to say, advice wise, there were others that did not sit on Mahogany Row that were ready for the outcome that we are now going through and reaping certain benefits from Kirby's decision.

Will say this or ask this again . . . . Francis spouted off, how has that worked out. Francis, speak up somewhere and say that hiring Kirby Smart was a "bad decision", or we should have kept Mark Richt through the 2017 Season. Silence is golden, Sir.

Anyone believes that Smart and Pruitt are not "friends" . . . . you are fooling yourselves.

There is a "bond" that has been built between UGA/UA coaches that is very "evident" if anyone wants to look at where both universities are "right now". That will continue as long as the core management/coaching remains as it is now. Do not see Saban leaving Alabama or Smart leaving Georgia in the near future. That can and "will" prove to be a thorn in the sides of many SEC coaches.

You don't have to tell us scooby. No one here is under the illusion that you care one way or another if Georgia wins.

A new coach in our situation was nothing like buying a lottery ticket. Nothing at all. It was like trading in an old car that you knew was well past it's prime, and prone to breaking down at the moment you needed it the most.

You traded it on the newest model that Consumer reports rated very highly. Sure, it
could be a lemon, but chances are really high that it wont be.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I don't bother responding to scooby any more. I tried a few times before richt was fired, and his mantra was that the only reason we wanted him fired was he couldn't win an NC...after the third or fourth time explaining the MANY other reasons, and he kept parroting the NC line, I just assumed either he doesn't read any replies, or is just a troll.
