MONDAY MORNING before Game 6

Good point ogredawg . . . . Looks like Columbia is going to be in for some "nasty weather" on Saturday. Probably too nasty unless Matthew changes course, which I doubt.

I wanna make it clear that I have NOT lost faith in this staff in general, just some of the decisions that were made on Sat. I'm a 110% in with Smart and I realize that things aren't going to be buttery smooth all the time during a "rebuilding phase".

As an athlete and a coach of youg men I can attest that it's not easy changing HC's and an almost entirely new staff with a new playbook and verbage. Within 2 years Smart will have us right where we wanna be!

As far as the Gamecocks go, may not be facing them this weekend if they don't change location and time. I for one am not worried one bit about SC! As long as we can completely let go of the Vol's loss we should be able to handle SC. And if we come out with revenge on our mind and in our heart we should be able to handle them with ease! Can't let TN beat us twice...

sflanagan21, never any doubt about your place with Kirby Smart, or Georgia.

Easy enough to look a bit closer at where Butch Jones is this year and where he will "likely" be in 2017. Smart and Company gave the Vols a run that many thought would not happen. Smart's first year at the helm, Jones not so.

I continue to console myself looking at the young men that are committed and those that appear to be heading our way, along with the many young men getting valuable playing time in 2016.

There will always be those of us that wonder about certain play calls, but most of us realize that Kirby Smart is learning, much like the young men he is "teaching".

Looking at Coach Sam Pittman's inroads thus far, makes me wonder why some don't understand he is "totally rebuilding" the offensive line. "Some" meaning the outsiders that are referred to on this board as "Bleeding Hearts". Several on Dawgs.com have "chirped" for a long while about paying attention to the offensive line. Some have needed to for years. We got our man.

Wow!!

This is the Seth Emerson that I align with. Straight forward, no fluff.

Coach Smart said in the article above . . . .

“I just think when you’re honest with players, they trust you more. I would rather just tell them exactly like I feel.”

This alone will change "some" of the way football is coached in Athens.

Go Dawgs
