New UGAG excuse choice

Wonder if anyone at thuga central is thinking of Spurrier and/or Muschamp on the market.

No way Spurrier would go to Athens.

Spurrier would return to North Ave before he would walk the sideline between the hedges. He dislikes UGA that much.
 
Good reads of Schadenfreude

Bill Shanks [long read]:
He is a man loved by many. There is little doubt about him as a person. That has never been a question. But his coaching abilities are routinely scrutinized. It is games like Saturday that make the ‘Mark Richt debate’ one that simply won’t go away.

Georgia didn’t just lose Saturday. They were embarrassed. Florida won by 18 points, and it really wasn’t that close. The 13-point underdog whipped the favorites up and down the field all afternoon long. Georgia lost to an inferior team Saturday. Sure, Florida won, but Georgia is better.
Or, so I thought.

How can Georgia be a good team when it loses a game like this? Was it just a bad day? Well, here’s the problem. This happens every single year for the Georgia Bulldogs. We wait for it and we know it is coming.

...
How long will Georgia fans accept this? How many more years will they wake up on a Sunday morning and feel the way they did today?

People say, “Well, Mark will never leave. They’ll never fire him.” Well, maybe it’s time for the fans to let the administration know how unacceptable games like Saturday are. Maybe they need to be the ones heard, more loudly than the ones that talk about Richt and say, “He’s a good man, but…”

...

That act is getting tired. Losing games like Saturday is getting old. And it is becoming more and more obvious this coach will never get Georgia where most of its fans believe it should be.

Jeff Schultz: Georgia blows it all with inexcusable performance
This is the kind of game that fuels the bonfires of criticism. A program builds up its fan base with a string of impressive wins, positions itself for a conference title, a playoff berth and a dream season, then napalms the sucker in one afternoon.

...

Florida 38, Georgia 20. Seriously?

This is the kind of game that ignites the periodic rage about coach Mark Richt.

...

As for Richt, this game was manna for critics. It wasn’t like the back-to-back losses to Florida and Urban Meyer in 2008 and 2009 by a combined score of 90-27 in that there wasn’t as much on the line for Bulldogs. But it was a crusher for this season and qualifies as a major grease stain on his resume.

The bonfires are burning again.

They would have fired Richt a long time ago if we could have beaten them more than once every 13 years.
 
It would never ever happen, but could you guys imagine them canning Richt after suffering a loss to Tech on Thanksgiving weekend? Unfortunately I think McGarity isn't that stupid. Richt will be driving his F250 through Athens as long as he wants to be there.
 
one of my high school buddies that is a Dwaggie texted me that "Tech could easily have beaten us today." he is one that gets very down on them and when they are doing well he is full of anxiety of how its about to go bad... much like this Tech board and Larry Munson

you should invite him to join us on stingtalk. he'd feel at home.
 
If those tards want to dump Richt and take the very real chance of going back to the Goff days, let em. I'm no Richt fan but he's done a helluva lot more for them than they realize. Dooley averaged 8 wins a year. Richt's at just under 10 wins a year.
 
UGA would be crazy to fire Richt. It's too unpredictable when selecting a coach unless you are able to hire a great coach away from another top school. I know UGA could afford to pay top dollar, but who would be willing to go? If you were UGA and could go after any coach (college, NFL, or commentator), who would you pick? And you have to predict they would leave their current situation. Example: Saban isn't leaving Bama, so no need in throwing his name out there.

A lot of the DWAGs are throwing out Mark Dantonio's name along with the guy from Baylor. Those guys are somewhat realistic.

Then you have the complete retarts who say they can hire away another successful SEC coach like Mullen or Freeze.

The real question....what kind of coach would want that job if averaging almost 10 a year does not give you job security. The boosters and alum are probably not going to let MR go anywhere...the everyday fans are the ones who want him gone.
 
I've always felt like we should be grateful they don't fire Richt and hire someone better. Seriously, if you look at their fan base, money, recruiting territory and advantages, and their ability to hand out degrees to mouth-breathers, their potential is unlimited and they're not fulfilling it and never have yet.

The state of Georgia is the fourth best recruiting state and produces about 70% as much talent as the big three. Yet unlike CA, FL and TX, we only have two Big Five schools and one of those won't admit minimum qualifiers. They have a huge, obnoxious and slaveringly loyal fanbase. They have classes that their mascot could pass.

That puts UGA in about the sweetest recruiting position in the country. It also puts them in position to make an excellent coaching hire, because any coach with a brain is aware of all of the above facts.

So I have always thought, there but for the Grace of God and the mediocrity of Mark Richt lies 1990's FSU or 2008-present Bama, but with an even more obnoxious fan base and "culture" (I use the term loosely).

But lately I've thought differently. The thing is, it's true that Richt is a major underachiever. But he happens to be a major underachiever who has our number. That's the worst possible scenario for GT.

Richt's teams are certainly not so good that we should never beat them, yet we have only won once in 13 tries.

7 or 8 close down to the wire games and we only won one of them -- that's pretty bad luck.

We beat Auburn by double digits twice in two tries during the Tuberville years, but we're 1-12 against Richt? How does that make sense?

So I hope they fire him. It's true, they might hire a great coach and get better -- but our results against them won't be any worse, and at least we'll be losing to really good teams. Or they might hire another mediocrity, but one who doesn't have our number -- and the chance of that happening is worth the very real risk of them getting better.

had we beaten them in 09/10 like we should have, Muschamp would already have been there

Dantonio ain't leaving. He's got it made at Michigan State, and he's a öööö good coach. That's just the arrogance of the Georgia fans (and the SEC, by extension), that they think the cache of their name, plus some dollar signs, can get the coach from Michigan State, just off a Rose Bowl win and probably on the cusp of a playoff berth. As if Dantonio isn't getting paid at MSU and as if their backers aren't willing to cough up dough to keep him happy. Big school, lots of alumni ... they'll do what it takes to keep him put.

I think his next stop, if he does go anywhere, may be NFL. Though his past health issues may preclude that.

He signed an extension in 2011 that made him a "Spartan for life" and he has a $2 million contingent bonus available to him this year. Don't know what it's contingent on.

Briles and Dantonio are both 58 years old.

But, hey Dogs, Jim Donnan is still out there. Heard he wants to get back into coaching.

This year's team has some magic following them.
Bee nice to see them pull a rabbit out of the hat with NCS and Clempson and then saw UGA in half.

Never mind Donnan went up against öööö good Tennessee teams and great Florida teams, and not just on the field but for recruits, too. Richt had to go up against St. Urban, but the Kiffin-Dooley-Jones years at UT have been forgettable.

No doubt about UT and UF, but Richt has a tougher Auburn and USC.

His sec west rotation seems to be very lucky however.
 
From the DwagRant ...

UF felt good enough about their DBs against our WRs to leave them on an island and make Mason beat them while moving 8-9 in the box to stop the run.

Didn't seem like we wanted to go all-in to stop the run at times and our lack of speed at ILB really hurt us.

I've been saying for a couple of weeks now, the way to stop our running game is a simple numbers game. If we go with a basic I-formation set then we have 5 down linemen, 1 TE, and 1 FB blocking, a total of 7 blockers. If a D mans up our WRs and trusts their DBs, that's 7 players trying to block 9. It's what happens when there is no threat of a passing game

I know we've had terrible pass D, for the most part, but I think that plays in our favor against UGAg ... the poster is right, they have NO passing game. None. Their receivers are serviceable, but they aren't the receivers of UGAg's past.
