I disagree with 1. He was a good coach in the pros. If they get john jenkins on Saturday then their defense will be top 25 easy.
2 is absolutely correct about bobo, but dead wrong about Murray. Murray played very well for a freshman qb. I do think his stats will decrease this yr, partly bc of bobo and partly bc of aj, and Durham both leaving, but Murray wasn't the problem at uga last yr.
3 I hope you are absolutely correct, and from recent history you probably will be.
Sidenote: hope you are right about all 3 of these and that uga does go 4-8 this season. They'd fire richt, hire Dooley, have expectations higher than they are already, and run him outta town after 2 or 3 6-8 win seasons.
He was a great line coach in the pros, and a good position coach in the pros and in college, and he probably won't waste his talent like Martinez. However, as a defensive coordinator for the Browns he was fired after two seasons for being nearly dead last in the league in every defensive statistical category. This was the only coordinator job of his career. He made it very evident last season that schematically he is outclassed by the majority of college OCs.
As for Murray, he wasn't even supposed to be the starter. An unfortunate set of circumstances led him there, and he may not be there after (or perhaps even midway through) the season. Here's the kicker, it probably won't even be his fault. Bobo will more than likely get frustrated because his throw-it-to-the-same-two-guys-every-play offense won't produce enough points for Grantham's be-bigger-than-the-other-guy-and-run-at-the-ball defense without so much star power at wideout. If Richt's seat is "hot", Bobo's is a molten puddle on the floor. He'll crack, and Murray is not the clutch quarterback who will be winning any games on his own shoulders.
