Re: anyone out there?
Is anyone working at DawgNation? The same lead article has been up for a day or so now. I don't even see an article from Connor about which I can complain.

Re: Mike White contract extension includes raise to $3.91 million, annual increase
@UGADad20 You want a list ? I got one for you. UGA could have hired : Bucky McMillian. Mark Byington. Chris Beard. Any of those guys would have taken the job & they have all had more success in the SEC than MW. And with the exception of A&M the level of support is no better for Byington or Beard. Hiring White was the laziest most unimaginative hire an AD could have made. Paid Fla to take him off their hands. It would literally be like if Kirby had gone to the NFL a couple years ago and we hired Sun Belt Billy. I don’t blame White for wanting to get out of Dodge ahead of the posse…but Brooks should be fired for gross negligence.
And I do agree with you that the program hasn’t been supported in the past but that’s about to change. I’ve been told UGA will have a top 5 sec nil budget next season. The downside: the person providing the cash is a big supporter of White. So no excuses next year for your boy.
And Kirby has gotten almost everything he wanted(rightfully so). Only thing he’s been denied is moving the FL game.

Re: anyone out there?
I just got back from Paris where I saw France vs Ireland in Rd. 1 of the Six Nations tournament. Wasn't much of a match because Ireland was without a lot of their starters, but Paris was great, food was awesome and it was our largest contingent of ruggers yet to go on one of these trips. Great trip!

Re: Mike White contract extension includes raise to $3.91 million, annual increase
Again. Still waiting. WHO ARE YOU GOING TO GET THAT IS BETTER CONSIDERING THE SCHOOL'S LACK OF COMMITMENT TO ELEVATING THE PROGRAM? Not sure how much more simply I can make it.
"Cronin is simply one of dozen's of coaches making less than Mediocre Mike". 1) Cronin makes more than White even with his 2/9/26 raise. 2) If you pay your coach the same as "dozen's of coaches" why would you expect their results to be any different than dozen's of coaches?
IT IS NOT THE COACH AS MUCH AS IT IS THE SCHOOL'S LACK OF COMMITMENT TO THE PROGRAM. We will never know if or how good White is or could be without making more of a commitment to the program.
Let me ask you this. Is UGA, nationally, making a Top 20 financial commitment to basketball? They are not. Why would you expect them to be a top 20 team w/o making the financial commitment? WHO IS THAT $4M COACH OUT THERE THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THIS UGA PROGRAM TOP 10? THERE IS NOT ONE!
You put a lot on the coach to elevate the program. UGA actually made the Big Dance last year where Cronin won exactly 1 more game than UGA. A UGA program that has been mediocre for how long? Since '96 (30 years) UGA has made the Big Dance 7 times and have only progressed past the Rd of 64 twice. That ain't on Mike White. Blaming White for the state of the UGA basketball program is lazy and biased.
UGA is 17-7 and lost to #17 FU while playing w/o its leading scorer. UGA is a young team with little margin for error. In football, according to revered CKS, it's "Jimmy's and Joe's". I guess that doesn't apply in basketball.
"Let me ask you this, would you have given Kirby an extension and raise if he had produced 4 consecutive years of mediocre football? " Apples and oranges. THAT'S the point! IF CKS had mediocre results with all of the financial commitment and investment (UGA spent $3M, $4M, $5M on football recruiting alone in the last 3 yrs) UGA has made in the program CKS should not have been retained. UGA is making little to no commitment to the basketball program.

In response to my being “set straight “, I haven’t been “set straight” by anything. I stand by my comments because they are just that, mt opinions. I respect anyone’s opinion. We all have one. If it makes you feel better to feel you have “set me straight” then so be it. Life goes on.

Re: Mike White contract extension includes raise to $3.91 million, annual increase
No clue what you're talking about. My response was not directed at you, rather UGADad20. And the response about setting you straight was not made by me, but UGADad20 also. I agree with you 100% as a matter of fact. I dont see Mike White being the savior of the basketball team, or the program. He was let go by Florida for a reason, after watching his teams play, I now understand why he is no longer a coach in Gainesville.
