USA Today released its annual coaching salaries database for the 2019 season. Georgia coach Kirby Smart ranked fifth in the country in terms of his salary this year as he's set to make $6.87 million. And according to USA Today's Dan Wolken, that rate is one of the worst in the country, as Wolken rated Smart's

    Connor Riley cut to the chase in this one....OL! The offensive line. Said it better than I ever could. They will control the tempo. Will GA run, or mix it up is up to the OL. If Fromm's arm is working again, the big boys on the OL must create the opportunites for some explosive runs and down wind passes...two dimensional...not one. You posters will fill in the blanks...I am sure. Firing on all cylinders,,..UGA will beat Florida. Florida has a suspect defense in my opinion but pretty solid offense at least against LSU...even though they lost. UGA is no LSU....yet...but we have the talent to beat Florida....do we have the coaching? Hope so.................

    GO DAWGS!

    What do those crappy writers make. His pay is none of their business. Geez..... Now, this team has some issues and coaching is some of it. Saban USED to have the mind set of pound the ball and play great defense, Kirby's current model. Saban evolved. Will Kirby. But before we bash Kirby to much, He, in his mind, is playing to his team THIS year Strengths. Don't think he saw all his wide outs bailing and JJ getting kicked off the team. Jake is a GAME manager passer. He his limited....then throw in our weakness at WR and getting open, We have what we have. My fault with team is how slow we start. Some say playing not to lose vs playing to win. Next few weeks shall tell us a lot

    Anybody that takes anything Dan Wolken has to say about UGA seriously is an idiot.

    It is in the coaching overall RGB. Sorry. I am hard on Smart because he seems to be back peddling, not moving forward. No program stands still. I know Saban has evolved...but used him as an analogy. Coaching is what makes or breaks a team that is why they are constantly playing musical chairs in the NCAA. It is one tough business. Millions of dollars are paid to the top coaches and they are expected to perform at that level....whether they do nor not! Their performance achievement drastically affects recruiting...the lodestone of any successful program. As the result of GA's previous success and rabid interest by alums and fans, UGA is also investing tens of millions into a new indoor field facility, etc. directly attributed to UGA's enormous football prowess and record as well as its other burgeoning sports activities. Plus, GA has an exceptional academic standing. It all melds together to make UGA a top SEC school. I am proud to be an alum.

    GO DAWGS!

    I love how these writers and talking heads bad mouth us. It's what we need, the Anti-Rat Poison.

    Go, Dawgs!

    National perceptions of the Georgia program have really taken a dive since the SC loss. There is a lot riding on how the team, particularly the offense, performs in the coming weeks. The mass exodus of skill talent after last season, coupled with the decision to double down on the established offensive philosophy by retaining Coley as OC are coming under increased scrutiny as the offense has underperformed in recent weeks. This sets up the Florida game as a massive test, not only for the team, but also for the Kirby Smart offensive philosophy. Georgia should have the talent to win that game, but another underperformance will point to a need to rethink the way this offense is managed. I for one hope for another November resurgence.

    Observation about our offense system. Last year, justin Fields looked lost, indecisive and lacked confidence..... this year at Ohio st, he looks like a Heisman trophy candidate. System, coaching or supporting cast ?

    Has anyone realized how easy it is for the media to bash Georgia when things are going bad and hard for them to give us due credit when things are going well.smh

    Big 10 defenses vs. SEC defenses. The SEC D's were too fast for JF to adjust to coming straight out of HS. He went to a slower system that suits him well. I actually feel that he should have stayed with his commitment to PSU. Would have been the best situation all around.
