    Coach,

    This is really your first big test. Year four, your most talented team and it was a fail. Do more was a fail, You came here to win these games. Humble yourself, go out and find the best offensive minds Georgia money can buy and change our offense. Imagine LSU offense with our defense. That's what we need to win the new SEC not the 2008 SEC coach. You have to do more coach, you were exposed and Jake Fromm is either injured or you have to accept that fact that he is a good QB but not what we just faced. Borrow is throwing kill-bombs he's not looking for a first down. Hats off to LSU as a team and an athletic department and to their head coach. They took their weakness and turned it into a strength that is off the charts. This team is going to win the national championship. Coach, our backup QB has led his new football team that he is starting for , for the first time to the playoffs with an undefeated record with a first year head coach. Know what OSU and LSU have that we dont? A killer behind the center, an elite QB. You chose Jake and you better be going to choose his replacement or him some new coaches ASAP. Hell go hire LSU offensive staff after they win the Championship but you have to do something. You are entering Mark Richt territory - the recruiting. Fix Kirby.

    Dawg Fans - Stop your whining and bellyaching and start acting like actual fans!! Football is a TEAM sport....you win and lose as a team! We FANs do not help the team by creating a harsh and resentful environment every time we lose because good recruits, who have plenty of options, don’t want to come and be a part of that! Grow up! Understand that competitive sports is about winning and losing and championship programs are not built overnight....or even in four years! When you lose...be a man and accept it....embrace your players because they don’t like to lose anymore than you do and they are still young....then start thinking “positively and creatively” about how you build from where you are and win the next time!

    Recruiting and attrition to the NFL are the primary issues??? Hardly. The talent was there to reload, the preseason hype about the O-line, QB & RB were off the charts. The UGA careers, Combine numbers, and NFL production indicate that the players who left for the draft were anything but irreplaceable. Outside of Mecole who is having a good rookie season, the remainder of Georgia's pass catchers to enter the draft (Riley, Nauta, Godwin & Holyfield) have a total of one catch for five yards. In fact, Riley is the only one to suit up regularly. Godwin & Holyfield have yet to put on pads and Nauta was just recently promoted from the Detroit practice team suiting up the last two games but has not played.

    Injuries happen & players are disciplined. None of these factors explains a total offensive collapse. Smart needs to learn one more lesson from Saban and realize the Bama & Georgia conservative offenses of the past do not play in the modern college football world.

    He's exactly right, irregardless of whether these four or five receivers that went to the NFL are actually "starting" doesn't diminish the fact that their absence, thereby leaving true freshmen, didn't HURT the team is not a true assessment. It throws the quarter back to receiver "relationship" off...BAD. He's correct, that's his problem, he should have seen that and recruited better towards that end. That's leads to my silver lining..,.he knows what he needs to recruit now. We've got from now to Jan.1st to prepare for what I think, will be Baylor. To blame this entirely on Fromm...not so. He's a very good quarterback, but your're only as good as your O line and receivers. I was hoping for better results, but deep down I felt if it wasn't a close game, they would blow us away. I hope Fromm and company and company can get in some kind of rhythm and we can get healthy. As usual GO DAWGS!

    Kirby, you have no class. You don't criticize players on national tv. Save it for staff meetings.

    Only ELITE Quarterbacks win in today's college football. Fromm is NOT Elite! The facts are obvious in the film study of this season. Open receivers that Fromm doesn't see. Inaccurate throws, and never going through his progressions. Two SEC defensive coordinators pointed out Fromm is squeezing the ball too hard and is late on throws. Fromm never reads the crashing DE on RPO's so he is never a threat to run. Kirby said in the fall that they don't run the slant off RPO because it wasn't working. So why run RPO if your Quarterback won't read the DE, won't run, and can't throw the slant??
