Spending 150 mil on facility upgrades. We have the largest recruiting budget in College football........And he goes cheap on OC and DC.
I'm sure they are good coach's....but not great ones. Kirby is young and Saban taught him to control EVERYTHING......Saban has the history and record and respect to control his program, Kirby does not. So he hires basically unknowns as to have total control. He won't go hire the best. It's a one voice program.......And that voice lost Saturday.
Yeah our offense was so predictable. 1st and 2nd down run, 3rd pass. Was a complete and total s*** show from the offense. The commentators could've been DCs for South Carolina. And maybe they're not getting taught the right techniques for separation in practice. Idk. And everybody can bash on this defense if they want. I thought they played great, never got a turn over, but played to keep us in it. Yeah we had a couple miscues, but we were never really out of the game. Conservative playcalling and a NFL OL getting blown up by 3 star recruits all day really makes no sense. Another question I have, why no Herrien all game?
Swift should be recognized for a hell of a game. Whenever he touched the ball, all eleven players on defense knew when it was going to happen and knew exactly where he was going to hit the line of scrimmage . . . and he still ran for over 100 yds. Imagine if he had had a lead blocker on just a few of those or if he could have attacked outside the tackles. His first contact was at the line of scrimmage on nearly every rush - when he got 8 yards, it was because he was pushing the pile . . . by himself. Tough running.
Alright, the time for mourning is over. Unlike the Braves, our season is NOT anywhere close to being "over" yet. All that matters is making it to Atlanta and to do that we need to take one game at a time. We need passion. We need cohesion. We need a variety of well thought out plays. We need to adapt. I'd like to see us shut Kentucky out. Competely. We need to feel some positive energy heading into our bye week before a tough game that is Florida... that we MUST now win.
Mike Bobo and Derek Mason could be available after this season.
I feel we should go after bobo. The reason Richt enjoyed so much success is because of him. He adapted the offense to the type/skillset of all his players. Smart/Coley want to pound the middle all game. Go back to toss sweeps like stated before. Something outside the realm of the 15 plays we call for 91 plays.
According to Kirby, Herrien was suffering from back spasms and kept him from playing
We need a top notch offensive coordinator. One that has some creativity and has the ability to change the game plan if it’s not working .
I doubt if Kirby fixes anything. UGA will go out and boat race Kentucky because KY=Tennessee. Problem solved everyone will say. A one game hiccup. Then on the open date, Kirby will talk about execution and fundamentals, physicality, playing to the standard, doing more, chopping wood, dusting the furniture and all his other coaching cliches. Then about a quarter and a half into the Florida game we'll be saying to ourselves how familiar this all looks. Run, run, pass. Jake under constant pressure. Receivers getting little to no separation. Muschamp and his DC provided the blueprint for every other team Georgia faces to follow. And Kirby and Co. won't adjust a lick. I really hope I'm wrong but I feel like I've seen this movie before.
The play calling was so P-I-t-I-F-U-L Saturday I kept expecting the camera to pan over to the GA box and see Jim Chaney sitting up there signaling in plays again! A good part of the time we looked just like the offense Chaney called Smart's first year. My Jack Russell, Rebel, could see the formation back THEN and again Saturday and look and me and just rolls his eyes, cause even he knew it was going to be another run play! We must stop playing to lose. That is a Georgia Tradition that must go away! Go Dawgs!
It should be obvious by now that the issues with play calling are with Smart - it's the game plan he's comfortable with. Most defensive minded head coaches think the same way about offence. Smart needs to mature and hire a strong OC who can stand up to him.
Don't worry, Coley will spend all week coming up with numerous ways to run option draws between the guards on 1st and 2nd down.
A leopard can't change its spots. Neither Kirby nor Coley will make meaningful changes.
Holy k-rap, some Georgia fans are nihilist. This was one game. Yes, it was painful to watch. Yes, mistakes were made everywhere. Yes, the coaches and team need to learn from it. But, we need to move on. It's not the end of the world.
Go Dawgs
Coley's offense game plan......IF IT DON'T WORK........DON'T FIX IT !!!!!!!!!
YOU and others still harp about the decision to kick the FG against Notre Dame. Had Kirby not done that, Notre Dame could have played for the tie instead of needing a touchdown at t he end. Fans are all for going for it on fourth down until we don’t make it. The decision to try to move closer in was the right decision versus trying a 55 yard field goal on 3rd down. We talk about Fromm’s decision making being so good, but he changed the play too late and didn’t give the receivers time to set the required time.
The offensive game plan is where he may deserve criticism. Georgia is too good to score so few points, but maybe not good enough to overcome four turnovers against an inspired South Carolina team. And talking about inspiration, Georgia was flat. Lastly, running on first and second down nine times has been criticized. Part of Georgia’s strategy has been to wear down inferior teams with the run game and take over the game in the second half. You’ve got to pound it to do that. Even with injuries on the O line, they should have been able to do that.
