Need a complete overhaul on the offense...players and staff.
We need a scheme to get our athletes into space. I'm tired of seeing our RBs run into a brick wall with interior runs. We need to get better WR and we need Fromm to play better and scramble the football more. He can't sit back in the pocket for a big fat slow Oline to block.
We need a fresh new voice at OC who can generate more explosive plays.
biggest and simplest change......
run/ throw the ball where there are the least defenders.
wideouts: catch the ball and stop being easily tackled ( that ones to you Matt landers especially!).
jake Fromm: calm down and quit thinking!
Need an actual qb coach. Coley evidently made Fromm worse when he took over as qb coach. Need a lot better wr coach that's not coaching up just the top 5 receivers that we have on the roster. Idc if he played in the NFL. Unless it's Hines ward. He actually played and thrived in college and NFL. Need to beef up the DL or teacher better techniques at the line. There's only so far you can go with big bears on the line. We need to train them be disruptive, not just try and bully their way back to the QB. And need to stop going conservative when we have a lead, on both offense and defense. Why do you think LSU, Bama, Ohio state all put up gawdy numbers. They kept pouring it on. Not trying and milk the clock from the start of the 3rd quarter if we're winning. If we're up by 28-35 at the start of the 4th quarter, go ahead. But up 14 and barely starting the 3rd quarter and hoping the defense saves us all the time. That was very very nerve wracking this season.
“We didn’t come ready to play.” For the SEC championship? That sounds like a quote straight from the Mark Richt era,
Georgia fans aren't ready to accept it yet but if they want to win a national championship it's the head coach that needs to be replaced. Kirby ain't the guy
Swift spoke the truth.
Don't know why our execution was so poor this season.
Go, Dawgs!
The Dawgs need players AND plays.
Lack of execution =lack of leadership.
this is true in football and all other aspects.
And the Donan era... and the Goff era... and the Dooley era... I wonder how much time has to pass before people stop making references to Richt, a coach that was arguably the best in UGA history. In 4 years, Kirby has taking the program to new heights, but he also has had some of most embarrassing losses too given the talent amassed and financial expenditures. Never in my lifetime (and I was at university the same time as Herschel Walker), have I seen a UGA team this talented and loaded with depth than what we have now.
We just need to go to the number 1, 2 annnd 3 national WR recruits and ask them if they want to play for the SEC championship next year.
It’s Coaching! Period- End of Story.
Thank you!
Well, I would have never hired Kirby for the HC job, but he's here now so that's that.
Positives: He can recruit well, he's obviously a good salesman as he has gotten UGA & the donors to buy-in with more money & facilities that ever before. Another sign of a good salesman, go back to the first comment about his recruiting.
Negatives: He's a good salesman, meaning that he's says what people want to hear. I know there are a LOT of Kirby lovers out there, so ask yourself this: What are his RESULTS? Ace recruiting, top-notch facilities, hotbed recruiting ground, but obviously not one of the top 5 teams in the land. Why? Answer: Coaching.
I would cut Kirby a little slack. This is his 1st time being a HC and he has made it to the SEC Championship not only 3 times, but in a row... He probably still has a lot to learn on being a coach of coaches rather than a players coach, but that is who he is. But I would appreciate that for now on, all related social media outlets that supports the team just focus on facts rather than hyping up or writing speculative articles. Georgia is not elite (yet) and won't be until they can prove that they can win big games... I'd like for anyone to prove me wrong on that... (i.e. National championship game, past 2 SEC championship games) Georgia had a lead on 2 of the 3.
I think if they made a few key personnel changes and are open-minded to things. I think that will get this team over the hump, but they need to know that Georgia does not intimidate anyone so they have to change the culture of the program as well.
