Loss to Florida reveals structural deficiencies in Georgia’s program

Beck's knee? Florida also had several injuries, so I'm not buying the injury excuses. Next man up, time to show why you were so heavily recruited. Florida's players did that, UGA's players didnt..
Daniels has a legal issue. Go do your homework on the subject. Unless you are gagged, just like the school. But stop telling us that “he’s not impressing the coaches”. They want to play him. But they aren’t allowed.
This season is over and wasted. We’ll go to a sorry bowl that most of our players won’t play in for fear of getting hurt and we’ll lose to a team that we have no business losing to. Smart better get smart quick and find a way to fix this mess. He’s now 3-2 vs fla, 0-2 vs Lsu and 0-3 vs bama which equals 3-7 in the biggest games we’ve played since he arrived. That ain’t gonna cut it. And we start next season vs clemson. I can already see how that will turn out. “We’ve got to get better.” Ray Goff said that, too.
You're being to hard on Kirby. He did go out and get us a QB. Jamie Newman straight up hosed the UGA program by quitting on us a couple of weeks before the season. DGD he is certainly not. This year is a wash.
Nice article, probably the best I have ever read from you....and I have been reading them for 100 years.
The article is spot on in my opinion.
Yeah, good get at qb. Where is he now? Oh yeah, he QUIT. And he got a 2nd option with Daniels, but he didn’t get many reps in preseason because Kirby didn’t think he would be eligible. One big awful mess.
We knew coming into this game with our defensive injuries that our offense would need to make plays to keep them off the field and after the 2nd drive, we couldn’t do that because both of our options at QB have hit their ceiling, or the basement floor would be a better assessment.
Spot on. Time to stop making excuses for Smart. He is highly paid, has the facilities, and the recruits. Time for him to nut up and figure this out.
Not to be gloom and doom, but they are, who we thought they were, comes to mind.
This is very typical of a Kirby Smart team, it is going to stay this way as long as he is here. He does what he knows and when he does step out and try to be different, it slaps him in the face. Typical outcome, like the 4th and 8 against Alabama and he calls a fake punt and the rest is history. Unless we are head and shoulders above our opponents, this will be the outcome.
Maybe we can generate some momentum next year, but this is the battle cry for UGA, "Maybe Next Year"! 4 decades of next years and still we are without a Natty! It is tough being a Dawg, but why give up now!!!
Nice job ignoring Rose Bowl win, SEC championship game, and beating brakes off numerous Top 10 Auburn teams.
Off and very weird year. Get a grip. Look at Dabo’s first 5 seasons. More than a few butt whoopins there. LSU was dumpster fire during first two seasons of offensive transition before it all came into place (and they’ve reverted, BTW). Plenty of great coaches had a **** on their back for years before winning multiples Osborne, Bowden, Paterno. Coach K and Dean Smith. We’ll be fine. Read Jake Rowe’s article on TOS for some perspective.
Just Googled. Found absolutely nothing. Share it if you have it, which I serious doubt.
Sorry friend but you're in denial. Kirby walked into a program ready to win a Natty and he has underperformed and cause this program to significantly regress from what he inherited. Dabo walked into a mess. Not even a reasonable comparison.
What has he done but regress since then?
And the SECCG berth was with several of Richts recruits. Chubb, Michel and others don't return, they never make it that far..
JimmyBob. The rose bowl win and sec championship was with Richt’s players, not his with the exception being Fromm, and he regressed every year. Every time we played albarn, they were over rated. Why don’t you stop ignoring the facts now, JimmyBob?
