Oregon has been in the national title talk for the last several years. They are more legit than us. Winning the mnc is hard and many coaches can't do it, but what's the excuse for the lack of conference titles? 8 years since we won the conference.

Who came closer last year? Oregon or Georgia? And we want to fire our coach.

In 2011, Oregon lost to LSU 40-27, the same team that beat georgia for the SECC 42-10...not much difference there, is there?

In 2010 they lost the NC to Auburn.
In 2009, they lost three games.

So, why do many think Kelly can get the job done? Because he has come close? Richt gets Georgia close and everybody says he has maxed out and can't get Georgia there. Kelly gets a pass.


Hey, I understand. Typically younger fans are fans of wide open offenses that score a lot of points. I used to, too. Kelly brings that to the table. But rarely do championship teams do that. Championship teams usually play good solid defense (something we have not done this year) and play mistake free football. (Something else we have not done this year)

I know, and acknowledge our problems. I am just saying that over the last three years or so, our team has steadily improved. Had we stayed healthy this year we would have one loss (and that easily could have been a victory) and be in the chase for a national Championship.

Again...I have no problem with peoples impatience. I understand that. I am impatient, too. but, as you pointed out, it is very difficult to win a NC. 8 years since we won a conference title? Wow. So, what you are saying is we have lost the conference title to that years National Championship team, right?

Conference titles in the SEC are almost as hard to get as MNCs. Consider that the last team to win the SECCG and NOT go to the BCSNCG was Georgia.

Since then...

Year --- SECC --- BCSC
2006 --- FL ---- FL
2007 --- LSU --- LSU
2008 --- FL --- FL
2009 --- AL --- AL
2010 --- Aub --- Aub
2011 --- LSU --- AL (played LSU)
2012 --- AL --- AL
