What has not been brought up in this discussion is that it isn't just a money gap, which is gone into to great effect in a red and black article form a couple of years ago.
Everyone keeps talking about equal talent. That may be true WHEN IT IS ON THE FIELD. I would love someone who keeps talking about equal talent go back through the recruiting classes and mark all the games that were missed due to suspension, dismissal, lack of over signing, and injury (which does appear to have something to do with a less than stellar SC dept). Considering that no other top SEC program has had to deal with the standards that UGA has put in place for its football staff, then that is just another disadvantage we are forcing on the staff.
Germandawg- who were talking about the 2012 SECCG. The team getting tired in the second half probably had nothing to do with the fact that there were about 60 guys on scholarship for UGA by that game compared to 80+ for Bama? There is a reason that a 15 scholarship loss is considered a huge NCAA punishment to a program.
A pretty good source on 247 just spelled it out that UGA requires 17 core credits for admissions, which is 5 more than Auburn and 3 more than Bama. You don't think that might make some difference on the recruiting trail?
While I don't think this coaching staff has been perfect, they are constantly told to work from behind the eight ball. Seriously, there is a reason Spurrier licks his chops at getting to play UGA at the beginning of every season because there will be without a doubt significant losses in personnel due suspensions and off season dismissals.
IF all these other disadvantages were evened out by the AD, then I would be fine with cleaning house, blowing up this recruiting class, and moving on, but you guys who think that is happening are just fooling yourselves.

Had no idea that was the case.I know CMR steered a couple of kids that did not get into UGA to Miss State and Arky I believe but that was quite some time ago.

It had more to do with fatham not taking even one or two plays to put in subs on the DL. When you have a bowling ball who is currently excelling for the green bay packers running it straight downhill every play, and your 300+ pound linemen have played every snap....yeah duh they're going to give out. I don't care if we weren't trotting out 5 stars in their place, put SOMEONE else in there for a play or 2.
I agree though that a large problem is not just money. Our suspension policies, drug testing, police department, etc all handcuff us to some degree as well that don't at other schools.

From the R&B article...
quote:
Those numbers concern total coaching salaries for overall athletic spending; the numbers for football, particularly in the SEC, are far more daunting. Between 2005 and 2011, the SEC median for football coaching salaries per football player (which includes salaries, benefits and bonuses paid by the university and contractually guaranteed amounts paid by third parties) increased by 81 percent, nearly double that of the FBS median.
Georgia’s spending on football coaches is dwarfed by its conference’s median. UGA increased its spending on Mark Richt and his staff by only 36 percent over the seven year period, a significantly lower percentage of change compared to that of Alabama or Florida — 144 and 142 percent, respectively.
If you can't see the correlation of how the amount we spend affects our performance since 2005 (UGA's last SECC) vs the rest of the conference your just a blind CMR hater. I woulda been ok with him gone after '10. But working under the constraints of the Foundation & the school's spending, academic & discipline policies I honestly don't know who can do better?...
