re: Kirby Smart does not have to coach this year

I'm not blaming them per se, but good teams have vocal leadership from within the team, without exception to my knowledge. We don't have that. That's just reality.

Can we sum this whole mess up with this?

WE are struggling right now because:

1. We lack upperclassman leadership
2. We are breaking in a new Head Coach
3. We lack some talent and depth at certain positions
4. We are still trying to run a very good system, but lack the personnel to do it


If anybody has anything else to add, go for it. It will take time. We all knew this. I am a bit surprised at the people that felt it necessary to vocally criticize Mark Richt and are so sensitive to any kind of criticism about Kirby Smart. Smart is human. He will make mistakes. We have to understand that Jacob Eason will not be a great QB as a freshman in the SEC. Smart will not be a great coach as a freshman coach in the SEC. Both will need to get experience and get settled in. We don't want to throw Eason to the wolves and tear him apart with criticism, and we shouldn't do it to Smart.
