His first team ranks among the worst Georgia assemblages of the past half-century.
Isn't this just a "the cupboard is bare" type of statement? If the group of players he has is one of the worst in the last 50 years, then he has virtually nothing to work with.
Seems like the author is trying to make the rare chicken AND egg argument.

My earlier statement was very coffee fueled and probably knee-jerk. Still hard to look at the losses this year and not get upset.
But with all the business analogies we got going on. New CEOs are typically given a 3 year period in order to drive a couple of goals - new business acquisition / higher customer retention which leads to increased revenue at low to moderate impact to operating costs. These goals they are driving to are aligned with the goals of the company / shareholders.
Relating this to UGA. As a fan I'm absolutely on board with giving Kirby the keys to the kingdom, it's his job and he needs those to be successful. However, as a fan, I sit here and question if he has a plan. If he does have a plan then how does he not gameplan against UF, they were entirely beatable. I want the coach to win at leas 90% of the games that are 'winnable' and maybe win 50% of the remainder that are toss ups. I don't feel like the coaching staff has a plan that gets us to that percentage based on what we've seen as far as talent utilization.

I see your point, but we have all seen a team that had pretty good players and did not play up to their potential. This team has done that against Nicholls, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. Talent does not always equal results. Look at ole Miss and Tennessee this year.
And, yes. Mark Richt had teams that did not play up to their potential, too. (Thought I would throw that out there before somebody else felt the need.
