MASH HERE
Surprised this had not been posted yet. This dissappoints me
. Very Clowney-esque of him. Wonder how many others took the same approach, I'm sure he's not the only one. If he had those other sacks at the right time according to his goal, I wonder how different the season would have been. He better friggin step it up and the coaches should put a boot in his arse. I hope his dad gets the belt out!

This has been a prevalent attitude in Athens for many years, so not a big surprise

This isn't the first time we've gotten a sniff of there being less than 100% drive and effort coming from our defensive players. Shawn Williams calling out everyone last year comes to mind.

It all goes back to CMR and Co

Kick-six practice
Georgia decided on an interesting drill during special teams practice on Friday. It practiced a field goal play on which the kick was short and returned -- a la Auburn vs. Alabama.
It went much like the play that inspired it.
“We didn’t touch him,” Richt said, not identifying the return man. “Not with two hands.”
Richt was asked how often his teams have practiced the play.
“Since I’ve been at Georgia? Once,” Richt said, smiling.

It's a miracle we've managed to win as many games as we have....

Yep and lack of instilled disciple/intensity. His attitude about the kick 6 practice is a good example of his laid back attitude. Dallas linked the interview session. When asked about possibly putting more skill players on the FG special teams he said: "then we might miss the kick" and sort of shrugged. While I understand that scenario is definitely a trade-off between blocking for the FG attempt vs kick coverage, he seemed much too cavalier about a possible solution to suit me. I love the guy as a human being and the face of UGA football but I question whether we will ever win a national championship due to lack of discipline, lax recruiting/roster management and overall lack of intensity relative to the finer points of the game.

Wow you gleaned all that from the fact he is actually running a kick6 drill? Shouldnt you be glad its something he is addressing?

Hardly. Class of '75 and been watching our dawgs under Richt throughout his tenure. As I stated, the kick6 drill is just an example. quote:

While I'm glad he practiced it 1 time per his own admission, his attitude considering his run-back specialist scored on the play clearly doesn't address the obvious deficiency.
I would guess, after the Auburn winning TD on a kick6, many coaches will think twice about trying FG's marginally within their kicker's range.

Dave, have you been happy with any UGA football head coach?

I am happy and feel honored to be a UGA alumnus and fan regardless of coaching staff. Happy IMHO is not a good descriptor for the relationship between fans and coaches; I think satisfied is the better choice of words. And no, I have never been completely satisfied with any UGA football coach including Vince Dooley and Mark Richt.
I will say this: CMR has been the best head football coach at Georgia during my lifetime in spite of the lack of a NC. Dooley was just lucky that he had Herschel Walker and just enough defense to get the job done. It might just take a Herschel Walker type phenomenon for Richt to also win a NC.
Coach Richt has many positives not the least of which is his endearing humanity. He is the best representative of our university I can possibly imagine. I just wish he was able to evolve past his deficiencies which are keeping him from taking our football program to the elite level.

Nothing about him is very Clowney-esque. Were either of these 5 Star DE UGA players ever a 1st Team All SEC, or an All American selection, like Clowney? Either of them set any records like 4.5 sacks in a game at a rivals stadium?

I agree. He owned up to the fact that he needed to work harder. He did not use little nagging injuries as excuses, throw staff under bus, so you are right. This kid is nothing like Clowney.

Not yet but it was their first year starting, and Drew was very good. He may be all sec next year.

Been watching UGA since the 60's and Gurley is as close to the phenom you say Richt needs as any I've seen, other than Herschel of course. We need a defense like the 80's teams had that went along with Herschel.
Posted on 12/21/13 at 11:22 am to davesdawgs
I agree. This ia a recurring theme with Richt's teams.

The fact he can speak clearly and is an intelligent kid makes him nothing like Clowney at all... the fact that he realizes he needs to work harder makes him nothing like Clowney.../Thread

Never said he was.

You're unbearable sometimes. He meant "Clowney-esque" in that he has been lazy. He wasn't comparing him to Clowney.
