Fisher and I guess Dantonio are the only successful HC's to come off Saban's tree.
I don't think Fisher's style would work at UGA ie Jamis Winston.

I wish Smart well. UGA deserves to win another Natty.

Marijuana in the state of Ga is illegal.

And my point regarding Rape was supposed to be dramatic and glaring. Yes the 2 are different ends of the spectrum. But it's also ridiculous, the argument that comes up all the time, someone doesn't want to get arrested or suspended for doing something illegal , so let's make it legal. How about not doing drugs?

I'm proud of UGAs drug policy. It's an example to other schools.

You don't tell when drug testing will occur , what's the point in that. It's drug testing!

Rape involves a victim, and there is no rational person who thinks it should be legal and there is no rational argument it should be. Try again, but with some reason for a change.

Are you angry or embarrassed Uga weakened our policy in the recent past with no media backlash?

So is drinking under 21. Are you saying you support random breathalyzer testing on weekends
And subsequent suspensions for a first offense?

I can pretty much guarantee Kirby will work within UGAs drug rules......and he will find a way to skirt those rules to keep his players eligible. Give the guys a heads up a week or so before they test them so they can clean up, and perform less testing in general. That should save a few guys.

Oh good lord.

You are trying everything to justify changing UGAs policy. It will not happen!

There is no reason for it to. I know you love litin up and all. But deal with it. Ga will not and should not change its laws and policies. You can take your liberal butt out west for al I care.

But to your point, if a player gets caught underage drinking , there are reprecusssions.
And why in Hell would you want a player playing drunk, much less high? Embarrassment!

Ie... Look at the Athlete handbook, if the student is athlete is caught underage drinking they can be suspended from competiton. And if a second offense they are suspended from UGA from 1 semester. (Now I think the coach should of course make his best decision for first offenses)

But the NCAA requires random drug testing and a policy, not breathalyzers.

Dude, your Administration just fired a solid 10 win per season coach. It's obvious they want change in the football program. They better be willing to do everything in their power to give Kirby all the resources needed to bring championships to UGA. If that means easing up on the drug policies then so be it.

Pointing out the absurdity your rape comparison is far from "everything."

How can you say it will not happen under smart when it already happened under richt? Quit avoiding that fact.

Since it already happened, there are obviously good reasons to change it.

To my point, I was specific about "testing" for underage drinking like we do for smoking weed, and you avoided that as well.

No one has said anything about players playing inebriated. It happens off the field in time off.

Ncaa only tests prior to championships, so we choose how it's done.

Sounds reasonable.

No disrespect to Kirby - but Kirby isn't Nick Saban. Kirby can try and emulate what Saban has done but he can't emulate who Saban is. Leaders aren't manufactured or cloned. They are followed and Kirby, as GREAT of a follower as he is, is still only a follower.

Saban was once a follower himself Ya know. Somehow he learned from the best and became the best.
