UGA has made official. Stricklin will be back. Un-fricking-real. Anyone who believes that Greg McGarity cares about anything other than how big the AD bank account is can go DIAF. Is a god damn Depression Era baby?
frick YOU, GREG.

Check this shite out. LINK

Asked later what he meant by “distracted by those who seek to divide us,” McGarity declined to elaborate.
Motherfricker is acting like he's MLK.

I saw that earlier and almost had a stroke. I really am curious to see if he has a statement rationalizing why he's decided to keep Stricklin, because I can't think of one good reason to keep him.

Anyone else take that as a dig at Seth Emerson and Bill King for not playing the Baghdad bob role that everyone else seems to be taking on?

Figured Emerson in particular

Strick's comments on firing Corral
I'm sure we'll have people lining up around the block to come coach under a man who probably won't finish out the 2 years left on his contract and has consistently proven that he can lead his team to be better than 1 or maybe 2 other teams in the conference. If anybody can find me a better example of "shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic" then point it my way. The recruiting class we signed last fall isn't good, can't imagine how bad the next one is gonna be. I wish people cared more about baseball so ADGM would feel some actual backlash on this bullshite.
quote:
“Fred Corral will not be retained as our pitching coach,” Stricklin said. “I appreciate the four years he gave us, but I just decided to move in a different direction.”
Stricklin informed his team of the change during a team meeting Thursday afternoon.
Georgia ranked last in the SEC in earned run average with a 5.03, Georgia's highest in the four years Stricklin and Corral have been at the school.
After posting a 4.33 ERA in 2014, Georgia’s 3.96 ERA in 2015 was the lowest in Corral’s tenure before ballooning up to 4.62 in 2016.
Stricklin said the decision was not based on just this final year.
“I think it was the overall picture,” said Stricklin, when asked why he made the change. “He’s a great man, and I appreciate all his hard work. I just felt like overall we needed to have new leadership for our pitching staff.”
Stricklin hopes to make a new hire soon.
“I’m looking for someone who will mesh well with the players,” Stricklin said. “Those assistant coaches are really close with those players, so I think it will be a guy who communicates really well, and relate to these young guys when he’s able to be around them.”

I just find it funny that we fired our pitching coach for finishing last in the conference in team ERA but keep our hitting coach for finishing second to last in team batting average

I really think ADGM is trying to sink our Athletics. There's no other explanation for this fricking bullshite . He came from Ufag... his goal is to destroy this fricking AD and he's doing a mighty fine job.

The man was a letterman at UGA, he was supposed to be our Manchurian candidate down in Gainesville! He's turned into a double agent! Time to grab the torches, pitchforks, some chicken feathers, and vat of hot tar.

I honestly think he and Morehead are playing some sort of longcon that they feel they're wise to that nobody else can see. They're so busy looking 20 and 30 years down the road and being ahead of the curve that they're missing the fact that they're falling 5 and 10 years behind our rivals right now. IMO this is what happens when you insulate yourself with yes men and are unwilling to take criticism. McGaritys response yesterday all but confirmed as much
Posted on 5/26/17 at 10:06 am to Crowknowsbest
Reading the last three paragraphs of that article makes McGarity seem like one of those idiotic, tinfoil conspiracy theorists.
Posted on 5/26/17 at 10:08 am to tylerdurden24
In an ideal world, the athletic department would be run by competent people so that Morehead could focus on matters more pertinent to running the actual University. The ideal university president for a good AD is one that is not involved.

Eh, sort of. If you subscribe to the true purpose of an athletic program with relation to the overall university being the so called "front porch of the university" then it makes sense that a University President would want to have a sizable role in that fundraising respect. Of course, this differs at every university depending on the organizational structure, the needs and goals of a university, and the role and expectations of the President. But at UGA I think it's pretty clear that the AD is a glorified accountant and the president's role is to drive giving and endowments and that's exactly what they're doing. Winning is only a priority insofar as it results in money rolling in and, right now, most of that cash flow is coming from a tv deal that doesn't care if they win. The only impetus to win is to keep the other revenue stream of private donors happy enough to write their checks. Ticket sales and concessions from us normal folk are peanuts in comparison so our anger over not winning doesn't register at that priority level.

See, I think this is stupid and should be changed. It doesn't work. The President doesn't and shouldn't care as much about winning in sports as a strong AD would.

I wholeheartedly agree. But that's what it appears we have.
ETA: To be clear, I think a school President will always have a vested interest in Athletics for the reasons I outlined in the beginning of my last post. However, does it need to go to the extent that UGA does and does it need to be organized the way UGA organizes it? Hell no.
