I just don't know why we didn't go after a proven head coach. The leadership makes me question our ability to ever be nationally relevant in the years ahead.

The coaches are new and learning also.
I'm not sure what some of you guys expected this year. Richt left the talent pretty lean at pretty much every position besides RB & TE.
Defense played lights out.
Kirby didn't miss wide open WR's
Kirby didn't drop passes
Kirby didn't screw up on special teams
So next year when UGA is steam rolling through the SEC East try to remember Kirby, Chaney, and Tucker are all bums.
Give the Man some years.
frick.

The defense gave up a big drive to the worst offense in the SEC at a critical time in the game. I wouldn't call that lights out.
The offensive play calling was terrible.
Georgia was penalized on the first 2 plays of the game. The players looked like they didn't know what they were doing...on the very first plays of the game.
The special teams coaching is non-existent.
The team looks like it stopped lifting weights as soon as Richt left. They are weak.
Kirby continuously made bad decisions as the head coach.

Play calling has been awful all year. Fire the million dollar man before the Florida game.
Our defense with a few exceptions thinks the way to tackle is to dance with the runner until he tires out and falls down.
I cannot imagine why our highly rated recruits on the d line cannot rush like it means something. They stop their rush as soon as they smell the o lineman's breath.
This was Vanderbilt...let it sink in...Vanderbilt beat us on homecoming in our stadium with 2 and 3 star players who wanted the win more than ours. Sad.

Maybe you enjoy losing to Vanderbilt.
Richt lost to Vandy in 13, along with 4 other teams and that was with Murray at QB in year 5.

As much as I want Kirby to be successful at UGA I don't think he was quite ready. He has no prior head coaching experience and it's showing 
. He probably should've started at a cupcake school and waited till he had a few years of experience before he came to UGA.
Now everyone has to deal
With A LOT of growing pains.

Richt didn't have any either and won the SEC in his second year.
All first year head coaches have growing pains, it's natural and expected. While I'm certainly not happy with where we sit now, to say kirby can't or won't be successful is laughable. He's coached 7 games in his career.

It typically does take more than 7 games.
Richt made some poor clock management decisions after his 10th year. He made questionable assistant coaches decisions. Our special teams play was suspect the past 5-6 years.
I loved Mark Richt, (As a coach, so don't go there, guys!) but he was not perfect. He was a human being. I am sick and tired of people pointing fingers at mark Richt for stuff he is not responsible for, but it is just as wrong to put the entire blame on Kirby Smart.
Should Smart be criticized when he screws up? Absolutely. Should Richt have been criticized when he screwed up? Absolutely. This board just seems to go running too far in one direction or the other. (Blaming Mark Richt for everything or blaming Kirby Smart for everything...or not giving any blame at all to either one) No happy, middle ground. neither of them is perfect, nor will they ever be. Nick Saban is not perfect either.

why are we even still talking about richt? He's not here anymore. The only thing we can and should blame richt for is the awful roster situation we inherited for this year. Granted that's a big one, but everything else from the start of this season to now is on this staff. Not sure how there could be any debate on that.

It's not the right move, if you go from averaging 10 wins a year to 6 wins a year.
Post their record too, because I think the best team we beat last year was 7-6. Pathetic for a 10 win team.

Who cares? we won 10 games. We are playing a schedule that is arguably easier than last year and we are not winning 10 games. Who have we beaten this year that is any good?

Georgia Southern. 9-4. Went to a Bowl game.
Auburn 7-6
Penn Sate 7-6
There' you three. Nobody said it was a great season. He is saying it is better than what we are getting this year. Care to argue that point?
ETA
I just sw what thread this was in....I in no way believe that our coaching staff is a disgrace. I want to make that perfectly clear.

I am a as big a Richt fan as the next guy BUT.... it was time for him to go. He outlived his usefulness by at least 3 or maybe as much as 5 years. Richt was only going to get us so far. Let's just admit that. I could drone on about the positives and negatives about Richt but who GARA. Thy jury is still out on Smart. We will see if he is was a good decision or a bad on. But... we have to give Smart a couple of years. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater... I have to say.. I am concerned at this point.

Richt needing to go and Smart possibly being a bad hire are two separate decisions. I'm still glad Richt is gone. It's not like he never blew games like this.
Yup. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is just silly.
Richt lost at least one game every season he shouldn't have. And his teams would come up small in big moments. Once you accept that as true, you know that he will never get Georgia a Championship. It was time to move on.
Whether or not Smart was the right hire is a completely different question. I thought he was but I have to admit I am a little dismayed at this point.

Year two is usually when programs make a big leap if they are going to. That's when Richt got us his first SEC title. That's when Saban at Alabama really took off. This year is a transition year. I just hope Kirby learns a lot from it and that next season can be special. I really hope we are not looking at a FLA or Tenn situation where it takes a couple hires to find the right guy.

Either way. We traded Alabama for Ole Miss who has lost 3 games. We can go round and round. (And we have) The schedules are very, very close....especially when you consider we traded Alabama, the National Champions for a team with three losses and will likely have 2-3 more. BIG drop off.
