It isn't Disney to not live your life as a whiny, depressed, ars hole. It is kids playing a game for Richt's sake.
We are going to a bowl-UF and TN aren't even doing that.
People should be positive about next year at this point. If you are already negative about next year, then you my friend are a true downer.
Maybe fans that aren't such negative crappers is the problem and not the coaches.
For the heck of it, tell me what exactly Richt did wrong this year that would have made a difference?

Well if you're asking what he could've done to give me more hope and excitement for next year then I say fire Grantham for starters. Then when asked about special teams say something other than I don't think we really need to change the way we handle things. That would've made me smile just a little.

Was saying this year....but I hear yah.
Inevitably, people always want to hear a coach say he is going to change something. Not that change necessarily means improvement but it does at least instill some false sense of hope.
I am not a huge Grantham fan but I can see the benefits of bringing him back for one more year then making a change. He is definitely do or die next year, no doubt. In our worst loss of the year, Vandy, defense wasn't the main issue. As it turns out, nobody can stop Auburn. Missouri was on the offense imo. The D's worst game was Clemson for sure. Suspensions and young talent with no depth killed us.
As for special teams, we must find a return guy on punts and kickoffs. We were among the countries worst this year. Kickoff and punt coverage was pretty solid.
We had a great season on field goals and a good one on punts (minus two critical snaps). Why exactly we can't get the kickoff in the end zone is a mystery.
In whole, I am not sure a dedicated coach would fix our biggest problems. We need to recruit some guys for returns which was our biggest overall issue.

Dawgpost allows you to change how you view threads. You can change it to look like this board.
Carry on.
Carry on.

Bulldawg Illustrated is an awesome site. I highly recommend that one for you

Try the Crown Room.
Lots of folks who started out on the GAVSAV boards and matriculated from the original Dawgvent.
Tomfoolery is tolerated, but there's a pretty good bit of football and program knowledge and connection over there. Trolling is spotted pretty quickly, ignored, and zapped. And mouth-breathing rants get little attention, though you're free to criticize Richt et al - it just better have merit and not be mindless drivel.

Come hang with us a while on Dawgpost rig. It a good board with good honest discussion and debate....most of the time. Equal balance of Disneys and downers.

Out of curiosity I read through your list and picked some (most) out. Would you mind pointing out which ones are incorrect?

Why do you guys always forget about me?

I don't think anybody on here, Deeprig9 included, minds a little complaining. What gets me is the total "hair on fire" we gotta fire somebody...anybody, and "No, I don't know why, just because" attitude so many on here.
People don't use common sense or reasoning. They just want to fire somebody "because we have not won a National Championship". It's saying dumb stuff like Rich is a bad coach. I mean, some of you guys are just....crazy. You don't want to find out what is really wrong with the program. Just fire somebody. Because, obviously, if you fire somebody, you care.

Exactly. And thta is my problem. If you (not you in particular, but others on the board) want real change...meaningful change...change that could result in a National Championship, then step back and stop screaming "We gotta fire somebody!" and look at the program with clear eyes. Figure out what the problem is, then call for that change. But be reasonable. Don't scream "We gotta hire a Special teams coach!" Unless you know which coach we should fire. We are allowed only so many, so we would have to fire another coach. Which one could we do without?

I think we had the depth, finally. It was just a horifically inexperienced defense in a huge game. Scheduling was the problem there. When the schedule was made somebody didn't realize we would have such an inexperienced defense. Which is why we should not schedule huge games in the first two games of the season.

And, in the 2015 class we have one. The Griffin kid (Christian Owens--6'5" 205 WR)looks to fill the bill. We will see.

That's all you can ask.
And don't get me wrong. Some on here have very legitimate concerns and complaints. Others seem to look at the direction a thread is going and decide to pile on. Nothing new thoughtful or original to add...just stand around and yell, "Yeah! Yeah! Fire 'em all!"

Life,
No different that you coming to the defense of embattled disneys.
As for your reply to my post, you know perfectly well variations of these excuses have been floated for the last five years. Excuses, not results, are what the program is about. All teams have issues every year. The best of the best adapt and overcome.
So far the team has averaged over 4 losses a year for the last five years. Accounting for cream puffs -- one or two lower division or conference teams every year, Tech, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt -- as auto-wins 80-90 percent of the time -- this is unacceptable. Particularly when you factor the dumpster fires at UT and UF.
For me 10 wins in a 13-14 game season means Richt gets to stay, but no automatic extension. Harsh? Maybe. Unrealistic? Maybe for the majority of the fans and the AD. I don't care. It is my standard. What is yours?
