Stop making excuses. This team wasn't ready to play. Georgia hasn't been ready to play since week 1. They're making sloppy
I stakes that should be easily corrected. This is on coaching.

I never said we were overlooking them.

All we've heard for the last 3 weeks were about how poor the practices have been. That's a coaching issue and one that the coaching staff has so far failed to correct.

It'll be interesting after Kirby Smart leaves having won nothing, to see if our fans shift to blaming him, or continue blaming Richt for the next coach's failures.

Your boy does work in mysterious ways, so it's always possible.

These are real issues that Richt would have faced himself. Not excuses.

I understand. These are classic defense mechanisms used by every fan base. I watched Tennessee fans blame Lane Kiffin for Derek Dooley's first two years, even when it was completely obvious he didn't know how to be a major college head coach.

Get Richt's dick out of your mouth before you suffocate on his balls....

And now the 3rd grade insults begin. Folks that couldn't tolerate a positive word about Richt when he was winning 10 games a year, now can't bear the thought of Kirby being criticized for a total stinker. I guess you guys really thought Nicholls State was an anomaly, or maybe our talent really has sunk to lower FCS levels in a single offseason.

If Kirby shows no improvement after year 3 then shite will start to heat up - although building a staff of redshirt Jr. and Sr linemen takes time.

Next year - no blaming CMR. This year? It's still mostly his guys.

I'm sure Smart will get three years. Got no crystal ball so maybe he'll improve and lead us to championships. But I'm not gonna deceive myself and say that this is on Richt. The coaches have had a BAD 4 game start. Haven't been impressed yet with preparation, scheme, motivation, or execution. Somewhere in there Mark Richt ceases to be the immediate problem.

Then I will make it simple for you.

When you do not have the personnel needed to run the schemes of the coordinators we have hired, this is what you look like.

I personally think Smart kept the guys playing hard until we got overwhelmed today.

I really don't understand how you can look at what we've put on the field and say it's a coaching issue.


We had to get a transfer from freaking Rhode Island to land a starting spot on our o line.


What we witnessed today was a direct result of piss poor recruiting over the past 4 years.

IDGAF who the coach is, you will not win in the SEC if you don't have an offensive and defensive line. Smart didn't recruit these guys, he hasn't even been here for a full year yet.

We do not have the players that we need to be a successful football team right now. And this probably won't be the only ugly loss we have this year.

By the time 2018 rolls around and we look like this, yes you can put all the blame on Kirby. But you can't seriously tell me you don't think that what we've witnessed so far is 100% on Kirby.

Well I mean you could, but it would just make you an idiot.

I never understood the "you're an idiot" argument. I guess it's supposed to intimidate the person you disagree with.

Anyway, from my viewpoint I don't see how anyone can't see major coaching issues in these first four games. This team does not do a SINGLE THING well or consistently. Not one. If that's on Mark Richt, then he clearly is much more powerful than I ever understood.

Dead on. The 2013 and 2014 recruiting debacles are killing this team. Richt left this team in a toilet and everyone expects Kirby to turn it around. He needs time, and I'm willing to give it to him.
