I'm hoping we murder Kentucky on the field. Seniors will be trying for a big game and everyone will be playing with a chip on their shoulder after the way the last one ended.
Regarding CMR's comment, it sounded like he was just trying to draw attention off of his DC in public. Yeah, all aspects of our game need improvement, so he called that out, but I bet he's super ticked at CTG for the way his defense continues to screw the pooch.
I'm sure CMR does feel that way but it doesn't show up in his action steps/priorities. If you assume that a HC, should place equal emphasis on offense and defense, then you would think that over the years the defense would be better than the offense some of those seasons. I would have to look up the stats, but my perception is that our defense has never been better than the offense under Richt.

The problem is that CMR doesn't micromanage the offense and defense, and he trusts his coordinators to get the job done so he can work on the bigger picture.
The freedom has allowed Bobo to flourish, but Grantham has greatly underwhelmed. And, because Richt is all about second chances, he's been really patient with CTG. The youth and inexperience excuse goes only so far (first few games?) but a good leader will try to develop their people and maximize their strengths as well as remove as many barriers as possible to success.
In this case, it looks like the players are being drilled in fundamentals (player development) and the playbook on defense is a huge barrier to success, and it doesn't seem like that has been changed. I would hope that CMR sits down with CTG after the season and puts him on a "performance improvement plan" (if he isn't let go outright after the season) to get his crap together for next season.
The frustration comes in for the fans because we aren't involved with the politics of an athletic department and we don't worry about budgets and contracts. Those sorts of things make decisions harder on the staff, so I'm sure they are trying to make fixes internally before they go seeking a replacement. It can get really expensive really fast to hire coaches and fire them before their contracts are up.
I hope CTG is gone after this season. The body of work he has amassed has not justified his salary, IMO.
