UNACCEPTABLE


so, he should be fired if we go 6-6?

it's not like CMR left the cupboard bare.


we lose a few OL starters, have a true freshman QB coming from lily white Washington to play in teh SEC, Chubb may not be fully healthy to start, lose Malcolm at WR, and lose some key players on defense too. All while breaking in an entirely new coaching staff and trading out one of our gimme games for a team currently ranked 10th.

Now, I don't think we go 6-6. I'm just playing devils advocate here. People thinking we'll go better than 9-3 simply because that's what we did hte last 2 years aren't being rational.

UGA should compete for the division next year,


you realize it's entirely possible, if not probable, that the 2 east teams that beat us last year will be better this year?

less than 9 wins and 2//3 in division , is not acceptable!


so 8-4 being unacceptable means...what exactly? He should be fired?

Well of course not.

How ever expectations should not be tempered. this is not a re-building job.

You list what we've lost. How about the 22 freshmen that played last year on a possible 10 win team.
Eason will , more than likely at least be equal to what we have considering he is an EE and will have spring practice. We had #6 class last year and at least that this year. The shelves are stocked.

UF is losing a ton on defense, they had 5 JR declare today. Plus will be breaking in a new QB more than likely.

For years everyone has claimed that winning 8-9 games a year is easy at UGA.

So yeah, if we don't win 9, there should be some pressure and heat applied.

I have no idea where everyone gets off pumping the breaks , wanting to not set expectations high.
They should be high, this is not a REBUILDING JOB. if CMR was retained, ya'll would be calling for an SEC title or his head next year with the returning team.
