I might be wrong but he may suffer a fate like Muschamp with growing pains. He will hitch his wagon to Eason and if that kid starts all 12 games this year....look for 6-6 or 7-5 year with the future brighter with the experience gained. It will depend on the dawgs patience....go 7-5, 8-4 then 8-4 again....the fans will get restless.

Richt had a charmed life...went 6-7 with a lot of talent and lasted about five or six more years. UGA fans are probably tired of "almost"...they wanna see championships won.

He will be nothing like Mushchump. Eason has enough talent around him that it doesn't matter if he is a freshman. He is going to make growin pains, granted, but losing 6 games?? Not a chance. I guarantee you that UGA wins no less than 9 games. Saying they will go 6-6 is absolutely absurd and then 8-4 the next 2 years is absurd.

Jeez....you are guaranteeing 9 wins with a rookie HC and True frosh QB? Not saying it won't happen, but 7-8 wins is the more likely scenario and it wouldn't be a bad thing. I agree I don't see 6 losses.

8 is where I'd put my money.

Regular season? Too much Sunshine and Rainbows man. Realistic output for this year is 8-9 wins, with upside, but don't kid yourself into thinking we couldn't lose more games.

Most likely games that could be losses:
UNC
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Florida

Assuming 3 losses from that pool, 9-3. That doesn't even account for a possible random loss to an Auburn or a Tech, which would be unexpected but not impossible to imagine. Brand new system, new coaching staff, uncertainty about Chubb, Freshman QB... all of these things have an impact. Is it *possible* we win 9 or more, absolutely. But it's outlandish claims like yours above that get you put into "tOffseason Champs" category... leave that shite to UTk.

eta: You probably posted in one of the other 47 off season threads about predicting season, but what games are you anticipating we win/lose next season. I don't hate the enthusiasm, it's the phrasing. "Guarantee" is awful strong in the face of the schedule I'm looking at. I will also admit that I am probably still going through "ranked team win withdrawal" so have a hard time picturing a well prepared team for a big matchup.
