This isn't possible. We recruit as well as anyone.

Hell yeah...top 10 classes almost every year. The problem is that we may well be #5 in the nation but we are #4 in the conference and may well be the third best class in the SEC East.....at the flagship institution in one of the most fertile CFB recruiting grounds in the nation. The question is why? And the answer is because football just ain't that important at UGA. From a university standpoint that is admirable....as a fan it sucks. We simply don't feel that winning is all that important....its nice and if we get to the point where we lose more than we don't we would change whatever was necessary but as a program a SEC title every 20 years or so is good enough. There is no more perfect example of that than Mark Richt sticking around way longer than he was interested in doing and the fact that so many fans of the dawgs still lament that he left when he did.

This is why I am a Bulldog fan. As a kid Vince Dooley teams won a lot of games they had no business being in....we weren't a dominant program and didn't win national titles every year....in fact only won one...the only real one we have ever won...but we were a team that even the dominant power houses didn't want to play because they had better be on their toes or they would get beat. We haven't been that team in 30 years. probably wasn't that team prior to Dooley either. We are a second tier program period and there is no commitment or reason to change that ever.

If Kirby Smart doesn't win the SEC East in 2017 he should be allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere. He won't be...he will be given 5-6 seasons. I think he will win the SEC East by his third season....I think he is a good fit for UGA....He most likely won't embarass the university and with our weak assed schedule he will win 8-10 games a year and will get some love in the pre-season by the pundits for being a contender in the SEC....and that is all we can hope for. Some will say we had that with Mark Richt but it was fading and fading fast....as our talent level this season indicates. Smart will feel a need to work like hell recruiting....Richt would have continued to be in the top 10 nationally and the top 8 in the conference....
