Fire Grantham

Put the liquor away Chad and get sleep.

dbuch is right...dawgs OL is much better than ours and that is also mixed in with jersey grabbing. Fromm had all day to throw and Grantham tried every kind of blitz....but it usually cost us when it was picked up enough to allow Fromm time to throw. We held the dawgs run game in check for almost 3 quarters and forced Fromm to throw.

Offense was the culprit and we never made 3rd downs to keep defense off the field.

Straws you never blamed the defense when Franks was QB. Not really once.

Our defense stuffed the dawg run game almost all game and held them to FGs when they score until worn out. We had something like 28 snaps on offense in the late 3rd qt. You cant win many games like that. Dawgs OL kept our defense away from Fromm, who was never sacked. No DC is going to look good when that happens.

Swift was averaging something like 2 yds a carry in the early 3rd qt. Defense needed help from offense which it never got. UGA knew we had to pass and couldn't run. If the defense really had played poorly we would have been down 3 TDs at halftime.

Yes, the defense laid eggs at times and the 56 yd TD throw was a back breaker. The defense was getting beat mentally and physically by then. You need the offense to do something to get juiced.

Hopefully after yesterday anyone that thinks any of underclassmen are ready to go to the NFL are not saying this now Henderson and Wilson definitely needs to come back they are far from ready to be NFL corners the only person that even tried to show up in our defensive backfield yesterday was Shawn Davis.

Trey Dean is getting picked on and if I was an OC I would throw at him early and often he has digressed and not sure if he will ever be anything more then just a body on defense and gotta get on Brad Stewart he did not even try to do anything on basically the last play of the game 3rd and 7 and the tight end was wide open with Stewart getting there with both hands in the air after the caught it.

The players have to take responsibility on some of these plays Georgia's wide receivers had been at best mediocre and yesterday look like the best in the SEC players have to take blame for that not coaches

It isn't Grantham's fault that the right defense is called but guys like Marco cant tackle....who are we replacing him with? Burney got burned several times by RBs and TEs...who we replacing him with? The list goes on. 99% of the team put tremendous effort into the game...but as Top Billin said " we have to have Jesses and Joes.

Grantham's and Mullen's gameplan was to stop the run and force Fromm to beat us. Well...he did....but look at the score and our defense held them time after time when Fromm got no pressure. Not Grantham's fault that both Zuniga and Greenard were not 100% and with a seeing eye dog as a back judge some jersey grabbing was seen. As seems the norm...we get the flags that others don't.

Its simple to have kneejerk reaction and say fire this coach, fire that coach after a loss. It always happens. And usually some that are calling for heads don't understand what really happened in the game. But its an outlet for their anger. Trust me...I was sick for a while after the fiasco.

I'm not on the "fire Grantham" train but there are several gruesome problems he needs to fix:

1. Stop playing soft zone.

I fricking hate it. All of it. Every time. I hate letting teams get easy passes. I would rather our DBs get put on islands and occasionally lose but get pressure every other down than just let a QB sit there and pick apart soft zone.

2. Recognize the limitations of your players.

There are several players on defense who are very obviously uncomfortable in their position and who are, frankly, not good enough to be having so much time in those respective positions.

At safety we have two clear starters and the guys they rotate with (a lot during the game) are clearly not good enough. Dean is a fantastic perimeter CB who obviously (anyone with eyes can see it) cannot get it done as an interior or Nickel DB. Too long, too much difficulty with the agility part, a lot of problems.

He's been stoned several games now, flat out picked on. Thrown on on so many downs.

Grantham needs to fix these glaring problems and fix them now. They've cost us two games.

Yeah, Let's panic like FSU and start firing everybody!!!

If we win the next 3 games that we will be favored in and should win, this team will be 10-2! Win a bowl and finish 11-2! How many UF teams in history have won 11 games in a season? Mullen and his staff are coaching their asses off to win games this year. We have lost to 2 top 10 teams with an inferior O line, lack of depth across the field and a with a back up QB. Stop the Negagator shite and support the team.

You heard it here first. We ain't beating Mizzou.

I'm not big on ban bets but I 'll bet you a 1 year ban from this board that we don't!

Frickin Negagators.

I don't see how y'all can watch the product that was displayed last saturday and think that we're 100% gonna be mizzou.

Where did I say that it was 100% that we would beat Mizzou? We should and probably will beat Mizzou.
You started this conversation with the statement that UF won't beat Mizzou, something like, "You heard is here first, BS."

And yes ban and sig bets are dumb but I am so tired of fair weather fans on this board jumping on the team and coaches at the first sign of something going wrong, that I am willing to risk it.

We hope change is coming.

But Mullen has to actually fire the Knox's and the English's and bring in the recruiters before that change happens.
