Hall of Fame coach Jim donnan didn't say Kent St was good. He said the QB is good.
The QB has the ol Jeff George wrist flick down pretty good. It was impressive to see. Fastest release that I've seen in college in at least a decade. Zone coverage. Eyes on the QB. And the defender can't break fast enough on the receiver because the ball is out so fast.
QB made mistakes too. He threw a YOLO ball that got picked off in double coverage. Was off target a few times.
I haven't watched the SEC bottomfeeders yet this season. So I don't know it Hall of Fame coach Donnan is correct. But the QB for the zips has some talent.

No, but he did say "stay away from Albert Means. We don't want any part of what's going on with that."

There was not even a hint of this claim of yours in the post.

Of course he is, how could a claim like this be anything other than making excuses for UGA’s performance? Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt

Jim Donnan contributed to UGAs underachieving as much as any coach. He was just another coach that couldn't really handle the big stage.
would you say the same about literally every coach in NCAA history that didn't win a natty? Donnan inherited the absolute dumpster fire that was the ray goff era that was riddled with losing seasons, progrma apathy, and a jan kemp situation that self imposed restrictions on our recruiting that no other sec teams (ok, probably vandy) had to deal with. He eleveated our recruiting immediately and put a much better product on the field than his predecessor. We were losing regularly under goff and beginning in donna's second year won 10 games (something we only did 1 other time that decade) and beat UF, then won 9, 8,8 game teh rest of the way. Remember most of htose seasons only had 11 regular season games as well.
Donnan served a very important role in UGA football history dragging us out of the muck and mire left by goff to be able to stand on our feet again, then handed the baton to richt who took us from being on our feet to ruhnning again, who then handed it off to kirby who's made us fly. All have served their purpose in their own way.

Donnan can say what he wants to say but don't use that to defame us old dudes.
We have seen a lot and in my case remember a lot.

If every coach left it better than his predecessor, then the improvements were very minor or your view is FOS. UGA underachieved under Donnan and Richt and really didn't have much to show for their tenure. Especially since some of Donnan time occurred when the SEC was just UF. Both were in the middle of the recruiting hotbed, yet an all-star team of players who left the state would kick UGAs arse.

It's not really debatable what he said. We're talkign about actual, real life on the field results, not views.

UGA underachieved under Donnan
according to who? People always try to point out how shitty our program is and how uf/au/ut/lsu are all better than us so how exactly did we underachieve?
That was a bit facetious as I do agree we somehwat underachieved, but the problem was that we had 2 other teams in our divison that were nationally elite at the same time. That'd be like blaming arkansas or ole miss in the current era for not being elite while ignoring that they happen to have saban on the schedule yearly.

now you're just being silly. That doesn't even require follow up.
quote:

Yeah, "just" a team in our divsion that we play yearly which prevented us from ever winning the east. "just" a team that was regularly in teh top 5 and national title contenders and pretty much ran the league for a decade.

Do you think UGA was allowed to sign 98 recruits every year? You could only get around 20 or so and all the rest had to go elsewhhere. Donnan was a perfectly fine recruiter and actually had the #1 class nationally in '98 according to some services

good thing we upgraded to a better coach in richt then

Kent State has a good shot at winning the MAC. They’re a decent football team.

Ummm. UF and Tennessee in the 90s. Both in the East.

Also said Kent State's QB would start for most of the bad SEC teams, including Auburn.
There are some kids playing this Friday night, that would probably start at Auburn.

That eliteness happens because of the competition. Just like the dynamics of the SECE, if certain programs are average at best then some teams just breeze through the schedule. Something the SECW hasn't seen most years. Why you have seen the run of UGA recently. Where UK is their biggest competition.

UGA underachieved due to the talent available and the competition many years.

No, Bama always had LSU or AU to compete with and one year Ole Miss, MSU and AU were all in the CFP top 4. UGA rarely played Bama during their best run in their history.

What was UGAs record those years? What was their record against UF during the Donnan and Richt eras, while playing the game at a neutral site?

I am sure the ones UGA did sign were highly rated in HS. The staffs just didn't develop the players, which is something those 3 stars did when they got away.
I said for years that UGA was a sleeping giant due to their location. Even with Kirby, the team still has holes that shouldn't be there.

I watched the Missouri-Auburn game this past weekend and I am absolutely ready to believe that any football team you care to name is better than either of those two.
