Feelings on the SEC coaches performance this year.

I agree except for Richt. I think he had some key injuries on the line this year and his offensive line was very young. He is a good coach he just can't seem to get all of the talent in place at the same time.

Tend to agree with Scoop about Coach Richt but discipline is a big problem on our team and needs to be addressed in the off-season before it gets completely out of hand. UGA was the 2nd most penalized team this season and the numerous off the field incidents are totally unacceptable.

Also, everyone talks about Georgia's talent but from my perspective most of our talent and youth is on offense. On defense we have 3 Seniors on the DL and Owens (Junior) who might be jumping to the NFL.

We are also losing 2 Seniors in the DB and possibly our best CB, Asher Allen, who will be draft eligible as a Junior. The point being is our defense did not perform well this season and might be even worse next season depending on how well our defensive recruits fill in.

Mark has made it clear that he is not making any assistant coaching changes but says he is committed to revamping our football program from top to bottom otherwise; whatever that means.

Injuries were a huge factor for our team this season. We had 18 players who missed multiple games some of which were out for the entire season including our best offensive and defensive linemen, Sturdivant and Owens respectively.

The 64 dollar question is why did we have so many injuries? Is it all just bad luck, something in our conditioning or playing out of control? Who can say?

I'll trust your opinion but I just don't think UGA was expected to lose 3 games this year and with one of them being Georgia Tech.

By the way, I left off the schools who have head coaching changes because it is understood that the coaches under performed. I thought Croom should have stayed for another year though.

Saban- over acheived
Miles- under acheived even with the dismissal of QB
Nutt- over acheived
Meyer- Reached expectations
Richt- under performed even with the grueling schedule
Spurrier- just don't know how to judge this guy anymore
Petrino- earned his keep by beating LSU
Brooks- about what was expected
Vanderbilt- good first half of the season.

I think you're right on the money for the most part.

With regard to Miles though, sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. I think some LSU fans are being a little too fast to criticize him. But that's just me, I was in favor of giving Shula one more year, so what do I know.

If my coach kicked a 63 yarder into the win, then I'd be a bit miffed as well.
