Kid came in wanting everything handed to him...I'm glad UGA held firm and was going to make him EARN it. Go beat Fromme if you want it, and work harder til you get it biotch.

Coaches have contracts and have to usually pay buyouts. To say coaches leave with no penalty us mostly false.

I don’t think he gets the waiver


Depends on his attorney, but I think he gets it based on the fact that they baseball player was specifically talking about him.

Fields never heard the slur. The drunk baseball player was kicked out of school.

How long before a player who wants to transfer out simply orchestrates a hot-button issue (race, especially) incident in order to get out without the sit year?

And how long before a team who needs a QB hooks up a 5 star riding the bench by orchestrating it for him?

His dad felt like the starting job at Georgia should have been gifted to him , otherwise what were allllllllll the meetings with Daddy about. Daddy wanted him to start and start now....the race card tactic is tragic, to get instant eligibility. He may prove to not be able to beat out the other QB talent at Ohio State.....either way like a Georgia fan poster said on another thread when looking at all the meetings from Daddy and meddling from Daddy and now this I feel as if Georgia is dodging a bullet with this kid.


I don't believe this. Today in college football you can no longer have a high profile backup and expect him to not run your full offense. Saban and Dabo figured this out. All Kirby had to do was have Fields do more than hand the ball off and run designed QB runs. Kirby mishandled the situation because he did not want a QB controversy and it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned with having the best QB playing. And, I say it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned about having the best QB playing because if both QBs are running the full offense it will become clear who is better. Kirby simply didn't adjust to the new reality in college football.

Those days are already over. These UGA fans really are showing how insecure they are.

It's not "mostly false". It's an absolute lie.

A backup is just a backup....he is not entitled to anything. Practice throughout the season and competition in preseason aka more practice dictated that Fromm would remain as the starter and Fields would be the backup. If he had established himself or performed better he would have been the starter. It does not matter how high profile a recruit you are you are not entitled anything .....to think otherwise is ludicrous. I believe that he is a prima Donna and his daddy was meddling on overdrive most teams backups don’t see the field , high profile or not, the country is littered with 4 or 5 star recruits on the bench that haven’t earned playing time yet. Alabama and Clemson are rare and unique situations the other 99% have their backs ups not see the field unless injury or mop up duty. This kid and his dad feel was entitled to the job without earning it, if he had earned it he would have been on the field as the starter. Kirby I believe was trying to keep him and daddy happy by allowing him spot duty here and there, but he wasn’t ready to run the full offense more than likely and even if he was he more than likely had not proved he could run it more efficiently and effectively than Fromm. Seems you do not understand how football works or just believe in entitlement

So, Fields, in your opinion, didn't earn the right to run the full offense. But, he earned the right to be put in the game awkwardly with no packages for him to run and very few passing plays for him? Even if Fields was to stay Kirby and co. had completely mishandled him because if you are going to burn a year of his eligibility at least do yourself and your team a favor by developing his skills once he's in the game. People like you and Kirby think you're doing something but all you're doing is screwing yourself. You know Kirby done f-ed right?

He had plays to run, ...and you are looking at this in reverse. You are assuming he was a victim instead of he just wasn’t developed enough yet or possibly not capable or qualified to run the entire playbook, what proof do u have he even understood it....none.
It’s the same argument unqualified people have that they weren’t hired for a job, “they were screwed over” instead of facing the reality that they weren’t qualified....no more No less than they simply weren’t skilled or qualified enough.
What proof do u have that he was even capable of running the full offense or all the packages. There is no proof, in almost 100% of the situations like this the reason they aren’t running the full offense is they aren’t capable yet, also in blow outs you are not going to keep running your offense full tilt, he was in those games to get him game time and to keep the actual starter healthy, learn the game, it will help u grasp concepts like this. He was put in games to keep him and his dad happy.

If you're right why put him in any damn game?! What was the point of putting Fields in games negating a year of his eligibility?

See if you say Fields didn't know the plays, couldn't read defenses, etc. it's going to come back to why was the coaching staff burning a year of his eligibility. Fields really could have rode the pine the entire season for what UGA used him for.
