Agree 100% with this...
I do too.
But let's say we win 9.
I would helluva lot rather win 9 in Kirby's 1st year with all arrows pointing up then 9 in Richt's 15th with all arrows pointing down to sideways.
Oh, and play the kid. It's a no brainer.

I think that's where we're headed, but Kirby can't tip his hand like that.

I've always said if you know you're gonna suck with experience, why not suck with new blood?

The schedule is easier this year than last. Plus it has always been said that anyone can win 8-10 games at UGA. Well CKSid not supposed to be just anyone. I promise you he's expecting at least double digit wins and as a fan base we should to. You should not just lower expectations. And what new scheme, the defensive scheme is the same, and offensively, your not gonna see much different. This coaching change was about attitude, energy, and expectations. We aren't going to a new type of hybrid defense or switching to a HUNH offense with a pass run option. STOP lowering expectations. It's ridiculous, you just want to layout your excuses now just invade UGA has a worse record than last year. I can guarantee if the dawgs don't win 10 , Kirby, the team, and staff will be pissed. Hell he was pissed the defense wasn't getting turnovers in the first half of a practice. And the type of fanbase UGA deserves should be pissed to!
I understand what you are saying, and i can't blame you. Everybody on here that wanted Richt gone made the criticism that ANY coach could and SHOULD win 10 a year, every year.
HOWEVER, we have a coaching staff that is new to working with each other. The dynamics of decision making during game situations are complicated and the chemistry a coaching staff has to have with one another takes time.
While the plays will be similar, the verbiage used among coaches will be different and the coaches and players will have to get used to it. This is CKS first year as a Head Coach and he will find that things are a whole lot different than when you are an assistant. Communicating with the coaches in the press box and along the sidelines while following the game and making decisions will be something that will take a while to master. Preparing an entire game plan as opposed just a defensive game plan will be new. A new, young QB....there are just so many fluid and moving pieces. Give him a few years before you start making too many great demands.
I am hoping for 9-10 wins this year, bu I won't be ready to run him off if we get 8. Hopefully, Smart will not lose to teams we should beat. Let's face it....Ole miss, Florida and Tennessee all bring in coaching staffs and players with more experience than ours. Shoot....Auburn is a wild card. Right now they look like a dumpster fire, but how many times have they looked like that and come out with a very good year? And who knows (Really) what to expect out of North Carolina?
Let's cool our heels and give Kirby a chance and not start making win or be fired ultimatums until ha has a chance to get his feet wet, and get his players, coaches etc in the program.

Not sure I agree that all arrows were pointing down or sideways with Richt. He just couldn't get us to next level. I think things were going in the right direction....he just couldn't QUITE get over that hump.

Would that be up, sideways or down?

Well I won't and no one should be ready to run him off, no matter what. I'm looking forward to what the dawgs could be 5 years from now, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be playing meaningful games in November either immeadiately.
The terminology will not be that differnt , the checks on both sides of the ball yesterday were no different than they have been for 3 years. And the coaches getting used to each other, they all come from relatively the same coaching tree, and have know each other for years. They just all have gotten promotions.
But what you said I don't have a quarrel with, it's the CMR "haters" not the ones who just thought it was time for a change , but those who hated him we he was winning the division, just do not like him. Those that were demanding 10 win seasons and still not happy cause they just hate. And now they are pumping the breaks saying there's no way we can win 10 games that 8 will be a miracle, when if it was still CMR they would be saying we should be in the playoffs , with the exact same talent.
I just think based on schedule and returning talent UGA has a chance. 4 game in my mind a landmines, UNC, OM, UT, UF, all the other games the dawgs have more talent, period. A better QB no matter who starts, and the better weapons all over the feild. I think at worst we go 2-2 in those 4, so that's 10-2, if we lose 3 that's 9-3 , with a bowl game to get to 10. With 4 true tests , should KS expect to at least win 1?

Totally agree with this. I always felt like the team lacked urgency or fire for the lack of a better word while under Richt.

See...now you're sounding like one of those guys that was pissed when CMR got fired and is looking for the "gotcha" if CKS wins less than 10 games.
I give a new coaching staff a pass for year 1 unless they were going into a team that was completely loaded. We have talent yes....but we're far from loaded.

Every 1st year coach deserves break pumps. Coaches in year 16 dont.
No one hated Richt when we won the division in 2002, 2003, and 2005. When we finally won it again in 2011, we lost to every good team we played with a blowout in the dome, so a bunch of love wasnt earned. When we won it again, it was one of the most painful losses in our history due in large part to horrible roster mgmt, and its hard to celebrate that.

I'd like the record to show that you pump "brakes", while you catch "breaks".
Carry on.
Carry on.

Absolutley not! I thought it was time for both parties to seperate , it had gotten stale and both were ready for a change. However those are those who are preparing and saying just in case we lose 4-5 games , t say we're rebuilding. And that is just not the case. UGA is reorganizing and improving , but not rebuilding. It's the first time I can remeber a team fired a coach after a 10-3 season, so for someone to say rebuild , they look foolish. They are those who did not want CMR fired and were pissed and if the dawgs go 8-4 will say see told ya, but that's not me. And then the haters will say we are rebuilding, and that's just not the case. I am as excited about the dawgs since the 80-82 and since 2001-05, I see a renewal in the dawg nation. But I'm looking for championships and continued double digit wins, and want back down from that because I'm afraid someone will say see I told ya!

I hear ya...and we're on the same page. Im just trying to temper my own expectations with a work in progress o line and possible freshman QB. I expect the defense to be good and expect to see improvement throughout the year. The fact that CKS is focusing on line depth tells me we're already better off with him at the helm.

Thanks for the clarification.

So far Eason seems to have a canon and good vision. He seems to have better instincts and can see the entire field better than Lambert. Lambert could be a good pocket passer but he has weaknesses. His decision-making process is too slow and he has a weak release. Eason appears to have all of the tools that you want in the offense that UGA wants to run. Dude puts some good zip on the ball. Time will tell.

Its not the first time a coach was fired after a bad team was put on the field, which is exactly what we were last year.

I say we go ahead and start the Fire Kirby thing now. It's what we do... It's who we are...

Unprepared team is better diagnosis , a bad team generally refers to talent; which just is not the case (excluding the QB position).
And the lack of focus and energy is why a change was made, it was time. But that has nothing to do with talent, and is impossible to guess as how easy it can be fixed.
When there is talent issues, it's easier to expect down years, (UT). But when there are glimpse of greatness and the problems seem to be driven from an emotional or attitude that's different and given the right coach ( I believe we have that) might be fixable in short fashion ( in respects to the division title ).

Who said that?
I said the fanbase should have great expectations, the coaches and players do!
I wasn't the one saying screw Kirby a few years ago when he turned us down as DC. Always thought he'd be the next hire and glad for it!
