- colbie young is with team and practicing

- Kirby says he has the best staff in the country.

- most stable staff, built for the long haul

- "I want to see the fire. I want to see the passion and the energy. I want to see who cares about the game. Who cares more about the game than their NIL revenue stream… Usually the team who plays hardest wins.” more shots at Beck. Love it.

Coach seemed cranky and it ain't even spring yet. Needs to pace himself.

I’m convinced the biggest problem with last year’s team was Carson Beck. I’m no insider, but even I heard fairly credible information about him not being very well liked within the locker room. I don’t think he possessed the leadership qualities a big time program requires. In addition, his proclivity to pout when things didn’t go his way didn’t help his case. Nor did his Lamborghini. I’m excited to see what Gunner can do this year. He’s got a lot of weapons to get the ball to. It’s gonna be a good year.

Maybe on the D side of the ball, but 100% incorrect on the O side

It's the exact opposite for Gunner.

Kirby: "I hate this guy, the whole locker room hates him too, and he's not playing very well these last few games, but frick it, I'm going to keep playing him anyway."

Sounds logical. /s

Funny thing is, seems like he got sideways with JTD’s family and his relationship with SBIV wasn’t extra cozy either.

He can not like someone, can think they’re a pain in the arse, but still think they’re his best option

JT was a puss and went around team doctors to find someone that would say he should sit. Worked out great for him, huh?

Stet rightfully had a chip on his shoulder and could take some honest coaching unlike Beck who almost started crying I UF game when Kirby got on him for some of the worst interceptions I've ever seen

Easy Francis, no need to get your panties in a wad. First of all, my point about Carson Beck is providing an explanation or my opinion of what was wrong with the ‘24 team, unless you disagree there was something wrong. Regarding my comment about Kirby sticking with CB as QB, that wasn’t complaining either. But you can continue your role as a try-hard, JeffersonDawg wannabe. Every message board needs somebody like you.

For the record, CKS is the best coach in CFB and we’re lucky to have him.

He was not a team favorite, but the wrong was not him. It was a chemistry and good players not executing issue.

Yup. WRs constantly dropped the ball because they didn’t like the QB.

Kirby hates QBs who cut through his defense like butter. When Stetson played the part of Baker Mayfield and scored repeatedly on the first team defense he was banished.

Thank God for Roquan Smith, an all time great linebacker but his most impactful role at UGA was to tell Kirby the first team defense wanted Stetson back on the team.

Funny, our two most important players of all time had two vastly different stories, Herschel the Blue Chip and Stetson the No Chip who just won while our own bashed him.

We see the same people who bashed Stetson bashing a whole new generation of Dawgs. We see them post here still. They think they are as right now as they were then. The names have changed for some, but that’s about it.
