What kind of a question is that?

Who exactly do you have a problem with that Pittman recruited?

Name all the guys that caused you to ask that silly question.

I'll wait.

Every one of those was landed during the dubious Freeze years, no? Luke recruited and coached them up either way... Hard to then fault him for dealing with the wreckage left behind but not give him credit for their success also...

It's as good of a position hire as you could make after losing Pittman.

I like this Hire. Only time will tell how good it was, but not sure we could have done much better this close to early signing period AND replacing the best Oline Coach in the country.

Kudos to Kirby as that shite was quick too.

It's the kind of question that I felt the fuk like asking since our o-line was behind such a piss poor offensive season that, in spite of the #2 D in the country, caused the TEAM to shite the bed, again.

So I'll ask it again, sperm breath. What good did that o-line do? We're on the outside again looking in, in spite of that o-line and a better defense than any of the teams in the playoffs.

Who asks silly questions?

I'll wait.

Wow, clearly you're on the defensive because you got put on the spot and couldn't actually answer the question.

I was civil, but you freaked out. What's the problem? Bad day?

I'll try again...

Who exactly did Pittman recruit that apparently caused our season to be so awful, according to you?

Can you actually answer that question? Or are you just going to get hyperbolic again to deflect being put on the spot?

My personal weigh in on this is that I’m very glad the days of Pat Allen and kublanow at like 295 being guards is over however I think kindley and hill are a tad too large and seem to struggle in the screen game and overall mobility. Granted like I said I’ll take that over little guards getting slammed back every play.

I’m extremely excited about this hire. If not for his coaching abilities on the O-Line (which were pretty damn good with less talent) but his ability(ies) to adjust/create opportunities with the offensive players he has available. I honestly think this is Kirby’s best hire yet.

The thing I liked about Pittman is that he actively hunted for extra extra large sum bitches.


And what good did it do?

Okay, I’ll type slowly for you. Read over my response carefully. Take your time. Okay, WHAT GOOD DID IT DO? Pittman has recruited XL sum bitches everywhere he’s been, including UGA. Tell me one place where he’s been that it really made a difference.

I’ll wait.

We got big OL's that don't get pushed around, don't give up many sacks, and usually open up holes for the run game?

I mean this year was an anomaly because the playbook and play calling was beyond horrible and obnoxiously predictable.

Fromm sat in shotgun virtually all season, and if the RB lined up on the left of Fromm and a TE and WR on the right lined up tight, it was 100% going to be a run play to the right A or B gap.

If the RB lined up on the right of Fromm and a TE and WR on the left lined up tight, it was 100% going to be a run play to the left A or B gap.

If Zamir White entered the game at all, 19 out of 20 times it was going to be an off-center dive up the middle.

If Fromm went under center, 90% of the time it was an off-center dive play up the middle.

And that encompassed nearly our entire run game all season.

A handful of toss sweeps and reverses, with maybe 1 out of 20 run attempts being an outside zone run, and that's it. The rest were inside the tackles and everyone, including my 16 year old daughter, knew where they were going before the ball was snapped.

Of course the OL looked uncharacteristically underwhelming this year compared to the last 2 years. Every goddamn person on the planet knew exactly WTF our run play was all damn season.


So here's the list:

Pat Allen
Sage Hardin
Solomon Kindley
Sam Madden
Ben Cleveland
Justin Shaffer
Andrew Thomas
Netori Johnson
Isiah Wilson
Warren Erickson
Trey Hill
Jamaree Salyer
Owen Condon
Cade Mays


Who's the guy or guys that Pittman recruited that played this year that you're placing the blame on for our offensive struggles?

Apparently you think this isn't a team sport or that in-game coaching doesn't play a role, because you're clearly trying to make the case that Pittman's type of player he recruits/recruited is THE factor that "didn't do any good".

So please, enlighten us as to who we're supposed to be blaming so we can rationalize why Pittman's type of player he targeted was "not good".

The Great Wall of Georgia...what a joke. Run blocking was awful this year. Feet stopping at the point of contact....just leaning on people. That shite ain't going to cut it.

Run blockers that open big holes for RBs to waltz through are terrific, but almost never happen. Run blockers that freeze the rushers and give RBs time and a little space to sneak through are what is needed. Too bad our runners had to run into places the defense plugged because there were more defenders than blockers.
That's a coaching problem.

I agree with this to an extent. It's a lot easier for defenses to stop the run if they know your passing game is not much of a threat. That's true whether the anemic passing is due to coaches or personnel or both.

Really? Apparently you and I didn’t watch the same Georgia offense this season. Maybe you saw one that didn’t shite the bed vs an awful USCe team and score 10 (7 of that in garbage time) vs LSU.

Yeah, Pittman is irreplaceable.

Yep, it was awful this year.

I'm sure obnoxiously telegraphing nearly every run, using the same 4-5 looks/formations, and sending about 80%+ of our run attempts inside the tackles, while having a terrible passing game had nothing to do with it.

It was purely our two OT's who are probably getting drafted in the first round, or one of our handful of 5-star OG's, all of whom were absolutely brilliant and dominating the previous year or even two.

Yeah, Pittman was just so average at recruiting and got us a bunch of oversized fat scrubs.

Let's go back to the Kublanow/Theus/Lee/Houston/Bynum//Cardiello/Beard/DeBell/Ward/Long/Parrish/Tripp type players, right? All those stellar OL recruiting years we had under Richt that put like a whopping 4 guys in the NFL. /s


Are some of you folks seriously shitting on Pittman now? LOLWTF

What a load of crap. Ole Miss is an SEC school and he had several nfl linemen.
they did a better job running the ball against LSU than we did the last 2 years

so there's that...

We won 11 games in the regular season for the 3rd year in a row, beat all of our traditional rivals for the third year in a row. And yes, the offense played a role in that success, more in some years, less in others. But the offense would have been less successful every year without the very good to excellent OL play.

If you're a "championship or bust" person who thinks that any season that doesn't end with a national title means nothing, then you've wasted another year of free time, following an endeavor that you don't control and feeling cheated in the end. Like nearly every other sports fan who feels that way, you should probably ponder this question; "WHAT GOOD DID IT DO"?
