I didn't say anyone should put Danny Ware in the top 10. I was pointing out that he was actually the best back on the team before Knowshon arrived. It was intended to point out that Thomas Brown wasn't a top 10 or top 2 or 3 tier back in UGA history. I didn't intend to imply that I was propping D. Ware up for top 10.
Sometimes I wonder if people read what is said and try to understand what is actually being pointed out or if they just read the words and make them mean whatever allows for a Gotcha! moment in their own minds.

But he wasn't.
Thomas Brown was better in all measurables.

Ware is one of the most underachieving players to ever wear a UGA jersey.
Huh? It’s not like he was a consensus 5* recruit who went on to do nothing at the next level. Ware played in the league for several years and helped win a Super Bowl with the Giants. He didn’t run for 1,000 yards in college. Neither did Brown or Lumpkin - the two other guys he split carries with.
How did you reach this conclusion that he’s one of the most underachieving players of all-time?

Lumpkin is a huge what if of the Richt era. I thought he was on his way to being the big, bruising power back that we were missing after Musa Smith left.
As for Ware, he had a very promising freshman season but never really seemed to build off of it.
I also realized that I was thinking of Michael Cooper as being disappointing.

Cooper more than anyone else, got in Richts doghouse and he would not let him out.
Same as Terrell Davis got in goffs doghouse, another clear showcase of goffs incredible incompetence.
The goff hire, more than anything, is why we still hear 1980 to this day. Spurrier wanted the job but old Vince did not think he would fit.

Never heard this angle before.Im not sure if I believe it.
I knew about the screw ups with
Dick Sheridan and Erk and all the idiots on search committee.

Spurrier was at Duke at the time, imagine how different things would have been. Had interest, hated Vince.
He even called Richt and told him not to take the UGA job because the AD needles too much.

Sure but I never heard he wanted to leave for Georgia.

He pretty much hates everything red and black not just Vince.Thats why I find it a little hard to believe he had interest.
I know Spurrier wanted the GT job that went to Bill Curry.Glad it didn't happen.

He is definitely 1st tier. There is no Chubb without Michel and vice versa

Cool link, but I wouldn't rank Terrell Davis that high. Ray Goff hated him and didn't let him play enough.

In perspective, he was at Duke and unheard of at the time. UGA in 1987 was a way better job than UF, ironically spurrier changed all that.
I honestly blame Dooley being hired as AD for the mediocrity that became uga football for decades.

Terrell's brilliance as a runner was put on display at the Plains of Auburn when we played them to a tie and ended their long winning streak.
My roommate at UGA and I went to that game and had to duck out of JH quick when it was over.

I agree with what you said about Lumpkin. Could’ve been a good back but he was just always hurt. He also played a few seasons in the league as an UDFA.

We all get that and he wasn't "unheard of"
He put together some high scoring offenses
when he was the HC at Tampa in the USFL...he also earned COY and a ACC championship at Duke.
I still haven't heard anything about him having interest in UGA back then and I followed the whole thing pretty closely.

Damn right he was. Worley had the size, speed, and tools to be HW 2.0 if he could have stayed healthy and stayed off drugs.

So did Erk Russell. Still don't know why he didn't get it, except for maybe his age at the time, or maybe the powers that be didn't want to run the option.

I've never once heard had interest in the job or reached out about the position... didn't happen.

Dooley didn't hire Goff. President Knapp and the idiots on the search committee did . Dooley was on leave exploring a run for governer. LINK
If you wanna blame em for not firing Goff earlier and hiring Donnan that's fine.
He also hired Richt...while not Saban or Spurrier he certainly wasn't "mediocre" especially the 1st half of his career.
