A well prepared punt return/block team from practice doesn’t need someone on the sideline yelling “watch the fake.” It’s an issue of fundamental football. It should be automatic that 1 or 2 rushers check the punter every time. That’s in the G-Day game or Sugar Bowl. I think we’re overplaying the issue of playcalling. I’ll submit that Bobo is planning and calling much of the offense, albeit through Richt. Since we’re so critical, I don’t think Richt wants to hang Bobo out to dry with the media and fans yet by saying so. I’m concerned about the pattern that developed with the defense. Coming out of the locker room looking totally unprepared to start the game is scary. Florida, Auburn, Tech, and WVU made the defense look silly on first drives. No coach is perfect but Richt is doing a super job. I’m confident that he will address the few issues that we do worry about. He deserves any raise and extension. As much ad money as Sanford Stadium is taking in UGA can afford it. Games are one long advertisement so pay the coach what he’s worth.

Give him what the market calls for. And just get used to his style of coaching. He will stick with Martinez, he will call his own plays and hw won’t have a sideline coach.

I just love what he has done for the program. The bandwagon sure has gotten full since he has been here.

He deserves what the top paid SEC coaches are getting at a minimum (Fulmer/Miles/Cryers). Bill, I like the backloading of the contract and the hefty buyout clause. He has made his loyalty know to UGA as we gave him a great opportunity that has worked out well for both sides. I don’t think leaving would be an issue BUT if it does come up lets make sure we can reload with a top notch coach again. I think Richt has built up the program to a level that that wouldn’t be a problem. Nice guy, excellent job so far. Pay him for it.

Coach Richt definitely deserves more money than Les Miles. I am yet to be impressed by that guy. I think that his lack of coaching ability will come out eventually. He never impressed me at Oklohoma State. What have they done since Barry Sanders left? He stepped into a good situation with a very good football team. I just want to see how he does with his own players. I feel that Coach Richt is here to stay for a long time. Cross your fingers. GO DAWGS!

Let’s see if Richt gets $2.4 million a year, that’s $120,000 per game which equals about $6,000 per bad play call. Keep him as long as possible. No one in the country with the exception of Ron Zook can butcher so many calls with so much talent. $$$$ well spent if you ask this Gator.

Bill, What would it take to get TMoore, or Chip T, or even this gawdawful Ledbetter moron FIRED and have you on staff permanently at the AJC? The HIGH SCHOOL coverage is better than most of the drivel that the staff writers come up with about UGA.
You da man.

I find plenty to beef about with CMR but I’d take him anyday over Urban Cryer, Phat Phil, etc. Every coach blows calls. Every coach loses some “winnable” games. (You shoulda seen the LA media and fans get on Pete Carroll out here after he went for it on 4th down). I’ll take the SEC champs (x2) and a good national reputation. Still doesn’t mean CMR can’t improve. I agree with Bill, we need an OC and let CMR think about the big picture (a good role model for that - bear bryant?)

I agree with you 100% Bill. Richt needs a contract that keeps him in Athens. He is a great coach and has brought the program back to where it should be. I say give him a big enough contract that will allow him to go up to Martinez and shove it down his face. The most pressing issue the Dawgs have is getting a D-coor. that doesn’t choke in the big games. I know he was put in when VanGorder left but this is Athens and you better put up or look for another job…I fear that GSU will put a hurting on UGA due to Martinez looking like a high school coach.

I think alot of us turned into arm-chair D-coor. this past season, but when you can call what the opposition is going to do and Martinez cannot see it coming then by all means get someone else. Coaching doesn’t mean letting your secondary get too full of itself to the point where they are snoozing for the first half of a game. Coaching is being prepared and preparing the team for everything on film.

Lets hope that Richt gets a good contract-his play calling is great most of the time…10 wins AGAIN. If his play calling is a problem I haven’t seen it enough to pass judgment…10 wins. I know its becoming the standard at Georgia, but be happy that it is happening every year…I am.

Main knock I have on WM is the lack of blitz in certain situations. I think we were flat a lot this year coming out but i am blame that more on WM’s more laid back style than VG’s in your face, no excuses style. I too am concerned about the d next year, we lost a lot on the d-line and secondary, based on what I see we could be a good bit smaller up front next year which scares me versus the Auburns of the world. All of that said, I hope people are patient next year with what will be an unproven quarterback, a weakened o-line, and an unproven defense. Going in, I am hopeful for eight wins. The South Carolina game at USC may be the key to the season.

You fans might be interested in a web site I stumbled onto that shows team win-loss records, team win-loss against teams from other conferences, etc. for any range of years. So if you know the years that someone was head coach (for instance), you can see his winning percentage for that term. You can also see which teams have the best winning pct over the last 30 years (or whatever you want). UGA was # 8 in the nation over that span, I think. A great stats database. Anyway, the URL is www.football.stassen.com

So Ga. was one of the best D’s in the country this year on the stat sheets and according to other coaches yet we stunk it up at cordinating good schemes.

By the way, can anyone tell me what the OC at other colleges are paid to do? Last I checked it was to find holes and mismatches on apossing defenses. Thus you find where Martinez adjusted.

If you didn’t know it yet, Al Borges and Rich Rod. at WV are some of the best in the Buisness. They exploited Tra Battle and it paid off. They are also the only teams to score more then 20 on us that I can remember. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong.

CRS, we had Odel, Pollack, and Davis then. You would be a horrible coach to not play in your face style. By the way, how many turnovers did that get the dawgs?

One moment we say we didn’t miss the big three on defense and the next we are complaining about Martinez. Let’s face it, WM did a great job with what he had. T. Davis to Tra Battle was a huge drop off. We never had consistent line backer play like we did with Odel and the Senior Arnold that played next to him.

Bill, I understand the argument for an OC, I really do. But he HAS learned from his mistakes. I’m willing to put up with the ‘learning curve’ that has produced a 52-12 record thus far, and I think he’s only going to get better. I do think he’s earned the right to make that decision. My big concern would be that any new OC he brought in would have growing pains and suddenly we go back to 6-5. Besides, don’t you think that Bobo is just being groomed for OC job and not thrown into it? As far as Richt’s mistakes: When was the last time clock management TRULY lost the game? And don’t say Auburn ‘05 (botched 2 pt convers.)because didn’t they play for another full half? Auburn was peaking that week. And play-calling is so arbitrary. When it works, you’re a genius. When it doesn’t, “HE NEEDS TO HIRE AN OC!!” Players have to execute, too.

Of course in 30 minutes, I’ll have switched my opinion back to bringing in an OC.

Ryan, you are correct about UGA needing a DC. Martinez did not get the job done. In the big games against Fla. Auburn and WVU our defense was not prepared. When you offense scores 30 points (Auburn) and 35 points (WVU) and you still loose you have a big coaching problem. We do not get after people on defense like UGA teams have in the past. It is a matter of the schemes you are playing. I’ll never forgive Martinez for that play against Auburn on 4th and 13 and we gave up the big play. We should have blitzed on that down and never given the QB the time to make that throw. Martinez must go for the good of the program.

If I had to pick one major concern for the Dogs, it would be the OL and not defense.

Along with giving the new raise, we also need to put to rest the the OC question. I’m not arguing the point one way or the other here. I’m only arguing that it is a moot point.

Mark Richt, as well as all other successful people, is not in this for the money. He loves what he does. He loves NCAA football and he loves to design plays and have the game in his hands when our offense is on the field.

If we want to keep this guy, why would we try and take away the one part of his job he truly loves? Besides, the decision is his alone. It is his team and he will decide when the time is right. I know this argument will go on for years but it serves no positive purpose.

Bill,

I totally agree with your thoughts on bringing in an OC to call the plays in response to Richt’s apparent “brain locks.” I wanted to add in a few other dissapointing calls from the season that resulted in near heart attacks from me. The 3rd and 10 QB sneak in Jacksonville late in the fourth quarter and the HB draw on 3rd and 9 against Auburn when it was obvious a field goal was not going to win the game.

With that said, I don’t think there is another coach in America that I would want to represent my university.

By geechee

January 25, 2006 07:43 PM | Link to this

The problem with the NCAA is that it is not specialized enough. We need more than just one coach and one assistant for every single postion on the team. We need to have a coach for every single player on the team. That would be much more efficient. That way if a player has a bad game or made a bonehead play or got caught smoking a bowl, you could simply fire his coach and all would be well.

As good a head coach Richt is he still is only half the equation. The defense is on the field when the offense isn’t. And the NFL playoffs have shown that the winning teams BLITZ often, and with a Def. Cord, that has a secondary coaching background I think Ga is in trouble unless Richt interveens.

Hope Bill King sees this. Out where the “Seahawks” ARE #1, our coach, Mike Holmgram didn’t become a big time winner untill this year. Why? It’s generally agreed he had to much of a load. To many duties and couldn’t concentrate on just coaching. Some changes were made and BAM!! we’re in the Super Bowl. Back to college FB. AU. Their fans were trying to run Tuberville out of town because he wasn’t winning.(reason for the secret trip to Louieville).He kept his job but then what did he do? He went OUTSIDE OF THE SEC and picked the best OC he could find and turned right around and did the same thing on D. What’s their record over the last 2 yrs. against all comers? Their record against the DAWGS? I’m glad he got a raise and extension. He’s got 9 lives like a cat and the luck to go with it. He prepares well and and teaches the requried skills; however, we’ve lost big games because of game day coaching. I’ll take the 2 titles and winning % and say GO COACH! But unless some real changes are made, with the changes that have occured in the SEC East,we won’t be backto the title game with in the next few years. We have to face facts. 5YRS.

CRS “Let the Pittsburgh Steelers be our example, stick with your coach thru the good and bad and more often than not you will be rewarded. Next year I suspect will be the most trying of Richts tenure at UGA.”

Couldn’t agree more… excellent analogy. Personally, I think CMR will be the type of coach UGA keeps until CMR decides to retire. He has rebuilt our program and increased our fan base through winning. I like many others would like to see Coach Richt hire a creative offensive coordinator and I think he will - eventually.

As has been pointed out - 2006 will be the true measure of CMR’s coaching abilities.

I’ve said it b4 and I’m saying it again (kinda like GW did leading this blog off) CMR is and has been grooming Mike Bobo for the OC job but it will be gradual. It would be impossible to just bring someone in with the same coaching philosophy to do the job MR wants done. With Bobo, he’s got (in addition to many attributes) a loyal Dawg who is young enough to learn, and has a unique perspective to learn it thru, being a past QB. If he did bring in someone new, that could run the offense exactly the way MR sees it, after 1 or 2 good years he would be lured away by some other school. I see Bobo as being a possible replacement for Richt, many years down the road. This year and next, I predict you will really be able to see this change or graduation of Bobo to the OC job more plainly.

The NFL playoffs have nothing what so ever to do with the NCAA.

Please understand, that you can’t just call a blitz and it happens. Blitzing puts much more pressure on the secondary. If your secondary is not up to handling that pressure, ours wasn’t last season, you are dead in the water.

This season we will have one of the top five LB units in the country and a much faster secondary.

conyersdawg and war eagle, you 2 have some really good observations that you make. I agree with what you both said and what bill king said. someone mentioned good coaches and “elite’ coaches. perfect observation. MR is an outstanding coach but he’s not a member of that “elite” group. He’s got to 1st hire the appropriate people then delegate responsibilty. I’ve accepted the fact that MR won’t hire a OC anytime soon. One of the players was quoted as saying the MR was having fun like he did in college calling plays. About hiring from the outside, Van Gorder didn’t stay very long but Borges hasn’t left AU. If a litmus test is will they stay at Ga. as long as MR stayed at FSU, he’ll be passing up a lot of great coaching talent and the same thing applies about hiring coaches that played at Ga.

I will be one of the first to criticize bad offensive playcalling, but Richt has done a hell of a job at Georgia. I know Dooley won a national title and six SEC titles, but he did that in 25 years. Richt has put the Dawgs squarely in the nation’s elite programs, which, by the way, is where all of the Dawg fans want the team to be. He’s managed to get two SEC titles in five years as coach and has put the program into “reload, not rebuild” status. I’m glad he got a raise and I hope he continues to have the great success he’s had so far in Athens.

The University of Georgia is a class program, and MR is a class coach. He may not win every game, especially against the Gators, but 80%+ is pretty impressive. Can you imagine an idiot like Spurrier at UGA? Talk about winning at all costs. We suffered through the Goff years (great Georgia Man, bad Head Coach) and the Donnan years (nice guy, no personality, little discipline). What a relief it is to have a man like Richt in our program. He’ll only continue to improve. Who wants a CEO coach like Bear, Bobby, Joe Pa, etc. These guys are icons that have lost touch with the game. Remember, any of us can roam the sidelines and hire highly paid assistants to run the team. Go Dawgs and congrats MR! (Also, I keep hearing about the close games that GA lost with poor calls. What about the close games they won when they probably should have lost?)

T’Ville DAWG, I don’t mind AT ALL if my predicitions are wrong. Makes me wrong in a positive way so I hope your right. It’s a mistake to call the spread option offense a gimmick. Any offense can be beaten but I promise you it reminds me of when the wishbone came into vouge. It took several years before people begin to understand how to stop it. Coaches who use it recruited players that fit to the offense. That’s what the “Blight” in Reptile land has done. Before the Sugar Bowl I warned my friends in the DAWG nation to look out. Living way out here I had the chance to watch it at work and see the offense blow people around. To many people in the SEC think it’s a passing attack with not much running of the ball. There’re wrong. The “lay the wood to you” run is the key. Passing is about one third of the offense. Receivers must be blockers just like what MR demands. So, I hope I’m wrong and I’ll take the ribbing that goes with it if I am, but nothing has happened so far to change my mind.
