Coach Richt, we have a problem

Let me start off by saying that I do not believe CMR should be fired.

What I do believe is that there needs to be some changes. Big changes, small changes, something has to change!

The defense was clueless, we can't tackle, CWM NEVER made an adjustment to the boot leg/roll out. We made Crompton look like a superstar, while every other team has made him look like a bench warmer.

The offense, if you can call it that. They huddled up and produced 3 points with 250 total yards.

This loss hurt a lot, we looked terrible. It's one thing to go out and play a good game and get beat by a better team that day. This was not the case. Georgia looked terrible, unprepared, and after the tenth roll out by Crompton I think they knew they were beat.

It hurts to watch B Evans on the field, he is so far from making plays. He isn't even close to where he needs to be, I hate to pick on the guy week after week but it's embarrassing to watch him out there. He just isn't the player we need back at safety, it's time he sits.

As far as calling out the offensive problems? Every single player on the offensive side of the ball needs to step up. Some of this could stem from Bobo's calls but it has to come back to the players as well. Like Kiffin said before the game. "Georgia's offense is the exact same offense that Richt ran at FSU in the early 90's".

Also coming out of the mouth of Kiffin was this after the game, "Georgia would not beat Tennessee again while he was at the helm".

Like I said earlier, I do not think that CMR should be fired. I do have a problem with him right now though. After the game on Saturday in his presser, he said he didn't have a problem with Bobo's play calling. Now that is a stupid response! We all know he COULDN'T be happy with it?? It's just Richt being faithful to his assistant and not telling the truth, not saying what should be said. That is an issue to me, you just played a TERRIBLE game, you embarrassed your fans and then you start dodging questions?? These are questions that the fans need answers to. CMR it is also your job to answer these questions truthfully and let all of the fans know what is going on with a program that every writer in the country is claiming to be in a downward spiral.

Something must change CMR - The way you answered the questions leaves us all in the dark. You did nothing after the game to ensure you would get things turned around. Are you at least going to try? All you said was that, "we need to be better on offense, better on defense and we need to coach better". Well, holy shit! You're a genius!
Thanks for telling us something we didn't know.

Now let me ask you. How many times are you going to say we need to get better? And how many times is it not going to translate to the field? Like I've said before, you say these things, but nothing ever happens. No one on this team is held accountable for anything. When you don't hold your players and coaches accountable, why would they change. EX. B EVANS can start each game after missing tackles, blowing coverages, not protecting over the top, not cutting his hair, basically doing nothing. So why would he change his work ethic and effort? You are going to start him anyway.

I'm ready for Richt to make some changes. Other players need to see the field, maybe move some coaches around, see who can bring something to the table.

Ok, so I have gotten some emails in and I will address them now.

1. NO. Tommy Tubberville will not get a call from Georgia. He will not be a d-coordinator for the dogs. If anything he will be a head coach next year. Plus Georgia would not dream of paying him what he would probably want.

2. YES. I would love for Kirby Smart to come to Athens and be the defensive coach. Will it happen, I doubt it. For one, he is coaching under one of the best defensive minds (Nick Saban) in all of college football. Two, Alabama would probaby pay him more to stay and Georgia just doesn't pay well. Three, Alabama is a much better team than Georgia, so why leave?


3. NO. Aaron Murray should not play this year. He needs to redshirt, he has had a tricep issue and there is just no point. After the loss to Tennesse, the season is pretty much over as far as controlling our own destiny. Let's just hope we can make a bowl game.

Richt: No big changes yet

This goes back to me talking about, "telling the truth". After the LSU loss, Richt came out and said that the poor special team play was because of all of the youth. Read this post by David Hale. This follows up the garbage that CMR seems to think he can feed his fans. Tell us what is really going on out there not something that will get you out of the conversation.

The defense has been bad all year. It has been a testimony to having top 5 recruiting classes and the individual athletes abilities to make a play that has made them have moments of brillance. However, poor coaching is evident. I've seen it up close and personal at the games -- no one can tackle, blow assignments, no one lining up on receivers leaving them open, no bump off the line to slow down the dink and dunk, no swim or spin moves by the lineman. Offense about the same - no blocking especially on the run -- Hershel couldn't run behind that line. But yes there are some mistakes by the players but I can tell you it's 98% coaching. Hell we don't even know which arm to carry the ball in. I think CMR is in deep trouble. Dumping Martinez and his staff is the first order of business. Next, dump the offensive line and offensive backs coaches. They suck beyond comprehension. We've had so many blue chip lineman on both sides of the ball and nothing and I mean nothing has been done with them. It's a recurring theme every year. Again, it's poor coaching - I don't think that many linemen suddenly turned into chump change.

Finally fire the special teams coach. The only time we back a team up to the 20 is when we kick it out the end of the end zone. In all this you don't know what you'll get in returm but I gotta believe it's better than what we got. Heck even if one phase of anything gets better, it's still better. CMR has no choice. Maybe he and Bobby worked out a I'll get fired from Jawja and come to Tallafrassee and coach the inept Suckinoles.
