UGA Buyers Remorse?

Agree.

If you're gonna fire Richt, you need to go out and hire a sure fire proven successful head coach (which Georgia could have done).

You don't fire Richt and hand the keys to a defensive coordinator (Saban's DC no less) with zero head coach experience.

The fact that Smart was a Georgia alumni held precedence over every other actual coaching quality they should have been seeking.

Yep, this is what happens to excellent programs when alumni & fans are spoiled, get greedy, they want MORE. Richt was a quality all around successful coach.

Funny thing ... I think Alabama's defense got better with him leaving... the guy was not great as a DC and to think he could take his first HC job at a major school and succeed is mind boggling. UGA fans will come to miss those 10-3 seasons..

Lol.....the cupboard was very thin when he got there. Starting a true freshman qb with no older receivers. I do think Chaney is on thin ice.

If Kirby isnt winning in 3 years we may revisit this.

Btw.....CMR that UNC team is a tough one.

Too early for judgement. Coaches need time to win the locker room. Year two is what the new HC looks forward too, year one is for taking lumps.

I need to see what Saban did his first year at Bama

I believe Saban went 6-6 including a 4 game losing streak and a loss to Auburn. They also lost at home to UL Monroe. The won their bowl game. It's a long season, there will be ups and downs. The key is watching the players and look for progress. I would get concerned when you dont see progress taking place.

I don't get the cupboard being thin. Coming off back to back 10 win seasons and now this. Even if you say talent down Vandy is a loss on coaching not the players. That is not a game you should ever lose.

Your right. Looking at the stats and yardage it should have been a blowout.

The talent is thin and shallow right now. CMR 2013 class was probably the worst in UGA history. Kirby has the recruiting on track but damn this offense is lethargic. Arky fans warned us about Chaney, but i am pretty sure that move was made to get Pittman.....in which he looks overrated at this point. The risk UGA made was hiring a 1st year coach at a premier job in the country. I will give Kirby some mistakes for being green, but he needs to get it out of his system this year.

you are correct about Pittman. If you don't know it, it's out there that smart called Bielema to ask permission to talk to Dan Enos. Enos and every other coach except Pittman have sec non competes. Well smart wanted Pittman only because Saban came after him real hard a couple years prior.

Chaney is awful! Pittman has a love to work with Chaney that I'll never understand. We always wondered why we couldn't get 1-3 yards when we absolutely needed it and now you are seeing it at UGA.
