An awful lot of overrated players come out of Georgia. It's not that they end up being complete busts, they're merely good when they were projected to be great. Ray Drew from Thomasville is the best example of this and I think Rochester will be the same way. I have a friend from Atlanta who tried to tell me for years that Drew would be a 1st round pick. He wasn't even drafted at all. UGA has a roster full of Ray Drews.

You do know that Drew is playing for the Packers, right? Did you also know that UGA has just been named as D-line U for having the most defensive linemen in the NFL? Tell me what other UGA players have been busts and let's discuss other SEC busts.

I'm not sure moving Richt along was a bad move for GA, but I can't believe all the rejoicing that's happening over replacing him with a coordinator that happened to play football at the right place. Maybe it works out, but it's one heck of a roll of the dice that a lot of people aren't acknowledging.

What were your feelings when UT hired CBJ? What was his resume as a coordinator? Better than Smart's?

That's a joke. Drew won't play a down for the Packers. He signed with them last month but it's highly unlikely that he makes the roster. He couldn't even keep a spot on the Browns practice squad... and who called Georgia D-Line U? Mark Schlabach or Tony Barnhart or some other UGA homer? :eek:lol:

My feelings were that I was happy Dooley was gone. Jones didn't take the UT job after just being a coordinator. He had been a successful HC at Central Michigan and then at Cincinnati. I think having experience as a HC matters. Smart may do a great job, but it's a risky hire to hire a coordinator to the HC of an SEC team.

Richt was a Coordinator too. He was soft but had a 10-5 record against UT. Move along.

Guess what .... It's not your board so I think I'll post as I see fit regardless of your thoughts on the matter.

I'm sure you'll have some childish retort to this post as that seems to be your intellect level and typical pattern of behavior.

CBSSports.com. They use some crazy stuff called facts and stats:
"No team has done a better job than Georgia of producing NFL defensive linemen over the past decade according to CBSSports.com. As a part of their Position U series, CBS has listed The Bulldogs above LSU, Florida, Texas, and USC as the top program in college football over the past 10 years.
CBS has created a point system that takes into account the number of NFL starts by defensive linemen from a partcular time period along with the number of draft picks, number of first-round draft picks and number of Pro Bowl defenders."

Some players make it in the NFL, some don't. Drew may or may not. Remains to be seen.

Its probably good that they fired Mark Richt then, because if he had all that talent and never made UGA relevant in the National Championship race.

The difference in UGA and LSU, Florida, Texas and USC is that UGA has competed at a high level in the National Championship race over that 10 year period.

I dont even know who you are, but you must have a heck of a time sorting through your wardrobe
on gameday. And I think its hilarious how many people have given up UGA for dead now that Richt is
gone, and all this "risky coordinator" business is even more kooky when that guy just spent 10 years
working for Nick Saban, winning titles, and recruiting at the highest level. Bottom line there is every
reason to believe Smart will be a success, and no reason to believe he will fail.

There was every reason to feel this way about Will Muschamp shortly after he was hired at Florida. This can be said about most career long assistant coaches before they have coached a game as the head man. He doesn't have a track record of decision making to either support or defend at this point so why not be optimistic especially if you're a fan of his team?

However, the similarities between Smart and Muschamp are hard to miss. Both are former UGA players from the 90s, both are career long DC's, both spent time under Saban in college and with the Dolphins and both won NC's as Saban assistants. He could be a Jimbo Fisher...or he could be another Muschamp. We'll see.

To me the biggest difference between muschamp at Texas and Smart at Bama is CWM clearly was apart of a decline. His defenses had begun to take serious steps backwards his last year or 2 at Texas. Smart hasn't been apart of any decline.

The only similarities imo are they both worked for Saban, they were both DCs, and the both have the same wild wreckless Demeanor during games. The similarities stop there

In his last season there was some drop off on defense but in his next to last season in '09, Texas played Alabama for the National Championship and had one of the best defenses in the country. Muschamp was a 'head coach in waiting' at Texas. There are plenty of similarities between the two.

Hop you really are a bit of a narcissist. You should probably get that checked out. It can certainly lead to some negative outcomes in your life. Just as an FYI there have been more busts as coaches from the Saban tree than there have been overwhelming successes. Smart is his own guy and he may well be successful. I don't think anyone is arguing that Richt should have been moved along either. It is certainly a fair point to say that it is more risky to hire a coordinator into a power 5 HC job than it is to hire a candidate with a successful track record in a head coaching role.

There's a huge difference between being a DC under Saban, who for all intents and purposes is the DC himself, and having a massive college program placed directly into your hands--hiring coaches, dealing with boosters, developing a team identity, managing egos and more. Wade Phillips, Randy Shannon and Dick LeBeau are great coordinators who have won titles. Being a head coach is a totally different job, and having zero experience in that job makes you a risk, no matter how "kooky" you think that is.

You're wasting your time trying to explain something to him. But he's always right anyway right?

I think there's a certain amount of "I hope Smart fails" on this board. And I get it. Not many here would admit it, but I think many would be very excited if UT had hired Smart when they hired Jones. Especially given the fact that he shored up a great recruiting class his first year and filled a stadium his first Spring game. There are no guarantees, but I like the enthusiasm that Smart has brought to Athens so far. UGA will always get the athletes. We just need someone who can coach them up rather than put the to sleep. I think we have that guy.

Some of you people are hilarious in your denial. Georgia is the sleeping giant in the east, and Smart
is going to do exactly what they did at Alabama, same program right down to the letter. Sorry, but you
clowns are just being foolish.

I'm sure most here hope Smart fails, but I'm not a homer. If Tennessee hired him, he'd still be a risk, no matter how much hype some in the media have attached to him. I'm not sure which part of his zero head coaching experience has made people so sure he's a great head coach.

What is silly, is your trolling of this board. There are many similarities between Muschamp and Smart. I gave no analysis whatsoever but simply pointed out those similarities with nothing but facts.

And why don't you learn how to type without having to indent and leave such long empty spaces???? Your posts look like crap in addition to being incoherent.
