Shocking..GA Football

I do understand the sentiment, but I mean Tuggle and Easily are suspended indefinitely after this. What else should Kirby do at the moment? Kick them out of school and ruin their future prospects even before litigation?

You ban your team from driving during the season. Lease a few large SUVs, have your interns/low-level staffers chauffer the players between 6:00 a.m. and midnight (longer on weekends). "You have no business being out at 2:30 a.m. on a Tuesday" covers concerns about the gap hours.

For whatever reason, this is a far bigger problem at Georgia than it is at any other program in the country. Regardless of what's causing this, you have a very easy solution that doesn't strike me as much different than coaches banning social media provided you make reasonable alternate transportation accommodations.

Yeah something like that might be the answer, I’m not really sure what steps Kirby has taken to help this bc he always keeps these things so close to the vest and in house as much as he can. I definitely agree with stiffer penalties, and it needs to be something that grabs every players attention.

These latest events, especially with Easily, are unacceptable and can’t be tolerated. I don’t know the answer, but I hope they figure it out. I don’t love the idea of kicking players off the team, but enough is enough. In the end Kirby is responsible for his players and their behavior and what happens to them. I hope he figures it out and takes whatever steps are necessary. It shouldn’t be happening, that’s for sure!

On a lighter note, I’m thinking we should come up with a new slogan for recruits “Come to GA, bc here, it’s either the NFL or Jail!”

All joking aside, it is a serious issue and it needs to be dealt with. I don’t know what should be done, but I can’t imagine that the University or Kirby is taking this lightly. Hopefully some wisdom prevails and things get better.

Brother I would agree that would fix the problem.

Is that really a solution though? To tell grown men you are so irresponsible that you cannot be trusted to drive? Yet responsible enough to represent the school on a weekly basis?

Then what of the kid who drives a 1988 Honda Accord that will not even reach 60 going downhill with a stiff breeze behind it lol?

Something like that would have to be a punishment/deterrent for behavior and not just a blanket policy anyway. Your recruiting would absolutely tank very quickly. Blunt honesty there.

Maybe do that for a week to drive home the point and then make it clear that ANYONE (including coaches, staff, etc) who gets a speeding ticket gets to take the shuttles for 6 months.
