UGA Football Recruiting 285 Comments

Author /

Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    Greg Poole Hobnailboot aka RobG Many bosses are like that.  The best one recognize their loss, but are happy for their former employee, if he is happy.

  2. MMCSDAWG

    BahitsAgain 75tranzam Right, I watched it also.  Kirby knows how to beat UF in Jax and for me personally it’s a successful first season if he can bring our Dawgs down here and beat these jort wearing gaturds into submission!  

    We didn’t have much of a FG kicker back then! lol.

  3. BahitsAgain

    Score Check Greg Poole I bet he never would have thought our incompetent politicians and NASA would basically ground our space program.  I think everyone believed we would have a permanent moon base by now and possibly one on Mars.

    TN camp coach had this to say about Stevens. I’m not saying he’s going to UGA, but there’s a chance he still has UGA in it.
    Quote:Originally Posted by BigorangeBoy Really strange recruiting, he was all UGA and even trying to recruit for them at times. Now Simmons saying UGA is out and it will be a Bama-LSU battle. Does not matter to me since he won’t be wearing orange, but after all the glowing love he showed for Mel Tucker and JC it is really odd that he has eliminated UGA.

    HIS ANSWER: ” Those guys write what they think is true. Jacoby is still enamored with UGA. He did a lot of working out with Mel Tucker at our camp 2 wks ago. So take all the recruiting guys talk as it is talk. ”

    converted 1981 Greg Poole Everyone within 20 feet, including the photographer, were killed.

  8. BahitsAgain

    75tranzam Why worry about it?  The only bashing of an UGA personnel group – current or former- I agree with is

    1). Greg McGarity
    2). Adams
    3). Granthan
    4). Dooley when it comes to why the hell did we not hire Erk Russell?

    oh, and Willie Marinez

    I don’t have time for the Richt bashers or the Kirby Bashers.   Richt has gone and I hope he does great at the U and can do it while keeping them clean.   Kirby is now our HC and I hope he does an amazing job.

    btw, I loved watching the UGA v. Florida game on the SEC channel last evening.  Kirby getting that late interception off a twice tipped pass by barely digging it off the ground was great!  Bobo and Hines at QB.  Edwards….   Young Spurrier biting his lip and pouting on the sideline.

    It was fun seeing those old names and hearing Smarts name several times.  He was a highly motivated little guy then and he is highly motivated now.   I bet he wishes Spurrier was still HC at SCar so he could get a win against him.  lol

  10. converted 1981

    Greg Poole DawgDaddy Yea, I would like to of seen his stats to back up that opinion…

  13. converted 1981

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole Whats the old saying about pleasing all of the people versus some of the people….The Nay Sayers will Neigh!!!!!!  Let them stomp their hoofs and show their proverbial Arses.  They will eventually come around for the Most part.  The others are equivalent to the Opposite side of the fan base (Lunatic Fringe) who do Not care IF UGA Ever played for a Natty because “We are Above That”  and “CMR is a (Excuse me Lord) Righteous Man who will always Do the Right Thing”…  Like throw AJ under the bus and leave him with the ncaa (with directions to answer ALL of their questions and Completely cooperate).  IF these CMR people would just Look at what is being done DIFFERENTLY and the Recruits we are getting that have said they would Not hve considered UGA under the previous coaching staff….. but then again all they want to do is whine and eat cheese….careful it causes Gas!

    As far as the IPF – CMR said he Did NOT Want or NEED one!

    Fully expect CKS to tell the ncaa to go fornicate themselves and IF they want it come and take it.  I do Love CMR for Most of what he did for UGA.  I believe he is a Borderline Great Coach and SHOULD have played for and Won one Natty as well as Could have played for a second.  That however was Not why he was fired.  He was fired for consistently being inconsistent!  Performing Below average on the Biggest Days in the Biggest Games.

    I have a friend who’s a member of the Richt cult who tells me every time we talk about the Dawgs and how they do this year that “they had better not win less than 10 games because that’s what Mark averaged and we fired him for winning 10 games so Kirby better win more or he should be fired!”
    I used to argue that Kirby is a first time coach, has a roster with little depth at key positions, is breaking in a new offensive scheme , etc. Now I just look the other way and change the subjct.
    Mark my words, if Kirby has an average year with say 8 wins this group of fans will gleefully be posting about the gold old days under CMR and how UGA is in trouble.

  20. RobDawg

    I seem to remember this mascot, new school Harry Dawg, and that weird Channel 2 mascot all being on field at same time for brief period or am I imagining that? When did this old school version get retired?

  22. DawgDaddy

    Greg Poole Haha, if Richt had recruited lines on both sides of the ball he may have won a natty or two.  We simply were not tough enough in the trenches.

  23. Greg Poole

    The Richt-got-screwed faction is alive and well. Yesterday, when I [posted this photo of the IPF on Twitter, I got this response:
    “If Richt had one of those he would have won a couple of nattys”
    They will rise up if Kirby loses to UNC.

    These last few days before practice starts are going to be tough for those of us trying to produce content. The only team news that can come would be bad. Maybe, we get some good news on the recruiting front, however.

    Starting Monday around noon there will be plenty to report. Michael Pope (Grady student – BI intern) and I will be covering practice and we have a couple of content surprises coming to go along with Huck’s contributions.

  33. Greg Poole

    Hobnailboot aka RobG  Yeah, he really is. Seems like Pittman was determined to leave – a personal affront.

  44. Greg Poole

    Will coaching non-compete clauses be the wave of the future?
    “I think they will,” Bielema said. “Now whether the coaches will sign it is another whole deal. The reason I didn’t do it my first year as a head coach is I thought a little bit too much about it as an assistant coach… (Arkansas athletic director) Jeff Long proposed it to me. It was something that I didn’t enforce my first year. But then I start losing these coaches to the SEC and I get it.
    “The way we handle the language and verbiage is if I’m a DBs coach, I can still go be a coordinator somewhere. But if you’re a coordinator you can’t go somewhere else to become a coordinator. You can only go to become a head coach. I think it has a lot of validity to it because there is a lot of things that you learn that can be very valuable in the next program over, especially within your league. When Kirby called me, I don’t think he had any idea there was a clause on Dan Enos. I really like the job Dan is doing, too, so to be able to keep him in-house was good.”
