Hey, you need to start a thread and then pad it with sense of outrage like I have done. I do have serious question though. I heard yesterday that Mike Bobo was being interviewed. Is there any truth to that rumor?

There are rumors that our AD flew out to Denver to meet with him but nobody could officially confirm that. They say that we will have a coach by Sunday. Mizzou fans are still holding out for Herman or another big name but I think they will take the safe route and hire Barry Odom

I think the fundamental play of the team on each side of the ball should show improvement and the record would be a secondary IMO. I know that a rookie coach is going to make mistakes with time outs, special team blunders and game management as he goes. The difference to me is CKS is a rookie coach, not CMR who stubbornly refused to care/change his behavior about special team blunders, wasting timeouts and inability to change his core coaching techniques. I have a question for Dawg fans (this is not directed at you BD) who have actively talked about reminding other Dawg fans about letting CMR go if CKS struggles next year. On one Dawg podcast a Dawg fan promised to "rub salt in an open wound and remind everybody about CMR" if the Dawgs struggle next year. So do these same Dawg fans plan to cheer for the Dawgs if they win the East next year and go to Atlanta for the SECCG? You really can't be a Dawg fan and have it both ways. You can't cheer for the team in victory but secretly hope they fail because you loved CMR. I loved CMR but now he's gone, gone because of his own shortcomings as a HC. I wish him well in Miami and hope he has 15 years of success there but I don't hope he fails to prove UGA was correct in firing him. I'm excited to see what staff Kirby Smart brings to Athens, who UGA plays in its bowl game and how we do and how recruiting plays out. So, if we play well and go 6-6 you will be happy that we have our fundamentals down? All I am asking is what the expectations are? Right now all I see from the people who a week ago were screaming about underachieving is that we now suddenly have to have patience. I concur that a new coach is going to make new coach mistakes...oh, did McGarity think about that when he opted to lie and not look at another soul? Can I blame asshole when Kirby makes a very understandable coaching mistake? Or can I be like some other people in this day and age and blame his predecessor? It is way more fun to blame Bobo and Richt. I guess I'm going into the change with a clean slate. Richt's mistakes the last 7 years cost him his job and this is where we are at as a program. No matter how well prepared Kirby is to be a HC he'll have to learn from his mistakes just like all the great and not so great coaches have had to learn as they matured as coaches. Bottom line is we knew that UGA's Administration was giving Richt everything he wanted last season with raises for staff and recruiting staff brought in and even the IPF approval. I remember you, me and other Dawg fans saying that this granting of wishes for CMR came at a price and that price was the removal of performance crutches that Dawg fans and coaches had bitched about for year after year. I even remember the selection of Shotty as OC being a concern because he was on such a short leash due to underperforming the last couple of years. I really don't care what Miami's record is next year and I wish CMR the best. If I was guessing I'd say a 7-5 or 8-4 record should be expected next year but that's without knowing a single thing about Kirby's new staff, recruits signed or knowing what offensive scheme we run next year.

If Georgia goes 7-5 next year, there is going to be an outrage unmatched in recent years. And we will have a split in the Dawgnation like never seen before. A record like that, with the returning talent and a top 10 recruiting class and the schedule we are playing is more than unacceptable. And if that is acceptable, I wonder what standards all the people who have complained about Richt's standards are accepting. Seven wins would be less than any of Richts seasons save 2009. I hope you are joking.

If I had to guess right now, I would say 9-3.
Losses to UNC, at Ole Miss, and Florida.

Better not lose to Florida. I thought you wanted him to live up to CMR's standards. CMR has lost the last two in a row.

The changes were made just this off season. How fast did you think they would have an impact? Changes like that are long term impacts not something that happens over night. I do agree about the Schotty hire being a big mistake. Who knows what he would have done next year with a real QB but considering Richt is out now it can be considered a very horrible decision.

Nick Saban isn't just rolling over and letting his strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran go to Georgia to eventually join Kirby Smart's staff. He's fighting to keep him. Saban is attempting to convince Cochran to stay with the promise of a significant raise, The Tuscaloosa News has learned. Cochran received a $25,000 raise in June to bring his total salary to $420,000. Once Smart is officially announced as the new Georgia head coach, which is expected to come as soon as Sunday, he is expected to target Cochran to be his strength coach. The Smarts and Cochrans have become close family friends during their time in Tuscaloosa. Something else to consider is that Georgia's current strength and conditioning coach Mark Hocke worked close with Cochran at Alabama for six years. - See more at: alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1833075#sthash.hXCpHz02.dpuf%20

Georgia is trying to see if they can have a new S&C coach every year. UGA had an issue about 4 years ago. I don't think strength and conditioning has been an issue since. If Saban wants to keep him he will.
But this points out the very difference in Athens and Tuscaloosa. Can anyone fathom Richt telling a coach that he is going to entice them to stay by raising their pay? That would be laughable here...the UGA head coach doesn't make pay decisions. It will be fascinating to see if Kirby gets that power from McWeasel.

If Saban wants to keep him he will. I'd be more upset about losing FOUR FANGERS than I am about Kirby. We all knew Kirby would eventually leave. Cochran is an incredibly important part of this program.

Some interesting takes and pontifications in this thread! Did I say anything dumb? I think everyone in here said something dumb at some point in time. This thread was mainly about some pissed off Georgia fans..ahem...who respected Coach Richt, and how the University treated him in this situation, and the pondering of who, what, where and when of the fall out. I went back and looked to see what some of us had to say when all this started which eventually led to where Georgia is today. Fun times fo' sho!! I just wish many of the posters were still here which commented on this thread. Cheers to them all!!

While possible, not likely. I'm sure they are both more worried about the NFL possibilities than that. I could see Eason decommiting though. It is probably too soon, but I am willing to make another post bet that Hurd will be taken in the NFL draft higher than Michel. Nope

FWIW, Wes Rucker said that he did not think that this was a good thing for UT. He thought that Kirby or Mullen were a worse case scenario for this hire and that they will have their pick of a lot of GREAT coaches. Wonder if Chip Kelly is in play here? I would be pumped for Chip Kelly. Glad that didn't work out
