Quote Of The Day

“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

Seems like the Atlanta media is protecting their access.

I think Bradley, Schultz, & 680 the Fan are all willing accomplices to the cabal that fired Richt. They way they let themselves get used in the name of access, even if they think it’s the right move, reflects an embarrassing credulousness on their part.

Second best? Unless we can call handing the ball to Herschel Walker a great coaching job, how does CMR end up second? I’d say CMR is first by a nose and he’s certainly no worse than in a tie with Vince by any measure.

Notsonormal Mike, facts are Mark Richt has a better winning percentage than Dooley at Georgia. Took Dooley 18 years and the best college football running back in history, and a miracle in Florida to win a NC.

I am on record in my belief that Richt is the best HC in the Dawg’s history.
I also believe that if Richt takes another HC job, then that school will have
a better HC than the Dawgs will have. I am confident in my beliefs and
really do not care if others disagree with me. Just proves they are wrong.
LikeLike
I am one who was “sorta” in favor of CMR moving on although I don’t like the way it was done. I thought the object was to get an “upgrade” at HC. Kirby Smart is not an upgrade. This is playing out even worse than my worst fears about the cheapness and incompetence of B-M and McGarity in particular. Before the firing even occurred the Senator warned us that he had no confidence in B-M hiring a new HC. That observation has proven to be right on the money.

No idea what happened to Moore. He was awful–like a race baiting Mark Bradley (shudder). I often wondered how that man managed to type his articles with that 4 ton chip on his shoulder. With that ax to grind, I can only imagine he has a job somewhere in the Dept. of Justice.

ADs are people that hang around college programs and keep getting promoted simply for being there until the Peter Principle catches up with them. Most of them are unqualified to lead complex organizations. Foley is basically the glaring exception.
I think there is a lot of truth to what Bradley is saying in that there was no way for McG to look good. Richt has been a polarizing figure for 5 years and had a cult following among a significant portion of the fanbase–it was going to be messy.
The press conference was bad, but again, what was he going to do? Read the list of Richt’s failures while the sympathetic fired man is quoting scripture next to him? How would that have looked?
Look, I don’t care about McG one way or the other, but I do know that people citing The Georgia Way as Richt’s undoing aren’t being honest with themselves. The Georgia Way don’t trot out Faton, or squib kick, or mismanage the roster so bad that we played 2012 Alabama with 67 scholarship players.
McG has staked his career on Kirby. If it works, he’s proven to be right, if it doesn’t then he’s out of a job. Let’s just let it play out, no?
LikeLike
Really, if it works, he’s proven to be right?
If you win a scratch off lottery ticket, it doesn’t prove that you were right about picking scratch off lottery tickets.
McGarity has proven that regardless of how Smart performs, he is one of the most incompetent ADs in the nation. He should be fired at the earliest opportunity.

What The J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics did in regard to the press conference was allow folks all over the digital world to compare the guy he fired to him. Whether the firing was the correct decision or the incorrect decision is irrelevant. How many folks commented, after watching the presser, said, “Oh, yeah, having watched this McGarity was right! He should have fired him!” Contrast with the number who said, “Gosh, the fired guy comes across with more class and dignity!” McGarity allowed the presser to become a side by side public comparison between himself and a sympathetic figure he jut fired, and it is McGarity’s error in doing so. McGarity should have introduced Richt, said that it was Richt’s event and he wold answer questions later, and left.
Whether you like Richt or not, it was a poor PR job by McGarrity. Never let the guy who others view sympathetically be evaluated next to you. Instead, schedule your moment in the public eye when you can shine alone.

Mark Bradley wants that interview with McGarity to spread all of the dirty details involved in Richt’s firing under unnamed sources, of course.
I’ll admit I had high hopes for our AD when Mama called, but he hasn’t done a damn thing positive since he got here until Jeremy Pruitt got under his skin. His high profile PR blunders have probably tarnished his legacy regardless of what happens with our football program. When he completely botched the PR around Gurley-gate, I was done with him.

This really is ironic. Two teams play a game of football which is the final one for the season for both teams. The HC of one is 3-8 going into the game. The coach of the other is 8-3 going into the game. The coach with the winning record wins the game–and HE gets fired.

Yes, Mark. Firing Greg McGarity is EXACTLY what we want. I assume Kirby Smart will go undefeated next year, or lose one game at the most (but not to Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Tech, South Carolina or Missouri, or whoever else we play out of the west), because Greg McGarity is a demander of excellence who has cleverly identified the Man Who WIll Move Us Ahead.
If he believes McGarity “reluctantly” came to the decision to fire Richt,, I have some beachfront property in Macon I’d like to sell him. If he believes McGarity “reluctantly” came to that decision on the way home from this year’s Tech game, I’d like to sell him Stone Mountain, too.
Greg McGarity is a bean counting weasel with nary a speck of class. If he doesn’t give Kirby Smart everything he wants, and puts him under the same restrictions as Coach Richt, don’t expect magically better results. If he gave Richt the same resources he’s probably going to have to give Kirby, Richt could have gotten even better results, too.
Nothing like shaping the narrative to protect a valued source of propaganda and insider info, though. McGarity is a disgrace.
