I know he got us 2 NCs but its a different game now. Getting the top class 3 out of 4 years isnt happening anymore with NIL and then all the turn over with the portal transfers.

What you can do is have the best staff possible and we're not even close.

Hard to watch..
every time we turn it on we hope for better results..
but in the end, the quality sucks..
and we are left disappointed

Searels = bushy hair
Bobo = 70s music

but it’s time to move on. The first-half offensive struggles, the number of drops, and the inconsistency of the offensive line all fall under Kirby’s responsibility. He’s not going anywhere, so it’s time for Mike to go. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Searles needs to go as well.
.

Did anybody see the moment when Bell dropped the long pass. He laid there for a sec and Frazier took off sprinting down the field to tell him to get up and shake it off. It was a definite leadership moment and makes me think he will be a leader moving forward. They may not have showed it on TV but I thought it was super obvious in person.

G

could be brutal in portal... my guesses...

three offensive linemen
one running back
two receivers
one tight end

two defensive linemen
two linebackers
two defensive backs

think we take a wide receiver and running back immediately.

Biggest question marks on guys not coming back are...

TID
Cash
ETN
Everette
Young
Miller
Fairchild

Coaches...

Bobo
Searles
Williams
Uzo

just my opinion.

Seems like Sunday.

that we saw around 2019-2020.

I'm definitely not suggesting we don't have some significant issues to address, mind you, but it's pretty uncanny the similarities.

Just letting you guys know that we have to get someone in portal for us to have a shot next year. None of the three are ready.

When we figure out OC, we’ll have a better idea. Feel free to respond with potential transfer options?

No conference champions. By default through the committee's seeding, no teams who got the 1st round bye are in the semi's.

This current model are making CCG's mean less and less. I was on the win the SECCG and get the bye bandwagon from the beginning. And I'm proud of the team for winning, but not sure it helped us. Also, not sure this team was getting past the quarter finals either way.

for the five day portal to close or announce coaching departures immediately.

The sideline penalty was brutal. 20 yard net effect but absolute momentum killer. Even so, Searels and the OL got whipped all night. They were flat footed. They were slow. They were not prepared. That dude was a concern all season. He was a game killer tonight.

Kirby has some tough staff decisions to make. How he handles WR and OL will tell us a lot.

Didn’t ND deploy the same strategy that Ole Miss used, or did the same team that played Ole Miss show up. I thought I was watching a replay, only the team colors had changed.

Lost

If reports are true re: it was rented from Turo as well...maybe related to the New Orleans attack?

Disappointed with the result. It's been an up and down season

He seems savage enough to do it if Kirby doesn’t have the balls to do it himself. Please don’t tell me he’s best friends with Bobo’s kids or something like that.

Feel sorry for my colleagues on press row

But at some point you need to realize who isn’t performing and take steps to improve where needed.

I’m starting to feel like we may need to fill more than just a few holes with the portal. College football has changed, you have the ability to manage a roster more like an NFL team and payroll needs to be allocated appropriately

If someone’s not performing you can address that through the portal, you have the ability to reduce NIL to players who didn’t play to their expectations and reallocate to others. You can encourage guys to stay and improve but at the same time bring in better talent. Some will certainly leave, but that may not be a bad thing if they leave because you’re bringing in better talent.

Going to be some tough decisions, but I believe we might need to focus a bit less on spreading NIL around to a lot of guys who didn’t perform. time to try spending a bit less on retention and more of the budget on acquisitions. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. A #1 WR and LT are absolutely critical to next seasons success. I didn’t see Gunner as the answer at QB, but tough to tell with as little time as he had. This is college football now.

… and, a team I found it really hard to trust with my heart. As principal evidence, I thought UGA could lose to any number of the teams on its schedule; whereas, in years past, I thought it was us and Bama and no one else.

Carson Beck, while an able, serviceable QB in most respects, was never a leader with whom I was comfortable . Maybe it was his demeanor… because I never saw the fire of a Zeier, Stafford, Murray, Fromm, or Stockton over his two seasons of service. When the season began, and he was listed as a Heisman front runner, I really wondered what others saw that I missed. In the end, we’ll never know due to his arm injury whether the NFL saw him as valuable as the media.

The 2024 team, as a whole, was utterly lacking of standout players compared with previous seasons. If you think about 2017, for instance, there was Chubb, Michel, Fromm, Roquan, Hartman, and Woerner that you were absolutely sure could make a play if needed. The defense was a brick wall. Pick any subsequent season until this one and you can say virtually the same thing.

Our lack of stars plays into another of my neuroses. Like many of you, I am nervous about our NIL and portal game. Maybe I shouldn’t be about the former, but the latter concerns me sufficiently to question both. Supposed game changers seem to end up in places they shouldn’t (Nebraska, Colorado, etc.) or places that directly impact UGA (Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas, etc.). I can only wonder if the stars we have come to expect are now playing elsewhere.

In the coming weeks, I hope Kirby addresses a.) talent and b.) coaching. I need hope for 2025… which demonstrates just how spoiled I’ve become considering 2024 will forever be an SEC Championship season.

we make money, spend it.

Is anyone covering the game? Practices?

Since people talked and re-talked about it for weeks, let's bring it up again the morning after the game.

There was a HUGE number of folks on this site that somehow had convinced themselves that the Dawgs were going to play better now that Gunner Stockton was QB because the team liked him more. I said it after the SECC that backup QBs often succeed when they come into the middle of the game and can cause a spark for that game. However, it doesn't generally continue after that because, well, they're the backup for a reason. (and Gunner played pretty well last night)

Other things that stand out to me...

• We had 1 TFL. That's absurd.
• We held Leonard to 90 passing yards.
• We still can't catch the ball.

Finally, Mike Bobo orchestrated an offense that finished 120th in the nation in 1st quarter scoring. In our last 3 games, we averaged 2 points in the 1st quarter. We also finished 99th in the nation in 1st half scoring on the season.

Roquan, Jalen Carter, & Bowers.

James Cook & to lesser extent Ladd also had shots but didn't make the cut. I believe Cook is a pro bowl alternate

Can’t recall the last time I saw a regression that bad. Kid went from being clutch to brick hands. Kid get a girlfriend?
