Good & bad coaching shows up in big games. Coaches are teachers. Think about whether the techniques the players are using is good or bad.

It's ok if you don't know the proper techniques, but you have to be willing to learn from other, better coaches.

A good coach adapts his philopsophy to best fit the players he has....a poor coach tries to fix his players to adapt to his philosophy.

Why change the culture of a program that's been winning with it since 1983? We don't need an overdose of "discipline" in an orange tie,

Phillip Buchanon ‏@PhillipBuchanon 11h
we need wins. We need our 30 for 30 identity back or our early 2000's style.

To the Academic department, thanks for not accepting JC players like we did from 1983 through 2004.

Phillip Buchanon ‏@PhillipBuchanon 11h
We need JC lineman that are able to step on the field and play immediately, not a year from when you sign them.


The reality is starting to set in fellas. Oh boy.

Not off the Golden train yet, but cot dammit he may not be ruthless enough for a job like this.

Wish we had the talent of that era.

 

[AUcane]

Not really - just a lot of message board type soundbites. "Bring back the 80s attitude!" Smh

Also, he's wrong about the JC stuff - we never were a big JC team and I'd wager the JC
Kids we've brought in the past 10 years is consistent with the amount of JC kids we brought in the 10-15 years before that.

 

[nycane]

golden said in past he wanted jc but how can he tell a jc player to spend two years at a rebuilding program with an NCAA cloud???

 

[jandman514]

Do you still Believe in The Don or whatever you call him? Or is he Mark Richt 9-3, occasional 10-2 with a soft schedule. You use to kill everyone here and call them corny nicknames because we didn't all buy in to Golden or whatever.. He's a top 5 recruiter in my book but he's an average/below average gameday coach.. He will make us UGA South 9-3, 10-2 with a soft schedule top 15-18 just good enough to keep his job. He will always recruit well **** he did at Temple and had the most talent in the MAC by year 3 and 4 there. If he losses to Duke next week it might get ugly around Coral Gables.

 

[nycane]

he never had the most talent in the mac. he was recruiting fcs talent and basketball players. kids that had no options. i know of a family friend who played at temple. he took anyone.

No kids don't like attacking the ball, they like waiting back 10 yards for RBs, WRs and TEs to come running at them with a full head of steam.

 

[jandman514]

I guess all the recruiting sites, Lemming, Phil Steele used to Rave about how he was getting solid talent for a Mac program and rated his classes the best his last 2 years in the conference..

 

[nycane]

he developed players. he focused on development. that's why muhammad wilkerson is playing like a pro bowler and jaquan jarrett plays alot for the jets too. look at
how he has developed duke, jenkins, gunter, howard, etc. We havent had dl commit, but this year will change that.

Coach D'onofrio in a nut shell.... he's terrible constantly blaming everything on his players instead of his stupid scheme.

He didn't develop Duke and Howard lol Those kids were 5 star studs and were born to be ballers and NFL kids from birth.. Howard had to adjust to the defensive scheme and Duke tore it up his first game here.. Jenkins and Gunter i'll give most of that to Paul Williams he is doing a great job with the secondary.. Every one even Kacy Rodgers got better..

This became some giant myth. He recruited MAC type talent every year. Just go look at Rivals. His recruiting was right on par with the rest of the conference.

Great message board/internet sound bite but largely counterproductive at best.


The scheme may have a lot to do with it. Specifically if you are putting talented players next to jags or terrible players. It is probably hard for young developing players to learn from: Morris, Henderson, Green, Highsmith and Rodgers type players. Or grow at their position and focus when the player next to them is inept.


Unfortunatley many of our seniors are not that good, make poor decisions, are inconsistent or a combination thereof. Many of our juniors were forced to play a year earlier than they should have been, and some of the good players have been injured (Bush, Scott, Lewis) and are not where they could be.


Sadly there is a lot of work to do here and the NCAA cloud did not help. Everyone is ****ed, embarrassed and disappointed, but the coaches, players and schemes were the same as they were three weeks ago when we were flying a banner over the stadium.


If told that the team would commit essentially 3 special teams turnovers in the first half against VT, I doubt anyone would have expected a win given the loss of Duke and the discussions around the VT Defense.


The solution to our problems is recruits and/or time. Firing the coaching staff or publicly turning on Al Golden is not going to help produce either. We want turmoil in Gainesville so recruits will flip to us, but then we want to create our own turmoil so they flip to FSU/Alabama/LSU??

I'm not saying there is not validity in what he says, simply that saying it is not very productive.


Before you go there with the typical bull**** - I am as ****ed off and embarrassed as anyone and still soaked from last night's game after making the trip solo to watch a disaster. But I am realistic in that this team is not where it needs to be until we get the recruits and depth. Imploding on the team and coach won't get us there. **** this sucks!
