Q&A

Political science with a business management minor. I originally was planning on law school and to either be a lawyer or do something in politics but recently decided I want to try being a sports agent

both drew and his brother are lawyers. in fact, many sports agents are lawyers. it is one of the best ways to gain competency and a foundation for the profession.

i strongly suggest it.

I've gone back and forth on it and realize the benefits of it. My thought process has been to get a 1 year masters in either Sports Management, Political Science, and some schools have 1 year Master's of Law. The reason for this is so I can get certified earlier and be able to try to sign the guys that I still know. Back in the day you could get certified without having a post grad degree, but now you cant take the certification test until you complete a post grad. I've thought that I could try night law school or some type of part time while I'm working if I think I'll need the extra skills.

I'm an attorney. Unless you want to practice law, do not go to law school. You'll be able to navigate your way through a sports service contract after a little practice, and most of the time, there will be a full-time attorney around to dot the i's and cross the t's anyway. You don't need a law degree, unless you're using it for credibility or to get your foot in the door. I suggest using those three years you'd be trapped in a library to get real life experience in the field you want to pursue.

some valid points, but consider the following. these are among the top sports agents in the US. Scott Boras, Tom Condon, Seth Levinson, Drew Rosenhaus, Jeff Schwartz, Greg Genske. all of them are lawyers. that is not a coincidence.

i too am a lawyer it is foolish to think that going to law school is only for those interested in being a full time lawyer. that makes no sense. the business world is scattered with CEOs who trained as a lawyer.

Thank you for the advice, its something I'm going to have to think about

The only question I have, have had, and will continue to have.....

Have there been ANY internal discussions regarding the possibility of bringing in a dedicated OC? It would lessen the load on Richt and free him up to do more of the macro level thing, which I honestly feel would make him an even better coach.

The play calling last season was absolutely horrible at times. Please tell me he recognizes this. He's not playing to his strengths by taking on the additional burdern of calling plays. I also think has shown a great eye for coaching talent (Coach K, Diaz are great examples) so I'm sure he'd make a great OC hire, if he ever decided to let it go.

What Richt didn't like about UGA is that he couldn't call the plays the last 7 or so seasons, so I doubt that he's going to want to go back to that.
 
Sorry if it's already been asked but I'm not combing 18 pages.

How good do think Travis Homer is? Is he gonna be a beast and do you think fans are overlooking him?

I think he's going to make an impact this season. He's very physically gifted and is among the highest effort guys on the team no matter if he's in on offense or special teams.

Thread Recaps - tired of the guys not taking the time to read a great thread and asking question brought up like 6 pages ago.

Answer are based on what fpenny hardaway has said already

How is Richt staff different from Golden?
- Scheme
- Coaches get along
- Better Philosophy
- Less Slogan
- Scout/Walkons actually practiced in teams, 1on1s, and 7on7s reps
- Starting team isn't told where ball is going against scout team in practices
- less Fights / Arguments

When did Golden start to lose the Program?
- After the 2014 game vs FSU. Started playing not to lose instead of playing to win in the 2nd half.
- continuous failure to adapt

Was Paul Williams as bad as rumored?
- Yes. Bad person and coach.
- Had verbal fights with players
- shouldn't be coaching kids

How is Gus different from Swasey
- Gus has assistance everywhere
- nutritionist
- more intense
- Can't get lazy. Always doing a workout. very little resting in between workouts
- More workout periods/days
- Matt Drills/workout is tougher then 'Utough'

What was up with Richt's play calling and will he get a OC?
- Richt was getting back into the groove of play calling and he open the playbook more.. less predictable on early downs.
- He will not get a OC. Pfn Said Richt really love calling plays and it sucked for him his last couple years at UGA because he couldn't call plays. He not giving it up this time.

(IMO - not afpenny's): Richt should still call plays because he has a higher winning % as a play caller at UGA then when he stopped.

Thoughts on RBs:
- Back up spot is pretty open.
- Homer - He has a lot of talent. could make a big impact
- Choc - If he is heathly he has a shot
- Gus was the most talented back we had until injuries

Thoughts on WRs:
- Cager, 82 savage on the outside.. Berrios in the slot.
- Thomas and Mullins should get a lot of burn.

Thoughts on OL:
- Brown has a good chance to start
- Not sure about Milo etc

Thought on possible QB Starter and having more mobility at QB
- Apf Said Sheriffs has the best skill set to start and probably will and that Allison has the best pure arm.
- having mobile QB should help since Richt runs RPO and O-line

Thought on the gae photos galls and other took under Golden.. What was Golden reaction
- Golden was very upset about the photos

Thoughts on Grace, JY, and AQM getting kicked off
- everyone was disappointed.. especially since the school was still under probation.

What is Apfenny doing now a days?
- looking for a school to play his final year of football. Wants to play more. Western Michigan I think is the favorite at the moment but doesn't mind FIU.
- Trying to be a sports agent.. working on the degree to get it.
- Getting head and laying pipe

Who are the rah rah / Leaders guys?
- Jaquan Johnson
- Shaq
- and for coaches it Stacy Searels

Fastest guys on team? (no order)
- Mayes
- Henley

Is the stadium that much louder on the field after the renovations?
- Yes. Roof made it louder. Stadium could sound like 80k even though this is only 40k actually there.

How does our facilities compare to others?
- It kinda behind but overall solid. Locker room is solid. HRS looks great. Weight room getting a face lift w/ IPF coming soon.
- To players.. Locker Room and Weight room are more important to them.. everything else is just a bonus.
- Apf said if kids are only commit to a school because of their facilities then their committing for the wrong reasons #bars

There is so much more interesting stuff in this threat.. THIS IS A MUCH READ. So much insight on the program from the Golden/Richt era.

He already said rust was a big issue. He also said we could drop 30+ points on anyone at the end of the season. I agree.

Don't care what he said.....homeboy is making ALOT of money. That horrible play calling stretch cost us the Coastal this year.

Then this is going to continue to be something to watch going forward. Disappointing if it hasn't even been considered.

Rust?

This isn't a railroad track.

Yup. Rust won't be an excuse this year considering our schedule is even softer than it was last year.
