Said it in another post, these kids are not stupid. They see what is going on good and bad. They understand we are feilding a team that is less manned than a pro team and we do not have a practice squard to call up guys when someone gets hurt. They seem we have a small squad than a lot of high school teams. They know we just got off probation. They know!
They also know it does not take a roster of 5* player to win a MNC. It takes players with a passion, desire and will to win. Show me one younger player that has played that does not show that. Recruits see our freshman balling out. Yeah, they are not perfect, but they are balling out and a recruit knows that can be him next year. That is what we can sell. We still put player in the NFL and are still respected for doing so, that we can sell. We are a top 50 institution in the nation, that we can sell.
To those that sit on here and spew poison, go find a new team. It does nothing but hurt this one. It is obvious that this team is struggling, but you can't win the Kentucky Derby on a donkey. Give Richt some thoroughbreds and lets see how he runs the race.
Lol at the stupidity. Give him 'thoroughbreds'? Give anyone 'thoroughbreds' and they can be considered decent. The problem is we are underachieving relative to the talent we actually have. The only team more talented than us that we've played thus far is FSU. Our schedule has been weak and we just lost to the worst Notre dame team since the 1970s.
Keep telling yourself that this coach will maximize his talent when he couldn't do so at Georgia or even leave them with a sensible roster despite living in one of the most talent rich states in the country.
He won't do anything with more 'thoroughbreds'.
LOL at my stupidity? Underachieving with the talent we have? Keep convincing yourself as you mope through the season bashing Richt and giving reasons for anyone worth a **** to go elsewhere. Great job! Gold star for you and your effort.
Also, as I remember, FSU lost to UNC. So maybe they are better than we thought. We took 49 player to VT, that is barely 2 deep, over half underclassmen. But Richt sucks because he could not take 49 guys to VT and win. Love your logic.
So tell me which of you wonderful coaching guru's could coach this team to the Coastal and beat Clemson? Saban, Urban, Art...? None of them could. Saban was 7-6-1 at MSU his first year, 8-4 at LSU and 7-6 at the mighty Bama. None were on probation, and none were playing games with only 49 guys.
