rams80 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 And let's all agree that Player B, who wasn't invited, has the worst stats of the 3Yeah but he also missed two games due to an injury and split carries with two other backs.So why should a part time player be nominated for Heisman?Because he plays for oft-slighted and forgotten Oregon.

thespleenenator Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Just heard that Texas A&M is about to hire a new coach. The name of this coach (according to various sources)... Mark Richt.

Cola Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 While a downgrade, I wouldn't blame Richt much for doing it. He has been treated pretty badly by the Georgia fanbase and those within the program for the past few years. Every UGA fan I know wanted his ass gone after the first 4 games of the season...said some horrible things about him. A couple of weeks ago...he was the best coach in the nation because he fought back.I've never understood it. I've always liked the guy and how he motivates his players.

Chicageaux Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 From what I've heard, reports are true and Richt is a contender for the A&M job, the question is if he wants to leave Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong in that assessment?I've relaxed my stance on firing Richt based on that Georgia did manage to get to the SEC Championship (even if they did benefit from having about as easy a conference schedule as you can get....Georgia did win all the games they were supposed to win, which is all I ask for) and Georgia also beat all the rivals that matter (Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech). Getting blown out by LSU is allowable since they're so damn good this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong in that assessment?Not wrong to expect success...but a lot of teams recruit well and don't have great seasons every year (Cal, FSU, UCLA, Tennessee, Notre Dame, etc). Sometimes things don't pan out and recruiting rankings don't always produce on the field. Obviously, the easy thing to do is to blame the head coach for that failure to transition- but it really is a lot of other factors, some that can't be helped. If they could be figured out to a science, then everyone would be winners.I guess being a Carolina fan, I've learned to endure a lot over time.

Billy B Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Illinois was pretty quiet in their head coach search, but announced today that Tim Beckman has been hired.

Am I wrong in that assessment?Yeah, losing to the then-#5 team in the nation is a total embarrassment. It's an embarrassment when the totality of Georgia's talent is better than those of Boise State, Colorado, and Central Florida...yet the team managed to lose to all these teams, and in ways where talent alone should have gotten the team by. It's an embarrassment that these top-10 recruiting classes have netted 8-5 and 6-7 records the last two seasons.Like I said, Georgia's perennially getting ranked in the top-10 in these recruiting polls. I don't know where UCF, Colorado, and BSU are in the rankings, but I know it's significantly south of 10 each year.So, yes, Georgia should never, ever be losing games to the likes of Boise State, Colorado, and Central Florida. I'm not setting the bar so high where I expect perfection. I only ask that Georgia merely beat the opponents that they're much more talented than. That wasn't happening in 2009 and 2010.

Lights Out Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Recruiting polls mean very little IMO. With the right coaching, so-called "2-star" recruits can look like blue chips. That's what guys like Petersen and Leach have done to great success. And the star rankings seem to be based more on where a recruit is from and who's recruiting them, not on actual talent. Kellen Moore was a 3-star quarterback coming out of high school. Looking back on his career, I think we can all agree that ranking was way off-base.And it's not like collecting a bunch of blue chips guarantees national titles and BCS bowl wins, either. Florida State, Miami, and Notre Dame prove that every year now. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
