Georgia needs a new DC just as badly as Dawg fans need patience and faith in the direction of this program. Kirby Smart just said, "No thanks, I've got a prettier prom date," so Richt must go back to the drawing board. In the long run, this is probably best for Georgia. Smart is highly thought of and presumed to receive a Head Coaching job somewhere else within the next 2-3 years.
To be honest, Kirby Smart would have been a quick fix for the defensive debacles at UGA. But, I don't believe in quick fixes. Why? Because they do little to provide long term stability. And that's what this regime desperately needs. Mark Richt needs to find and cultivate the talents of a Mickey Andrews-esque assistant. The problem is, do men with such loyalty still exist? And, where do you find such a DC?
Georgia might be better off with a lesser known commodity, who is thankful for the opportunity to coach in Athens. That could be a Travis Jones, Todd Grantham, or someone so far unnamed in this process. Most of the local media has their money on Grantham, but who knows what UGA will do?
G Tech is after Al Groh. Maybe Richt could at least escalate the pay scale for his services. Go Dawgs!

Thanks for the email cuz,
I really hope that Georgia can get some thing going with the new coaches they are bringing in, however, I agree that a programs strength and conditioning coach is vital.
If UGA is not keeping up with the rest of the conference in size and speed, then they won't be able to get things turned around. It's hard to come up with a winning game plan if your playing someone that is stonger, faster, and in better shape.
