Mark Richt Says Georgia Bulldogs' Thursday Practice "Stunk"

PrintAt the rate things are going, it’s entirely possible I won’t even make it to September 4. I’m so ready for some football and so worried about the season that I’m reading something into everything. The pessimist in me wonders whether changes in practice schedules reveal a lack of imagination and innovation, whether cryptic comments about the location of the defensive coaches suggest a lack of attention to detail, and whether I ought to be worried about Seth Emerson’s latest report:
Mark Richt had to rush off to a speaking engagement so we didn’t get him for long after Friday’s practice. Here’s what he did have to say:
He was retroactively critical of Thursday’s practice.
"Did I tell you it stunk yesterday?" Richt said, looking around. "Well it did."
He came to that conclusion after watching film on Friday. . . .
Guard Cordy Glenn, dealing with mono, has been doing some indoor conditioning, with a target of returning to practice the week of the opener.
Hey, wait a minute . . . that actually sounds all right, doesn’t it? Coach Richt didn’t react rashly and didn’t tip his hand, but he reviewed the films promptly and came to a conclusion in time to address whatever problems existed at the next practice. Yeah, I don’t have a problem with that at all.
Regarding Cordy Glenn, I’m glad to hear he’s making progress, but, if what I heard in high school about how a fellow went about contracting mononucleosis was accurate, any activity euphemistically referred to as "indoor conditioning" isn’t the best way of treating what ails him, if you know what I mean.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Re: Cordy Glenn
Give Coach some credit. I saw Kirk Herbstreit claim “Mark Richt is on the hot seat at UGA” on College Football Live, at least he kept Craig James from showing up.
Herbie also said he expected Georgia to be a surprise team.
He seemed high on just about everyone in the SEC except Arkansas, and he picked Florida to win the East, but at least he indicated that the ’Dawgs were liable to rebound.
Go 'Dawgs!
One out of two ain't bad I suppose.
I agree that UGA will be a surprise to some people who like to tell everybody in America that they know all there is to know about college football. I have been telling folks since Willie was fired that the Dawgs were going to be a much better football team. Is/was it all Willie’s fault? No, but the play of the defense was his little red wagon to pull.
Now, being that I’m the Antikyle, aka the eternal optimist, I believe the Dawgs with the new defensive scheme will be able to shock the world and probably won’t miss on their assignments as much as others think they will. I am looking for a return to the Junkyard Dawg days when our D could and would carry the team when needed. I don’t know who the next Terry Hoage is, but I believe we’ll find one on this team. There might just be a Richard Tardits too.
These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along
I like it. Complacency has been a big worry around my pack of Dawg fans, and this helps to assuage those worries.
I throw raps that attack like the Japs on Pearl Harbor/MC's be out like bank robbers/Fleeing the scene, to be a sole survivor/DJ the getaway driver/Tried to dip but he dive, I socialize on vocal vibes/On tracks stabbed up with razor sharp knives
Complacency is way down on my list of worries.
Mark Richt is firing coaches and changing practice schedules. Mike Bobo is figuring out the best place for him to be while calling the plays. Todd Grantham is installing a completely new defensive system and talking about aggressiveness. Scott Lakatos is teaching the secondary new techniques techniques familiar to everyone except Willie Martinez. Warren Belin is letting Blair Walsh kick it out the back of the end zone. Players are getting playing time based upon performance.
Complacency ain’t one of our problems; we’ve had enough change in Athens in the last nine months to make Barack Obama go, “Dang!” I’m just worried about whether it will come together, and, if so, when. You don’t have to worry about folks resting on their laurels when they have no laurels upon which to rest.
Go 'Dawgs!
I need you to come explain this to the gnats that keep bothering me in my town
