Why Grantham?
You may have questions about the process we have endured to finally name a DC at Georgia. You may even have questions about Todd Grantham himself. After all, his only stint as a Cleveland Browns DC was less than stellar in some people’s minds.
The only stat I need to see is the flowing:
Coaches who hired Todd Grantham
FrankBeamer/Bud Foster
Nick Saban
Romeo Crennel
Dom Capers
Wade Phillips
That’s a veritable who’s who of great defensive minds to have learned from and coach for. The fact that each of these men hired Todd Grantham, says it all to me. Congratulations to Coach Grantham and Coach Mark Richt!
Proceed with GATA! Go Dawgs!

Things Mark Richt Says In Private

I just had a thought. Okay, okay, it is a rare occurrence, but it does happen. I was “Tweeting” earlier and the commercial came on with R. Lee Ermey as a “therapist”. Based on his counseling, I would never ever want to live in Mamby-Pamby Land or be considered a Jack-Wagon. I kiddingly suggested that

I had a great time at the Georgia Kicking Camp last week. I saw Dax Langley and Billy Bennett as well as many young kickers I have met over the last few years. I am hopeful I will be able to be involved in the camp more in the future. One of the interesting developments

I am at a point where want Roughing the Kicker to be a vehicle to provide what I consider valuable information to the Bulldog Nation. Not so much football related, although the closer we get to the season, my juices are starting to flow. One such instance is coming July 12th when the 6th Annual
Is Georgia the Real “Kicker U”?

I was going to post this last year and never did. Now, as of yesterday, I am working the Georgia Kicking Camp next Tuesday June 1st. Dax Langley is running the camp. It will be great to see him.

Former Players Must Remain Mum?

A truly hot topic today is the brewing verbal sparring match between former Chicago Bears greats, Gale Sayers and Mike Ditka and present day stand-out Brian Urlacher. Sayers was speaking to a group in Nebraska earlier this month, and pointed out some question marks for the Bear’s 2010 season. Namely Jay Cutler’s sub-par year and

It seems many Georgia fans are continuing to question Mark Richt’s decision to dismiss Zach Mettenberger. They want an explanation for the seemingly hasty decision. They want details. Well, this ain’t TMZ and Mark Richt owes no one any explanations.
People have screamed for several years about discipline in the program both on and off the
Doing The Right Thing
about 4 months ago - 3 comments
The last few days have reminded me of how important doing the right thing really is. I played in yesterday’s Boy’s and Girl’s Club fundraising golf tournament which is obviously fun but a more than worthwhile group to support. I was tempted at one point though, to do the wrong thing.
A group ahead of us,

Why does Georgia’s G-Day Game coincide with The Masters? Does that make any sense? Bernie, see what you can do. I know that as good as attendance was at G-Day, it would be even better with no golf to compete with.
As last week wore on and Tiger was being described as some kind of victim,

The next few days in the Dawg Nation will be ones to remember. I can’t remember a stretch over a weekend with such promise. The Rotary Club of Marietta Park to Park Fun Run is the first of what I hope will be many race tee shirts for me. The starting line is at the
A Miss Georgia You Never Heard Of

For the sake of doing something different and positive for Georgia Bulldog fans, here is Miss Georgia 2004, Salome Chikviladze. We’ll call her Sally.
The fact that this is the country of Georgia matters not to me. See her profile here and by all means see her swimsuit pic below. I swear I’m not going

The 3-4 defense is not one I believe we have run at UGA before. At least not in recent memory. I like the fact that he used “aggressive, attacking and physical” when describing his defensive philosophy.
I hope Garner sticks around. It might take a bump in his pay to keep him, but I think he’s worth it.

We ran a 3-4 under Goff in the early 90s.

Agreed. This was the name I was most excited about when different names were tossed around. I love his experience. I think he has a lot to prove. And I actually think we can keep him for 3 years or so.

Seems to be a good hire, maybe better than the ones who turned us down. Will Travis Jones come too?
