I dont know kirby smart or his family but i can tell you this, he is the best thing to happen to uga football. He is uga football. There's nobody that has done more and nobody could. Read this part really good. Uga football can lose any fan, any media person, or any player and we will be okay.The one and only person we NEED is kirby smart. SEC CHAMPS. The last two games sonny smart saw were the ga tech game and sec championship game. What a gift from his son. How proud he mustve been. RIP sonny, we love you kirby smart! GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!
@jayteerogers2829Saban had zero titles at Kirby's age. Kirby was all sec as a player. Kirby makes 13 mil+. Kirby coaches at his alma mater. I think he's doing just fine.
Paul Finebaum is a chameleon. Whatever team is hot at the moment, is who he’s trumpeting. If Georgia has a great year next season, he’ll be out there saying “I knew it all along.”…
@JoshStrickland-n8x yay I'm also grateful for what he's built 2 straight national championships and 3 sec titles it sucks to lose but I'm 1000 percent grateful
It wasn't the call. It was the fact that our OL sucks balls. They weren't able to open up lanes and they really weren't good blocking either. Our offensive line and receivers have sucked all year long. I've been disappointed in some of our game plans, but honestly it's been the fundamentals of blocking and catching that's plagued us all year long. The players just didn't develop.
Wrong. Bobo calls plays that don't work (runs up the middle), yet plays that DO work (toss sweep), he rarely calls it. Bobo thinks drops and fumbles are flukes and he doesn't rectify it in practice. In 8 games, Georgia scored 7 points or less. Mike Bobo absolutely sucks. There's no killer instinct. When Bobo SHOULD be aggressive, he's conservative. When he SHOULD be conservative, he's aggressive like before the halftime fumble. All the offensive players have regressed under Bobo.
@@NickB1121 Jumping on the "hate Bobo" bandwagon is easy, and I can understand why. But Bobo's play calling is way down on the list of problems our offense had this year. Our offensive line (OL) struggled immensely-they didn't block well and failed to open up lanes for a sustained rushing attack. Additionally, we led the FBS in dropped passes. That was a significant issue, especially when your starting QB is primarily a passer. These fundamental problems are inexcusable, especially with 4 and 5-star recruits. That's a coaching issue. While I can't speak to what happens off the field or in practices, it's clear that something is missing on the field. Some players seemed to regress from last year's level of play, and no one stepped up and improved. I can't think of a single offensive player who showed significant improvement. This falls on Kirby, Bobo, and the rest of the coaching staff. The bigger problem this year wasn't the game plan but the overall execution and player development. That's on Kirby, Bobo, and rest of the coaching staff, and that was a much bigger problem for us this year than gameplan.
@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove when things are going bad, Bobo defenders will blame players. When things are good, Bobo defenders give credit to Bobo. Which is it? It can't be one thing when times are bad, and another when things are good. Look, Bobo is mentally ill. Calling 20 runs up the middle expecting a different result is insane. Yet successful toss sweeps are rarely used. We didn't have drop issues under Monken. Bobo thinks drops and fumbles are flukes. So he doesn't rectify it in practice. That's just a fact.
@@NickB1121sorry it’s on the head coach for hiring his friend as the OC. You can be mad at bobo. But Kirby is responsible. It starts and ends with him as the HC.
@@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove and they dam sure didn't play for his dad. Money talks championships are lost and never will get it back who after a 100 years gonna care if Georgia ever wins another. This I know for dam sure the portal has ruined college football

You’re correct Bobo called the play and Smart agreed to it. A lot of changes need to be made on our coaching staff. My condolences to the Smart family.
Paul and the other guys who said uga will never be dominant anymore are world class idiots for that anybody with a brain knows if uga fix that offense it’s going to be insanely hard trying to stop the dawgs
@@rondrigiuswilliams_GODAWGS does the truth hurt your feelings? I hope Georgia gets back to their dominance more than anyone. However, Kirby has a bad record when it comes to finding great position coaches. He would rather hire his buddies.
Outside of people named Saban, that pretty much happens to all teams. Kirby has been coaching now for 9 years. Very important that he reinvent himself.....Don't fall into a rut like Dabo
Honestly im about sick of everyone critcizing the play before the half. Had they took a knee the same crybabies would have screamed about not trying to do something with 2 timeouts and 40 seconds left. They were down by 3 and ND got the ball after the half and most of you know you would have made the same decision. Good job driving from the recliner.
Well it’s wrong because of the outcome where Monroe freeling got beat at left tackle By notre dames edge rusher for a strip sack in Gunnar and they ended up scoring after to make it 13-3. Had they been able to at least get a field goal or just go into the halftime we would be having a completely different conversation and we still Could have won the game.
Kirby didn’t anticipate his left tackle getting beaten up and having a bad game and they switched him out and put truss and Greene at the Tackles instead.
I can only imagine what Kirby is going through. He obviously was under duress even during the game. Look this has been a different year for everyone, then every thing that happened before the game. I’m disappointed but I can tell you I love this coach and I love this team! Definitely everything needs to be analyzed and looked at off season. Prayers truly for Kirby and family🙏🙏🙏We are so fortunate in many ways and we need to suck it up, work it out and get back to business. I will say this, if things are not working and you keep doing it you really need to try something else. I still believe Kirby is the best but we might want to evaluate some of these other coaches. GO DAWGS ❤️🖤❤️
Well maybe you will not have a immediate family member to leave earth while you're in a huge situation in your life..... ND beat Georgia everyone knows this hater!!!
Paul Lipbalm is as useless as the rest of the talking heads. Sorry for Kirby's loss. That is terrible along with the losses in the French quarter. Having to navigate that AND try to win a football game ....a GAME....is trying to be superman. I hope Georgia gets back next year and we can do it again. -ND fan
Can’t continue to score 3 points 6 points in the first half and come from behind to win the game. The offense has regressed tremendously and that’s because of Mike Bobo. Changes are needed and it starts with him.
Finebaum always stirring the pot and saying things that he later regrets!! UGA will be fine and if Paul doesn't have enough respect for a coach that just lost his father, F Finebaum and the rest of them. Dawgs will be there for Kirby and his family.
If the play would have gone for an 86 yd td or whatever you would be singing his praises. Neither you nor Paul are qualified to criticize Kirby about anything. It is easy to throw stones after the fact. Get a clue, here it is. Remember this. Just as it was during the Civil War, the North, BIG 10, ND, and many other schools have more money. If rules about NIL and a pay cap are not implemented, you can look for GA and every SEC school except for the TX schools to continue falling behind. If your budget can not keep up neither will your teams.
Gunner played great for the situation! Very impressed with that kid. However, he was still inexperienced. Carson would’ve checked out of the run call on the play where ETN fumbled. Everybody saw Notre Dame blitzing on that play except for Gunner. UGA would’ve at least got a FG on that drive, maybe even a TD. That would’ve changed everything. No way they’d be going into 2 minute with 40 seconds left in the 1st half. I’m not saying UGA would’ve won the game with Beck. But there would’ve been some different decisions made with him imo.
They didn't get dominated at the line of scrimmage? What game were you watching? Both side of the ball, ND was superior in protecting their QB and opening holes. While on the opposite side, the Irish defensive front opened up holes to created pressure on your QB and really smushed any semblance of a running game you all had. In the trenches is where the game was lost for the dawgs, as simple as that.
Georgia lost the battle in the trenches. One reason why they lost. They didn’t get “dominated”. Georgia’s DL sure didn’t get dominated. Their OL certainly did though.
Lol outside of riley leonard tucking and running notre dame didn't have a run game and he never had time to pass thats why he only had like 90 yards and ga out gained notre dame with an inexperienced qb who didn't set the protections at the line and has a slow release the difference in the game was the 2 fumbles and the kick return you take away those two touch downs from those two events and ga out scored notre dame the rest of the time they weren't dominated
@@dawgpost Did the D-Line get any kind of consistent pressure? No. Were they able to make critical stops and get the Georgia offense back on the field? No. The ND play-calling was, quite obviously, very conservative. But on neither side of the line of scrimmage, was UGA a factor at any point. ND asserted their will at the line. Had Georgia been able to do anything up front, it might have been a different outcome. But instead, they got outworked and out-played. You can refuse to call it dominated if you like, but the general consensus among those without a slant, saw it as a dominant performance by the Irish.
@@CodyAkins Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Your statement is full of conjecture and hypotheticals. Your QB play was not at fault for the outcome. ND has been doing this to teams all year long. And if the QB is not able to make coverage scheme adjustments, where was the captain of the O-line at in making those needed adjustments? How about the coaching? Your point just highlighted more issues with other facets of the game that Notre Dame punched holes through time and time again.
Prayers for the Smart family. Paul F. Is just a talking head for pay. Kirby needs to revamp the O-Line with dudes with attitude and purpose. N.D. D-line was undersized but more athletic same applies to Georgia Tech. UGA lacks foot speed on the line.
And the end of the day, Kirby Smart and UGA owes Paul; Finebaum and no one else anything especially talking heads that make a living off others success because without them the talking heads would not have nothing to talk about.
That “2 min drive” was pure deja vu. I literally said “please just go into the half and BAM my biggest fear happened in real time. Such a horrible and obvious mistake.
Condolences to Kirby and his family.. For Bobo to have a month of preparation and not have 10 set rpo plays ready for a running quarterback.. was lazy and embarrassing!!! Notre dame called the offensive game that Georgia should have been calling for our quarterback.. gross incompetent oversight!!!
Probable unwelcomed perspective from an ND fan, but I wonder if your staff felt confident in getting chunk yardage quickly those final 40 seconds before half after reviewing ND's performance in similar situations throughout the season. As much as I love our DB's man coverage competency, I think the team's "prevent" scheme may be one of the worst in the country. Gave up a quick score before half while in prevent zone against USC, and then proceeded to give up tons of yards in zone the rest of that game. Then also giving up the 2 late scores to Indiana in the last 5 mins of the quarterfinals while in prevent zone. Given that track record, wonder if analytics pointed towards UGA being aggressive there.
I personally had zero issue with the call given how gunner had been playing up to that point. Coupled with what you just pointed out, it makes even more sense. Thanks for the perspective.
Let’s be honest for a sec… We lost 9 WRs to dismissal, the portal, and the NFL from last years squad. You’re replacing 2 top 15 NFL pass catchers as rookies… with some j.a.gs You lost 6 OL to the NFL and Portal. That rooms dealt with shuffling and injuries all season. RB room has been decimated with injuries. To the point we’ve had to play multiple freshman and a walk on in cash jones because we can’t stay healthy. You lost your veteran starting QB that’s really had to put the team on his back all year long. Then you stroll into the sugar bowl against a team that’s honestly just more talented than you. During a time where there’s so many distractions going on. I almost say that’s the best word to describe this team this year. Distracted. Rara Thomas and Colbie Young get dismissed. The countless driving infractions. A terrorist attack. The impact of NIL and the transfer portal on the roster before the playoffs even start. So much has happened. I’m ready to put the season to bed and focus on what’s coming next. I agree things need to change. But idk if firing anyone and then bringing someone with new philosophies in will help right now. Especially right after you just signed such a talented recruiting class.
Notre dame more talented than Georgia.. NO u make good points, or excuses.. but valid. But portals and losing guys to the NFL is just something u have to deal with and Saban did it and dealt with the same problems and he won 7 national championships. Notre dame does not have a more talented roster than Georgia. Georgia got outcoached!! And Todd monkin would have dropped 50 on notre dame. And this is why u don't hire ur friends.. and as much as i luv # 0 rod Robinson running the ball, nate Frazier was just as good running or better than any back on staff!!
@ Brother… Jeremiah Love is better than every player on UGA’s offense. Jordan Faison is better than every WR on UGA’s roster. Riley Leonard played better than Stockton did. ND’s OL is better than UGA’s. ND is better than UGA this year. On paper it doesn’t appear that way. On the field it was abundantly clear. Nick Saban got out of coaching because he saw what was coming. The days of being able to stockpile elite NFL talent is gone. If these talented players aren’t ready to play over established vets they’re leaving in 1 year. Tampering is at an all time high and there’s no regulation to stop it. Saban won in a bye gone era of CFB. What did he do from 2020-2023? What has he done since NIL came into effect? NIL was passed in 2021… SABAN DIDNT WIN A THING IN THE NIL ERA AND SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND RAN FOR THE HILLS. Monken wasn’t dropping crap on anyone with this roster 🤦🏽♂️
@consciousm1nd that was my point is the best running back is hurt.. he had turf toe surgery.. we're kind of diald into all that.. now if u would, politely get off my sack, thanks!! Sliiiide dork
@consciousm1nd u truly sound unintelligible and uninformed and with very little regard to the very coaches, and seasons and bowl games that got us here today.. u sound like a snotty noes little kid.. fr! Notre dame beat uga, yall played good football, congratulations..
I wonder if the attack never happened on New Years if Kirby's dad would have even fallen or we would have even lost. Tragic, unexpected circumstances all the way around.
Look like Notre Dame did their homework and used Georgia's game against them and was more physical and got the win. My hat goes out to The Fighting Irish 💪
And Nate gave UGA the momentum but was pulled for loyalty issues for the starter. Bobo has never been able to call a play under duress and Kirby was aggressive. The tight end and receiver group needs the portal or dismissed. Delp stopped his feet and reached on the goal line. That ain’t a player.
The OT missed the block but Carson likely would have felt the pressure and stepped up into the pocket whereas Gunner not as experienced did not. Gunner will be fine with time and more coaching.
No, he wouldn't have. Anytime the same thing happens 4 games in a row, it's a trend that shows a lack of awareness and football IQ. Fumbles at the end of halves 4 games in a row.
Maybe Kirby having his father in the hospital at the time made him lose focus. Idk. I agree with both Matt and Finebum. It was a horrible call given the field position and the pressure that Gunner had experienced up to that point.
Playing devils advocate here (I am not a Georgia fan) I thought Kirby was trying to steal some points here because the back up quarterback should be really well drilled on the two minute offense. They wanted the three points for psychological reasons but it just didn’t work out. He can’t play left tackle. I thought the opening kick return really killed you guys and that was purely mental. Either way it’s hard to put Gunner in at his first start for a game of that magnitude. I’m a Tennessee fan and at some point during the season you could see that he will be really good one day but asking him to get us to elite status was just unfair. Once you lost your starter the season was over.
When you have fumbled at the end of halves 3 games in a row, then you do the same for a 4th game, something is missing with your team. This team has little discipline and awareness on and off the field. The program seems to be trending in the wrong direction. Will we look back two or three years from now and question whether Monken and Lanning were the drivers of this program's ascension?
I believe that in the 2024 season that Georgia played over their heads. Both of the regular season loses were embarrassing. Also the Kentucky and Georgia Tech games were embarrassing. That is 4 out of the 12 they played. The team suffered from a serious talent decrease this season. That said, I think probably Kirby did the best job he could with what he had. We have some serious problems on both sides of the line that need to be addressed. Many judged Georgia on the Texas games. Looking back, I think Texas has a few problems of their own this year. However what has really been most distressing this year was the Tech game.......especially after Tech lost to Vandy. The coaching staff: I think everyone pretty well knows that Coach Bobo is going to catch most of the heat. Is Bobo the best OC that we could have? No.....but still I think he did a pretty good job. That said I do not expect him to be with the team this season though. I think Stockton will be the starter this season. We will see how that goes. I would love to see the Dawgs pick up another elite 5 star QB though. More importantly we need lineman. Kirby needs to start beating the bushes on that
To travel and play in Lexington to play a team that beat south Carolina was not embarrassing. We won the game, that's what matters. To go 8 ot with ur arch rival who is alot better coached and alot more talented and who beat 3 top 15 teams this year is not embarrassing.. Georgia tech played hard and with alot of heart.. and that was a great win!! u sound foolish
At the end of the day....our job is to talk about the team?!?!?!?!? Really? I lost all respect for this guy and dawgpost as a whole. When will people start being human again? We really are living in sad times. Im ashamed of you Dean....i thought you were a good guy....and you hired this clown?
I'll be surprised if this team is any better next year with the loss of personnel. Gunner needs a superior cast around him to flourish and I don't see it. RB production is way down. Face it...Dylan Bell is not special.
I'm sorry, I disagree with all of this. Gunner was playing well. I see no issue going 2 min there. Freeling completely whiffed. Then, I don't see how we had a massive miscue on sp teams to start half. You take away two plays, we probably win this game.
@ but those reasons were nothing more than indicators that they were the inferior team. Can you not understand that offering they didn’t block well, they didn’t tackle well, they didn’t cover the kick off well, etc. are just ways of saying they were not good enough.
Georgia was not better then ND! This is not 2021, it’s 2024! Even on paper, ND was the better team in just about every statistical category ND is top five in Defense and scoring offense!
Back off, show some respect, compassion, and understanding. A nightmare of a bowl game in all respects. Fine baum has no class. Always running that yap, just like all his little buddies on ESPN.
Mike Bobo calls runs up the middle that rarely works, yet toss sweeps that do work, he rarely calls it. Then, despite the running game not working, Bobo will call playaction passes, and the defense doesn't bite on it because the running game isn't working. Mike Bobo is mentally ill. And he's getting worse. Bobo thinks drops and fumbles are flukes. So he doesn't rectify it in practice. Practice MUST be harder than games. Yet games are harder than practice because Bobo is oblivious to the small things

Kirby Smart hired Bobo. Kirby Smart is sticking with the O-line coach--even after abysmal play! Kirby Smart lost his father! The best days of Georgia football are behind us! Kirby Smart lost his edge after that 2nd Championship!
I can assure you that A LOT of people in the State of Georgia do care, both about the game and the families of the head coaches at UGA, past and present. People do care.

They didn't get dominated at the line of scrimmage? What game were you watching? Both side of the ball, ND was superior in protecting their QB and opening holes. While on the opposite side, the Irish defensive front opened up holes to created pressure on your QB and really smushed any semblance of a running game you all had. In the trenches is where the game was lost for the dawgs, as simple as that.
Georgia lost the battle in the trenches. One reason why they lost. They didn’t get “dominated”. Georgia’s DL sure didn’t get dominated. Their OL certainly did though.
Lol outside of riley leonard tucking and running notre dame didn't have a run game and he never had time to pass thats why he only had like 90 yards and ga out gained notre dame with an inexperienced qb who didn't set the protections at the line and has a slow release the difference in the game was the 2 fumbles and the kick return you take away those two touch downs from those two events and ga out scored notre dame the rest of the time they weren't dominated
@@dawgpost Did the D-Line get any kind of consistent pressure? No. Were they able to make critical stops and get the Georgia offense back on the field? No. The ND play-calling was, quite obviously, very conservative. But on neither side of the line of scrimmage, was UGA a factor at any point. ND asserted their will at the line. Had Georgia been able to do anything up front, it might have been a different outcome. But instead, they got outworked and out-played. You can refuse to call it dominated if you like, but the general consensus among those without a slant, saw it as a dominant performance by the Irish.
@@CodyAkins Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Your statement is full of conjecture and hypotheticals. Your QB play was not at fault for the outcome. ND has been doing this to teams all year long. And if the QB is not able to make coverage scheme adjustments, where was the captain of the O-line at in making those needed adjustments? How about the coaching? Your point just highlighted more issues with other facets of the game that Notre Dame punched holes through time and time again.
@@shawnsullivan1997 🤣
Hey, we lost. Time to deal with it. Go Dawgs!
Prayers for the Smart family.
Paul F. Is just a talking head for pay.
Kirby needs to revamp the O-Line with dudes with attitude and purpose. N.D. D-line was undersized but more athletic same applies to Georgia Tech. UGA lacks foot speed on the line.
Please for the sake of the Team fire BOBO & hire someone with a creative mind like Buster Faulkner !!!!!!!
And the end of the day, Kirby Smart and UGA owes Paul; Finebaum and no one else anything especially talking heads that make a living off others success because without them the talking heads would not have nothing to talk about.
That “2 min drive” was pure deja vu. I literally said “please just go into the half and BAM my biggest fear happened in real time. Such a horrible and obvious mistake.
My condolences and prayers to a great coach, Kirby Smart but Notre Dame kicked ass in all 3 phases of the game. GO IRISH!!!
Condolences to Kirby and his family..
For Bobo to have a month of preparation and not have 10 set rpo plays ready for a running quarterback.. was lazy and embarrassing!!! Notre dame called the offensive game that Georgia should have been calling for our quarterback.. gross incompetent oversight!!!
Probable unwelcomed perspective from an ND fan, but I wonder if your staff felt confident in getting chunk yardage quickly those final 40 seconds before half after reviewing ND's performance in similar situations throughout the season. As much as I love our DB's man coverage competency, I think the team's "prevent" scheme may be one of the worst in the country. Gave up a quick score before half while in prevent zone against USC, and then proceeded to give up tons of yards in zone the rest of that game. Then also giving up the 2 late scores to Indiana in the last 5 mins of the quarterfinals while in prevent zone. Given that track record, wonder if analytics pointed towards UGA being aggressive there.
Had to be analytically driven. Just didn’t make sense.
I personally had zero issue with the call given how gunner had been playing up to that point. Coupled with what you just pointed out, it makes even more sense. Thanks for the perspective.
Let’s be honest for a sec…
We lost 9 WRs to dismissal, the portal, and the NFL from last years squad. You’re replacing 2 top 15 NFL pass catchers as rookies… with some j.a.gs
You lost 6 OL to the NFL and Portal. That rooms dealt with shuffling and injuries all season.
RB room has been decimated with injuries. To the point we’ve had to play multiple freshman and a walk on in cash jones because we can’t stay healthy.
You lost your veteran starting QB that’s really had to put the team on his back all year long.
Then you stroll into the sugar bowl against a team that’s honestly just more talented than you. During a time where there’s so many distractions going on.
I almost say that’s the best word to describe this team this year. Distracted. Rara Thomas and Colbie Young get dismissed. The countless driving infractions. A terrorist attack. The impact of NIL and the transfer portal on the roster before the playoffs even start.
So much has happened. I’m ready to put the season to bed and focus on what’s coming next. I agree things need to change. But idk if firing anyone and then bringing someone with new philosophies in will help right now. Especially right after you just signed such a talented recruiting class.
Notre dame more talented than Georgia.. NO u make good points, or excuses.. but valid. But portals and losing guys to the NFL is just something u have to deal with and Saban did it and dealt with the same problems and he won 7 national championships. Notre dame does not have a more talented roster than Georgia. Georgia got outcoached!! And Todd monkin would have dropped 50 on notre dame. And this is why u don't hire ur friends.. and as much as i luv # 0 rod Robinson running the ball, nate Frazier was just as good running or better than any back on staff!!
@ Brother…
Jeremiah Love is better than every player on UGA’s offense.
Jordan Faison is better than every WR on UGA’s roster.
Riley Leonard played better than Stockton did. ND’s OL is better than UGA’s.
ND is better than UGA this year. On paper it doesn’t appear that way. On the field it was abundantly clear.
Nick Saban got out of coaching because he saw what was coming. The days of being able to stockpile elite NFL talent is gone. If these talented players aren’t ready to play over established vets they’re leaving in 1 year. Tampering is at an all time high and there’s no regulation to stop it.
Saban won in a bye gone era of CFB. What did he do from 2020-2023? What has he done since NIL came into effect? NIL was passed in 2021… SABAN DIDNT WIN A THING IN THE NIL ERA AND SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND RAN FOR THE HILLS.
Monken wasn’t dropping crap on anyone with this roster 🤦🏽♂️
@ Rod Robinson is hurt and didn’t even play in the game… YOU’RE CLUELESS 😂😂
@consciousm1nd that was my point is the best running back is hurt.. he had turf toe surgery.. we're kind of diald into all that.. now if u would, politely get off my sack, thanks!! Sliiiide dork
@consciousm1nd u truly sound unintelligible and uninformed and with very little regard to the very coaches, and seasons and bowl games that got us here today.. u sound like a snotty noes little kid.. fr!
Notre dame beat uga, yall played good football, congratulations..
Monroe Freeling failed at left tackle , and didn’t use Nate Frazier enough he ran better than ETN on limited carries
Dillion Bell needs to go to baseball camp and work on outfield drills with a drill on hand placement and body positioning
I wonder if the attack never happened on New Years if Kirby's dad would have even fallen or we would have even lost. Tragic, unexpected circumstances all the way around.
That’s terrible. I’m sure the old man lived amazing Life! FIGHT ON KIRBY ✌🏽
U criticize kirby when his dad was dieing in hospital bed during the game. He should never allow you foolz ar any other press conference again.
"I know hes having a tough day....but....."
This is embarrassing!
Need to fire Mike Bobo!!!! He is trash!!!!
Georgia is becoming the Clemson of the SEC.
Look like Notre Dame did their homework and used Georgia's game against them and was more physical and got the win. My hat goes out to The Fighting Irish 💪
And Nate gave UGA the momentum but was pulled for loyalty issues for the starter. Bobo has never been able to call a play under duress and Kirby was aggressive. The tight end and receiver group needs the portal or dismissed. Delp stopped his feet and reached on the goal line. That ain’t a player.
Delp won the state championship and carried the entire team at marrietta. U have no idea what ur talking about!!
Delp carried and won the state championship at marrieta high-school, u have no idea what u r talking about
UGA running game is the weak link. Needs to be prioritized this offseason.
The OT missed the block but Carson likely would have felt the pressure and stepped up into the pocket whereas Gunner not as experienced did not. Gunner will be fine with time and more coaching.
Yeh I love Gunner but good Lord he's got a lot of growing to do. People did not appreciate Beck imo.
I agree. Beck did not get the respect he deserved. @@shekelberggoldstein1387
No, he wouldn't have. Anytime the same thing happens 4 games in a row, it's a trend that shows a lack of awareness and football IQ. Fumbles at the end of halves 4 games in a row.
Maybe Kirby having his father in the hospital at the time made him lose focus. Idk. I agree with both Matt and Finebum. It was a horrible call given the field position and the pressure that Gunner had experienced up to that point.
Playing devils advocate here (I am not a Georgia fan) I thought Kirby was trying to steal some points here because the back up quarterback should be really well drilled on the two minute offense. They wanted the three points for psychological reasons but it just didn’t work out. He can’t play left tackle. I thought the opening kick return really killed you guys and that was purely mental. Either way it’s hard to put Gunner in at his first start for a game of that magnitude. I’m a Tennessee fan and at some point during the season you could see that he will be really good one day but asking him to get us to elite status was just unfair. Once you lost your starter the season was over.
Ur team played well, congratulations to n.d.
Thanx! U God 🙏🙌 Praise the Lord 🙏🙌 N Jesus name 🙏🙌 Amen! 🙏🙌 Go! Dawgs 💪2025-2026
When you have fumbled at the end of halves 3 games in a row, then you do the same for a 4th game, something is missing with your team. This team has little discipline and awareness on and off the field. The program seems to be trending in the wrong direction. Will we look back two or three years from now and question whether Monken and Lanning were the drivers of this program's ascension?
I believe that in the 2024 season that Georgia played over their heads. Both of the regular season loses were embarrassing. Also the Kentucky and Georgia Tech games were embarrassing. That is 4 out of the 12 they played. The team suffered from a serious talent decrease this season. That said, I think probably Kirby did the best job he could with what he had. We have some serious problems on both sides of the line that need to be addressed. Many judged Georgia on the Texas games. Looking back, I think Texas has a few problems of their own this year. However what has really been most distressing this year was the Tech game.......especially after Tech lost to Vandy. The coaching staff: I think everyone pretty well knows that Coach Bobo is going to catch most of the heat. Is Bobo the best OC that we could have? No.....but still I think he did a pretty good job. That said I do not expect him to be with the team this season though. I think Stockton will be the starter this season. We will see how that goes. I would love to see the Dawgs pick up another elite 5 star QB though. More importantly we need lineman. Kirby needs to start beating the bushes on that
To travel and play in Lexington to play a team that beat south Carolina was not embarrassing. We won the game, that's what matters. To go 8 ot with ur arch rival who is alot better coached and alot more talented and who beat 3 top 15 teams this year is not embarrassing.. Georgia tech played hard and with alot of heart.. and that was a great win!! u sound foolish
Man Kirbys father just passed away... back off Paul.
At the end of the day....our job is to talk about the team?!?!?!?!? Really? I lost all respect for this guy and dawgpost as a whole. When will people start being human again? We really are living in sad times. Im ashamed of you Dean....i thought you were a good guy....and you hired this clown?
I'll be surprised if this team is any better next year with the loss of personnel. Gunner needs a superior cast around him to flourish and I don't see it. RB production is way down. Face it...Dylan Bell is not special.
Hey man! I hear you, but! Mike Bobo is just not that guy Todd Monken was! I'd at least try.... tryyyy to get him back....
Why would he go back? The ravens look amazing. And he doesn’t have to recruit. Not in a million years
I'm sorry, I disagree with all of this. Gunner was playing well. I see no issue going 2 min there. Freeling completely whiffed. Then, I don't see how we had a massive miscue on sp teams to start half. You take away two plays, we probably win this game.
You guys are playing with a backup QB and your receivers haven’t been great all year. The odds were stacked against you.
Georgia will be fine. Name one team who won a national championship every single year. None
No, not multiple reasons they lost, one reason: they played a better team. Hard to out coach that.
Wrong. There were multiple reasons why they lost.
@ but those reasons were nothing more than indicators that they were the inferior team. Can you not understand that offering they didn’t block well, they didn’t tackle well, they didn’t cover the kick off well, etc. are just ways of saying they were not good enough.
Georgia was not better then ND! This is not 2021, it’s 2024! Even on paper, ND was the better team in just about every statistical category ND is top five in Defense and scoring offense!
Back off, show some respect, compassion, and understanding. A nightmare of a bowl game in all respects. Fine baum has no class. Always running that yap, just like all his little buddies on ESPN.
Mike Bobo is a terrible coach! Kirby will keep him because they’re best friends. SMH
Ya’all got beat by a better team!! Deal with it!!!
When if ever has paul finebaum been relevant..... you guessed it never
Mike Bobo calls runs up the middle that rarely works, yet toss sweeps that do work, he rarely calls it. Then, despite the running game not working, Bobo will call playaction passes, and the defense doesn't bite on it because the running game isn't working. Mike Bobo is mentally ill. And he's getting worse. Bobo thinks drops and fumbles are flukes. So he doesn't rectify it in practice. Practice MUST be harder than games. Yet games are harder than practice because Bobo is oblivious to the small things
Who hired his friend as the OC?
Lets lay offkirby gor a bit
Sad
Bobo must go period
If you were writing this instead of talking, my 12th grade amazing English teacher would have written in RED pen, “TOO WORDY”. Write down what you are going to say and you will become a better journalist. We don’t need to hear 3-4 times the same thing. Now you know. If I were in your shoes I’d want someone to tell me because I do value your opinions as they are informative.
Kirby Smart hired Bobo. Kirby Smart is sticking with the O-line coach--even after abysmal play! Kirby Smart lost his father! The best days of Georgia football are behind us! Kirby Smart lost his edge after that 2nd Championship!
Nobody gives a damn
Kinda sounds like you do
I can assure you that A LOT of people in the State of Georgia do care, both about the game and the families of the head coaches at UGA, past and present. People do care.
And Nate gave UGA the momentum but was pulled for loyalty issues for the starter. Bobo has never been able to call a play under duress and Kirby was aggressive. The tight end and receiver group needs the portal or dismissed. Delp stopped his feet and reached on the goal line. That ain’t a player.
