You see ESPN ranking Kirby Smart number one and all I can think about is how different building a roster was back in the 2002 season when you actually developed kids instead of shopping the portal every winter. We landed a five-star tight end the old fahioned way this year bu...

You see Bill Connelly's previews and ESPN's coach rankings and all I can think about is how NIL has turned this sport into free agency. Back in the 1980 season we built teams through four years of development, not a checkbook. Now these kids enter the portal faster than you can say "SEC Championship" and we are left wondering who is even on the roster come August. The loyalty is gone and I do not see it coming back.

ESPN can rank their coaches all they want but Kirby Smart is the best coach in this program's history and it is not even close. I will die on this hill. I watched Vince Dooley win a national title in 1980 with Herschel and that was special but the game was completely different. Dooley coached against option offenses and wishbone teams where you could line up and run it down their throats. Kirby has had to adapt to spread offenses, tmpo, the transfer portal, NIL nonsense that destroyed roster loyalty, and still won two national titles in a four year stretch. You want to talk about building a program? Dooley had the same 22 kids for four years and could develop them slow. Kirby has to replace half his roster every offseason because these kids chase a bag or transfer for more playing time. He won a national title in 2022 with a defense that had five guys drafted in the first round and then turned around and won another one in 2024 with a completely different group of players. That is coaching. That is program building. Mark Richt won 10 games every year and we loved him for it but he never got over the hump. Kirby has taken us to three national title games in six years. The man has built a machine that reloads instead of rebuilds. I do not care what ESPN's list says or who they put at number one. Kirby Smart is the best coach in the country and he is the best coach Georgia has ever had. Period. End of story.

Just saw Bill Connelly's preview and I guarantee he's got Texas ahead of us again. You know what I remember? The 2005 Georgia-Tennessee game where we beat them 27-14 in Knoxville and they had no answer for our defense. These projection guys don't understand what it means to ha...

You see Bill Connelly put out his conference previews and I just have to laugh at how this sport has changed. Back in the 2002 season when we won the SEC with that defense that held Tennessee to 13 points in the SEC Championship, you knew exactly what you were getting from every team in the league. Now we have Texas and Oklahoma in our conference, the Big Ten is a coast to coast mess, and nobody can keep a rooster together for more than one season. I miss the days when you could name the starting lineup in April and they would still be there in November. Three portal losses in one week and our depth chart looks different than it did at the end of spring practice. That never happened when Coach Dooley was running things. You had walk ons who would bleed red and black for four years just to get a chance to play on special teams. Now these kids see a bigger NIL bag somewhere else and they are gone before the leaves change color. The 1980 team that won it all with Herschel had the same 22 starters every single week. You cannot build a program when your roster turns over 30 percent every winter. I watched our spring game and I saw some good things from the new guys we brought in through the portal. But I also saw a lot of confusion on the offensive line and that worries me. We lost some real dogs up front to the NFL draft and I am not convinced the replacements are ready for SEC football in September. The 2005 team had that offensive line that opened holes for Thomas Brown and Danny Ware and those boys played together for three years. Chemistry matters. You cannot buy that with NIL money. The recruiting rankings have us sitting at No. 11 in the 2027 class with zero five stars and people are panicking. I remember the 2002 team that had five guys drafted and only one of them was a five star recruit. That team had Max Jean Gilles and David Pollack and Boss Bailey and none of them were handed anything. They earned it in the weight room and on the practice field. These recruiting services are a joke anyway. They had us ranked 15th in 2017 and that class won a natty. I will say this about the new staff. They are working hard in fall camp and I like the way they are rotating guys through the two deep. We have a Wednesday night game against Tennessee State to open the season and I remember when we used to open against Georgia Southern or Arkansas State and you could empty the bench by the third quarter. Now every game is a dogfight because of the portal and NIL and everybody has talent. But I still believe we have the best program in the country when it comes to developing players the right way. We just need to keep our guys home and build through the high school ranks like we always did.

You see ESPN running that piece on the 23 five-stars in the 2027 class and I just have to shake my head. Back in the 1992 season when we joined the SEC East, we didn't have 23 five-star players in the entire country, let alone one class. Coach Goff had to go find kids from the Georgia high school ranks who wanted to play for the G on their helmet, not for the highest bidder. We built the 2002 SEC Championship team with three-star kids from Valdosta and Lowndes County who stayed four years and developed into men. Now these 23 prospects are being scouted like they are NFL veterans before they have even played a down of college football. The pressure on these kids must be enormous. I remember when a five-star rating meant you were Herschel Walker or Champ Bailey, a once in a generation talent. Now they hand those stars out like candy at a parade. NIL has turned these 23 prospects into free agents before they even sign a letter of intent. The new revenue sharing cap at 20.5 million is just going to make the bidding war more organized but no less disgusting. We used to win recruiting battles because a kid wanted to run through that hedges and hear the Chapel Bell ring after a win. Now it is about who can put together the best package of cash and promises. Kirby has done a good job navigating this mess but I miss the days when you earned your stars by what you did on Friday nights, not by how many Instagram followers you had. The 2027 class will be decided by which program has the best NIL collective, not which program develops the best men. That is just the reality of where we are now.

Four Bulldogs on the SEC All-Decade team and I just think about the 1980 defense that held three teams to single digits. Those boys played through broken bones and never complained. These modern kids wouldn't last a quarter in that era. Toughness is earned in August heat, not ...

You watch these spread offenses now and nobdy runs a true option anymore. I miss the 1980 Georgia teams with Herschel and the Wishbone, where you had to read the end and make a split-second decision. That was real football, not this RPO handoff nonsense where the QB just look...

You watch fall camp open and see these kids showing up with their NIL deals already signed and I just think back to the 1982 walk ons who had to prove it every single day in the Georgia heat just to earn a practice jersey. Coach Dooley would have laughed in your face if you as...

You walk into Sanford Stadium on a late summer afternoon and the heat hits you like a freight train. I remember the 1985 season when we had the same offensive line for four straight years and you could feel the grass and the humidity and the noise all at once. These kids today with their air-conditioned locker rooms and synthetic turf don't know what real football felt like.

You see Georgia sitting at No. 11 in the 2027 recruiting rankings with zero five-stars and I just think back to the 2002 SEC Championship team. That group had maybe two or three blue-chip guys total and they went to the Sugar Bowl and beat Florida State because they played together for three years under Coach Richt. These kids today look at a depth chart and transfer out before fall camp even starts. We landed Kaiden Prothro in the 2026 class and that was supposed to be the foundation but now we are watching Texas and Oregon stack five-stars like they are collecting baseball cards. I miss when recruiting was about finding the kid from Valdosta or Bainbridge who wanted to be a Bulldog since he was ten years old, not about who writes the biggest check. The poratl and NIL have turned this program into a rental car agency.

You scroll down Bill Connelly's SEC preview and see us projected behind Texas and Oklahoma in our own conference. Back in the 1992 season when we joined the East division we never had to worry about some school from the plains of Oklahoma coming into Athens and taking our spot...

Three portal losses in one week and I just think about the 1985 team that had the same offensive line for four straight years. These kids would have never survived Coach Dooley's summer workouts back then.

You see Oregon stacking five-stars and Texas throwing bags at every recruit in the country and I just think about the 2002 team that won the SEC with players who committed to Coach Richt because they trusted him, not because some collective wrote them a check. NIL has turned recruiting into a bidding war and I hate it. We used to build relationships with these kids and their families over years, now it is just who can put together the best pitch deck and the biggest number. The 2027 class rankings show us at No. 11 and I am supposed to panic because Oregon has five five-stars? I remember when we signed the No. 1 class in 2017 and those kids staeyd four years and won a national championship together. You cannot buy that kind of chemistry with NIL money. The portal and the collectives have turned college football into free agency and I do not care how many five-stars Oregon buys, they still have to play the games on the field. And we still have to figure out how to win in this system ...

You watch every coach in this league sell their soul to the portal and bring in 40 new players every winter and I just think about the 2002 team. Coach Richt took over after Jim Donnan and we had a roster full of Georgia kids who grew up wanting to be Bulldogs. David Pollack, Boss Bailey, Musa Smith, all of them stayed four years and developed into something special. We won the SEC in his second year because the foundation was already there, not because we went shopping in December. Now you got programs like Oklahoma State bringing in 50 transfers and Colorado bringing in 43 and they call it a rebuild. That is not a rebuild, that is a rental. Coach Richt would have looked at that and said you cannot build a program on borrowed players. Fall camp opens and I am grateful we still have a head coach who understands you win with the kids who bleed red and black, not the ones who show up for a paycheck and leave the second things get hard.

Remember walking into Jacksonville for the Cocktail Party in the 90s when it was still a real rivalry, not some made-for-TV event. You could feel the hatred in the air, players staying for four years and knowing what that game meant. Now these kids transfer out before they eve...

You scroll down the 2027 recruiting rankings and see us at No. 11 with zero five-stars. I remember when Coach Dooley would find a kid from a mill town who nobody else wanted and turn him into an All-SEC player. These rankings just measure who buys the best class, not who devel...

You scroll down that ESPN top 25 for the 2027 class and see us sitting at No. 11 with zero five-stars and I just have to shake my head. Not because I think the sky is falling, no, I remember the 1994 season when we brought in a class that nobody outside of Athens had ever heard of and turned those boys into the group that gave us that 1997 Outback Bowl win over Wisconsin. That was a team built on players who wanted to be Bulldogs, not on some ranking a recruiting analyst put together in June. The difference now is these kids are getting their heads turned by NIL before they even put on a practice jersey. You see Oregon with five five-stars in their 2026 class and Texas stacking Dia Bell and Richard Wesley and I wonder how many of those kids actually end up staying four years. Back when Coach Dooley was running things, you committed to Georgia and you understood what that meant. You were going to grind through August two-a-days on that old grass field and you were going to earn every single snap. Now a kid commits and six months later he is in the portal because somebody offered him a better deal. What I do see in this 2027 class that gives me hope is the type of player we are pulling. We have not chased the five-star flash. We are getting kids who fit the culture, kids who want to play between the hedges and not just cash a check. I think about the 2002 season when we finally broke through and won the SEC. That team did not have a roster full of five-stars. It had a bunch of juniors and seniors who had been in the system for three years and knew what it took to win in this league. That is what I miss. That is what this staff is trying to build again while everyone else is playing the portal game. I am not saying we do not need talent. You cannot win in this league without it. But I would rather be No. 11 with a class full of kids who want to be here than No. 1 with a group that is going to scatter the second something shinier comes along. Give me the kid who grew up watching us on Saturdays and who bleeds red and black over the mercenary who is just passing through. That is how you win championships the right way.

Just saw ESPN's list of the best player for every jersey number and I guarantee you they overlooked Richard Seymour at 93. That man anchored the 2002 defense like a bull in a china shop, never took a play off, hit everything that moved. You do not find that kind of grit anymor...

You watch all these RPOs and read-options today and I just think back to the 1980 season when Herschel ran the wishbone like a freight train. That triple option was poetry, none of this fancy spread stuff. Coach Dooley knew how to run the ball downhill.
