Sadly, I see a similar fate for Mark Richt. The management style is the same. A pleading give me “time” and everything will be ok kind of eventual fail. Vision quest is overrated.

Tony Robbins inspiration is late night “four easy payments of whatever” bullshit. Yoda’s “do or do not, there is no try” is free and runs circles around the prevelent coaching/empowerment hyperbole.

Nick Saban knows how to “cleanse” , Nick Saban knows how to express expectations before the season. Nick Saban knows how to win. Nick is a 4M prick. He is a management genius.

Mark Richt is a nice guy. Eventually, his endearment to friendship and family ties will be his downfall. Welcome to life.

Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Mike Gundy would be absolutely insulted had they seen that clip of Greggers, as it would mean that they and Gerg once shared the same profession.
NDGT,
At least Bill Stewart loves his school and would never leave it for a “sexier” job. That should count for something. Besides, 6-6 sure beats 3-9.

Johnny – I hope that was a joke. Bill Stewart is a dim-whit hick who is going to “awe shucks” WVU into perinneal 6-6 team. If you haven’t noticed, we went from BCS bowl games in 3 out of 4 years to, what looks like, the fucking Menieke Car bowl in Charlotte, playing a middle of the pack ACC team. Sweet…

The sad part is, next season may make this cluster-fuck of a season look like a resounding sucess.

I’m only getting the clip as well. Did the other stuff get taken down or is something strange going on and some of us are not seeing all of what is there?

I was pretty disappointed in a 1 item Curious Index. Then I watched the video. My mind is so full of wisdom right now that I’m not sure I could have digested more.

You go on thinking you can, Gerg. You go on thinking that…

Why am I only getting one part of the Curiosity Index on my page?

Granted – it is Gerg…but I want the rest!

I think Greg should have used String Theory to explain himself. The Little Engine is far too complex an analogy.

I could totally running into that wall and crumple into the fetal position and bleed right now.

Ah shit. Tubbs & Co. are out at Auburn. Mississippi State has started rejoicing.

Mike Hamilton passed over this smooth playa for Lane Kiffin? Dumbass.

You know what? He just said that, and he really meant it, too. All of a sudden I don’t feel so bad about Bill Stewart being the coach of my school.

I’m stunned, simply stunned. Whoever edited that clip and decided to feature that portion should win an award. They knew they had found the exact clip to sum up Gerg’s tenure. Well done behind the scenes clip editing dude, well done.

So he reads this to his players and then says, ‘Now go out there and hit someone in the fucking mouth!’ WTF? Sounds like he would make an excellent Pre-K teacher.

Ah yes – the fabled “Return to Greatness.”

Or is it the inspiring “Wake the Echoes”

There are so many catchphrases to propel a program to the top that I get them confused.

I hope SU AD Daryl Gross asks potential head coaches what their favorite books are. Anyone who doesn’t say “Harold and the Purple Crayon” should immediately be taken off the list of candidates.
