DC Search Update

LSU has came out and stated that they will be giving John Chavis a raise to keep him at LSU. This ends any speculation that John Chavis is still the leading candidate for the open DC position. Richt has also came out and said that his hopes of having a DC in place by January 3rd most likely will not happen but is going to try and have one in place before January 10th. When asked if Rodney Gardner is a candidate he stated that he was not and that Gardner is aware of this.

Interesting Fact

Here is an interesting statistic that I came across courtesy of Chris Low from ESPN. Georgia is the only team in the FBS to have at least 8 wins every season in the last 13 seasons. The Gators only had 7 wins in 2004 and they are the second closest team in the SEC. I think this is a pretty good record to own, not even Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Ohio State, Penn State or Boise State can claim this. All of the Bulldog nation needs to thank Mark Richt for the majority of these wins.

John Chavis

The new rumor circulating is that John Chavis, the DC for LSU, is the leading candidate for the open DC job at Georgia. I am not real sure how I feel about this. Yes, Chavis has been doing a good job at LSU this year and did a good job at Tennessee when he was there, but we will also be his third SEC team in three years. I still truly think that we can lure Kirby Smart back from Alabama once the National Championship is over.

Bud Foster

As much of the bulldogs nation knows there has been very little information leaked out of Athens in regards to the search for Georgia's new DC. ESPN reported today that the Bulldogs have been in contact with Bud Foster.
Bud Foster is the defensive coordinator for Virginia Tech. Foster has done an outstanding job there with his defenses. They have been ranked in the top 10 in total defense in 8 of the past 10 years.
I do not feel that Georgia has a real shot at him. Foster has been a sought after coordinator for the past 8 years and has never shown even a slight interest in leaving Virginia Tech.

Florida Players Leaving maybe

The have been rumors that alot of Florida players are going to be declaring for the draft. Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes of course are seniors and will be gone no matter what. DE Carlos Dunlap and CB Joe Haden are expected to be leaving. Aaron Hernandez there ALL SEC TE is a serious possiblilty. Bruce Black the father of S Ahamd Black has been stating that his son will be leaving with the three other players who joined the Gators all from the same High School. These players are RB Chris Rainey and OL Mike and Maurkice Pouncey. If this is all true this is music to my ears.

Fighting Irish

Notre Dame has hired Brian Kelly, the head coach at Cincinnati, as there next head coach. It is not yet confirmed if Kelly will coach Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl. Let's see how many seasons he lasts. Personally I think Notre Dame needs to lower there expectations they have not been a powerhouse in over 10 years.
