Kirby Smart’s PROVEN Championship Blueprint

 

 

 

 

Hey Dawg Nation! Randy here, and in this blog post of the HBTFDAWGSCAST I break down Kirby Smart’s recipe for building a championship-caliber Georgia Bulldogs team. This ain’t your grandpappy’s football; it’s a system built on grit, leadership, and a whole lotta Dawg.

This week’s episode dives deep into the secrets of UGA’s success, and here’s the lowdown:

  • Culture is King:  It all starts with the players. Kirby’s built a culture of brotherhood, accountability, and fierce competition. This isn’t just about talent; it’s about players leading the way.
  • Recruiting Prowess:  We ain’t just talking about getting the best recruits, we’re talking about getting the right recruits – players who fit the culture and want to be Dawgs.
  • Standards, Not Goals:  Kirby focuses on setting high standards, not just aiming for arbitrary goals. This breeds consistency and excellence.
  • Development is Key:  It’s not enough to recruit great talent; you gotta develop it. Kirby and his coaching staff are masters of player development, pushing each Dawg to reach their full potential.
  • Coaches Lead the Way:  The coaching staff isn’t just there to instruct; they’re leaders, fostering a strong brotherhood and pushing the players to be their best.
  • The Georgia Difference:  There’s something special about Georgia football. It’s a legacy, a tradition, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. It’s the Dawg Nation!

This episode covers all this and more, including a look at how the Georgia program gets players ready for the NFL and what makes Georgia different. So settle in, grab your favorite beverage, and let’s explore the beating heart of Georgia Bulldog Football! Go Dawgs!

The DISRESPECT for Georgia Football is CRAZY

 

 

 

 

The DISRESPECT for Georgia Football is CRAZY! Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs are the preseason, odds-on favorites to win the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2024, but it is Ohio State, Oregon, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Texas that are the sexy picks everyone seems to be talking about during the aphelion of the college football offseason. I talk about a few reasons why that is in this episode.

cover 3 podcast – College football experts pick Georgia to win the National Championship

“Is it a 4-peat if Georgia wins next year?”  – Bud Elliott

Chip Patterson: Who would be your title pick next season Bud?

Bud Elliott: Georgia. They return the best QB of all of the…what we would consider the immediate contenders. From the chatter it sounds like Dumas Johnson was gonna get Wally Pipped. He got dinged up and it was like “Oh! CJ Allen is a future ten year pro.” Wilson is coming along. It seemed like Georgia got the right guys to not declare. They have the QB coming back, so I would pick Georgia.

Tom Fornelli: I would also pick Georgia. And then the question is if Michigan’s title gets vacated is it a three peat for Georgia.

Bud Elliott: Is it a 4-peat if Georgia wins next year?
Georgia’s schedule is certainly tough as the chat is pointing out. But you have to consider things differently in this new era.

Chip Patterson: 12 team expansion

(They discussed other possible teams)

Ohio State- Dog backed into the corner mentality. “Desperation Day………..Part III”

Texas- If Arch lives up to being Arch Manning (Isn’t Ewers back? Weird comment unless he changed his mind.)

Michigan- Got enough coming back to make a run. Perhaps even more run heavy. Defense is gonna be great.

Arizona- 18 starters back and easy conference

Oregon- Have to put them up there. Roster is rapidly improving. Dylan Gabriel is a vet.

Penn State- Chip doesn’t like. Tom doesn’t like. Conference is tougher. May make the playoffs, but no real chance.

Alabama- Milroe may not be likely to improve, but certainly a possiblility he does.

Bud: I like that there are so many teams we can’t rule out. If Georgia plays so well it’s a foregone conclusion, you still have to go win three tough games in a row.

Washington- losing too much off the roster. Not in the playoff.

If Harbaugh goes NFL would Kalen D. pull a Kevin Durant?

Alabama Fans Are OBSESSED with the Georgia Bulldogs

 

 

 

 

Alabama Fans Are OBSESSED with the Georgia Bulldogs! My recent interactions lead me to believe that the majority of Alabama Football fans are suffering from a massive inferiority complex and are wrestling with a severe identity crisis. I can see no other reason they would be so drawn to the Georgia Bulldogs and the content about Kirby Smart and his program. I suppose it’s because now that Nick Saban is gone they know things will never be the same and coping with this new reality is not going to be easy.

2023 Georgia Bulldogs Defensive Line:  A Force to be Reckoned With

 

The 2023 Georgia Bulldogs have assembled a defensive line that embodies strength, skill, and raw talent. Under the guidance of Coach Tray Scott, and with the strategic oversight of defensive coordinators Glenn Schumann and Will Muschamp, this group of Nazir Stackhouse, Zion Logue, Tramel Walthour, Warren Brinson, Mykel Williams, Jordan Hall, Jamaal Jarrett, Tyrion Ingraham-Dawkins and others promises to dominate the field for the Dawgs.

Nazir Stackhouse:
A force to be reckoned with, Stackhouse brings an unparalleled level of power and intensity to the defensive line. His agility and ability to penetrate the offensive line make him a formidable presence on the field. Stackhouse’s explosiveness and relentless pursuit of the ball carrier make him a key asset in disrupting opposing offenses.

Zion Logue:
Logue’s versatility is key, possessing both the size and athleticism to excel in various defensive schemes. Logue’s ability to create pressure and collapse the pocket often leaves quarterbacks scrambling for a way out. His quickness off the snap and solid tackling technique make him a consistent threat to opposing offenses.

Tramel Walthour:
Walthour’s exceptional strength and technique make him a valuable asset to the Bulldogs’ defensive line. His ability to control the line of scrimmage and shed blockers allows him to disrupt running plays effectively. Walthour’s dedication to his craft and relentless work ethic make him a player to watch in the coming season.

Warren Brinson:
Brinson’s intelligence and football IQ contribute greatly to the Bulldogs’ defensive line success. Brinson’s ability to read plays and quickly react allows him to make impactful tackles and disrupt offensive game plans. With his natural instincts and physicality, Brinson consistently demonstrates his potential to be a dominant force in the trenches.

Mykel Williams:
Williams showcases an impressive combination of size, speed, and agility. His ability to generate pressure from the edge and disrupt passing plays is a testament to his exceptional athleticism. Williams’ versatility and strong work ethic make him a valuable asset to the Bulldogs’ defensive line.

Jordan Hall:
Hall’s tenacity and relentless pursuit of the ball make him a standout player on the Bulldogs’ defensive line. His ability to quickly diagnose plays is a testament to his football IQ, while his energy and athleticism will allow him to contribute to the overall success of the unit this fall.

Jamaal Jarrett:
Jarrett’s explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is a sight to behold. A space-eater in the middle, his ability to create chaos in the backfield disrupts opposing offenses and forces quarterbacks into making hasty decisions. Jarrett’s natural athleticism and determination make him a critical component of the Bulldogs’ defensive line.

Tyrion Ingraham-Dawkins:
Ingraham-Dawkins displays incredible strength and power, and he is poised to step forward and be a dominant force on the defensive line. His ability to shed blockers and collapse the pocket is a testament to his raw talent. Ingraham-Dawkins’ physicality and relentless pursuit of the ball carrier will keep him on the field.

The 2023 Georgia Bulldogs defensive line is a force to be reckoned with and the 2023 edition should continue the level of excellence, especially against the run, that the unit has displayed in recent seasons.

 Who can beat the Georgia Bulldogs? That’s the question as we look ahead to the 2023 regular season schedule. How about ’em? Kirby? I told ’em “How ’bout them f*cking Dawgs!” That’s what I told ’em. The Georgia Bulldogs have won back-to-back national championships and have come 30 and won over the last two seasons in the process, including a perfect 15 and 0 season last year.

Now, of course, Georgia’s gonna lose a game at some point, but is that gonna be in 2023? , when you bring up the dog’s 2023 schedule, everybody’s gonna point to how easy it. On paper, but they’re always gonna conveniently leave out the fact that the Dawgs have aggressively scheduled non-conference opponents over the last few years.

And this season they had the Oklahoma Sooners on the road, no less scheduled for game two with Oklahoma and Texas coming into the league in 2024. The SEC told Georgia that they couldn’t play Oklahoma. . As a result, the 2023 season schedule shakes out like this on September 2nd. The Dawgs play UT Martin at home.

Then on September nine, they have Ball State. That’s the replacement game for the Oklahoma Sooners Road game that got kicked out by the SEC. The next week we get into League play on September 16th against the South Carolina Gamecocks. This is a game that people usually point to as one where Georgia could possibly trip up early in the year .

I know Spencer Rattler is coming back for the Gamecocks, and that was a big deal. Shane Beamer has that program moving in the right direction, but I don’t think they’re ready to compete with the Dawgs in Athens just yet. The next week, the Dawgs get UAB at home to close out the opening month of the season, which saw them have four home games.

Now that’s advantageous for the Dawgs because they are replacing their offensive coordinator with Mike Bobo and they’re gonna be breaking in a new quarterback, getting to do those things at home between the hedges, well, that has to be an advantage. In week five, the Dawgs go on the road for the first time to the plains to take on the Auburn Tigers in a continuation of the deep South’s oldest rivalry.

Now, this game can be a little tricky, but I don’t think even with a new head coach and new offensive coordinator, that the Tigers are gonna have things figured out just yet, and Georgia should be able to get that win on the road. Just know it could be a little dicey. As we move into October, the Dawgs continue league play welcoming in the Kentucky Wildcats between the hedges in Athens.

I just don’t think that Mark Stoops can bring his Wildcats between the hedges and get that victory, six games in and halfway through the season. We’ve already pointed out a couple of places that could prove to be a little tricky for the Bulldogs in the 2023 regular season schedule, the home game against South Carolina and then the road game against the Auburn Tigers.

As we make our way through October, the Dawgs continually play taking on Vanderbilt on the 14th, and then they’ll close out the month after a bye week with the annual game in Jacksonville against the Gators. Now this game against Florida, you just never know what’s gonna happen. Florida appears to be a mess, but I’ve seen too many things go down in Jacksonville that I just can’t explain, so I’m never gonna count this game as a victory for the Dawgs until all zeroes are on the.

Thank you for being here. If you enjoy the kind of content we’re producing, please take a second and hit that thumbs up button. It really helps us get the video out to other dog fans just like you. As the calendar returns to November, we start to play the games that people will remember, the ones that will define the season and November in 2023 will be no different for the Dawgs.

They open the month on the fourth against Missouri. The Dawgs struggled on the road last year in Colombia before finally pulling out the win, but I don’t think Missouri’s gonna have the horses to get the job done in Athens this year. The next week, the Dawgs welcome in the Ole Miss Rebels. This is one game that could be a little tricky for the Dawgs because we don’t know exactly what Ole Miss is gonna be.

They’re gonna have a new quarterback, most likely. They definitely have a new defensive coordinator and they’ve brought in a bunch of transfers from the portal yet again. How Lane Kiffin stirs the pot down there in Mississippi and gets this team to gel is gonna determine what kind of challenge this is gonna be for Georgia here in November.

We’re just gonna have to wait and see. One thing’s for sure, though Mississippi should be talented enough to be on the Dawg’s radar as a possible threat. Next up comes the game that most people are gonna point to as the biggest threat to the Bulldogs pulling off another undefeated regular season. They have to go on the road to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville.

Coming off great season in 2022, Tennessee is gonna have to replace some of the players that made that season so great as they head into 2023. Georgia has won six straight in the series, and they’re gonna look to continue that dominance on the road in Knoxville. To wrap up the season, the dogs head down to Atlanta to take on the Jackets in another bout of clean, old-fashioned hate.

The Dawgs should take care of business here and they could very well be playing for another 12 – 0 season when they get to Atlanta. So there you have it. A look at the 2023 regular season schedule for the Dawgs. Do you think they’re gonna go undefeated again? Be sure to drop me a comment below and let me know.

Let ’em know. Kirby, we will not be hunted at the University of Georgia. I can promise you that.
