Richt is bringing a punter (Drew Butler), a fullback (Shaun Chapas), and A.J. Green.

Thanks for all the updates Joel

It's simple Cubs in the spring and summer, Vols in the fall and winter.

Q: Is the 2010 attitude like the 2007 attitude

A: We have fine leaders, but they were outnumbered. We’ve got a group of guys who are taking control of this team. have a chance to be really successful. Of course, everybody’s good, but I feel really good about this bunch.

Q: RBs

A: In good shape, King and Ealy had a great spring; they should get the majority of the carries. OL is mature; TEs are mature. Last year two sophs and two frosh. WRs will be better blockers this year; all of that will help. Doubling AJ will pull something from the run game.

Q: What does a coach have to do to survive for 10 years, aside from winning

A: Just go about my business a certain way. Rep GA w/ utmost integrity. Goal to help young men grow up. We’re educators. Value how to play but also to function in society. Relied heavily on God. I know I don’t have enough strength, rely heavily on the Lord and on our coaches. Every decision I’ve made, I’ve made for the long run.

Q: How is energy different this year?

A: Change defensively. Brand new scheme. Guys anxious about where they’re going to play. Starters have to prove they deserve it. Coaching staff, too.

Q: APR rates for coaches, your take?

A: It’s a good idea b/c ours is going to be very high. This year second only to Vandy. Exciting to me personally, I think it’s a good idea.

Q: philosophy

A: Can’t just say let it rip; have to manage players no matter how talented they are. Don’t have to make a spectacular play everytime he gets the ball. If the protection is there, go for it. If it’s not, make the most of it, but take a sack if necessary. He’s just got to live it out.

Q: AJ Green, what can he improve on

A: Go through the entire season healthy. Offseason can help. I think he’s done that. He’s been a good, not great, blocker. Running routes, catching, he’s great. He’s a good guy, too. Good work ethic.

Q: insulted by hot seat talk?

A: No, I understand the business. I don’t worry about it. I focus on the important things, the things I can control; attitude; effort. The things I can’t control, I just trust the Lord. Been operating that way since 1986.

Q: Damon Evans' departure impact?

A: Very good friendship w/ Damon Evans. Very saddened by what happens. Has it affected our preparation? No. Will I have input on decision for new AD? I don’t think I will. I’m not on the committee like I was last time due to the timing.

Q: Place an added emphasis on the SC game?

A: No, not really, but it’s always good to win and have some bragging rights when I go home.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Jul 22, 2010 11:38 AM EDT reply actions  

Q: Mentality of the team as a whole

A: It’s good for us and a younger QB to fly under the radar.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Jul 22, 2010 11:39 AM EDT reply actions  

Q: Rivalry with Julio Jones

A: No, I don’t know him that well. Know of him b/c of being in the same class and will probably be in the same class for the draft.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Jul 22, 2010 11:40 AM EDT reply actions  

Q: Insurance?

A: Yes. Have a tight circle of friends/advisors. Coach Richt, Mom.

Q: Rivalry with FL

A: We’re just going to take it game by game and go out and compete.

[I need a hotkey for that]
