Every time I read a post about Coach Richt being on the "Hot Seat", I just have to laugh it off. His record and character speaks all I need to know.
Now the topic is definitely on my mind when it comes to UGA's baseball coach, David Perno. I am beginning to think that even a down year shouldn't be this bad. I read a post a while back that shows this may go down as the worse season in the school's history. I questioned the hire when it was made, even though I like Perno as a coach. He was there as pitching coach when I walked onto the team in 1998, and I remember thinking at the time that he would be a better coach than Sapp. Then he got the job after we were left high and dry by Polk.
3 trips to the World Series and two SEC rings since 2002 does speak a lot, so I am sort of on the fence. But, I do definitely think he should be considered on the hot seat. What are your thoughts?

Maybe just a new pitching coach? I have no clue how we recruit top talent and not develop them on the mound.
ReplyDeleteCoaching baseball in college is a strange beast the way talent leaves so often, but something's definitely got to give. This year's results are NOT acceptable to any Dawg fan.
ReplyDeleteI do not know. Maybe if he loses to Fla 7 out of 9 games.
ReplyDeleteAgainst SEC East teams, is Coach Perno without a winning record over say the last 4 years, as is Coach Richt ?
ReplyDeleteOver a 4-year stretch, has Coach Perno fumbled 21 times per year on the average 4 years in a row, has he failed to prepare a QB in 2006, 2009 and now again in 2010, has he had his Quarterbacks throw 14 interceptions a year every year 4 years in a row as has Coach Richt, has Coach Perno had 39 Arrested / Suspended in just the last 3 years off the field according to David Hale of macon.com as has Coach Richt, has Coach Perno averaged # 96 NCAA in Penalties every year for the last 4 years as has Coach Richt on the field, has Coach Perno Graduated his Baseball Players at a rate 9th in The SEC as has Coach Richt in Football, has Coach Perno gone 1-3 the last 4 years to both Florida and 1-3 to the vols the last 4 years, 2-2 to Kentucky the last 4 years and lost for good measure to both South Carolina and Vandie the last 4 years as has Coach Richt at just 10-10 vs SEC East alone the last 4 years, has Coach Perno played 11 games vs Top 25 Final AP Poll teams and lost 8 as has Coach Richt, was the last time UGA was relevant even in our own Division of our own Conference let alone on the National Stage 2005 ?
This is 2010. In 14-game seasons now, we average 10 wins 3 losses 90-27 with not 1 win over a Top 10 Final AP Poll team in any bowl game the entire Coach Richt Era.

I believe if Coach Perno in Baseball at UGA compiled such a list, especially the last 4 years, but in the entirety of the Coach Richt Era as has Coach Richt with such a sorry baseball coaching staff as has Coach Richt in Football with a seriously sorry Coaching Staff in Football the entire 9 Years of the Coach Richt Era, that yes David Perno would be on the hot seat, as is Coach Richt.
We go to South Carolina at night with 2 freshmen Quarterbacks and that is it except for a 4th Year Player who has amassed now a grand total of 2 interceptions, 5 completions, and none 0 touchdown passes; and, if we lose that game we have a LOSING RECORD to The SEC East the last 5 years.
Did David Perno Redshirt Knowshon Moreno so we only got to see him only 2 years ?
Did David Perno rip the Redshirt off the # 11 best running back recruit in the nation last year, in the 3rd quarter of the 5th game, only to watch him lead the team in Rushing anyway, only to give him but only 2 Starts and they not even the last 2 games ?
Did David Perno make the Quarterbacks’ Coach at Jacksonville State, for 1 years, the Offensive Coordinator at UGA ? Did David Perno make a Quarterback, the Tight Ends coach at UGA ? Did David Perno make a great running back into our Wide Receivers’ Coach ? Did David Perno make a former wide receiver at UGA our Running Backs’ Coach ? Did David Perno say in the newspapers 2 weeks ago, that he is taking over the entire Offensive Coaching, demoting all these coaches on his coaching staff still ?
Did our Wide Receivers’ Coach get credit for teaching AJ Green, but could only throw 2 footballs all season long to Marlon Brown and for good measure only 2 passes too to Branden Smith all season long last year ?
Did our Tight Ends Coach not make Orson Charles the Starter last year until game 12 of our 13-game season, in 14-game seasons nowadays ?
Did our Running Backs’ Coach fail to establish the run against any half-way reasonable run defense last year ?
Have we lost 10 of the last 20 SEC East Games in Baseball, as we have in football the last 4 years and half of those losses 5 of them to SEC East teams not even ranked in the Top 25 of the Final AP Poll.
I know Coach Richt feels the pressure on the South Carolina Game.
The last comment that Coach Richt wants to hear after the South Carolina Game, is that over the last 5 years he has a LOSING RECORD to SEC East teams.
When you cannot get out of your own division of your own conference since 2005, let alone beat a Top 10 Final AP Poll team in any bowl game all 9 years of the Coach Richt Era with 95 Arrested / Suspended in the 9 Years, with a 2-7 record against Florida and having never beat both the vols and Florida any of the 9 years, then yes if David Perno has such a record in fact, then yes he too would be on the hot seat.
Wouldn’t he ?
Anon, I guess my answer to "most" of your questions is...NO because Perno coaches baseball, not football.
