I get asked a version of this question after every loss – and obviously there have been a lot of them, including nine in a row before Georgia finally beat Clemson on Wednesday night.

Some have asked whether Greg McGarity would make a move during the season. I seriously doubt that, at least as long as Georgia is still in the running for the SEC tournament, which this year qualifies 12 of the conference’s 14 teams. McGarity won’t pull the plug on the season as long as there’s still a chance, and despite the 0-6 start, the new tournament format gives the Bulldogs plenty of chance.

I haven’t personally spoken about it with McGarity lately, on or off the record, but in conversations with others around the building, there is a sense that the team will need an extremely strong finish, or there will have to be major changes before 2014...
