It might not be the popular opinion, but this might be an SEC learning curve for the coaches. At CM and cincy, you don't have to worry much about guys feeling like they need all star treatment. Maybe a little, but they know they're at a 2nd rate program. In the SEC, you have to deal with guys who feel like they are an NFL lock as soon as they graduate high school.
There has to be a fine line between the "workmen like" mentality Butch talks about and working with some divas.
You can't let the prisoners run the jail (uga) because they will never have the discipline to pull through in the big games, but you can't be so hard nosed that the prime time ego that comes with prime time talent won't play for you.
