quote:Georgia - Yeah, Kirby probably drop 5 games again without taking some heat. Not with that fanbase. 8-4 might placate though 2/5 Depends. If the offense sucks again, he better be prepared to toss Jim Chaney out of Athens. (reminds self what Jim Chaney looks like) Or use a forklift. IMO, the only good reason why Chaney was kept around after last season is continuity; 4 OCs in 4 years is no bueno. I miss Bobo.

KKKLIP ART posted:I know that is the general concensus, but I am one of those that never understood the vitriol that he got considering that the last 3-4 years he was OC UGA was setting school records in points per game, yards per play, and pretty much every other offensive stat. Putting up points was never UGA's problem during the Bobo era, it was Grantham on defense and players getting arrested. You can look at the offensive fall-out that Schotty and Cheney have gotten us. Maybe a lot was on Richt for not getting a good O-line together so we are working with what we have on hand, but I think Bobo called a good game. Actual anti-Bobo arguments on DawgSports, 2013-2014: - Georgia scores too quickly, not fair to Grantham's defense - A touchdown Aaron Murray threw against North Texas in '13 was on a badly drawn up play, therefore Murray/Bobo are useless (this went on for an entire week before Bobo's offense put up 44 friggin points on LSU) - '14 Georgia was up 38-6 on Arkansas, relaxed a little, only won by two scores, therefore Bobo is a moral coward - Georgia came back from 20 down to Auburn in '13 to take the lead without the services of WR1, WR2, WR4, RB2, and with the RB1 at about 60%, lost because Grantham's idiots couldn't bat down a ball, but that was Bobo's fault because BECAUSE DAMMIT - '14 Georgia pasted a very good Clemson team, but was only tied at halftime and Gurley didn't have a lot of touches, fire Bobo - He has a lot of kids, therefore doesn't care about his job And on and on. Dude's offense was putting up school records and we were nitpicking down to the atomic level. I like that there was a (now-defunct, wonder why) anti-Bobo blog that was praising Schotty early in 2015 because "now we got a REAL OC." Yeah, how'd that work out.

Butts- retired to focus on being AD (he was both for decades) Griffith- fired Dooley- retired to focus on being AD (he was both for decades) Goff- fired Donnan- fired Richt- fired, mas o menos Everyone before that was the era where you'd have a different coach every other year except the ones that now have buildings named after 'em.

Thermos H Christ posted:I'm not defending the Sharkfucker, or even attempting to judge whether Florida is making the right move by firing him. I'm just saying that the narrative of Texas being too quick to pull the rug out from under Charlie Strong seems extra dumb in light of how coaches with objectively much better results are treated elsewhere. Didn't Strong losing to honkin' Kansas put the kibosh on that? (There is the secondary issue of whether or not Strong got institutional support when he was there, but that's another argument.)

vikingstrike posted:If we're being honest, UGA's offense is so unbalanced right now I'm not sure how much more running the dang ball you could do. They were talking like 40% of UGA's yards are from passing and their hasn't been a national title winner since Nebraska in the mid-90s to have a ratio that skewed and still win. Alabama came close a couple of years but lost the title game in each year they were. I mean, gently caress, Fromm passed 7 times in the Florida game. UGA Complaints About The Offensive Coordinator® have now shifted from RUN THE GAWD DANG BALL BOBO to WE SHOULD BE DOING SCREENS CHANEY. I thought UGA's offense was such an aesthetic abortion last season that I would've been fine if Chaney got the boot after year 1 except for the fact that it would've meant 4 OCs in 4 years in Athens. And really, he was just running what Kirby had tasked him to do; it was Kirby's fault philosophically that we were trying to shove square pegs into round holes. This year has been better because the OL is better and the skill guys are healthy/better and the QB makes better decisions (sorry Jacob). UGA at least has the horses to ground bad teams into dust, which they simply couldn't do last season cough Nicholls State cough. But they're not quite there yet, as evidenced by EVERYTHING in the Auburn game. I see no reason to move on from Chaney at this point though dammit I miss flangin' the ball around

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Tennessee_Volunteers_football_team Up and down, mediocre season, but they had a respectable loss to #1 Florida, another respectable loss to #1 Alabama (you can't just say that "if it weren't for Terrence Cody," because Bama kinda let the Vols back in the game themselves), and blasted da fuk out of Georgia and South Carolina in Knoxville. Recruiting was good. I remember thinking that Kiffin was going to be a pain to deal with for the foreseeable future and then d'oh

Chip would have to show some nuts-and-bolts give-a-poo poo for him to really work out at Florida. - Would he invest more energy into crootin? You'd think UF would sell itself, but McElwain's classes sucked. - Would he invest more energy into updating his scheme? His Xs and Os were solvable shrugs toward the end there in SF. - Would he invest more mental energy/delegate better w/r/t talent evaluation? Because the choices he made in Philly were baaaaad. I think he'd be a fine enough hire and Florida would contend for East titles with him, but I dunno about more than that.

One thing that's not said enough by the national hacks is that Schiano's renaissance at Rutgers was over 10 loving years ago. If there were any UT coaching search to be involved with, it should've been their one in 2008. They're acting like this guy just made Rutgers a Top 25 team. Since then: NFL flame-out, coaching a prep school, assistant for Urban. If I'm UT, I'm going for a hungry up-and-comer. That ain't Schiano. #hirebobo

But there are three things that are true about Grantham: 1) He blitzes like a 65-year-old Internet conservative uses caps lock. 2) He will never exactly get the best out of your talent and needs a shitload of NFL caliber players to have a great defense. 3) His scheme is overly complicated and if you're relying on underclassmen, you're boned. and 3.5) Once this happens, he will throw everyone else under the bus. Good luck, Florida!

Ehud posted:we are currently giving up like 40 points per game UGA's defense was garbage in 2009. Grantham took over, made it better bit by bit, made it near great with some notable fuckups, then once those guys went and made money, the bottom fell out when he was unable to teach the young guys how to tackle. Then he left in a huff. Then, it should be noted, Jeremy Pruitt took over and immediately the defense was awesome even with some holes.

How did Hoke get to be interim anyway? Dude flames out at Michigan, his last notable act playing a QB whose brains were severely scrambled. Then he goes to coach defense at Oregon and they give up about 70 a game. That's clearly a guy who should be shuffled off to coaching some random prep school at this point, right?
