I had a pretty strong feeling that if I watched Texas-ISU it was just going to bum me out, and after the first few minutes I felt more sure so I went and did something else and I'm thinking that was the right call.

Anyway I'm pretty sure Tom Herman's on the hot seat next year. I guess 8 wins including a bowl game is still realistically on the table, in which case the seat is just kinda hot, but if we finish with 6 or 7 wins it's going to be blazing.

What exactly is the problem? It’s weird that he hasn’t been able to make the offense work a bit better. Especially since he was sooooo good at Houston and Ohio State as OC. Texas isn’t exactly lacking in resources or recruiting.

Besides being a lip-kissing narcissist, has he just made bad hires?

Won't fire his bud at OC who the game has caught up to and passed by. DC is looking the same way this year. Injuries aside, they look undisciplined and unable to tackle.

Next year really is his make or break year. They should be a mature team that should be good, but won't be if he keeps his coordinators.

So bizarre to me that presumably smart, successful coaches will mortgage their loving careers on their lovely, dumb coordinator friends.

Play-calling has been shockingly pedestrian for a team with a very good WR corps and a QB who can run over LBs. It seems like 50% of our plays are this run option with trip WRs where Ehlinger will either handoff to the RB or throw to one of the WRs who is getting blocking from the other 2. Neither of these works because everyone knows they're coming. I'm shocked one of these WR screens hasn't been pick-sixed this season. Also we've got the designed-QB run, which is good for like 9 yards every time but we can't make Ehlinger do that on every play.

I think they still don't trust Ehlinger to pass over the middle. He pretty much throws only screens, dump-offs, and sideline passes. Maybe he doesn't trust himself to hit a tight window even though his WRs are good bets to win jump balls.

Basically all our offensive success is from player talent transcending the game plan. WRs make crazy sideline grabs through tight coverage, RBs break tackles on nearly every run, Ehlinger bails out drives with his tree trunk legs.

Sounds like late-stage Meyer offenses, or Mullen going into a shell in tight games.

At his presser, they asked Kirby what the first thing he said to his team was post win, and he said something to the effect of "I told them how bout them fuckin' dawgs" and I thought it owned that he was just blunt about it.


Then he turned around today and was like sorry im the head of this organization blah blah blah. Own it man, don't be a wuss and step it back.

Yeah that’s dumb. His first statement owns and I wish coaches would just act like humans sometimes and tell the morality brigade to gently caress themselves with a short piece of rusty rebar.

It's weird to me that they can't afford it anyway but who the hell was South Carolina competing with for the services of Will loving Muschamp that made them think they needed to give him a $19 million buyout

The buyouts thrown around whenever a coach wins more than 7 games are insane. But there’s no money for players.

Mediocre offenses have won titles. 2002 Ohio State. 2006 Florida. It isn’t unprecedented by any means.

But yeah Coley is poo poo and I’m grateful he is there squandering so much of your offensive talent.

2002 is a really long time ago, when the spread was still mostly a novelty. There's a reason teams like OSU or Bama aren't still trying to play like that. The game has changed dramatically since then.

2006 Florida was 11th in offensive S&P+. Georgia is 22nd. That's inexcusable for a team that has top 2-3 talent.

Uh, sure? I mean we are agreeing that their offense is inexcusable with their talent level.

And yeah 02 was a long time ago but most title teams had pretty great offenses in that era as well. My point is that you can win with a merely efficient if unexplosive offense and some luck. See also: 98 Tennessee.

I don’t think UGA is particularly efficient but stranger things have happened.
