A bad choice.
A very dickish assholish choice.
I know we're supposed to read the GT boards' response to this as "coping," but I think we can take it at face value; he wasn't quite ready to be a DC yet.
I'm not saying you're incorrect but there is another equally reasonable explanation. Will already stepped away from coaching for family time at Georgia. There is a possibility Will is legitimately interested in a smidgen better work life balance and having Blake here with him, someone he knows and trust already helps. In that same line of thought, could be a succession plan in an ideal world. Muschamp goes back to HC elsewhere/retires for family and Blake steps in.
I know fuck all, but this seems as reasonable an explanation for why Blake would come and why Will would want it. Doesn't exclude your reasons from being true either.
Also, it's not impossible it was a big pay upgrade to come home.

Just now, 'stache said: I think it's fair to include any G5 team that ends the season ranked in the top 24. I just wouldn't guarantee a spot and, unless they finish top 8, they always have to earn their way past the playin round.
Well rankings are part ot the problem and they do not belong for any reason.

3 hours ago, 'stache said: I was having this discussion yesterday, it’s gotten so annoying. Also overreactions to every result and extrapolating it to certainties. What’s really being exposed is the absurdity of realignment, mega conference scheduling, and having to make decisions based on subjectivity and speculation. Aggy and Ole Miss had weak SEC schedules, one flailed out immediately the other is in the semis. Miami didn’t even play for their conference title because of a five way tie atop the ACC and is in the semis while also putting to bed any argument that they didn’t deserve the spot. The Big 12 got one team in which is probably right and isn’t the first CFP shut out, the other two were in the 4 team setup with much larger margins of victory, not to mention that ASU played well just last year. Now we have the bye teams losing (except IU). It all supports my plan to do away with CCGs and have a playin round the first week of December of the 9-24 ranked teams, then a 16 team playoff with games weekly instead of huge time gaps between rounds. I agree with Lanning that the NFL should give December Saturdays back to CFB.
Klatt suggested something similar. What I do know is 2 things absolutely must change. First the P4 must separate from the G5. Second, this subjective ass committee bullshit, comprised of folks with a LOT of bias and motives is absolutely fucking regarded.

Fuck them, forever, if they do that to the players.
Ya know, I was pretty agnostic on the Kiffen hate. More, don't hate the player hate the game sorta deal. Yeah he was a Dbag but... kind of a redundant reality with Football HCs.
Now... I think he might be my modern day Spurrier. I need a coach to hate and sure Kirby is a prick but he doesn't hit some of the arrogance quota to match with Spurrier the way Kiffen is recently.

1 hour ago, Thatguy said: It was different
. They both had 12 interceptions but about 8 of Quinn's were batted balls at the line of scrimmage like below. Rarely was he just throwing it to the other team. I don't know what was going on with the right side of our line but pretty much all the deflections and busted protections came from them. Maybe getting too much depth? I don't know. What I do know is Quinn was always a low interception guy, having 6 his first and second year. Then Cam Williams started after Jones left and all the sudden we are getting batted balls every other game from his side of the line. 47:00 mark
Also, our resident PFF guys keep telling me that our line was great at pass pro but cut to the 32:15 Mark and just watch Cam Williams. This was a regular occurrence with that dude just like the Ohio State game. Sure we piled up great pass pro stats vs the nobodies but then this would happen vs the good teams. Between that and batted balls I am so glad that dude is gone.
IF Quinn is NOT compensating you for PR efforts you need to send him a sternly worded letter.

1 hour ago, Thatguy said: I did respond to you. Probably because I find you to be the most reasonable, logical, and approachable of the ones I saw doing it. I would surely not approach the one that shall not be named. Lol.
You really shouldn't be sharing these thoughts about me publicly. It's really going to diminish your respect on this board from others.

30 minutes ago, Hook1997 said: No one is shitting on Arch at this point or much at all since he turned the corner. You can’t just ignore the fact that he was pretty terrible at the throwing part of being a quarterback at the start of the season. Game planning is tough when your quarterback is throwing errant passes left and right. Also dumb ass shit off-season crap to argue about at this point.
Yo, it's Surly and it's the off season. Arguing dumb shit in the margins is what we do here, you know this man!
We're both happy now, and Arch curb stomped the winningest program in college football in a well watched bowl game. That's good for portal needs, recruiting and our souls, so in a rare moment of kumbaya let's hold hands and be friends.

10 minutes ago, Hook1997 said: The first part might end up being correct but let’s not totally change the story on the second part. It definitely played a part but he had the yips and something going on in his head, he was throwing seven yard quick passes at receivers feet or two yards over their heads. He got past that and I fully expect a great season for him next year if we get the right offensive parts around him.
You've been consistently shitting on Arch every chance you get since OSU. There is no opportunity for meaningful engagement as you refuse to acknowledge some realities about our team and coach. The OL was beyond bad to start the season and Sark created a game plan that made those issues notably worse for a 1st year starting QB. Yes, Arch was the player making the mistakes but his HC, OC, OL coach, OL, WRs and RBs did everything possible to make it as bad as possible.

Just now, Thatguy said: Bro, that wasn't just directed at you. I've been seeing a lot of that and it's a little irresponsible considering I think VY is the greatest college QB to ever lace them up. That dude was superman out there. Closest comparison to that was Vick almost willing VTech past Florida State.
Well bro, you responded to me so...
I do get your bigger point though. There is VY then... well... I don't know of any other QB who went full, I'm doing this, you can't stop me.

11 minutes ago, Thatguy said: Yall need to chill with the VY comparisons. Lol
I said it was a feeling similar to his time here. I did NOT say he was VY. I think it perfectly reasonable to acknowledge that for the first time in 20 fucking years I had absolute and complete confidence in a QB to win a game. Yes, sometime I felt it with Colt, hell even some with James Brown. However, that feeling of confidence has been missing for 2 decades. I'm not saying he is VY, but it's nice to actually feel that level of confidence. So to sooth your concerns let me help. Unlike VY who I knew would overcome the issues of MB and GDGD. I said so to a friend post game after beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, I do NOT believe Arch can overcome the ineptitude that is The Sarkisian Effect for an entire season. I hope I'm wrong.
Feel better now?

16 minutes ago, Thatguy said: Yep. Beck has inexplicable bad games and you never know when they are coming. Lol
That's the weirdest part about him. He and Quinn had extremely similar years in 24. However, it was predictable when Quinn would have errors. Almost always under pressure with longer route patterns when he had to sit in the pocket for a long time. Honestly, Reed has the same issue, not that they are the same quality, just have similar issues. Most QBs who have issues have them consistently under x, y and z conditions. Not the case here. Sometimes, not under any pressure in the pocket, sometimes rolling and a late decision to throw, sometimes in a very WTF way. Then he has a game like yesterday and I'm left scratching my head.

16 hours ago, BarthHollamew said: Maybe I’m being over-dramatic, but yesterday’s game was the first time in a long time where I felt like our QB put on a cape and willed his team to victory. I guess the MSU game was similar, but Arch wasn’t able to finish it . . . and they’re not exactly a premier program like Michigan. Really looking forward to next year.
I said it on the Arch thread but will say it again. Arch is a generational QB. His early season struggles are primarily the fault of poor OL and play calling. Arch came more into control of the game as the season and play calling altered and his confidence grew. I thought he did the same thing against aggie and Vandy, but I agree that once he started firing, this game never felt in question. I actually texted a friend that "Arch is driving the bus, we are winning 100%" midway through the 2nd with the Endries TD. It was a very VY sort of feeling, it was very nice.

6 hours ago, Surly Bevo said: Fair given who they just but beat. But, the Miami who lost to SMU, Louisville and couldn't figure out that the key to beating aggy was that they can't stop the run effectively until damn near the end of the game could also show back up and get beat.
And frequent INT Beck is ALWAYS lurking in the shadows. People forget about this and they absolutely shouldn't.

6 hours ago, yoladu said: i know this a bit of hindsight..
..but 3rd and goal for Georgia from their 6 yard line with 1:04 left.
If Georgia tries to score with a running play and doesnt get the TD, they can run the clock down to about :20 left. Kick the game tying field goal
leaving Ole Miss with 16 seconds to drive to get in FG range, rather than 56 seconds.
There was some very questionable clock management on both sides of this game.

Just now, Thatguy said: I honestly think we have enough at receiver if Sark opens his rotation. I think we need to throw what we have at an O-line and a every down back.
Well in order of priority I absolutely agree on OL first. Hence why I changed his WRs to OL. I would love if we got a top WR coach and I don't think we have a legit WR1.

Anyone that didn't want to see Texas beat Michigan and isn't high off this win knows fuck all about football and should turn in his man card.

I fucking love Craig so much. He calls it like I feel it. I can't understand why anyone that pulls for Texas feels differently.
