Stability is great if you have the right coordinator. We made a mistake in PK. he apparently can't coordinate the entire defense and needs someone like Lake or Yates to coordinate the defensive backs and passing game defense. He's basically an intern when it comes to coordinating the entire defense.
PK has to go. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel on offense. The defense is truly horrific... a sad disaster. The defensive personnel are demoralized and don't believe in the system.
He's lost his half of the locker room. It's over.
I hope to hell the new DC is flying in today and will be announced tomorrow. Or hell, just reassign PK, hand the reigns over to one of the position coaches, or the new DC analyst, and make the new hire in the off season. But fucking do something. We cannot go another game with PK at DC.
He needs to be fired. He's shit and has lost the defensive locker room. There's no coming back. Muschamp isn't available... How about Jeremy Pruitt? Compliance needs to be told to fuck off and overruled.
Burnt Ends is about the future, not the present. We need to get talent to campus to help this team out. Yes, it's painful now. Cancelling just makes things worse for you and the team.
He's a very talented backup for Clemson but was only a .95 rated player out of HS. Those two programs are probably only interested in sure fire starters or very clear 2nd team players. He's got a great chance to start for us, but we're in a very different place in regards to our line depth. We'd be a very good spot for him.
Despite all our issues, we're still a superior place to be for a WR than aggie. There's 2 open starting spots available right now and X will command the double teams leaving the other WR's with mostly 1 on 1 match ups.
Yes. It's an unlikely scenario, admittedly. However, I am talking about paying him a good P5 head coaching salary to be DC here with guaranteed years. He is just an analyst at Georgia after all.
I don't want him as the HC. I think it's clear that DC is his best position on any staff. It's just a selling point (carrot on a stick), plus a shit ton of guaranteed money.
Would you call what we're seeing good coaching and development? I don't care what he did before... and... the offenses of the P12 for much of his career were not the best barometer.
What we need out of the portal is subject to extreme competition. Good OL and good pass rushers are few and the demand is very large. You can probably find a good WR or two and that should be a pretty easy sell. We have a log jam with LB bodies and apparently none of better than Brock so... yeah. Need to process some folks. If there's a QB great... also high competition, but we should be able to sell there.
The offense doesn't help. But are we playing fundamentally sound defensive football? Are we tackling well? Are our players in the correct gaps most of the time? Do our DL play with good leverage? Can we make tackles in space? Can our players consistently get off blocks? Are we improving? This is coaching independent of the offense.
We can't fix past mistakes. Good coaching should be showing up in scheme and fundamentals by now.. or at least tangible improvement. You can make a credible argument that our problems on offense are talent related, especially the OL. I don't think you can make that argument on defense. We're just playing with bad fundamentals and scheme.
PK isn't the answer. Muschamp isn't contractually bound anywhere. Use some of our incredible wealth and money whip him.
PK is in over his head in this league. It will be worse in the SEC. Cut our losses. It would be one thing if we were playing fundamentally sound defense and we' were just getting out talented. That's not what we're seeing. We're playing with bad fundamentals and poor situational scheme... terrible angles, bad tackling, LB's in the same gap... playing 2 deep safties when the other team is trying to run out the clock. That's absolutely coaching.
Offer Muschamp $3 million a year guaranteed, or more if needed. He's not on the coaching staff there. Gerg showed us a lot of things can be fixed in a few weeks with good coaching. Plus, Muschamp might fall into the HC job here if Sark gets back on the sauce. This is a good situation for him and the money can be right.
When do non-graduate transfers need to transfer to their new school to avoid sitting out next season? For example, if Donovan Jackson really wanted to transfer out, if he transfers now will he be able to play next season? If he waits until later to transfer, does he have to sit out next season?
Despite last week, I still like Karic over Jones. Karic has shown well at times, when not going against a likely 1st rounder (thanks FCB). Jones is just not developing.
