Some fools might have the coin, but they'll never have the Quan

For me not a fan of the rehire. Maybe WM can bring total D together but it always seemed to be an issue between Gideon’s and PK. Hope for best but he never did anything to make me sorry he left.

In 2024 we lost a starting safety to injury early in the season and ended up with one guy in the NFL starting for the defending Super Bowl champs, a walk on that turned into an All American, and another unheralded dude that should be preseason All American in 2026

Blake is more aligned to Will than PK. Simple as that

Explain more. PK was Gideon’s boss. How was Gideon not aligned with his boss? Was he insubordinate?

From what I understand, Gideon was originally hired with the belief that Muschamp was going to be DC.

Gideon was hired before PK. I think at the request of Will who obviously left us at the altar. I don’t have any inside info. Just pretty easy to see

I doubt Blake was insubordinate at all.

Angry man. Could possibly know some sort of martial art. 6 foot 210. So quite a bit larger than Quan.

None of this matters if Kyle Flood doesn’t get his fastball back. I don’t think I’ve ever had my opinion of a coach change as drastically over the course of one year as much as I’ve lost confidence in Kyle Flood these past couple of seasons. I can’t believe it takes more than half a season to identify and solve problems that should have been solved in the offseason. If we can’t protect Arch better or run the ball, then we can’t run the sark offense at its best. The screen game and the deep play action are what makes this offense go. Which are both dependent on a respectable run game. Sark is 34-7 at Texas when his team rushes for 150 yards. With 5 of those losses coming in year 1.

It's more matching styles of defensive coaching. Blake was hired to coach safeties under Will. The PK pivot worked, but was not as good as fit with coaching styles nad coverages.

Was he hired to coach safeties? The only thing that's been reported is high ranking defensive assistant to Muschamp and Sark. Feels purposeful that they didn't say safeties.

This is correct. PK had a known weakness for aligning the front with the coverages. That wasn't Gideon's responsibility and shouldn't be held against him.

He's a good coach, a good communicator, and players like him. That he was molded as a player by Muschamp and has Muschamp's endorsement as a coach makes the fit even better.

This is a good development.

Last time around he was hired to coach safeties....I dont have a clue if its been announced what he's coaching this time.

He’s a pussy. We got into a disagreement that he escalated at a happy hour function. I offered to take it outside. He panicked, had people intervene in the altercation and then he Irish goodbyed the whole group as fast as he could.

Being angry doesn’t make one a badass. I doubt he’s been in a fight in his life.

Not sure if true but this is awesome!!!

I know Eric gets Agro aggressive about certain cr topics and I’ve seen it first hand. But not close to physical stuff but quite the temper

He showed up to hear Gerry speak about recruiting and then he was going to reuse the info on Recruitocosm as his own. Justified it with the ol’everybody does it maneuver. Par for the course with him.

Hah. I know. Just was never super fired up about him in 1st place let alone boomerang. Want him to do well of course so ideally he will kill it under Muschamp.

Getting in to bar tussles with 9.95 nerds is very on brand

Not at all. People assume he will follow Lane to LSU, but why would he do that when they already have Caden Durham and Harlem Berry? I think it will be between us and if Ole Miss can pony up a large chunk just to keep him, but then they risk not having enough for other needs. I don't know their financial situation over there, but I know they aren't in the same league as us, Oregon, Bama. Gerlorgia. Ohio State, and I guess aggy?

Oh shit! I missed that! I wonder if we will go after him, or stay the course with Lacy? I don't think we're getting Baugh. I bet he stays at UF.

Hell, I hope we land Durham and Lacy (assuming we are going after both). It worked for fOSU with Henderson and Judkins.

I'd argue it's a step above getting into twitter fights with former players.

Several years ago I went to some function at The Posse that had several 9.95’rs there. Not Bobby or Fat Ketch. Can’t remember who all was or was not there, but it was about 6-7 of them. Weird, weird group of dudes.

I've always maintained that Nahlin is our version of Liucci, but I don't think even Looch is a big enough jackass to pick a fight with a former player.

Either way, I did some research and found out that Gideon's salary at Georgia Tech and his new salary here probably won't be too far apart.

He was paid a base salary of $1 million to be the GT defensive coordinator.
We were paying Akina $825k to be the safeties coach/ defensive passing game coordinator.

The likely reason why we waited until the new year to sign Gideon was because of how his buyout was worded:

"If Gideon were to leave Tech before Dec. 31, he would owe the school 75% of his base salary. That number falls to 50% if he leaves before Dec. 31, 2026. Gideon will owe Tech nothing should he leave after Dec. 31, 2026, accepts a head coaching position at an FBS program or becomes an NFL head coach or coordinator."

I mean, their jobs are to harass and follow HS kids around to get info about where they want to go to school, how their OV went, texting them, etc. Weird is about as good as you can make it, and Taylor Hamm bathroom visit is on the other end of the spectrum.

If you had someone tell you directly that they were going to steal a friend of yours IP and what he is paid to produce, you’d just tip the cap and welcome it.

I met Quan one time. He was fundraising for homeless folks. Couldn’t have been a nicer guy.

I met Quan on an airplane one time. We talked ball the whole way and he ended up giving me his card. I’ve never met a genuinely nicer guy in my life. Nahlin is a true shit heel. And Quan isn’t small. No doubt about who would win that fight, but I’m sure Nahlin wants no part of it, and Quan wouldn’t stoop to that level.
