I honestly have no idea whether this a good idea or bad. You would think logically a coach for a NCAA Top-10 program with loads of potential NFL athletes and a coach for the NFL would share quite a bit of common but from my view they often don't. College coaching is probably 80% recruiting, 15% keeping kids out of trouble and 5% play calling.
Whereas the NFL is what? Kissing top managements butt I guess? I mean, you get your "franchise" players, you have your common playbooks and you have guys where this is their profession and they are the best of the best. A lot of it is really in auto-pilot.
Again, I have no clue. If he'd be great, then great, but recruiting kids that often come from nothing is a big part of this side and being a great play caller while being a poor recruiter would be a huge failure for the program.
My quick take is that we should never hire NFL offensive coordinators. In the NFL they have a LOT more practice time, so the coordinators are far more complex than what they can do with college students. I think that's a big reason Shotenhimer (yeh I know that's misspelled, don't care.) was so awful. Grantham too on the defensive side, although he started to adjust over the years. That's my quick take, I could be wrong.
Well if he is so good...and Georgia is not going to fire Coley........Why would he tale a job below OC
You clearly missed the fact that he was a head coach at southern miss before he went to the nfl. So I’m pretty sure he understands the college game.
Than that would be different. As long as they can recruit and get kids to understand the concepts with 20hrs of practice a week. But I've seen some highly thought of NFL coaches come into college and stink it up because they were unable to transition well.
Don't judge Monken by his time at Cleveland. EVERYBODY fails in Cleveland. The dysfunctional Browns make the Falcons look like a model franchise. Judge Monken by his time as Oklahoma State's OC. 48.7 & 45.7 PPG, 2nd & 3rd in the country. Imagine what he could do with UGA's talent. This guy knows offense, college & pro.
He comes in at UGA and produces a prolific offense then he gets lured away, like Joe Brady. Of course, I'll take a one year guy for a NC , like Brady.
I think this is a valid point, except I'd opine that Schottenheimer's offense was not "complex" at all. It was mostly Tight-I formation with double tightends and run between the tackles (for 1.8 yards).
Just his name makes me sick to my stomach. When it comes to playcalling, Coley is Bill Walsh compared to that ****.
Georgia fans always gripe about our offensive coordinator. They always want him fired and blame the OC for everything wrong with every loss. That said.... Schottenheimer (thanks for providing the spelling) is the only time where I agreed with the mob.
