Oh, I hate to see Buster Faulkner leave, but who wouldn’t take a promotion and a significant increase in pay? I hate to say this, but with Faulkner now at Georgia Tech, it makes perfect sense for Brock Vandagriff to transfer right over there. At Georgia Tech, Brock will start immediately, he certainly knows Buster Faulkner and Georgia is his home state. Just saying…
Good things come to those who are patient....I'm thinking, Mock will not be the OC/QB coach forever. Why would you jump ship to a perennial loser with a lack of talent when you could bide your time, continue learning from the master, and be the aire apparent to the Bulldawg budding dynasty? But of course, it's Buster's decision and I wish him well either way. Note: I don't think Bobo needs the money or wants the stress of the OC position....been there, done that....B Mac has HC written all over him and I look for him to go to a needy power 5 school within the next few years.
Personally, I would be shocked if Monken left for Purdue, or most any other college HC job. He has got a gravy job at UGA with not having to go out on all of the recruiting trips. It would seem it would have to be the perfect college job and I do not recall calling Purdue anything close to that ever.
He has it just like he wants it at UGA. Run the offense, get paid very well, no hectic recruiting schedule, as far as traveling like the other coaches.
The NFL is where I would think he would go back to before being a college HC. I could be very wrong, but I might be right. Or crazy. Or right and still crazy...
Just leaving my opinion here, but I’ve noticed one or two comments suggesting Mike Bobo making his way back into the OC room if Monken to Purdue rumors happen to come to fruition.
Look, if Monken takes that opportunity, then good for him. I would be extremely disappointed at our loss of, IMO, our best OC since Mark Richt was calling plays prior to the tragic decision of turning it over to Bobo in 2007. But to those suggesting Bobo as a fallback OC, I couldn’t be more against that hypothetical possibility.
Oh what a short memory some may have. Remember 1st and 5tupid in Columbia with the best RB in our backfield since Herschel Walker was roaming the sidelines? Bobo was a disaster as OC for years because, despite overall good numbers as far as points, his situational decisions, halftime adjustments and lack thereof, as well as tactical decisions were historically negative and he always had a game or two every season where he’d try and outsmart himself and it turned disastrous for the Dawgs on the field. There is a reason that the AD forced Richt’s hand in politely showing Bobo the door and he left for CSU. And that wasn’t a secret, BTW. And how did things turn out at CSU? Yikes.
Anyone suggesting Bobo is like suggesting Coach Smart bring in Willie Martinez to replace DC Dan Lanning at the end of last season.
No way, no how.
The fact that Buster is going to Tech should be all we need to know about Monken leaving or not. Surely, if CTM was leaning towards leaving Buster would want to be in the mix at UGA.
