Five questions we hope to hear answered by the Georgia football assistant coaches
But on Wednesday, Georgia is set to send five assistant coaches to the podium to answer questions pertaining to the 2025 team. Among them are offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann and tight ends coach Todd Hartley.
Comments
"What has Bobo done to try and improve the Georgia rushing attack?"
I hope his answer is to be less predictable with the play-calling! When everyone in the stadium knows what play you are about to run, the results are usually disappointing.
GO DAWGS!
GoodOlDawg, I agree. People who aren't good at things should be smart enough to realize their weakness and look for others around them that can fill that gap. I would have a have a new buster faulkner who could help and eventually take over play calling.
O line and D line will define the season for Georgia. A lot of our problems last year started there. O line has to stay healthy and youngsters on Defense need to step up. Here's hoping both those things happen.
I agree ChawlieDawg. If Coach Searels comes to the podium I’d like to ask him, “how do you plan to have significant improvement with your offensive line play now that you’ve lost 3 starters to the NFL”? Hopefully we will improve and have fewer injuries, but part of good coaching is handling adversity. Last season Ohio State and Notre Dame both weathered more serious losses on their OL’s so I hope we can also figure out the magic formula. Go Dawgs!!!
Bobo's offensive game plan is only as good as the individual players level of execution……given that last seasons play calling was like playing 5 card draw with a Go Fish deck…..given the schedule, injuries, lack of consistent team leadership, and the vicissitudes of oscillating team focus and the off and on again QB play….I'd say The Dawgs 2024 record of achievement was outstanding…..what I've seen thus far in the 2025 preparation is the exact opposite in every aforementioned descriptors….In 25 we'll be singing the praises of Mike Bobo…..because his plays will have been executed by a highly skilled and focused TEAM.
”without the OL, the offense goes nowhere”
@GtheGreek I don't disagree, and I hope you are correct with your assessment of the 2025 team/season. If that is the case, then the opportunity to be "less predictable" will likely be taken advantage of. I don't dislike Mike Bobo, but I share the frustration with a lot of Dawg fans when the play calling seems to spell the end of too many offensive drives. Your point about the level of execution is well made, and I will concede to it and give him the benefit of the doubt going into the 2025 season.
GO DAWGS!
A few night's ago I watched the 1st half of the UGA/ND playoff game again. 1st time since the game ended. With 43 seconds left the score was tied 3-3. That after UGA fumbled at the 15 and had a 15 yard penalty (blocking/hitting the ref in his protected zone!) on another trip inside the red zone that produced only 3 total 1st half pts.
On the fumble play it was 3rd and 3(?). UGA lined up in a tight formation. ND knew what was coming. Even the announcer said it would be a run between the tackles. That is how predictable CMB is. It looked like ND lined up 13 players between their DE's. GS, under center, took the snap and handed the ball to ETN on a dive play up the middle into the entire ND D. ETN was hit 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage, fumbled and that was the ball game. You have to also fault GS for not changing the play when it was so obvious that ND knew what was coming.
I would ask CMB how many plays are actually in the UGA offensive playbook and why he only runs 5 plays (3 passes, 2 runs)?
After the GS fumble, right before the half, ND scored on the next play on a quick slant/post to the TE. On the play the ND QB fired the ball over the DL/LB/DB right over (at?) the head of Dan Jackson. Jackson ducked to avoid getting hit with the ball. Worst instincts of any DB I have ever seen.
I would ask the UGA DB coaches if they teach the "ducking" technique or if they show tape of Caleb Downs and his ball hawking techniques. Not to mention the ND QB running, untouched, right past CJ Allen up the middle and around RWilson around the end in the 1st half.
These 5 coaches have a lot to answer for for the lack of development and execution in '24.
