Chaney was twice the coordinator Coley was. Chaney wasn't liked but he produced. Coley was more likeable but the production dropped off big time. It was hard to watch the offense last year.
I hope Monken is an improvement, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest he will be, but will he get free reign to open it up? Will he get immediate results? There are a lot of questions hanging. Hope and hype aren't worthy of my trust any longer.
Good post Gray. Not sure any OC will get "free reign" under Kirby, based on evidence so far. And "immediate" results is a tall order. (To answer your two specific questions.)
With that said, I am a big believer in Monken, and I think he will be incredibly successful with our talent. (The most he's ever had to work with.)
Not sure what this has to do with Mullen or Trask, but I like it!
Five years? Kirby is a championship caliber head coach. His learning curve is one that simply had to evolve too. Monken as the OC is the current signal that CKS is growing like he needs to in order for Georgia to win the NC. The signs of still being on the right path are there. We the faithful always look for the signs, don’t we? GO DAWGS!!!
Saban became a Head coach in 1989, he won his first NC in 2003, people need to cut Kirby a break. He's well on his way only going in to the 5th year.
You don’t hire someone like Todd Monken without making assurances they will have control. Of course the HC always has input into strategy. But Monken is the type of guy who had options. Kirby had to sell him and make assurances to get him here.
If Kirby wasn’t ready to change he’d kept Coley or hired an up and coming guy who would take the job to get it despite lack of control.
Youve seen Malzahn do this in recent years. However Malzahn maybe changing to but I hope not.
Absolutely. When I said our time under Kirby I meant if not for little 10 refs he would have already brought a Natty back to Athens. I wouldn't trade him for any coach in the country. College or the league. He's been the best recruiter in the nation for a long time imo hands down. And anyone that says he's got to improve on the sidelines on game day ( as far as decision making), well so did Bear and Saban. Look what Osborne did at Nebraska to lose the Natty to Miami way back. Like in any profession the top man is critiqued for any step they take. Right or wrong. Personally I love where he has our program. How it's ran AND his progression as the head man.
