For some one who self appointed himself expert on all things UGa football and loves to condescend we of the moronic ineptitude crowd when expressing views not aligned with yours, you certainly miss the boat often. First, who said Schu was shown no interest? I said he was not a serious candidate. And by all means please share any teams that he turned down for specifically the HBC position? He was linked to a UNC and Mich but no official offers. He turned down Bama officially, but that was for the DC position, not a HBC position. Same with the NFL Philly Dawg Eagles…DC position not HBC. I will give you that yes, he has stated several times that he is not looking to relocate at this time because he is very happy raising his family in Athens, however he did caveat that when the right opportunity arises it will happen naturally. Don't know about Schu, but for Lanning that naturally happening opportunity came with a 4.7M offer that was quickly readjusted to around what, 10-11M a year now…I'm sure that if Mich really wanted him, a similar offer would have been talked about, but NO offer.
By the way, why are you always coming across so angry in your posts? This is just a fan blog, it ain't life and death. This ain't gaza. In the immortal words of Bob Marley, Evrything gonna be all right, mon…cheers.
So much there to comment on. I'll try to be concise. Schu is not Lanning. He isn't at the same point and he doesn't come off as ready for that level of responsibility. Lanning definitely benefitted from the level (and depth ) of talent he had. The '25 D did improve. I guess we can give Schu credit for that. But my point is it takes more than D stat's to catapult into a major (OR) D1 program HC. Coming off a championship helps a lot. Look at all of the Saban assistants that made the jump. Not all successfully. Schu just doesn't seem ready yet.
As for Muschamp, much of what you say is true. Had he been the DC in '21 and '22 he probably would've gotten another chance to be HC. I think he could be HC again IF he were willing to work his way up again from a smaller program. And that can be done easier these days with the financial commitment from the school. See Indiana, TTech.
With what TX is paying Muschamp why should he bother? He gets a boatload of money, gets to coach on the field and in the meeting rooms and recruit (buy) players without the aggravation of dealing with the alumni, press, fans, stress of HC responsibility.
I don't expect a lot from UNC and I don't put a lot of stock in former NFL coaches coaching in CFB. Whole different animal. CFB coach is an extremely difficult job. 24/7/365 dealing with 18 -23 year olds. I give CKS and his staff a lot of credit. They work extremely hard. Probably most days and probably 12 + hrs/day. No way are ex-NFL guys working that hard. NFL coaches coach football for men. That is probably only half the job for CFB coaches.
UNC/Belichick Old guy (collecting a paycheck) who has never been known as a good communicator or motivator. He is not going to wow (or even reach) many young players these days. I actually surprised he went back to UNC. 9 NFL openings and nobody wants him. That should tell you something.
Agree with the Muschamp assessment, never thought about that from a dealing with the alumni perspective. Let Sark deal with that and all he has to do is buy-recruit-coach. Not having UGa alum ties = less stress on the plate.
Funny thing about Schu is that with all that uber Dee talent he had to work with 2 seasons ago, he was a hot HBC commodity. Less layers of experienced talent played a big part in perceived regression but all in all, he did a solid job of developing the younger players. I’m glad he is still here but if I were an if man, DC apples to apples I would take Will if the choice were available. Great comments, cheers mate.
