Def understand the point you're making. After watching some reviews on YouTube I def see that Gattis has done some things that have gotten guys open and whether it was miss throws, poor pass blocking, or just dropped passes, the offense has fluttered.
I was not a fan of Gattis hire but you're right in that our players are ******** the pooch on the field.
I think the answer lies somewhere in the middle. I think the guy can be a good OC. I just think he is not in tune with the team and not good at making adjustments on the fly. Or tailoring the offense to the personnel
The more that has come out the more it sounds like Brady’s agent trying to drive up NFL interest.
Seems that Candle, Rees, and Gattis were the ones who were offered the job in that order. Briles was interviewed but that seems to been leaked by Briles to get more $$
The Toledo Blade (newspaper) had a article after Candle news broke. Said that Candle was basically betting on himself this season, obviously he wants to remain a HC but it seems that Toledo Admin has some high expectations and basically are having him coach this season as a lame duck.
My impression was that Candle thinks he can get a high level P5 OC job whenever but has been holding out hope he can get a P5 HC job. The 73-21 beat down by Ohio St a couple weeks ago probably ended that.
I don’t think he would dictate to Mario or anyone else who should be on the staff, no one would give that kind of juice.
Let me go look for that article.
On your last point, that's one way to look at it. Personally, I think there are better candidates out there for this job if it in fact opens up. Personally, I'd take another run at Joe Brady and Kendal Briles.
Gattis shares responsibility for this offensive debacle, but there are so many times our guys have been presented with scoring opportunities and just can't execute. I'd place more blame on Gattis if it weren't for that fact.
The script for Kirby has flipped from losing all the nfl picks on d but still pretty good, to an O averaging over 40 pts a game and more than 500 yards offense with a walk on qb and their top Wr nobody wanted. Only against Kent state last weekend did the starters play into the 4th qtr. , they have a walk on starting safety on d, also. But culture is big there…playing to an Elite stsndard….making their best on best practices tougher than the games as their players say.Here’s the crazy thing when comparing Mario to Kirby…. All Mario needed to do was hire a solid OC to run the offense….. just not whiff
Monken has a good resume but at the time of hiring wasn’t viewed as an elite addition. He’s competent and knows how to use the players and their strengths
That’s all Mario needed to do
Combine that with recruiting and we would be sitting pretty. My other gripe with Gattis is it’s not like he’s an elite WR recruiter and developer of the position. Yeah he was at Bama, but that’s an outlier, and I put more stock in what he did at Michigan
Todd Monken - Football Coach - University of Georgia Athletics
NFL and college veteran coach Todd Monken was named Offensive Coordinator at Georgia on January 17, 2020. In his first season with the Bulldogs, Monken succe...georgiadogs.com
While I agree it appears UGA has opened up the offense a bit. They are terrible example and use for comparison cuz they have an overwhelming talent advantage against everyone they play outside of Bama
I knew it, and that's the scary part because i don't know ****/have zero inside info. I read it on a message board from a Michigan insider when Gattis was hired.....but i think the posts were from prior to Gattis actually being hired so it couldn't have been that hard to find out for Mario when he was getting him.
I put it in a DM but not the main board since everyone (mostly) was in a good mood. I also figured it might be bull**** but it definitely wasn't.
Josh Gattis worked under Joe Moorhead while they were at Penn State. They both left in 2018...Gattis went to Alabama, Moorhead took the MissSt head coaching job. Joe Moorhead was Mario's OC in his final two seasons at Oregon.
Anyone who thinks this loss is on the coaches doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
I see why Stevo’nem bounced to Flo ****.

Art Briles is available. Why mimic when we can get the original?
Exactly, people hate Miami anyway so might as well pull him in
I would love to see Cristobal go full Joker mode, say f*** it and hire someone like that. Let's be jerks.
Urban recently said he wanted to be #1 in recruiting rankings. If your keeping score he wants to be #1.
Also admitted they discovered players by going through the rankings.
Saban was ****ed last year about not finishing #1 in recruiting. When he threw shade at Jimbo, he specifically mentioned recruiting ranking.
