A bye week kind of question - How likely is Mark Stoops?

[aelmiami]

Georgia won't beat Florida if Daniels isn't healthy. That walk-on is not winning that game, and we saw the issue last year.

I’d have to disagree. UF’s offense isn’t as good as last season. Bennett won’t win a shootout, you’re right there but UF just isn’t good enough to score 4+ TDs on that defense.

I hope you're right, but I don't see Georgia scoring much of anything without Daniels.

 

[RVACane]

Yes. He has a better chance at the playoffs if he’s at UM because of who he has to get through in the SEC at Kentucky.

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

He's currently 54 - 50 overall.

Is he an average coach or is he simply coaching in tough conference?

Clawson at wake forest is 45-45. Is he a good coach?

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

He lost by a combined 111-16 to Bama, UGA and the Turds last year.

He lost to Tennessee, South Carolina and Miss. State the year before.

At Kentucky.

 

[Go Canes!!]

At Kentucky.

You need to be at a powerhouse to beat Ole Miss, Tennessee and South Carolina, all with coaches who later got fired, in year seven of your tenure?

 

[aelmiami]

He’s probably good for 28 best case. I think they’re playing the long game with Daniels. No sense in rushing him back before Bama.

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

$ is going to be an issue but he checks a lot of boxes we are looking for in a HC.

Zo and Bratten on Hayes last night said $$$ itself is not an issue to do anything. It’s just how it’s prioritized.

The bye week threads are going to be the same as the game week threads at this point lol

Probably best coach we’d have since Butch, but I see him having Pelini type results here

 

[hoops156]

You’d have to pay him a similar salary that you would Mario. He’s getting upwards of close to $6million a year in the next few years… to be worshiped for going 8-4. Why would he leave?

Much cheaper on the buyout though.

This. I don’t get the hed leave in a heart beat Comments

Georgia won’t be in a single shootout this year.

 

[dycane]

For old time’s sake, can we now add Gruden to the list

At Kentucky. Id guess all 3 of those schools have more talent.

 

[Tree]

I believe he’s like 27-42 in the sec…. Still would be an upgrade over 4 of our last 5 coaches

He might for similar money. Just for the chance to win something in his coaching career. Depends where his head is at. It’d still cost more than $5 million a year at least

 

[406Cane]

I think the horse people behind the scenes will pony up big $$$ if he winds up with 10 wins and a Sugar/Fiesta Bowl type of thing. They’ll build him a statue at least.

On 'The List' but would need to see who his OC would be.

An elite team obviously needs a lot of great players but a championship team needs an elite QB. Can Stoops, in time, recruit those types of QBs?

Look at the teams making the CFPs:

1. LSU
Won NC with elite 1st overall pick starting in the NFL (Burrow).

2. Clemson
Won NCs and multiple CPF appearances with elite 1st overall pick (Lawrence) and 1st rounder (Watson) starting in the NFL. (Watson was...)

3. Ohio State
NC and multiple CPF appearances with 1st rounder starting in the NFL. (Fields)

4. Alabama
Multiple NCs and CPF appearances with 1st rounders (Tua and Jones) and 2nd round pick (Hurts) starting in the NFL. (Tua starts, if healthy)

5. Oklahoma
Multiple CFP appearances elite 1st overall picks (Mayfield, Murray) starting in the NFL.

6. Georgia
What has cost UGA in recent CFP years? Not having a QB comparable to the above. May end up the difference between UGA and Bama this season.

I’m am going to push back on a couple of these.
Ohio state had fields for one year. They got there without great QB’s. Haskins, 12 gauge, Barrett weren’t superstars and weren’t high draft pick, outside of Haskins, but he has been a disaster.

Georgia’s QB’s were solid, but James Coley insisted on making them look worse than they were.

I get your point, but there are multiple ways of doing this. And getting an awesome QB is only part of the answer

On the flip side, Oregon had Herbert and struggled. Texas always have highly ranked QB’s, so do USC. Point is, I think I would take good-great QB with excellent coaching, over excellent QB with good-great coaching.

I agree, Kentucky would probably up his salary to keep him. He has probably reached his ceiling there he’s not beating UGA in the east, but like you said he is getting paid a lot of money for not that high expectations.

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

At this point any decent coach, that's already in the SEC, is a pipe dream.

Why the **** would any decent coach come to UM, and be a part of this dumpster fire, career toilet bowl, of a program... especially under the current admin.

Forget it, bro.
