I'm not a Kaaya hater in the least bit, but he clearly didn't vibe well with Richt & wasn't comfortable in this offense, his slow pocket reads & bad decision making cost us games this year, so I'm excited to see how we look with a new QB.
As far as his comment, it's just another example of poor decision making on his part, if I'm a GM interviewing him at the Combine I would simply ask him, does indivual success supersede team success for you? He would probably say no & then that would go down as a red flag in his evaluation.
Of course, it will be a moot point if our o-line is trash. I expect improvement there though.
Yep...your entire post was moot. The OL was trash. The team was pretty much hot garbage for most of his career, but obviously it was all Kaaya's fault. Despite him throwing for over 300 yards vs FSU 2 years ago...it was his fault we lost.
Wrong. Feel free to actually watch the games, bud. Kaaya not only missed but was WAY off on plenty of throws even when he had time. His completions were aided by a **** ton of screens and short throws, and his yards were aided even more heavily by a WR corps that had I believe 2000+ yards after catch. Can't remember the exact number.
I acknowledged he put up numbers against them, but also that a large part of us losing was not being clutch/having it in him to win it. In 2015, he had the ball with plenty of time and a chance to drive the field and win the game, but what does he do? Throws two balls far too low and gets it swatted twice at the line of scrimmage. Game over. In 2016, he hit Coley for a potential game-tying touchdown, but he wouldn't have even had to do that had he just NOT thrown an interception in the redzone in the third. That pick completely flipped the momentum and they came back, when we could have gone up 17 that drive and effectively ended the game. He was also off on a lot of throws that night too.
Putting up numbers (like he did) means absolutely NOTHING when you consistently choke in big games and end up with NOTHING to show for it.
