sorry brother, I misunderstood you. I should have asked you to clarify instead of seemingly pushing back. My apologies.

It’s all good man, either way you’re right and it sucks for Schumann. Hopefully it works out in our favor.

Lanning was making $1.75M. The key is if Muschamp calls the defense. If Mario offers the play-calling AND the money, the Canes may have a chance.

Schumann would be a flat out moron to not accept that; Kirby would essentially be slapping him in the face by promoting a senior analyst over him.

was thinking that, but then remembered Mario apparently interviewed and offered (?) him the job at Oregon last year and he turned him down. Think Mario at Miami is more appealing than Lanning at Oregon, but I guess we will see. That is if he doesn't just stay at Georgia.

Yes, but not every coach wants to pack up and move across country, even if he was offered. He knows Mario, and may haven taken the interview as a courtesy, to maintain the connection, and even as a practice interview. He’s a young coach, after all.

Players think higher of Schuman than Lanning. Kirby might go the conservative safe route and choose the proven commodity . Which could work in our favor , Mario has a relationship with Schuman

Not nearly as plugged in as Cribby or most but my childhood friend sons plays there and this is the feeling. Muschamp is close with Smart if they are CO-DCs Muschamp will call plays. UM would have an advantage with letting him call plays.

cribby changed that backed to smoke..what you hearing cribby
 
Guess who Oregon plays for their season opener next year?

UGA in Atlanta @ Mercedes Benz Stadium...

Impeccable timing, hope Dan gets a good OC lol.
 
Why are we so pressed for this guy to be our DC when he's never even called plays before? From my understanding, only two things that make him an attractive prospect outside of being a so called "rising star" and a good recruiter is he worked at Bama and UGA.

I'm not saying he won't be successful but I'd prefer to have somebody who's done it before. If we're paying top dollar, might as well get the best candidates out there. Even if it means taking another team's DC.

OSU just took Ok. State's DC with ease. ND took Cinci's DC, Marcus Freeman, last year. Why can't we do the same?

I know his name isn't as attractive but give me Gary Patterson and surround him with recruiters.

He might not need a top OC. That defense will lose possibly 6-8 players and their DC. The front 7 won't be the same with Dean and big man Davis gone from the middle. I know UGA recruits at a really high level but it will hurt to replace those two.

UGA will be good but that defense won't be what it was this year.

If anybody will know how to attack UGA's defense, outside of Saban and BOB, it should be Lanning.

The Jim Knowles and Marcus Freeman types don’t really grow on trees. There’s only a few elite level DCs available every year because the elite ones actually become HCs.

With that said, you do have Muschamp right there available as well so you can definitely make the case that he is the safer pick of the two. Beyond him though I’m not sure there are really any other surefire home runs.

Doug Belk is the hot name but even he only has 1 year of play calling experience. Tressel is similar to Belk. The Big 10 guys (Leonhard, Heacock, etc) I feel like are lifers or HC in waiting. Durkin is interesting but also toxic.

I definitely get what you're saying but the point I'm trying to make is we have options and need to be patient. Just because a guy is a hot name and can recruit doesn't mean he'll be a good coordinator.

I'm not against Muschamp but I'm not sold on Muschamp being a top D-coordinator anymore either. I'll rather Muschamp than Schulman because he has valuable HC and DC experience that he would bring to our team. Same goes for Patterson.

Also in the NFL ranks. I'm sure there will be some names that will be intriguing as potential DC's once the season ends in a month.

I just want a good experienced coordinator who will put our players in position to be successful. We can surround our coordinators with recruiters to ensure they have the talent needed to be successful.
