FWIW Gaby says he still thinks Field is going to be the TE coach but “he’s trying to be respectful of the process.” Says it’s more of a timing issue...which is a shame because I really liked Field and wouldn’t mind if he stayed on field
Hartley is a beast recruiter, regardless of position, but he was easily one of the worst ST's coaches we've ever had here. Our special teams got worse each year and basically climaxed Manny's 1st year as HC/Hartley's 1st year at UGA.Hartley is the move
Mario does not hire dudes who do just one job. If that ever happened where he hired someone that did one job recruiting would be the number one thing that guy is hired for.Just the fact that Mario chose him tells me that he recruits properly
Plus judging by the way we have seen Mario operate the last 3+ months, he doesn't seem like the type to give a **** about an announcement to keep a current staff member on board being "ruined".I don’t understand this.
If he was going to be named the TE coach, what sense is there in delaying the announcement?
It’s not like we’re figuring out a buyout with another school or something. He’s already here.
The only logical reason to keep waiting would be if Mario is trying to get someone else.

Exactly, and Gattis is a guy that knows exactly what he wants…he will get on the same page or not. He knows the recruiting side…this will be a big resume builder for him if he can gel.I'm good with Field, too. He got Arroyo here and don't think we get Skinner without him, though Mario was the tipping point in that recruitment.
Yes, the $niper Hartley would've been the prize, but Field is solid.
Full staff now. Let's go!
I almost agree with this. I feel Mario tries to hire good developers as coaches who are beasts on the trail as well. He has done so with about 90% of his inaugural staff at Miami however, the early take on Salavea is he’s a pretty good developer but is lack luster on the trail. He could pleasantly surprise us all but time will tell. I could be missing a coach or 2 who is one dimensional but I am pretty sure the other 9 on field coaches can develop and recruit.Mario does not hire dudes who do just one job.

I don’t understand the Gabby hate Did I miss something? Is it cause he didn’t get a coaching hire prediction correct? I am pretty sure no media members got all the hires right. Maybe onesies and twosies here and there but the hires were played so closely to the vest they were all surprising. Is it cause he’s vague in his recruiting nuggets? I think almost all writers on the recruiting sites are vague af!! I remember the same things being said about Ivins. Only “Crystal Ball Wiltfong” throws his predictions out there boldly with immaculate precision. It could be that they don’t want to burn bridges with recruits or sources in the program or they don’t have any solid sauces so they just be saying vague **** to bang out content for their faithful subscribers. Not trying to defend Gabby but I just don’t understand the criticism, like I said unless there’s something I am missing I would love to know the reasons though because I am curious.Lol nothing is more fitting than Grand Wizard Gaby pulling his article because he has no connects…
Hope Hartley back. Fields a **** of a recruiter but the TEs play dropped off last 2 years thats just facts. Hartley better over all coach and recruiter. Fields can take off field role and probably make the same amount.View attachment 178936
Not quite done yet
I don’t get calling him “grand wizard” but he’s been wrong throughout the coaching search and then also whiffed a bit in recruiting. He’s just learning on the job as to what info he gets is reportable so of course he’s going to catch some flack. He’s also a master hedger and can make posts where he says absolutely nothing.I don’t understand the Gabby hate Did I miss something? Is it cause he didn’t get a coaching hire prediction correct?

you're really trying to talk down on the guy. He simply reports what he is told. He could say nothing and just delete the article.Lol he said he still could be the TE coach. That’s hedging.
No **** Gaby!
If it's not Hartley, I'd be fine with keeping Field. Hartley is definitely who I am hoping for though.Hope Hartley back.

agree. He shares what he can. ANd he's never tried to pretend he knows more than he does.I don’t understand the Gabby hate Did I miss something?

I don’t put much stock into what he says. He doesn’t seem to be too plugged in right now.Manny Navarro says he has heard rumors about Tim Brewster to Miami
