Hartley Hired by UGA

[Tad Footeball]

I'm a Hartley fan but the Dale Dale Check With Me OC hire by Jawja negates any real longterm concern we should have about this.

Kirby is really corching it up

What’s going to be his title? If he is hired as a quality control guy that’s a nice hire but he obviously underperformed as a coach. Why we had him coaching TEs and special teams is beyond me.

Well I’m concerned. You all might not be worried but he’s coming here with bags. Get ready.
Nothing motivates more when u can stick it to a former boss.
Take off Canes shades

Not worried. His area is the Jacksonville area. He wasn't grabbing guys in south Florida.

This. Lock thread.

He can go there and ruin there special teams also. UGA getting our rejects now. We back?

He is only coaching TE

Happy for him.

Always liked him

Yeah, you're right....we don't need those guys outside of South Florida lol

all the best to him. we just need to coach up our players and recruiting is crazy easy for the coaches!

Via Kirby Smart’s Twitter.

Now that he has bags, he’s going to be an even more dangerous recruiter.

i will grant you they have been getting the better of us on the trail the past 5 years or since sony michel but they have an odd fascination with our coaches. i guess they really want to be us. be careful what you wish for georgia.

Ready to let technically sound coaching recruit itself. I know we’ve had some insanely talented tight ends here, but his abortion of a special teams and reluctance to adjust makes me question all of his coaching acumen. I mean the dude was abysmal.

He was awful. Worst special teams I’ve ever seen.

Good for Coach Hartley. He will for sure be even more of a Sniper with bags for sure. We should get Jeremy Shockey to coach our TE's

True, but that is a pipeline we need to continue. We've landed some good players out of that area

Hartley should have never been let go. Period.

Say what you want about Special Teams but his TEs produced and he was the only offensive coach that recruited with passion.

Outside of punting were special teams really that atrocious?

Yea and maybe Andre Johnson to coach WR. Why didn't we hire Portis to coach RB and Bryant McKinnie to coach OL while we were at it! I remember when I was 11

Coverage teams weren't great but I would say we were middle of the road.

Hiring former players has worked out for Boise State over the years.

 

[Cuban-Cane]

Thats his Alma Matter I dont think he would have picked us over them even if it was offered. He did so with Richt but thats because Richt jumped started his careers. He has no reason to be loyal to Manny.

 

[Duvalcane904]

Funny all those dudes had long NFL careers, I bet they know something about the game they can pass off. Former players normally get into coaching (if its their passion)
