I Would Be Fine With Retaining Larry Scott...

Advertisement
I only really care about who the heck is the new DC? That is the one that matters. Our defense must be brought back or everything else is a waste of time and money. Howard's pro style offense stunned college football but JJ's 4-3 aggression base defense destroyed college football powers and ravaged the countryside. As for Scott, he did nicely but in the end the team lost the bowl game just like Al was coaching it. It Art can get fired, Scott can go too.
 
Pretty sure he will end up being the OL coach though.. I mean where else do you see him coaching? Pretty sure he is being retained so where would you see him coaching, especially as it seems we have an RB and TE coach already. Its not like he has any business coaching WRs. I think he would do well with the OL. But who knows...lol
 
Larry Scott could be replaced by a potted plant playing back archived recordings of Fraulden cliches. He's a ZERO.
 
There's no need to force Scott into a slot just to keep him around. Clean house.

The only alternative would be to have Scott go back to being TE coach. But I'd much, much rather have Hartley take on that job (since he's coming anyway) and pay for a savage DB coach like Raymond than to keep Scott around and put Hartley at DB coach.
 
Why wouldn't you retain Scott? He's done a great job with the TE's. He's well respected amongst the players and he has built ties with the local area high schools. He is also now a familiar face to recruits being that he has been the head man on the sideline for the past 2 months. You send him to a school to recruit a kid and its a much bigger deal than sending some random TE coach from GA that nobody knows. It would be pretty silly to fire him just to say we "cleaned house."
 
It's good to have at least one guy with knowledge of the team. He has been around them since high school and knows their strengths, weaknesses, family history and personal quirks. There is only so much Richt can learn in a month.

More importantly, Scott is a quality tight ends coach. Walford made leaps with him and Njoku has developed from raw WR to an impact player.

Agree in theory but as mentioned, O line is too important a spot to put him. I'd much rather see a guy with proven O line experience there. While I expect significantly better play calling next year, we won't get far without better O line play.

So D, How do you feel about him as an OL coach though?

That's a little riskier. OL coach is a very important teaching position. Scott was a college OL but Richt has no way to know what Scott is like as an OL coach.

But is it worth keeping Scott around as the TE coach when it likely means Hartley would be the DB coach? Hartley's only prior experience outside of coaching special teams is working with TEs and safeties.

We need to make a power move at DB just like we did on the DL with the hire of Kuligowski. Placing a grad assistant who's only been a DB coach in a Power 5 conference for one game as an interim fill-in isn't an acceptable option, IMO.

No idea what they do with Hartley. They could make him safety coach/ST coordinator in light of our increased assistant's budget. I'd imagine he's relatively cheap.
 
LOL at Scott being the OL coach. Anyone who suggests such absurdity should drown himself in fat guy a$$ juice.

We should just retain Scott, but im on board with getting rid of him after he openly campaigned to get the job. Dont want anyone undermining the new coach.

I agree for the most part.. but like the OP said, just not as OL coach.
 
Give him his last paycheck and walking papers. He is not the great guy he is portrayed as (inside knowledge).
