Searels career

[Cane01]

Here is the low down on Stacy Searels. Excellent work at LSU and Georgia. Texas not so good, Virginia Tech incomplete grade. I'm not saying he was personally responsible for all recruits. This just looks at his coaching. It seems to me that he did well with good HCs in Saban and Richt. How much he contributed to the Mack Brown dumpster fire, I don't know. I do know that Texas is having very few kids drafted over the past few years (11 over the last 4 years, many late rounders from a school that should have the pick of the litter in Texas). At Virginia Tech, IMO, Beamer has been done for a few years, a shell of himself. Their overall talent is way down as well. Overall, I think it will be a pretty good hire.

Nice work 01

The more I research all these different coaches, the more I realize a lot of their success or failure hinges on circumstance.

Is this guy an elite OL coach? I have no idea, but at the very least he knows what he's doing and it seems like his specialty melds with what Richt is trying to do offensively. That's a stark contrast to the frankenstein staffs we've put together over the past decade.

So true. In fact, the closest thing to a college coach with no blemishes that I've found is Kuligowski...and in the shock of all shocks we somehow fell *** backwards in to him.

Even when it comes to head coaches, outside of your Sabans and Meyers, everyone has shaky areas of the resume. Fielding a good staff comes down to betting on pedigress and taking holistic views of their careers...because anyone who wants to point to a bad season or a bad stint will probably be able to with 99% of these guys.

Even Saban had a terrible first year at Alabama.

Coaches are not perfect. They have bad seasons and make bad calls and make bad hires.

The trick is to pick the ones that are better than the majority.

Urban Meyer had an 8-5 season at UF and a 9-4 season sandwiched between his two championships. It happens. Most coaches aren't undefeated or 12-1 every year. Have to play the averages with a lot of these coaches.

If CMR hires a coach he's previously had on staff, that must mean the assistant has performed to a high (enough) level. No reason to stain a clean slate. I feel better about the OL then the DC, but time will tell and Richt has earned the benefit of the doubt.
