Stacy Searles Ol coach

Fwiw, he's a power blocking type of coach rather than a zone blocking guy. Not sure how that meshes with our team

Guys act like these coaches don't actually also depend on players being good. Look at relative improvement. The ****** line at VT got less ****** under him.....were they good, probably not, but it could have something to do with quality of athletes he had to work with. None of these coaches coach in a vacuum.

Actually, a **** of a lot better. You need very athletic kids on the offensive line to zone block. Golden was blowing up our line in the weight room and asking them to zone block. Our kids were getting mauled at times because they're not quick enough off the ball.

This is a good hire because this guy worked for Mark at Georgia. He understands what Mark wants to do on offense.
 
We will finally attempt to play smash mouth football on both sides of the line. This is great news.

Some of y'all b*tch about anything, just stfu and let richt cook man.... Always questioning something, is he good? Why has he bounced around so much? Man quit being so apprehensive..... Obviously he knows what he is doing if he played in the league a number of years, coached at lsu, Uga, Texas and vt....

You were the dude who had blind faith in Golden too, right? I'm not sure how I feel about the hire but I'm certainly happy people are questioning it.

We can pick apart EVERY SINGLE COACH'S résumé.

This guy won a title with the Dark Overlord himself.

Why has he bounced around so much if he's so great? Wouldn't all these great programs do what it takes to hang onto such a great coach?

Looks eerily similar to a Jethro type who bounces around and has an impressive looking résumé that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Googled the guy. Resigned from uga to take Texas job. Uga fans were more than happy to see him go. Subsequently Texas fans weren't that happy with him.

"He recruited studs at Georgia but his lines always underperformed"

" live in GA and I can say none of the fans I knew were sad to see him go."

"
What's the old saying about chicken salad?



That would have been fantastically applicable in his first year. He's in year 3, now, and I'm still not impressed.

There's also a saying in football that programs usually begin to take on the identity of the coaching staff by year 3. The identity across the board is soft with little reason for optimism."


Don't know if this is good or bad news.

Here is the thing, people are judging these guys from programs who were consistently winning when he was coaching there. Which means the bad games people are saying he had was UT v OU, UGA v Bama, UF etc. I don't know this dude, I'll wait and see. Blind faith is equivalent to total pessimism

Richt has first-hand experience observing this guy coach the unit protecting Richt's QB. The fact that he's bringing him back is more than enough evidence that the guy is a good OL coach.

In short, a **** TON better.

I generally step away from OL technical stuff and hope for guys like [MENTION=1452]courcy75[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1279]gogeta4[/MENTION] and a handful of others to pop in and tell us about the life of a kickstepper, etc., but I just want to know one thing about this guy:

How is he in training converted Guards to Tackle? Because we got those for him.
 
I have no idea about the quality of his coaching, but IMO it's misleading to say he's bounced around. Very few coaches are going to have a resume like Kulikowski with 1 stop in 20 years and the ones that do usually stay where they are for a reason.

4 years at LSU (hired by Saban).
4 years at UGA (hired by Richt).
3 years at Texas under Brown, up until the entire regime changed.

This is his 5th job in 13 years and he only got fired from 1 of them. For comparison Orgeron has had 6 jobs in that time and everyone's favorite DB coach T-Rob has had 6 jobs since 2008. Just saying I think his duration at major programs seems about average, not an obvious positive or negative.
