TE coach

I can’t get over the fact Coley is UGA’s WR coach and that unit is terrible. I mean those Wide outs were so freaking bad with drops that Carson had to transfer out. Also how valuable is an elite recruiter with a suspect development record in the age of NIL?

So we’d improve recruiting and TE play stays the same? Sign me up.

Thoughts on Pata as a TE coach?

Also, are TE coaches essentially former OL coaches who transition to TE? Not sure how nuanced the role is…

I could be wrong, but don’t the TEs typically work with the WRs on catching drills?

To me I’ve always viewed TE coach are the extra spot for a recruiter/ST guy. It’s the one position you can have work with two groups, WRs and OL.

I’d rather have Pata than the ghost of Christmas past. But way more than either I’d love to get a special teams guru. Mario will be THE recruiter as long as he’s here. I just don’t really value Coley really. Give me an actual coach.

I agree. More just talking ****.

If we’re going the recruiter route, I’d prefer Hartley. But Pata has been in Mario’s building and his roots are deep in the area. If Mario has a hard on for Coley being here put him off field.

& Most importantly we had **** good evaluations and development. Being real we've got a few REALLY good prospects in over the last couple years. But they've regressed outside of anything but inline blockers. Woodiel was a god awful hire and all I want is someone who can bring in value and production from the position again. Alot of that starts with Dawson but I'm not gonna let today become about him. So there's that.

I don't know a lot. He's respected as a coach in general and he coached them at FAMU I believe. He's needed as a recruiter and just as a good dude to have in the locker room. Loyalty is a factor here as well... he's not going anywhere from here and not bolting to Ole Miss or whatever Woodiel just did.

OL coaches transition well because they teach the blocking scheme and TE's usually get their receiving work in with the WRs and WR coach anyway.

I trust the next TE Coach will be a huge upgrade

Pata is a ghost of Christmas past as well and you have no reason to believe he'd do anything for the room beyond turn them into additional offensive lineman... I don't value coley as anything but a recruiter and honestly don't want him anywhere near here. But I don't want more unproven coaches either. Production & development from the position is what matters.

Given how we’ve used TEs the recruiting there has been pretty good honestly. Lofton, Gilbert, Schott etc these guys are all blue chips

Not too sure what to make of the whole position over the last few years. “USE THE TE MORE” seems like a lazy argument

We can certainly do better. Would hope Lofton stays healthy and starts to show why he had so much hype

It’s just been a strange few years for our TEs. Like 2024 people complaining about Arroyo usage, it’s tough to complain about an offense shattering records, but I understood it

This year the Bauman usage was absurd. I think we just expected a lot more from Lofton. Low key he was an important injury against Indiana. Whatever it was, health, game moving too fast, he started to become a weapon but he was pretty useless early in the year

I think with Mensah he’s a guy I would look to have a good season this year though he still won’t be a priority

Not sure if it will happen and/or be long-term, but I wouldn't be surprised for Field to be back on the field.

Though from a purely selfish standpoint, I'd love to see the return of the cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller...

Field is 100% not returning to an on-field role. No interest in it.

Mensa will throw to the TE if he gets open. I feel like we lack at TE. I’m hoping Gavin is that game changer we need. Brock was that guy but hopefully he isn’t since he left lmao
