The staff has a ton of recruiters, but needs some coaches, too. Kuligowski can't be the only coaching-forward coach we have on the staff.
Lots of young coaches on the staff and that kind of shows in games like this.
Jon Richt seems like a wasted spot. He's a glorified quality control coach.
Thomas Brown, for all of his titles, doesn't do much as an "offensive coordinator" and considering we run at near the bottom of college football, I am not sure how he justifies that paycheck. But he recruits at a high level, I suppose. If I am going mention Brown, you need to mention Dugans considering he's "passing game coordinator" as well as WR coach. I like our WRs so I have no problem with him as a coach or a recruiter, but if he's also a coordinator, results are...mixed? With that said...three coaches (Mark Richt, Brown, and Dugans) to do one job (coordinating) seems silly and ultimately, no wonder why our offense is the way it is.
Hartley...special teams kind of stinks and outside of Njoku/Herndon, the TEs aren't really useful over the past two years. Not sure where his value is as a coach. Recruiter...there is some value, but his role coaching right now seems on par with Jon Richt. I'm willing to hear arguments on him since I loved Njoku and Herndon.
Rumph and Banda are clearly both recruiting-forward coaches. Two players with essentially the same focus as a coach (recruiting and coaching DBs)...again, some consolidation here. Coaching-forward and Recruiting Forward Coach would be a better blend here. Also, if Rumph can't get Heritage kids here, wtf is his value as a recruiter?
I like a lot of these guys individually, I suppose, but the blend doesn't work for me. Need more COACHES on the roster. Where are the guys you just have COACH. Where is the Don Soldinger? Is it just Kuligowski? idk.
Verdict is out on Searels for the time being. OL hasn't been great despite being veteran in nature, but I will credit that with poor recruiting by a previous regime, but he's on a seat that could be hot.
