Thomas Brown as a college running back at UGA

Advertisement
Don't think he underachieved as much as played hurt a lot. He was named SEC All-Freshman team and was teams leading rusher. His worst season statistics wise was was his soph. year, but was still the teams leading rusher. The injury bug hit him his jr (only played in 7 games) and sr years(played in 10 games) but he was still productive. His total yards per game was 100.9 his jr year and 119.6 his sr year splitting time with knowshoun moreno. One you can say about him was that you could never questioned his heart and effort he gave to the team.

That may have been the year that LeSean McCoy committed to us out of the blue, but ended up elsewhere - he clearly turned out pretty well....

I said the same thing but then when I looked again, we signed three.... ****!!! Talk about throwing Sh*** on the wall..... After Coker let The Don go you can tell he started recruiting RB from recruiting sites.

Pretty sure McCoy was later than this. He committed the same year as Graig Cooper. We did have a 4th RB in the 04 class. I think his name was Derron Thomas. Played here for a couple years and then transferred to Nebraska I think

Nope! He was fired at the end of 2003 season. Coker got a new contract extension, promoted and hired his own staff. The core of Butch's staff were given their papers.

Think we had 4 of the top 15 or 20 but none of them produced.
We didn't know that we were in a death spiral.
 
Does anyone have any info on how the station with Knoshawn and CTB played out at the end of his career Brown being the older and less talented veteran and knows being the younger better layer? could give us a good indication on how this roster is going to be built

Derron graduated from Miami. He played here for 5 years. Were you thinking of Shawnbrey McNeal that transferred to SMU?

Nope not true. The Don was fired at the end of 2003. Then Coker got an extension at the beginning of 2004 which he promoted some of the staff and fired the rest.
 
5'10 185 out of HS and bulked up like a beast. Can our players please do, and take, whatever he was doing?

they rotated, with moreno getting the most plays of the two. Coach Richt likes to have two #1 TB's and rotate them to keep them fresh, and a #3 that will see some playing time, but normally in a situation that suits their talents.

lately, #3 at UGA has been brendan douglas, who is, frankly, not a SEC or ACC quality RB.

he does, however, know how to block and pick up a blitz

so if he came in on a third and short, everyone knew it was going to be a pass or jet sweep, and he was in to block or protect.

Sorry my threes look like fives.... lol

2005 season
Main article: 2005 Miami Hurricanes football team

In late September 2005, Coker agreed to a five-year contract extension with the university. The new contract would have paid Coker in the neighborhood of $2 million per season, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football.

The 2005 season ended on a disappointing note for Coker and Miami, as the Hurricanes lost two of their last three games, including a 40–3 loss to LSU in the Peach Bowl. This was the worst bowl defeat in school history, and included a post-game fight in the tunnel leaving the stadium. In the wake of this loss, Coker fired four longtime Miami assistants. The team finished 9–3 for the second consecutive season.

Coker was reported to be on the hot seat entering the 2006 season, with many speculating that he would need to at least take the team to a BCS bowl in order to keep his job.
