Josh Heupel

I made a whole thread about it back in November of 2018 before Richt even stepped down.

Where is the offensive line TALENT that Richt left? Because they must be AWOL and what not!

Sigh... Our issue along the OL is at Tackle and it is a deficiency but talent wise we are no worse than most teams in the Coastal. Everywhere else, we are head and shoulders above that conference. Our season should have been a 4 game season, UF, FSU and Clemson and what ever or draw in the bowl game. Everyone else the talent levels just don't compare, plain and simple. Now here is a thought on our OL though, how about we spread teams out, use our ridiculously bountiful talent at the skill position and get the ball out early? Dont need 5-7 step drops. Utilize our talent and Jarren's short to intermediate accuracy to destroy teams in the **** Coastal?

Wasn’t a fan of Cristobal being a candidate personally. I was ****ed as **** when they gave Diaz the job without a search. But at least there is an unknown. To me there is enough “tape” on Cristobal as a head coach and he isn’t a terrible choice but there is a ceiling with him imho. He is a very good recruiter and an average coach.

One of the boxes I wanted checked was prior head coaching experience. While Babers didn’t check that box, I was intrigued. But my hope at the time was for Campbell or Novell.

You are correct, I read the wrong line.

He's still the wrong guy. The idea of UM connections is overrated. Johnson and Erickson are evidence of that. Especially when it seems to have a higher value than results.

It’s worse than overrated. It’s dead *** wrong. The UM connection theory has led us in the wrong direction three times out of the last 4 hires, with the ‘ceo’ theory being the other terrible idea.

Richt was misunderstood, then. If you want to see what a great recruiter can do at Georgia, look at Richt’s successor. Basically Richt was a placeholder - UGA as a program, with its talent base and boosters and Atlanta, recruits well. Richt was okay at riding the wave and claiming credit.

if You had phil knights money behind u then u could have a good staff too. Oregon out bid alabama to make cristobal the OL coach
 
Mike Gundy or Gary Patterson. You have to make a serious offer and see how they respond. Things change when you actually put an offer on the table.

Coaching tree matters. Richt's coaching tree is a stick. Saban disciples have fared better.

I don't care much for Cristobal but he would have been a far better choice than Diaz.

Hang on...Kirby Smart coached for Richt before Saban and there are a ton of Saban busts as head coach. The last two UF firings were former Saban coordinators. Jury is still out on our OC.

as head coach that was interested in us? Unlike some I'm willing to give Diaz a fair shot but who did you guys want? Not the pipe dreams like Saban or Meyer but who had GENUINE interest in the job?
