I believe it was his first (or 2nd can't quite remember) where he coached aggressive...going for it on 4 multiple times, pitch to a TE on 4th and short when it looked like a QB sneak, etc. He needs to coach like that again.
We have been saying that for two seasons now just waiting for Butch to finally open up the offense and use our playmakers appropriately. Well sadly I think we have seen all that Butch's offense can do and he does not seem capable of playing our best players or managing the game.
I saw on Finebaum where we were 0-24 against top 10 teams in the last nine seasons. That ranks last in the SEC. Below the likes of Vandy, Kentucky, and Mizzou, let that sink in for a minute...
Heres what bothers me:
-Screens wont work, and thats our bread and butter. Their linebackers are too good.
-Kelly between the tackles wont work. Kelly has to hide behind the line and try to sneak to the outside. Roquan Smith is going to spy him. Kelly is going to be tested like hes never been tested before.
-Kirby is a Saban disciple, meaning he wont respect the QB keep. This is where we have to develop the edge. QD absolutely HAS to keep it some, especially on short down situations. This will never happen because our staff has no clue what theyre doing, but it makes me feel better to say it out loud.
-TEs have to be used. 2 TE sets, quick passes over the middle. We have to dink and dunk on them. This will never happen because our staff has no clue what theyre doing, but it makes me feel better to say it out loud.
-Callaway and Byrd easily have the speed to burn the UGA secondary, and they are possession guys. The ball needs to get in their hands on short passes. This will never happen because our staff has no clue what theyre doing, but it makes me feel better to say it out loud.
We can win this game. It comes down to coaching. If we scheme correctly, we actually have several advantages. This will never happen because our staff has no clue what theyre doing, but it makes me feel better to say it out loud.
well, they are very good. and fast. and if you can get them on a rush, or flowing one way, you can get out ahead on a screen, or misdirection screen. so that speed can be negated, if done correctly, and at the right time. i do not have faith that we can run those come back wr screens. i would expect to see a fair share of draw plays too to take advantage of their up the field speed.Heres what bothers me:

again, against a fast defense like theirs, running at it, instead of around it, can work. depends on what you're seeing in the defensive front of course. if on early downs they're loading the box with 7, we're going to have manufacture some passing game to back those guys out of the box, so we can run. it's imperative we have success (4 yards or more) on 1st down. if we can't, we're predictable, and will go 3 and out. a lot.-Kelly between the tackles wont work.

i get what you're saying. and we may see him keep it a little bit early. but they don't want him getting hit a lot, and after the fumble last week probably didn't instill a ton of confidence. i expect to be frustrated by this.-Kirby is a Saban disciple, meaning he wont respect the QB keep.

i'm not even sure we'll have two TE's suited up?-TEs have to be used. 2 TE sets, quick passes over the middle. We have to dink and dunk on them. This will never happen because our staff has no clue what theyre doing, but it makes me feel better to say it out loud.
well, getting byrd 3 touches against umass was a step in the right direction. but hardly enough to call him a factor. callaway is that big tall possession receiver that can use his body to get in front and get 50/50 balls. he'll have to do that Saturday. having Johnson emerge last week was a promising sign.-Callaway and Byrd easily have the speed to burn the UGA secondary, and they are possession guys.

i get what you're saying, but there are some pretty obvious personnel match ups that just don't favor us. especially defensively. we can scheme all we want, but our deficiencies at LB are a glaring hole for opposing teams to run right at them, and see if we can stop them. even with the right calls, right scheme, it's a mismatch. and offensively, again, given how our O line has played recently (jeckyll/hyde) is the GA front 7 screaming "get right game" for that group?We can win this game.

We need to go after punts, reverses, half back passes. He has to do whatever it takes. If he stays stubborn and refuses to not take some risks, we have very little chance of winning. We have to get a lead and let 102,000 fans rattle their true freshman QB.

now, holistically, that's the coaches' problem to figure out. but as it relates to how this game plays out....yeah, i'll agree, it'll take some great coaching, and preparation....
