Johnny Majors excelled at hiring great coaches, but he could not keep them for various reasons.

Yes he did. He hired CPF, CDC, CJC, etc. Quite frankly, he probably has one of the best coaching trees in football: Dom Capers, Jon Gruden, Dave Wandstedt, Phil Fulmer, David Cutcliff, Walt Harris, Jimmy Johnson, Jackie Sherrill, and Al Saunders

he kept making him run power and counter trey when he wanted to spread it fully, made him mesh his O with Phils wants

I must’ve watched a different season. I remember an o-line that didn’t know who to block.

Also, I will never forget how big Cromptons eyes where every time he would dip back.

Does he have the luxury of waiting? We got recruiting to do....hard to recruit offensive playmakers when there is no OC or defined offensive philosophy.

Is it really because the last time I checked we got every recruit we had committed and even picked up a commit from Bailey without an OC.... Pruitt must be struggling.... oh and we are probably going to get a 5* OL in Darnell Wright.... but look out because we are struggling without an OC.....

If Osovet is such an innovator, let’s just roll with him. If he turns out to be the next Sean McVay, awesome. I’m just beginning to think continuity and fit are most important to CJP.

And there it is... concession

The search has finally beaten us down enough to where we would be happy with a guy in the SEC who has never called plays outside of juco

I think Pruitt needs to hire whoever he feels is going to be most successful in the position, but if he hires Osovet expect the narrative to be that he’s wrong until he’s proven right.

I think he is waiting on Freddie to see what he does. I would think that is his top want. He is plenty close with Pruitt and Friend so fit is definitely there if he wants to coach college vs any official NFL offers he gets

This honestly makes the most sense, he's been searching for the potential second option if Freddie is locked down by a NFL gig.

I would honestly love to see some of the people on these boards be in charge of a multi-million dollar business with their bipolar reactions and see how far they go.

The man is taking his time to make what he believes is the right decision. Our new OC should like what he sees with the new recruits and possible two 5 star OL coming in next year. He needs a teacher and a recruiter.

Your assumptions are no different than anyone else’s but part of being in management is managing a product’s public image and people’s perceptions. He has the right to take as much time as necessary but coming out and making a statement in the very beginning like: “We are going to take our time and interview a lot of candidates to find the best fit for our players and coaches. We will have a hire in place by the time Spring workouts begin but we are going to be thorough.” That isn’t difficult, instead we get the occasional sarcastic comments about the worth of an OC or dismissive short answers. Instead we get endless speculation about who is being interviewed, possible offers, and the appearance of it being an undesirable position. Leadership is about more than just coaching at this level

Players sitting out of bowl games and coaches bringing them anyway, and other players' with the attitude that any bowl that isn't the championship bowl is meaningless, has been really bothering me. I'll never forget my dad telling my brother, "if you aren't going to leave it all on the field, DON'T GET ON THE BUS." I just read an article my dawg husband sent to me and it expresses the feelings from a former first round NFL draft choice, so I'm going to share it here. I know it's written by a UGA player - don't @ me! :)

There is no way of ever proving that and it’s just as likely that some of those would have committed regardless of the coach at UT. It is also plausible that we may have missed on recruits because we had no OC. Players want to know who their coach is going to be

Don't forget Eric Gray. Stuggled so much without an OC, he said, no thank you. Oh, wait...

Basically you just said Pruitt should be worried about what you think because you don’t like the fact that he hasn’t told you not to worry that a coach will be in place before the spring....

How about you just do that? Don’t worry and a coach will be in before the spring.

Harrison Bailey is a 2020 commit....that ish ain't written in stone. OL ain't too concerned with the OC. CJP can tell Wright that we are running power football...and he can be ok with that. Where are the some playmakers want to know what kind of offense you will be running.

He could make a statement and the moment the first interview was over the media and public would have rumors flying. Our biggest issue is we take everything someone says and treat it as truth. Ideally we have an OC before the dead period ends.

Did Tim Worley give any advice on making mandatory drug testing from the NFL and how you shouldn't run from the test and take a suspension?
