Taking lemons and making orange juice is a miracle. I'd say they took lemons and made slightly sour lemonade. If they can get JG to play like he did against Auburn 2018 for an entire season......now THAT would be lemons to orange juice.he's still on staff. doesn't appear to be going anywhere. probably doesn't get enough credit for the recruiting he does, because his ties to IMG haven't really paid any real dividends.
that and he's the QB coach. and QB was an, err., problem last year.
my take on that is.....yeah, the QB situation was a mess, and he and chaney and pruitt 'managed' it to 6 straight wins, 7 of 8 with a bowl win.
i would call it a very 'under the radar' good coaching job on his, and others', part. they took lemons and made orange juice. lol.
ok, i'm not gonna argue metaphors....lol.Taking lemons and making orange juice is a miracle. I'd say they took lemons and made slightly sour lemonade. If they can get JG to play like he did against Auburn 2018 for an entire season......now THAT would be lemons to orange juice.
sherrer was a bit of a surprise, but once he started interviewing, he probably knew the writing was on the wall....Rocker was gonna be doing something else regrdless and Rumph was also somewhat expected apparently.I haven't read anything about him signing a new contract.
Maybe he is "Pro Bono" this year?
Not sure CJP wants anymore coaching upheaval this year. I believe Rumph and Rocker were planned but not the others.
JG didn't play all that great against Auburn. He did what he needed to do. Throw it up in the air and allow our receivers (who were dominant) to high point the ball. That's all. JG gets too much blame when it's bad, and too much praise when it's good.Taking lemons and making orange juice is a miracle. I'd say they took lemons and made slightly sour lemonade.

yup. stats were great. loved the win. liked all the big plays.JG didn't play all that great against Auburn. He did what he needed to do.

Yes I do think they did a great job managing the situation as a whole. But thats a different issue than managing JG getting out of his own head. I saw another poster that talked about conditioned response as a reason for his issues and I agree with that a lot. I think with the system continuity that will help him immensely. That and a continuously improved O-line. All things considered I do think he gets too much blame. I believe he will continue to improve this season.ok, i'm not gonna argue metaphors....lol.
we started 4 different qb's and didn't have any real major injuries.....
and won 8 games after starting 1-4.
weinkie isn't gonna win any awards for outstanding assistant coaching. but i think they did a really good job of managing that whole situation.....so whatever metaphor you want to use, feel free. lol.
don't have any issues with that. he'll have the opportunity for sure.Yes I do think they did a great job managing the situation as a whole.

Agree...Unlike bball, where a Grant Williams can singly mean W's, football is more inter connected. Rare to have success if QB is sub par, while OL and WR's are good, and conversely, if WR's can't get separation or win 50/50 balls, the QB gets alot of the blame. IF OL is dominant, it is the primary factor in making average QB/WR's look better because of a more balanced attack and more time to find open receivers. Not giving JG a pass on his Dr Jeckyl/Mr Hyde performances, but I have no problem giving him credit on 50/50 balls...WR's are expected to make those plays if the QB puts the ball in the right spot.JG didn't play all that great against Auburn.

I read that Hughes was being moved to another position within the AD. Not sure if it was a "firing" or just a realignment. My guess is that Hughes leaving was by mutual agreement. CPF and CJP definitely wanted another person in that position. One thing about CJP, he now has no hesitation on replacing staff where needed.i think the only one that wasn't really planned for was Drew Hughes....and i expect CJP will take his time in filling that position.
that's not how i understood it. according ausin price, hughes was CJP's guy....I read that Hughes was being moved to another position within the AD.

One more thought. If CJP didn't want Weinke on staff, he would have already moved on. I'm sure both Chaney and CJP know whether the QB issues involved Weinke.
