Curious as to why Osovet is getting so much run. Serious question - what has he done to merit consideration? And your RB coach really should be an outstanding recruiter.

He put 11 JuCo players in the NFL, and 47 more into D1. His experience has basically been OC & HC and he's ran (successfully) programs at 2 different schools. He was almost the hire at WR coach in Pruitt's first staff, and would have potentially been the hire this past off-season too, if we hadn't landed Tee. If you lose Weinke & YAC it makes more sense to put Tee at QBs coach (where he likely wants to be anyway) and O as WRs or RBs, then add a new hire.

The main reason you do this is he's been here 2 years and recruits, staff, players respond well to him and his offenses were ridiculous even at the JuCo level. He's going to "break on the scene" sooner rather than later, and it'd be a shame to hire over him again for an on the field position when there's no clear-cut proof better options are out there. I mean that's why you try to identify and hire good staff people to promote them when attrition happens.

I'm sure Kevin Simon wants to be an on-field defensive positional coach, and being on staff with the guys we have here is part of the appeal of him coming here to take the Player Development position.

I think Frank Wilson would be a home run but the rumors are hes going back to LSU and that why he hasnt already been snagged by someone else. He was likely one of Kiffins first calls.

McClendon is the next one on the list for me. You gotta think he would be ready to get off that sinking ship after being demoted.

Don't like the Jay Graham thought. I get it VFL and all but he is not a top tier recruiter or coach for that matter.

The media (espn) has created a fake persona that nobody cares about the bowls when they arent in the final 4. It's their meaningless justification when teams like uga get smashed in the sugar bowl. Its annoying af

UGA did not show up to play Texas and got beat...that is a fact. That team was twice the team this years was.

UNPOPULAR OPINION:

Honestly...I'm excited to see what Jarrett can do with the same OC in back to back years. This will be the first time in his entire UT career that he gets the same OC/system.

I think it'll be easier for Chaney to teach him having a full 12 games of footage of Jarrett running the system to film study with, rather than what he (the OC) did with a different QB at their previous stop. I also think Bailey will be legit competition, Maurer & JT get that "backup QB" love our fanbase is so bad to give out. But neither have really done anything to prove they should be starting, Maurer had 1 drive and hit Indiana players on 3 of his passes...

Jarrett & Bailey on the same roster should only help both young men be better.


Now I say all that for two reasons.
1. I'm not a fan of a true freshman starting, historically we've not had the best luck with that situation
2. I'd love for HB to get a RS season, I wish we had gotten to RS Dobbs...that extra season to workout and practice is huge for development

i agree mostly, but HT, EG, Crouch, Wright, Wayna and other freshman that played at a high level this year are just talented before much development has been done. Some athletic ability can’t be taught.

If you don't think those guys haven't been developed this year, I don't know what to say but its the other 80 guys on the roster that win championships when you make them better. If you are good developers you can bring in the blue chips but you can also bring in potential, and that is where da golds at.

I’d put them on par with one another. Certainly neither out weigh the other by that much.

Look at the freshman that contributed the most this year. Look at the seniors that carried the team. Almost all 4+ stars.

Doesn't matter how many stars you have if the staff sucks azz at actually coaching football...after the 🐎💩 we have seen up close the last ten years you are never going to change my mind.
