As an alum, I don't mind dishing out the jokes when it comes to ugag comparisons, but I agree that the last thing we need to grow our fanbase is to come across as generally snobbish/elitist.

Makes me wonder if some of the issues (hang time, directional punting, getting an appropriate bounce inside the 20, etc.) I've attributed to Shanahan are not at least exacerbated by the lack of time he has to get the punt off. However, my eye test agrees with @leatherneckjacket with respect to...

I only saw the movie and didn't read the book, but what I recall about "Moneyball" was that the process was not about hiring savants, but rather, as @cpf2001 stated, looking for undervalued skills. It also involved an analyst who advised the coach on how to do this. I believe the coach still...

I agree with most of your suggestions - but to clarify my earlier comment, when I said "Atlanta" and "Atlanta area", I was speaking of the Atlanta Metro Area, which includes the 'burbs. I know that's not exactly what TFG's emphasis was in his branding, but his intent was directionally correct.

Something that I don't quite understand is that when we had PH3 punting in 2019-20, I don't recall many complaints about the punt team. Yet this year it seems we are underperforming in all aspects of the punting unit - Net Punting (which I assume includes run-backs), blocks, and snap problems...

Ok, @kg01 didn't actually say it's all due to bad blocking...

His distance has been pretty good, but there are several areas (hang time, situational awareness) where he could improve. I wouldn't doubt that he could benefit from good coaching. That said, he is the only punter on the roster and only has two years of eligibility left, so taking another...

Agree. This may not be a popular opinion at the moment, but I saw TFG's attempt to brand GT as "Atlanta's Team" as strategic. Half the population of Georgia is in the metro area and we face growing competition from other local teams. We needed something to grow the fanbase locally, and if...

Just FYI, we had significant discussion about this study back in June. I don't know how to link to the thread, but it was posted by @Texas_Wreck53.

I plead ignorance. Maybe it's well known to fans who follow transfers more closely. Regardless, posts #268 and #269 have presented links that support the notion that a second transfer with immediate eligibility due to coaching change is not allowed. Perhaps you can give some examples of...

I think this is correct for new recruits, but not sure about players who have already transferred. I found this NCAA doc online that speaks to the allowable exceptions to the 1-year sit-out rule: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Transfer/OneTime_Transfer.pdf I could not find coaching...

Back to the AJC article's take (which I didn't read due to paywall), if the gist is that Ga hs coaches think we need to recruit their schools better, that's a different view than presented in The Athletic's similar article last year. That article was discussed briefly in another thread in our...

To expand on what I posted earlier for those who missed it, this is from the NCAA: "The 12-team Playoff will be made up of the six conference champions ranked highest by the committee, with no minimum ranking requirement, and the six highest-ranked teams not among the conference champions. The...

Under the new system, the Playoff field be composed of the top six conference champions among the 10 active conferences, plus six wild-card teams, guaranteeing a spot for a Group of Five team.

Thanks; just read it. One takeaway that I hadn't heard yet - Shultz thinks Key got a five-year contract. If true, that's another step in the right direction. I don't think it would be realistic to expect anything shorter, and we avoided a seven-year handcuff.
