This is a really thoughtful take that I think a lot of folks on the message boards need to consider. In terms of avg wins per year, there wasn’t a big difference among Johnson, O’Leary, and Gailey. The former two best uga more than once, the latter never did. (1) Gailey’s programs did a lot of...

The whisenhunt talk isn’t real according to this report. I’ve been told by insiders that not even TStan’s top advisors know what he’s thinking - he’s been rather aloof on the subject. So unless you guys have insiders in AD with better information, then let’s direct our attention and focus to...

An additional thought: the QB sweep play TO ran so successfully is not too different than an inside zone run in pro style zone-running schemes. It’s a different form of decision-making: reading the blocks & defense to take the best cut and running lane. The traditional option plays assign...

Malcolm Gladwell talks about the “ghettoization” of football, stating that the people who choose to play the game are those who are willing to take on the head injury risk because of the financial opportunity. I have friends who lead youth sports organizations in higher social-economic income...

Not a regular poster, but thought this was interesting enough to contribute: A subtle theme the author mentioned but didn't highlight: a lot of these bag-men have cash rich revenue streams (think agriculture). That, combined with the poverty issues in the rural south have to be big advantages...
