General News about Key and his Staff

[Novajacket]

I hope Brock sticks around

He is out recruiting with new OL coach.

 

[slugboy]

I would think Key should be able to spot a good OL coach.

 

[forensicbuzz]

I think he sold his house to Bryan Ellis.

Seems like another unproven crapshoot in my opinion, but I could be wrong.

He is also a QB coach so unlikely with us keeping Weinke that we hire a OC that likes to be a qb coach.

Not to mention, I see Key wanting a run first O, and that doesnt seem like Ellis.

He is more a WR coach, but could do either.

nope look up the name (Buster Faulkner)

Man, I really hope not. I thought Barbay would have been a mediocre hire, but Faulkner (after some research) would REALLY have me questioning the attractiveness of the GT job. Maybe @RamblinRed just might be right. Even with the largest pot for assistant coaches GT has ever had, our job is viewed unfavorably by the coaching world.

I was hoping for an early Christmas present for GT football, but it's sounding like GT fans were a bit lofty with our expectations for Key's offensive staff.

I just find it hard to believe we would throw away 800k on longs salary just to hire a quality control coach as the new OC. I hope we aren’t that stupid

Stetson Bennett explains importance of Buster Faulkner in UGA offense

Buster Faulkner might not get the credit, but he's a big part of the reason why Georgia's offense is so successful says Stetson Bennett.

He was OC at Middle TN, Arkansas State, and Southern Miss. His OC track record is...well, quite underwhelming.

Looked rather good to me.
His offenses have scored well and has put up good FEI except for one year. What's your beef?

Ahhh like The brand names. Got it.

No, I actually wanted Bryan Ellis who coached at both GA Southern and W Kentucky and had high OFEIs at both places.

Faulkner's offenses were...well, below Barbay's offenses. Maybe I did some bad research (it happens)...please let me know what you found in terms of his OFEIs at MTSU, Southern Miss, and Arkansas State that leads you to believe he would be a solid hire for GT.

I understand what he was but he’s currently a quality control coach. His resume is not something I would say “we gotta get rid of long to get this guy.”

Re-read what I wrote. I'm not at all impressed with Faulkner...despite what Stetson Bennett said about him. Chip Long had quite a few players that raved about him at Notre Dame...so

And we had people who want Chadwell and Fritz? Not saying you were one cause I don't know

 

[Kennethshannon20]

What is with the rumor that we interviewed Ron Roberts? Is Key considering not retaining Thacker after all?

 

[Techster]

What's wrong with Chadwell or Fritz?

...and I was in favor of either of them.

Here's the link. I didn't write them down but at a glance thought they weren't bad. Waaaay better then the last four years here, that's for sure.

Ron Roberts is going to Auburn

You acted like he coached at small colleges and was not good, First I have no inside informant this was only something I heard no need to get upset.

 

[Kennethshannon20]

Ron Roberts is going to Auburn

Yes, but we interviewed him? So what does that say about Thacker?
