Gibson was not 3rd string. He was 2nd string all spring, summer and fall until he was pulled in the FSU game.
At the point Collins was fired, this team did not look to me headed for a 4-4 finish. It was headed closer to 0-8. The effort was falling off precipitously. The team under Brent was night and day compared to Collins.
Will be so awesome to watch this Dumpster fire on that thing tooThe riots are mostly peaceful. Peaceful as in no vandalism or looting although do I hope it escalates a bit. There is a new 75" Samsung TV at my local Target that I have had my eye on. Would look great under the Christmas tree.
hehe
I disagree. We had just completed the tough part of our schedule. The record in the last eight games was always going to be better than the first four regardless of who was coaching.
Gibson, in fact, was the 2nd string QB. Pyron, in fact, was the 4th string QB. Those are the facts. Who is the most talented is another question.
I agree with this. I think the recollection of events have been distorted. I, for one, was NOT expecting a team that averaged 3 wins in an 11 or 12 game schedule for the past 3 years and was on track for the same this year to go .500 over 8 games and I think anyone who thought that is probably not being honest and/or are overly optimistic about the state of affairs.
Pyron is just all around more talented... Better Arm, Better downfield passing, hard nose and could put it down and pick up 10-15 yards when needed as a RS-FR hell of impressive. Gibson was nothing more then a game manager.
No disrespect to ZG who bounced back from a rough start to acquit himself well, but I have to believe the depth chart initially was more based on both experience at the time and wanting to keep ZP's redshirt.
All Georgia Schools have this rule. It was put in place 15 or 20 years ago.
Even if this true, so what? Key is not up against Collins for head coach. He is competing against other head coaches under consideration. Just because Key did slightly better than a completely incompetent fool, does not make him a better candidate than all other potential candidates.
Agree with this, but just to note that after he got his bearings out there, Gibson proved to me he could start somewhere at the G-5 level. He did okay, really.
"6 years bad, 1 year good" just seems deliberately inaccurate. He took Tulane, a team that mostly won 2-3 games a year to 7 wins a year by his 3rd year there. Tying for 1st in their division year 3. And you consider that 1 of the "bad years". That don't make sense.
I agree and noticed that they must have adjusted some things in terms of pass protection late in the season. Even against Uga and their NFL D line, he pretty much had a clean picket all day long.
First of all, you do not know how Collins would have done.
