Despite how we want to spin it, this is an awful hire with the only silver lining being that we should presumably upgrade the OL big time (in addition to landing an excellent recruiter) with pittman. Chaney is garbage.

We all fell for it last year. Missouri (Rams) fans tried to warn us about schott but we refused to listen, myself included. 9 year NFL vet we said. Solid pro style scheme we said. We see how that worked. All you have to do is look at the universal, unanimous, 100% agreeance by arkansas fans saying how awful he is. He was run out of arkansas for sucking. One year later...literally the very next year, arkansas's offense improved by leaps and bounds with the exact same players.

It will take him actually proving on teh field this fall for me to come around, which I realize doesn't mean anything. The question I keep asking myself is could he really be worse than schott? I suppose their equals at worse so that's good I guess.

Well said. This hire has taken a lot of the wind out of my sails regarding the regime change. Just an abysmal move.

Kirby Smart comes from the Saban school of coaching where talent is paramount. Every decision is based on creating the most talented and deep team possible.

In that context, the Chaney hire makes complete sense.

And Arkansas' best RB (arguably) tore his ACL before the season even started. I remember loving their playcalling against us last year, because they started passing the ball a ton on the second drive, after they had just run all over us on the first. Now, that is going to be our playcaller.

Well, if you think the hire sucks I tend to agree not only because it sucks on paper but also because you are generally positive about things.

Plus the fact the AJC said it's good clearly means is terrible.

WG... I agree with you. Not thrilled nor satisfied with the hire (not that anyone gives a frick). I thought the objective for UGA in a coaching/staff change was to... Well, CHANGE... It's a pedestrian hire at best. I just don't see how having Arkansas's offense, and a better than average defense, is going to win the SEC/NC. Better off keeping Richt if this shite was in the planning. frick...
