Don't get excited. A lot of that is with some very bad teams. With a coordinator you have to see how the unit they were in charge of progresses, or regressed. Pittman's OLines have been very solid, and Chaney's offenses have been pretty decent. AS A WHOLE.


That's fine and dandy but here's the thing. Do you know what kind of fricking butt frickery I would have to go through to hire a sales guy who only hit 20% of his numbers? Ok so it's not an apples to apples analogy but at the end of the day you either hire someone for a) what they bring to the table or b) what they can bring to the table. Demonstrable results are tied to A and potential impact is tied to B. I don't think I need to define demonstrable results so potential impact would be shown by team success and increasing responsibilities. You're part of a winning team and take more responsibilities compared to your peers.

Chaney is fricking disaster hire.

I understand, and that is legitimate.

However, if that sales guy has been a proven performer selling Boats, and you hired him to sell a car, would you give him a little more time to get familiar with the cars you want him to sell?

What I am saying is, Chaney and Pittman are proven. Give them time to get the type players that are required to run their offense. I am not saying they are immune to being criticized....but to can them after their first year? We will be hard pressed to talk any recruits to come here if we keep going through coordinators. For that matter, we will be hard pressed to get a decent coordinator to come here if we keep firing them after one year.

He might be and you might be exactly right. I am willing to wait and see. We felt like we would have to wait to see results from Kirby Smart, and I agree. I also think we need to wait and see on Chaney and Pittman. You might be right and I might be wrong.
