the offense STILL improved
The offense scored two more TDs in 2015 than 2016. I don't see the improvement. Or are you talking about the 100 or so more yards that didn't amount to anything?

You have to see Eason develop in Year 2. He looked like crap in the bowl game, even regressed from earlier this year. Basic stuff like throwing off the back foot when he doesn't have to, throwing into double coverage, not getting into the progression at all. Bad decisions in general. Personally, I think he's really been set back by the o-line being a total sieve so he doesn't trust that he will have the full 3-4 seconds to set up and throw. But he really hasnt made visible progress since Tennessee. Chaney will get fired if he cant develop a 5-star QB in year 2.

I think most fans are on the same page of "next year he better show us something or he should be fired", and that's where I am.
I've tried to stick up for him and acknowledge that he has a TRUE FRESHMAN quarterback who has never seen defenses in washington like he has in the SEC. I realize that our offensive line is as bad as it's been in about 13 years. IT IS AWFUL. You can be the best OC on the planet but if your RBs don't have anywhere to run and your QB is being flushed out of the pocket in 1.5 seconds every pass play there's not a ton you can do.
Wiht that said, I also have eyeballs and can see that his playcalling is absolutley retarded a good bit of the time. Anyone who has watched a UGA game lately can see that we're probably running up the middle on 1st down. We RARELY run sweeps to the outside, which is what UGA was practically built on. We have barely run a screen all year. When we put mckenzie in motion, we're probably handing him the ball.
It's really a tough spot. He absolutely HAS been dealt a rough hand for year 1, but at the same time he hasn't played to our strengths and is damn sure not doing the best job possible. So I'm on board with the prevailing opinion of he better show improvement next year or he needs to be shown the door.

Considering the circumstances? The OL, WRs, Freshman QB? I would say he must have done an amazing job considering those limitations. Did I get frustrated with the runs straight up the middle? yes.
I'm surprised that Kirby gets a total pass and Chaney gets crucified.
When I criticized Kirby for in game decisions, he was defended based on those circumstances. Why does Kirby get a pass and Chaney gets run out of town on a rail? They faced the exact same circumstances (Save that Kirby was a first year HC)
DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME. I think Kirby and the team showed a lot of progress as the season went along. Chaney does deserve some criticism. I am not arguing that he does not. However, IMO, I think Chaney gets a lot of criticism because people from other fan bases "warned" us about him.

I don't know that they didn't amount to anything. They may have resulted in 2-3 TD that won us games. I mean, it's silly to say 100+ yards meant everything or meant nothing. What I am saying is if we say Kirby was coaching at a disadvantage compared to last season because of the OL, WRs drops, etc. then shouldn't Chaney get the same consideration?
I think we will see massive improvements next season with a more solid OL, new WRs in addition to Riley and Wims and another year fo experience for eason.
I guess my main point was to those that were wishing he were fired after this season. Seems very premature considering the circumstances.

Are you saying Yards Don't matter? The only thing 2015 o did better was score more vs fcs teams.
