I don’t believe the scuttle about Chaney leaving at this point.

I will say that I would be happy to see a change at this position if I thought it would be accompanied by an actual evolution in offensive philosophy, but I’m in the camp that thinks the majority of our offensive identity, including gameplan and personnel, is dictated by Kirby Smart.

Until we adapt some killer instinct on O, we will struggle in big moments regardless of who calls plays.

Just my opinion...tough day for Dawg fans.

We do not need the disruption of a new OC next year.

We should hire an OC who has that killer instinct vs Alabama in big moments. Maybe the guy from Clemson. He did well in 2016 with Watson, but only had 188 yds and 6 points in the playoffs against Bama last year (Chaney had 365 yds and 23 points in the final). How about Washington's OC, 194 yds and 7 points in the 2016 playoffs?

In 2018, Chaney had 454 yds and 28 points against Bama. Oklahoma, with one of the most productive offenses in the country had 471 and 34, but Bama was playing passive after the first quarter. Arkansas 405 and 34 points in a blowout. Everybody else was worse than stodgy old Jim Chaney. Killer instinct is a lot easier said than done when you're facing great defenses.

Agree. We should be playing every play to score, even when we are putting in the subs in the 4th quarter. Coasting through the 2nd half of games disrupts the continuity and the psyche of the players.
When I was playing baseball our goal was to never let an opponent score in the last inning even if we were up 10. And we always wanted to score one more run.
