Dell McGee - RB coach
Was the longtime head coach at Carver-Columbus while guys like Crowell and Jarvis Jones were there. Most recently has been the RB coach and interim HC at Ga Southern.

James Coley - WR coach
Was the OC at Miami until Richt got there and didn't retain him. Has also coached QBs at Miami and was OC at FSU where he also coached TEs and was recruiting coordinator

Marshall Machow - Director of Recruiting
Has been the Director of Player Personnel at Washington under Chris Petersen but is originally from Augusta and played at Bama

Coley is an excellent recruiter in Florida. Hope that pays off

Seems like a suave recruiting hire.

I don't think Miami's recent track record supports that. Their recruiting has been lackluster in recent years.

Oh wait ... too late.

Congrats UGA ... unbelievable hires. So much more experience there than the ones you lost.

You're probably right; says that he was a recruiting assistant at Bama for a while, working the tours and camps under Saban. I'm pretty happy with that hire

The recruiting "wins" are only part of the equation really. Miami in and of itself has really been doing a disservice to themselves with its direction. That looks to be changing with Richt providing new ideas, but Miami isn't the juggernaut it once was when the original OB once stood. I think what Kirby really wants is the relationships already in place when you hire Coley (aside from the coaching ability). I would trust Kirby to be able to close more deals in the state of Florida than Al Golden. AG never really struck a cord with Florida recruits, IMO.

To be fair, recruiting to UGA and Athens is a much greater advantage than trying to recruit to the U and Coral Gables.

I think the strength in the hire is the long history of relationships built in the state moreso than some history of signing a bunch of 5* guys.

What's the latest on the defensive coordinator search?

With it being so quite on that front, it stands to reason that Kirby is waiting until after the game in Glendale to make anything official so as not to provide any distractions in Tuscaloosa. That is speculation of course, as beat writers for UGA say that Kirby has locked all information on hires down. Most scuttlebutt revolves around Kirby offering Lupoi or Tucker a promotion. Logically it would be Tucker since Pruitt is a DB coach as Bama's new DC.

I would only panic if my team had just hired Will Muschamp but since we didn't I am a happy camper at this time.

It'll be Mel Tucker. Pruitt coaches DB's so he won't be retained. It'll be announced after the title game

Georgia, I wish you the best, I really do. You are about the only power program I can actually tolerate. Hoping these hires pan out...
