Didn't Helton have a 4k+ passer this year? I imagine that he'd be drooling all over himself to get a kid like Eason under his tutelage.

42 TDs? That's like 60 games for us.

Yes, that kid has been tearing it up since Helton and Brohm got there.

Hearing Kirby is waffling now. That story was not supposed to hit the press yesterday and was filled with inaccuracies. Chip Towers is the worst reporter on this planet.

Anyone notice how similar the KS hire resembles the MR hire 15 years ago.

KS - 39, turns 40 this month
MR - 40

KS - 9 ys at Bama, 8 as DC
MR - 11 ys at FSU, 7 as OC

Both coming from what at the time was considered the best program in the country, under the best coach.

Both , have waited years for their opportunity, both turned down chances to even interview for good jobs, much less try to get them.

Hopefully this means a good long run for KS at UGA.

That's my concern about Helton. Is it Brohm's scheme, game planning, and play calling, or Helton's? When I watched the WKU v Marshall game, I saw Brohm with a laminated play sheet on the sidelines and they never showed Helton. Maybe he was up in the booth? I don't know.

I love the WKU scheme though. It's like a spread-pro style hybrid. The QB gets in a short shotgun, only about 2-3 yards behind the center, and RB's lineup everywhere. They even do FB leads from the gun and pull TE's for lead blocking RB's as well. They toss in some run/pass read-option and consistently line their 6'5 TE's up on the outside as wide receivers to create huge matchup issues against 6' CB's. It's unpredictable as hell and I could picture us thriving with it.

But is that Helton or Brohm? That's the question.

why would he waffle? He going from a DC to a top 10 HC job. If he waffles, he's as dumb as usey. Chip Towers may suck but how stupid would that be for him?

Not saying it's blown, but this is the type of crap that really pisses people off, especially if they're prepping for a big game.

And where are you "hearing" that he's waffling?

Most people are making shite up out of thin air about all this as it is. It would be nice to know the sources of stuff like this so we can judge its potential credibility at least.

again, it might piss him off but if he walks, he's really dumb. I guess he can pray for LSU coming open if he wants a top HC slot.

Even so, if he wants to come here and actually did "agree" to sign on Sunday, why should it matter if it leaked? Is he really gonna think "aw man this is my dream opportunity, I"m so excited for Sunday and I can't wait to get to Athens! But wait, it's already in the papers. Well, I'll show them...maybe I won't sign after all hahah!!!"

Doesn't make sense.

I know we're all about every scrap of info that's out there, but frick you pieces of shite that post random BS with no supporting evidence, no links, no nothing. 90% of the time any one of us says "...hearing that..." you just read it from some other shithead who wrote "...hearing that...".

Believe what you want. If I gave you the source, it wouldn't be a source anymore.

I think just because there is no official word, people are assuming that to mean he is waffling.

With Bama playing in the SECCG, there is going to be a dark period here. That's just the way it has to be. Unfortunately, people tend to fill that sort of silence with their own thoughts.

If UGA AD and GM want to retain any shred of respect, it will get done. They may be incompetent at times, but I trust them to be self preservationists above all else.

OK, let's try it this way -

Is it someone you know inside the program?
Joe down the street?
Internet geek?

You can't drop that kind of bombshell and go crickets.
