Out of curiosity, for those who are unhappy with this list, who would you prefer?

Also, Roper seemed to get the better of Pruitt quite well in Jacksonville a few months back.
They threw 6 passes. Not exactly a game plan of a good offensive mind. We just didn't show up to play. I look at the entire season. His offense this season was awful and they have 4 and 5 star running backs all over that roster and 4 and 5 star recievers as well as offensive lineman. So we blame Driskell for his miserable offense this year? Florida would laugh so hard at us.

Jeff Driskell says otherwise. If he was such a good qb coach you would think he could get some production out of the former 5 star talent. If not, you would think he would have found someone that could. Roper sucks
Because there's no way Driskel was overrated? Roper turned that turd of an offense on when they finally benched Driskely for Harris and then whipped our arse with him.

Keep in mind....it's not like his offenses in the Offensively challenged ACC were exactly record breaking. We have guys available that have put up Top 10 offenses and we are going after guys like Roper who no one at Florida was sad to see go. What a shitty outlook.
Keep in mind...he was working with kids who played at Duke...Duke...DUKE.
People at UF were ecstatic at the hire and they just hired an offensive minded guy who wanted his system and got Nuss. It's not like they said "frick that Roper guy, he blew it"
You get bent out of shape all you want but one year in UF's turd of an offense doesn't damn the guy to mediocrity

So, I guess an OC should say frick what's working and start throwing the ball because, you know, "balance"
That's kind of silly. Especially when your team ends up getting 420+ yds. I would hope we would do the same damn thing if you were running like that.
Did Kurt Roper frick your girl or something? I don't love the guy but with the garbage I am reading I feel like someone should defend him. Good lord.

no way Calloway comes back..remember all the shoulder injuries under him? not to mention his drinking

His OL's were usually worthless too outside of, what, 2002?

It should.....let him go learn somewhere else. He has proven he isn't ready for Big time SEC play. His playcalling this year was bad...his offense had games where they flat out couldn't do shite. I work with a bunch of Florida fans. They weren't very happy with the hire to begin with and then when the offense sucked most of the year....they were happy to see him go. I don't get why we have to be the test bed for a retread who has never fielded a great offense. EVERRRRRRRRR. The mastermind behind Duke is Cutcliff. Anybody with a brain should see that.

No, but i want my team to hire someone proven. Roper has proven nothing. We want to call ourselves a TOP 10 program and yet we go cheap with a retread who absolutly sucked dick this year. NO fricking thanks

Couldn't agree more. Roper is far from the first choice, but not many Bill Walsh clones are walking around looking for OC jobs in this cycle.

Blaming the QB for his failure as a coach?
If he was such a good offensive coach. You would think he would have seen the writing on the wall in spring instead of running him out their and allowing his offense to be pitiful.

Looking at that OC list, I'm starting to think more and more like - what the shite, let's just pick Lilly and get on with it. 
Posted on 1/1/15 at 12:42 pm to Prettyboy Floyd
I'm guessin this may be what's left of the candidates taking into consideration UGA does not pay well..we offer Pruitt money and the list is a lot more acceptable.
Posted on 1/1/15 at 12:43 pm to Prettyboy Floyd
The allure of Roper is that he learned under Cutcliffe. I think you and your UF friends are giving the talent at UF too much credit. It was their 3rd OC in, what, 4 years or so. They had whiffed on evaluating their big name guys and even with some 4 and 5 stars they still weren't that loaded.
Following the miss on Driskel who did they have outside of Brown and Taylor? That's all they were. RBs. Debose is a bust. shite, I can't even remember the rest of their WRs.
And then keep in mind UF tried to going pro style and then moved back to more of a spread look under Roper. So he didn't have his guys, had to change an offensive system, and all of that jazz while working with the gigantic gelatinous shite that is the Florida offense.
We could do worse than Roper. Like everyone else on that list not named Lilly or I guess Schotty.

Then we should be perfectly content with finishing behind Mizzou and USC.
If this is our attitude about who we are hiring. Sad really

All I hear is excuses for him sucking dick. Are you dating his daughter?
We were after most of the guys on that roster as well. Do our talent evaluaters also suck?

I am with JStan. Who would you rather have? Seriously. For once my standards are low enough that it won't hurt as much. I don't think Roper is brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but I like the idea of having more spread elements added to the offense. Which, to be honest, UGA was already doing that until this year when it made more sense to run what we do now.
I just want the pistol back.
But, anyway, who do think is a lot better? I just don't see how Roper is a retread after one year. I guess my biggest issue with your argument is that you are only looking at one year of his body of work. That's fine until you completely damn the man.

I already told you, I am no Roper fanboy but I completely disagree with your disdain of a guy because of one season with the shittiest offense under the sun

Not all of them. And we sure as shite did a better job molding our guys than the 2-3 offensive staffs that UF's kids worked with. Roper stepped into a situation there where not only was the talent sub par but they all have had a merry go round of OCs

So basically everyone is fine with settling because we are all conditioned that we know Georgia won't pay so this is what we get. A mediocre list of candidates that we probably deserve.
Lincoln Riley
Greg Roman...Don't really like him but I like him more than Roper!!!
Doug Meachern...TCU OC
Shannon Dawson..>WVU OC
Bob Cole...NIU OC
I mean I could go on and on finding guys that are putting up crazy good offensive units. Much better than Roper has ever fielded.
Hiring Roper would be equivelent to hiring Rhett Lashlee. Auburn has a great offense but does anyone actually believe Lashlee is the mastermind.....???
