This isn't a hire that you can judge on the surface level. If you did just look at the basic offensive stats, BoB would've landed a huge extension and people would be wanting Golding as the Head Coach in waiting. There's always additional layers and circumstances to every position. The fact Saban identified this guy, even to be a QB coach, a few years ago and is still interested in him today should be the only stamp of approval we need to put the minds of some of the fanbase to ease.

I like what we have with Simpson for the long term, don’t think we need a 1 year starter
Yes and no. I wouldn't want Simpson to transfer but at the same time Hartman only has 1 year remaining. There's also the chance Simpson beats him out and all of a sudden we have an experienced vet in the QB room ready to hit the field if something unfortunate does happen. I think after last season we can all agree there could be a bit more emphasis placed on having the backup ready to go and not be a potential liability.

Unless something different with a grad transfer Hartman would have to wait until May 1 to transfer to UA. I may be mistaken but the window I believe is currently closed.
So based on that we would go through spring training and if neither QB on campus meets the expectation our new OC wants who knows come May.
Hartman transferred to ND with the hope to work under Rees to raise his stock draft. Most thought he was coming out this year for the draft but was a late round selection currently. He has been prone to try and create opportunities that have lead to INTs but understandable at WF where the talent around him is limited. He has thrown for close to 8000yds in the last 2 seasons and over 12000 in his career.
Again his goal was to be under Rees to learn the pro style offense and improve his draft stock. By May we may need a 1 year starter that can come in until one of the others can manage it.

Trying to suggest by adding Hartman that you'd assure yourself of a solid backup is a fool's game in 2023. You basically have to assume the backup is leaving, maybe the backup's backup, and you're going to have a third or fourth string guy being the actual backup. (I responded to you but I am referring to the post a little above).

Let's kill this discuss on Hartman. He's not coming to Alabama.

I think that it'd be great if Hartman came on board, but it just might not be in his bets interest.

And? He’s been pulling in consistently high graded recruiting classes the entire time BOB and Golding were here, and that’s the concern, it doesn’t matter how good your players are if your coaching and scheme sucks.
And we won 1 SECCG(over the eventual NC) and came a quarter away from winning a NC(with both of our stud WRs injured) with them. Lost two games by a combined 4 points last season.
And I'm not trying to say that you are wrong about BoB and Golding, but its not like we were just completely devoid of success and winning.
If Rees is better suited than BoB, which most of us think that he will be, then we should field an effective offense with him.

Don’t even know if Rees is either at this point do we?

If Rees is bad we'll know quickly and he won't last. The lack of explosive plays and lack of pass plays over 20 yards at ND is concerning. I know the offensive skill at ND wasn't great.

One of his plays I saw on Twitter here . There was another one where it was a simple bunch formation and the receiver came down on to pick the LB ( motion by RB to make sure it was man coverage ) and the RB times the play and slips out to flat for big gain. Simple play , well executed, but just didn’t see much of that from BOB. I think he is creative enough

And won three game by less than a touchdown. Only one (Texas, 25th) was ranked at the end of the year. So while we were 4 points away from winning those two games, we were 11 points away from finishing 8-5.

I truly hope Rees is not the hire. Georgia can afford to play a ball control offense due to their lack of playing explosive offenses to exploit their defense. Unfortunately we don’t have that luxury in the sec west. We will play at least six offenses who have the potential to put up 60 in a game in 2023. Playing ball control and throwing primarily to tight ends won’t work against Petrino, Freeze, Heupel, Kiffin and Sark. We need to put up points and not only put up points we need to be able to take kill shots.

I agree. We will have guys on the field who can stretch the field next season. The questions are the QB and OC. How good is Rees creating down field pass plays?

Saban has said on numerous occasions that the game has changed and the need to score points and the importance of the passing game. I don’t expect much to change except for a better coached offense and hopefully an OC with some situational awareness . We will throw the ball unless Milroe is the guy

Should I name them?
Posted on 2/3/23 at 12:16 pm to BigFolks6347
Please, enlighten me.
I will also point out that UGA has been as successful as they have been the last two years because of how efficient they have been , and how often they score, and how they moved the ball up and down the field pretty much at will.

Ole Miss, Texas, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State will all offenses who will put up points.
