Agreed. He has done nothing to excite anyone. Everything he has done since the hire has been meh. From the coaching staff, to the DC coordinator hire. You can see how the players feel how they are hitting the portal and/or losing 2025 recruits seemingly every hour on the hour. Byrnes is a west coast guy, who hired a west coach guy.

Why not do what UGA did when hiring Kirby, and go directly to Georgia and hire Schuman. There would at least be something to be excited about.

Kalen DeBoer at best was the safe choice until he is ran out of town in 2/3 years, and a actual hire can be made.

If wheels fall off in 2-3 years will get ugly. At least Byrne will get shown the door with him if so

The more I think about this the more I realize this really hurts more public perception wise. I don't care how good Downs is...no safety is worth QB money. Frick him.

I can promise you if our offense is elite this year then Downs playing safety or Tony Mitchell playing safety won't make that big of a difference.

He's a great player but ppl acting like he's worth QB money are paying way too much and will feel stupid down the road.

Not even letting the man assemble a staff before, much less coach one game before we throw the coach under the bus...losing some games might be good for this program to shed the all the bandwagon fans.

Some of you need to realize we don’t have the NIL funds other schools do. We’re not poor but we’re also not top tier when it comes to money.

It sounds crazy with how successful the athletic department has been but the truth is our donors aren’t as rich. We don’t have literal billionaires funding it

These guys also want to go to an OSU or UGA or whatever other school that is more stable. They don’t know for sure what will happen here.

It sucks but it’s the two most important things on their minds:
1. NIL
2. Coaching stability and development
