Bobo, Searals & Coley. We had these coaches during Richt days and with same results. I know the QB can't turn it over, WR have to catch, the OL has to block and the CB have to cover, but we're not and that's on coaching, especially with our talent. You have to get the most out of your players. We're missing McGee as well. I've seen a drop off at RB since he left too. CB's look lost, our LBs look lost in coverage.

That about sums it up for me.

The three biggest ones for me-

Shitty OL play (some injuries)
Shitty Run Game (some injuries)
Shitty receivers (#1 in the FBS for dropped passes, two good ones suspended)

Give me Average OL play, Average Run Game, and middle of the pack on dropped passes, I think we're still undefeated.


So, to agree with you partially, Searels and Coley need to move on. At this point in the season you are who you are, I don't expect any wild improvements in these areas. The position coaches are the ones who spend the most time drilling and directly coaching these guys, as well as recruiting them, and they aren't any good right now.

We didn’t have Coley during the Richt days (he was an assistant coach 2016-2018, and then OC in 2019) but I get what you’re saying. The coaching as a whole this year has not been good.

We've had a few critical picks as a result of wide receivers running wrong routes, too. Would like to have those back with half or 2/3 of the dropped balls.

I don't know whether or not those are counted. But I only recall two of those this season. If they aren't counted, that takes us to #2 in the country in number of dropped passes. Furthermore, if that's part of the criteria, then it applies to all the other teams in the ranking as well.

It doesn't change my point at all.

There were more than a couple. That one off luckie that was intercepted is one of the worst. And that wasn’t luckies fault, either

How many of the drops yesterday were fingertip grazes?

I'd even take out the one Yurosek dropped when he got clobbered. Sure, he's supposed to hang on to that, but the defense broke it up with a great clean hit to dislodge the reception.

It's all the other drops where there are no other extenuating circumstances. It's insane.
