Coach O is, by far, the best choice should we have to replace Grantham. NFL experience, and knows our system, no huge changes to overhaul the defense, and all the kids know h and are familiar with him. This is a can't lose move, if it has to be made.

Respectfully disagree. Coach O has exactly zero experience as a coordinator. The best part of his résumé, his time with the Redskins, was spent mostly as a position assistant coach or a quality control guy. In other words, most years he wasn't even the head position coach or the head special teams coach, he was the assistant to the head guys. He left the skins because after he had a few years as the actual linebacker coach, they demoted him to an assistant guy again.

I'm not saying he's a bad coach or that he hasn't done fine so fat at UGA. He's just never shown to be a coordinator. And the UGA job isn't a place anyone should get on the job training solely because they were already on the staff.
