Any OC with an NFL pedigree should be smart enough not to mess that up. I think the bigger concern for UGA will be developing the next QB...
What if they are the beneficiary of nepotism and don't have any real accomplishments to speak of other than being born to a coach? We still cool with that kind of pedigree? Just checking.

He coached for his dad at 3 places (KC, Washington, & San Diego). He was hired as OC by both the Jets and the Rams as well...last time I checked, NFL teams aren't gonna hire offensive coordinators based on who your daddy is. He was also interviewed for an NFL head coaching job. While his dad may have gotten him his start in coaching, especially in the NFL, his gigs as OC for 2 different NFL teams he got on his own...
He was a QB at UF under Spurrier and he's also coached at the collegiate level in addition to the NFL. No hire is ever a guarantee but, with the offense that UGA traditionally runs, I think he'll be a good fit.
