What are the odds that Coley is replaced as play caller? Looks like this is the one missing piece of the puzzle for your team heading into next year. I don’t buy the whole “Fromm is trash” concept. No One was saying this last year or the year before.

50/50 if you ask me. This offense had problems beyond him. Something has been off with Fromm and Swift that’s more than playcalling and the WR situation (especially last night) was not ideal or even good this year.

Not good odds we replace him unfortunately. Kirby seems to think we just lack WR talent and that's why our offense struggled.

UGAs offensive execution was attrocious on so many levels this year.

Well... your right Coley is awful. He was at Miami and FSU; Jimbo demoted him to co-OC the year before he left... when they win the title. But Jimbo was calling the plays. And I did t want UGA to hire him at all, I didn’t want him to be made QB coach the year before.

And as far as Fromm goes.. I never liked him as a QB. And I have said it many times going back to 2017.

I believe that KS has handled the QB completely wrong.
He was not batter than Eason he was not better than fields... He is from Middle/South Ga.

He got his 5th star the last ranking before signing day, barely. UGA bump maybe?

And everyone forgets he was committed to Bama, and the “he followed Kirby”... that’s wrong, TUa started showing interest in Bama and Fromm de-committed.

50/50

Coley wasnt the problem (despite what UGA fans want to scapegoat).

But your OC is supposed to be the solution to the problem. And coley/our staff wasnt. There was no improvement in the offense for not having Cager out there. An OC that cant make our team better with 6-8 weeks time is a failure.

Kirby is too stubborn to admit he made a mistake so Coley will be there next year and beyond. With Swift, Cook and Herrien gone next year all Georgia will have is White, who can only run in a straight line and McIntosh who looks pedestrian at best so we are looking at 9-3 at best.

Kirby ain't the guy.

UGA is a bit limited with playmakers outside, but haven’t they recruited really well at the position? Doesn’t seem like they’re being developed like Bammer, LSU, Clemson WRs despite having similar rankings coming into school.

We have 3 5 star WRs. One left the game early with knee. One sat out the first half and did well when he came in. The other had 4 catches. We also lost a 4 star during the game. All the other high recruits and most I mentioned above are Freshmen and will get better.

Kirby, in his post game PC, said that "we have a lot of the same plays as LSU. So it is not a matter of being out schemed. Execution is the difference".

Yeah Swift has been kinda disappointing this year. I know he's got something like 1200 yds, but he is sooo damn good. Seems like he has just disappeared for stretches this year. I know he's been banged up here at the end. Was he fighting inuries all year?

He's one of my favorite backs to watch run and he just didn't have the year I expected him to have.

I think Coley is done whether he deserves it or not. For the optics and negative recruiting etc.

I usually defend Kirby and think highly of him, but this is total bullshite. Our plays are nothing like what LSU is running. Oh and our execution sucks too so there’s that

Fromm’s passing yesterday was terrible. How many times did the they talk about Pickens making a great catch? Why did his catches have to be great? Because the throws were off

Coley hasn't been great, Hankton (wr coach) worse. That position group has underachieved all year long. But, Kirby being Kirby, I don't see it happening. And no, I don't see Fromm being trash either. Has he regressed, yes, but look at the drops by guys like Simmons and Landers. It's pretty damn obvious Jake doesn't trust his receivers.

The top WR from the 2017 class was Holloman. Kicked off the team this summer. #2 wr from 2017 is our nickel starter.

The 2018 class has been riddled with injuries. The top WR was out all year with first game action against GT. We had a tight end transfer closer to home. Other top target had broken hand early in the year and got injured early in seccg.

2016 class had everyone leave early for NFL. 2019 class was the only one with 5 star (pickens) and near 5 star talent.

We've had to fill in with a lot of transfers (Robertson, cager, wolf)

That is fromm. He is who he is.
Give him a Javon wims, Lawrence cager, or George pickens, and he will convert 70%. Take them away and you get the 2nd half of the 2017 ncg and 2nd half of this season. 50% completion percentage.

Fromms accuracy is in the area (not great for yac). Fromms accuracy is great if you have a bunch of aj greens on your team who can catch anything thrown to a target the size of a garage door.

WR injury, Fromm, and coley were all issues. It’s unfair to place the blame solely at Coley’s feet, but UGA would be better if they changed their offense like LSU did.
