we’ve started DBs a lot worse than Hellams since 2016 and we still hold it together.

Fireable offense IMO. Golding can be interim. If y’all beat Kansas St in the bowl game i say promote him.

Hellams isn't a bad DB (he isn't great, but he's not bad). He's a horrid one on one matchup for a WR who runs a 4.35 in open space.

Braswell/Anderson/Turner aren't bad OLBs. They're bad as DL making up 3 of the 4 guys in the front 4 in a run down, though.

Etc

Tight coverage is a throw away term.

Howevwr, 13 PBUs is a great year for any DB.

I will say that a boundary DB who can force the receiver to the sideline to shrink the QBs window (whether the ball is thrown or not) should be a factor.
That is the difference between "an indefensible catch" and incompletion a lot of times. And it starts at the first 5 yards off the LOS.

Yea it's definitely a murky stat. Probably much more murky in college compared to the NFL where they have all sorts of advanced tech stuff that can give data on everything as opposed to some 21 year old charting games at 11 pm.

That’s not just advanced stats either.

For basketball games, UGA and ESPN/SECN have only one guy to collect every stat and update it live so it can feed to the computers in the control room running the broadcast. A lot of mistakes happen

Lol at Carter not being on the list.



He only played 263 snaps all season over 9 games. Thats only 29 snaps a game in the games he did even play in. I mean that's a pretty good reason to leave someone off an A.A. list. I'm sure they had minimums in terms of snaps to get on the list there.

He was dominant for sure but just didnt play much at all.

Yep - especially on all that secondary stuff. It's why a lot of schools pay for their own analytics guys (or 3rd parties) to chart their games live and give them independent stats. I know Oats does that and a lot of times he'll read from his little print out sheet he gets immediately after games and the stats don't match the official ones (stuff like turnovers/blocks/etc), and it is precisely because of what you said.

According to PFF Saban must have gotten an F

They are loaded with the best players yet they couldn’t do shite

The coaching staff definitely gets an F. We had some holes, but a good staff would have hidden them and played to our strengths. We didn't. On either side of the ball. Not to mention those areas with good but not great players mostly were upperclassmen, which should help compensate for perhaps not being elite physically.

Head Coach/Coordinators certainly get a failing grade for this past season.

Georgia fans and finding things to feel slighted about, you can't name a better duo.

The sooner you guys ignore PFF grades the better off you'll be.

how many more years similar to this would you tolerate before you start to support sending Saban to the butterfly farm?

If he retained the coordinators (or hired obvious retreads to replace them ala Derek Dooley as OC and/or Charles Kelly as DC) then I'd be pretty rattled moving forward. If he makes sensible coordinator hires then I'm pretty willing to accept the fact that the culture shite just is what it is, only Kirby is going to be able to recapture the culture thing we had from 2009-2017, so there isn't really any reasonable reason to act like anyone else could come in and get that back so it's not worth losing our minds over.

That is kind of what I expect. New coordinators, better coached team but still not the same level of robot/machine that we were before. Just another of the really, really good teams.

The coordinator thing, especially on offense (because defense is going to be whatever the hell he wants it to be), will determine stuff moving forward. It's hard to overstate how bad BoB was at just basic game management and play calling - especially this season. We lost 2 games (and almost lost others) almost entirely due to stuff at the margins that was entirely due to coaching.
