You can probably poll former players and get as many different opinions as you will get on here.

I'm going to say this now on January 6th, but CJ Wiley will contribute greatly next season as a freshman. Kid is a STUD!

Other notable players have come out and said that it's Searles, and they're right.
Knowshon is the only former player to question Bobo.

I watched a bit of the video and watched his Kentucky game video. It's easy to couch coach but the missed assignments that we had with O line this year was baffling. Just so many times you think the RB was going back to the sidlines saying "thanks guys for letting me get blown up." I never heard Kirby address it or be asked a question but he's smart guy. He really should hire an offensive analyst like this guy to help the offensive staff go through film. Maybe they are and the OL players we have are just terrible.

Surely you don’t think there aren’t a # of former players who think play calling is an issue ?

Those who know ball know that the line is the real problem.

I am not close friends with Mike, nor do I need him to be successful to fill a hole in my life. I don’t think he is perfect and he needs to evolve like all good coaches need to do. He is a UGA guy and a DGD.
Can we do better than him? Maybe. It’s more than just play calling these days.
Bottom line, there were several areas of the offense that need to be addressed.
Big ones were execution of blocking, getting open on routes, and catching.
If we did the above at a championship level, the OC conversation would be about which team is gonna steal him.

Searles is the issue

There have been games where the playcalling looked positively inspired, thanks to execution by the players. There are others where the guys on offense couldn't get out of their own damned way, play-to-play.
I think we need new blood at OC, much like Monken was. If the jury is out on Bobo, I think we could survive another year, so long as the guys begin to remember that they can catch a football and block to prevent the QB from getting murdered.
That said, Searles has to go.
I'd rather have a 3* QB behind a 5* OL than a 5* QB struggling behind a 3* line.

But isn't that on the oc to ensure we are doing th see things?
Oc is like a CEO not just a playcaller.
I blame Bobo for not getting these thanks fixed. If not him then who?

Then fire Kirby if its the CEO?

On a side note, Kirby has not been acting like himself from before the SEC and on.

This is a lot of it IMO.

The players still have to execute during the game.
If it's an issue over the long-term like it was with the OL this season, then ultimately that's in Searles for not coaching them properly

Mims and to a greater extent Sedrick Van Pran were perhaps a little under-appreciated last year. We apparently aren't as plug and play on the OL as we'd like to be.
Those two positions seem to be where most of the frickups are happening. And of course the TE's have fricked up a lot of blocks in the run game that Brock Bowers ( And Darnell in 21/22) did not frick up.

getting open on routes
This has not been mentioned enough. Not only were our receivers dropping passes but they weren't creating separation either. Brock and McConkey were great route runners that created separation and then also created yards after the catch. We need a lot more of that.

I think Bobo schemed a lot of those guys open and often. The problem is the QB doesn't have time for the route to develop before he's getting horse cock in his face, and when he does have time and gets the ball to the receiver, the receiver fricking drops it.
Even on this most recent brooks austin breakdown, there are several plays where the WR routes are en route to being wide open, but Gunner never has a chance to see it or throw to it because of too many horse cocks in his face.

Yeah we could definitely use NFL all stars on our roster. I fear that's not going to be the case most years. Ergo, having a creative coordinator that can get just a normal Division 1 WR open through scheme would be awesome.
And that's the frustrating thing about Bobo. He has plays like the Cash Jones Wheel route that are nicely designed, but they are too rare.
But I also agree with the argument that our pass catching talent sucked this year. They definitely left some plays out there.
Just a frustrating season and offensive unit. Better players will help, but I think an upgrade at play caller would also help.

If anything, normally a season like this one has everyone sitting in a room looking for answers and that's a good thing. The recruiting at WR does look solid and we also added a speedy guy in Zach Branch. I feel like the WR core is an easier fix. The OL / RB room are probably the biggest issue. UGA historically can run the rock and this year we just never found it. I think Frazier is a nice back but we need more dudes in that room and we need a better line - Top to bottom.
