Kirby Smart's Offseason Checklist

1. Fire Coley
2. Find OC that will implement more spread schemes
3. Aggressively pursue dual threat QB in the transfer portal
4. Meet with Fromm and tell him his starting spot isn't safe
5. Aggressively go after the top WR in the transfer portal
No one should be surprised at what we saw yesterday, it was the final straw - in my opinion - of the Fromm era. He's a DGD but he's a statue back there and he's regressing. Kirby screwed up the Fields situation, and I'll give him a pass on that so long as he takes swift action on this offense and brings in a quality offensive mind to call plays and goes after top-tier WR talent, not just big guys who can block on the edge for our "run game" or whatever it is the national media thinks we do well.
As I've said, along with numerous other posters, this offense is broken and a drastic change needs to happen. Our team right now is basically what LSU was a few years ago before they took the steps to fix their situation. If Kirby tries to run it back next year with the same offensive staff/personnel then I have serious doubts about our program in the future. What he does during this off-season is going to tell us all we need to know about Kirby Smart.

Fromm era.
It sure as hell feels like the end of something. It’s been good times for the most part. If the young man comes back it needs to be with a renewed something, can’t change who you are but can always do more. Fromm is a damn good dawg just like Kirby.

It's pretty sad to see Fromm fall so hard. Dude seemed like another Aaron Murray and then this year happened. I don't know if it's coaching or mental but he has regressed horribly

? Aaron Murray was hated I mean hated worse by our fanbase until his senior season. He could never win the big game. The hate I'm seeing is similar.

Your post is spot on, however #5 is the only one I think he’ll do.

I loved him as our qb.

I don't see any way Kirby gives another QB a shot at starting. Kirby is way to loyal to him. Hopefully this off-season is a lot better than the last one.

1- Hire some assistants

I loved Aaron Murray but damn did he get shite on by a ton of posters on this board.

The OP is not even a UGA fan folks

Foo gonna get on you for attacking him rather than his points.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 9:09 pm to djsdawg
You aren’t either. Just trolls trolling.

I really liked Murray as well. Right now Fromm is behind him. Fromm needs an actual QB Coach. Rumor is he has been struggling with injuries this year. Regardless, I’m counting on a big senior season and he takes the next step.

Fromm has one two major games, Murray zero.

Nah, you have no points any longer. Just rehashed ignorant attacks that ignore context. You’re the type of person I wish couldn’t vote in elections.

True. But it was the same QB coach as last year so there's that

No one is buying your contextual whines. That’s just a strategy of yours to deflect. Due to your excuse making sessions, You went from a well respected poster to a joke this season, just as Fromm did on the field. I hope both of you make major improvements because I don’t think this board can handle another year of this.

This will be an unpopular opinion but I think Kirby has already peaked as HC at the University of Georgia. Recruiting appears to already be eroding on the strength of big game losses where coaching was the obvious weakness. Unless he is willing to change his philosophy and become a CEO type with great coordinators, UF or (don’t laugh) UT will win the east next year and what we will have going forward is a defensive minded, edgier version of Richt. Did we fire a 10 win a year coach for an 11 win a year coach that still can’t win the big one?
Only time will tell.
Only time will tell.

Sadly that's the way it looks to me as well. Kirby appears to be stuck in the former Alabama era when Defense won championships with game manager type QB's. That age has long since passed with dynamic athletic QB's in innovative wide-open offenses winning the last 4 NC's. The sign came when Cam Newton won a NC for Auburn in 2010 with a solid but not great defense.

Actually we had co-QB coaches in 2018. Chaney and Coley. This year was the first year Coley was QB coach by himself. Fromm's regression was undeniable. I actually think Fromm's regression was a bigger deal then Coley's play calling. Either way Coley has been unimpressive.
