Not taking anything away from Lanning but we weathered storm fine when we lost Tucker and Kirby
will always have his finger prints
on the defense but Monken is a different deal.
He's done a outstanding job and his creativity and play calling is the best since Kirby's been here.
Both are gonna get offers IMO but it's gonna depend on what kind of job they want.

Lanning is a young pup only 35 year old making 1.25m a year to coach championship football. He's like Kirby in that he's got plenty of time to pick his dream destination instead of jumping at the next mediocre opportunity.
Monken is a different story. If some school wanted to money-whip him with millions of dollars, I could see him doing it, just for financial purposes.

Agree. One thing I like about Monken is that he has been the first to truly showcase the TE and over the years we've had some good one's that went to the NFL only to shine but were afterthoughts while at UGA.

His 12 personnel package and our TE's create all sorts of mismatches and openings for the offense. Would have liked to have seen what Nauta would have done with Monken.

How much of this is scheme and how much of this is scheming based on the personnel you have? If your receiving room has taken a big hit, but your TE room is lit, an OC is going to design and call plays that play to strengths.

It may be the tail wagging the dog, but we've always had amazing TE talent, but each OC always manages to find a way to avoid getting them the ball, it would seem. I know there's only one ball to go around, but our 13 formations are the stuff dreams are made of.

We've had some great TE's, but have we ever had two elite tight ends, with a third really good TE?
Posted on 11/29/21 at 4:48 pm to deeprig9
Not at the same time, no

So logic would follow that you run more 12 and 13 personnel, especially with a decimated WR room.
I like Monken but this "offensive genius" stuff is laying it on a little thick.

Also, the night before a game, coaches and captains have "Check meetings" where the OC says something like "we're 3rd and 6, which of these three plays do you like best?" and the players answer, and coach highlights them on the sheet. It's not just Monken, it is Stet and the other leaders saying "Yes do the play with Brock on the sideline" etc.
If anything, Monken hasn't been fancy at all, his guitar sounds better because it's a vintage Les Paul through a vintage Fender Twin Reverb, when the opponent is playing a Korean knock-off Epiphone through a Peavey. Monken is a kid in a candy shop with this roster this year. So many players stepping up from obscurity to stardom, which isn't the norm.

I’d bet that Bowers is every bit as good, if not better. At this stage? No doubt.

Back to Lanning, I'll go with another hot take.
Yes, with Kirby as HC we'll never have a "shitty" defense, but being a Head Coach is a 70 hour a week job, and being a DC is also a 70 hour a week job. Kirby can't do both, or he'd fail at both. I truly believe him when he says Lanning et al are completely running the defense, and recruiting lights out as well. Sure, Kirby has input and veto and some "friendly" advice, often, but it really is Lanning who is running that defense full-time. I think losing him would be awful.

I have not hear, nor seen him mentioned for any job openings yet. I don't know if he would take a G5 job or a "lesser" team that is P5 or not. It will be interesting to watch.
I agree about defense. I wish we could keep Lanning, but if he goes we have choices there and with Kirby we will be ok.

With all the debate going on about Bennett's statistics, etc this is an area that has largely gone unnoticed. His leadership.

Agreed. The team rallies around him. I’ll admit i was wrong about stet. But after watching that Nolan smith interview a few weeks ago and him talking about Stet and how the team supports him, I’d say he is the man.

We'll see.
Obviously with bigger job openings
it creates a domino effect with lower tier opening plus schools like along VT,Duke,WSU and UW are now available.

I saw that, too. I was taken back by Smith's support. he seemed pretty sure about Bennett.

Just a hunch, but I think offers from the NFL is more of a threat.
