Have to ask this question AD5.
We had a defensive coordinator when our head coach arrived, VanGorder. Don't believe that our head coach approved of the loud method that VanGorder exhibited. Even though he was effective, and replaced by a quieter Willie. Appears that VanGorder saw some things early on that the rest of us were not aware of.
Now there is some talk about tension between the loud defensive coordinator and quiet head coach in Athens.
sadlerdawg, remind you of some that have crossed your path in the Corps?

We almost lose the ut game because of a blocked punt, only to turnaround a few weeks later, and have the same crap happen against Vandy and it does cost us the game. We drive down the field to tie the game at clemson, to have a bad snap. I can handle directional kicking, maybe a bad punt, or a bad return, every once in a while. What I can't handle is blocked punts, muffed catches, returns for TD's etc. Those are the ones that really pp me off. Especially when they seem to be reoccuring. I am also very curious as to when was the last time that we actually had a designed return? We are lacking in the return game very badly.
Like I have said, it is unfortunate CMR can't be an elite coach. He has many of the qualities needed. He knows one side of the ball very well. His offenses are always pretty dang good. But the fact he doesn't truly realize the importance of special teams amazes me. Same can be said about the defense. Not being able to look yourself in the mirror and admit that you messed up seems to be the quality that he is missing. I think I would have more respect for CMR if he came out and said "Look, I thought I could handle the ST, but I am going to need some outside help" and "I thought CTG was going to be our guy, but I was wrong".
I also firmly believe that we need to find someone like Scott Cochran. I really challenge everyone to looks this guys up. Think someone like that would make a difference? I sure as heck do.

AD5.....man is the word enthusiasm an understatement!!
He looks and reminds me a little of Gruden.....wild eyed and borderline crazy.

As far as Van Gorder, he was a very good defensive coach. Probably still is. Not discrediting the fact that CMR could have a problem with the loud coaches, but Van Gorder wants to be the main man. Has been that where everywhere he has went. Believe Van Gorder and CTG are a lot alike. Very big egos.
On another recruiting front, I love UGA. But because I love them, going to be honest. Our facilities outside of Sanford Stadium are not up to par with the "elite's".
