Believe a HC should leave the DC alone unless there are glaring mistakes being made.....uh, um, a certain CTG come to mind?

Truth.

Will say this. A good leader should never allow himself to be put into a situation that occured with grantham. grantham came in with his NFL "halo", only problem with that, which those of us at UGA found out . . . . even the NFL does not want grantham back. Back to back defensive coordinators that were chosen by richt. That is not ugly, it is what is called an "absolute".

I agree wlayton, at this point richt is trying hard to stay away from the situations that faced Bowden and Brown. Best way, stay away from "progress".

Lots of weight being put on the shoulders of Jeremy Pruitt. If many here read different blogs, many out there think that Pruitt can turn our program around by himself. Jeremy Pruitt is not Nick Saban. At this point Jeremy Pruitt is the young defensive coordinator that has his finger in the hole in the dike.

We will see just how broad Pruitt's shoulders are soon. This is the first real "test" he has faced. I know that he was the defensive coordinator at FSU, but please remember this, he had a lot of talent in Tallahassee. Do we have the same amount of talent in Athens, won't take us long to find out. Clemson, South Carolina.

Boy does that hit the nail SQUARELY on the head.

Now THAT is funny!!


GOOD.....kinda "dovetails" with saying he didn't want to go there and that "hopefully" he'll leave those answers to his DC.

Exactly wlayton.. you said it first, lol

I just worded it a bit more succinctly in order to clear up any possible ambiguities.

I do remember that Pruitt had a lot of talent in Tallahassee, Buc... but here is what gives me hope.

In scooby's thread about what it is that makes a coordinator be able to make the transition to successful HC, I mentioned one thing was an ability to recognize the right situation for the right guy before accepting the job.

CJP was in a great spot as the DC of the National Champs... loads of talent to work with for the next several years, yes?

Sure we gave him more money, but one or two more seasons with all that talent and he could start writing his own checks for whatever amount he chose.

So why risk ruining his future for such a short term gain if it was just about getting that money today instead of tomorrow? The answer is he wouldn't unless he was batsnip crazy. So in my opinion, CJP wouldn't have came here and risked failure and a ruination of his future HC chances if he was not confident that he could prove something with UGA's talent. He knew we had the athletes.

If he comes here and takes this same bunch and turns them into a good D, then he proves he knows what he's doing (and that our only issue prior to his arrival was a bozo leading the charge). That cements his ability...to not have just walked into an already coached up locker room and just been able to "maintain".

Coming here and succeeding will prove that he can take talent and do something with it where someone else couldn't. Key thing there is talent. I doubt he comes here if he doesn't strongly believe we have something on that side of the ball that just needs a little competent coaching to be serviceable, and strong coaching to soon be great.

Thanks for having my back....and using the big words too.


(don't care about 1st...it dovetailed together etc)

I like it when someone displays ambition, lol
