swampdawg, spoken as well as I have seen in many posts, both here and elsewhere.
Actually when I read what is going on with our football team, I look closely at what the players and the "newer coaches" have to say.
When I read the work "recruiting" takes me instantly to coaches like McClendon, Brown, Sale and the entire defensive staff.
I do know this for a fact . . . . Schottenheimer has been heavily involved in recruiting out in the field, not sitting at his desk waiting for the recruits to come to him. Big difference. If Schottenheimer continues to run with McClendon, as he has done often, we will see positive results.
Regardless of the talent that is in Athens today, it does not stop there. That was the program before this new group of coaches, both offensive and defensive said "whoa", there is a better way. Sometimes "change" is better suited when it comes from the bottom. Top is not leaving, got that out of my mind, or pushed it to the back of my mind, wanting to see what the new hires come up with.
One thing that I have not seen mentioned, from extensive reading, Richt did not call the plays against ULM, Schottenheimer called 100% of the plays. Same will be the case in Nashville. Schottenheimer was hired to run the offense, Pruitt to run the defense. At this point, don't have an issue with either.
