7th round is hardly Pro Caliber talent. 7th round means a coach is willing to take a chance on you.
Anything after the 3rd means about exactly doo-doo vs. the walk ons in rates of success.
You waited all this time for one little tiny, "I told you so," didn't you? I know it's been hard with GT recruiting so many good players and winning more than 2 games this year.
I wish the best for Andy and I'm glad for his opportunity, but this is not an, "I told you so," yet (and by the way, Did You tell us about Andy, or is this just another fortuitous time to take a shot at any head coach not named O'Leary?). He has some talent, maybe enough to stay in the NFL, but until he does stay, I would suggest harnessing the heckling.
And who exactly, "ran off Andy Hall?" I remember a Coach who was disapointed that Andy wouldn't stay and see if he could change his fortune throughout an entire season of possible injuries and talent evaluation.
Andy heard the news he didn't want to hear and he quit a week after. Maybe he, himself, after watching AJ and Bilbo, felt he wouldn't win the competition. Maybe he thought he was better, but wouldn't change Gailey's mind.
Either way, he gave the opportunity zero chance to work itself out. I bet Al Pena feels like CG is a little better coach than he thought last year also.
AJ would have done pretty well at Delaware also. I promise. Andy may have done better, but you can't argue AJ didn't face MUCH more complicated and talented ACC & SEC defenses. Andy didn't even face lower tier D-1 defenses on a regular basis.
AJ led us to big wins over NC State and UVA. Andy was picked behind Bilbo and Suggs. Every time we had the opportunity to see what the back up could do under Chan we had poorer production from each, proving Chan was accurate in his assessments.
Bilbo at Fresno, AJ at UGA after Reggie went out. God love all these kids. I do. But Chan has hardly been proved a poor evaluator of talent when we have been handed our wishes for alterior personnel.
Like I say. I hope the best for Andy and he might do very well, but to say you can compare what AJ and Andy have been though is apples and oranges.
Please take your venom somewhere else.
