why did you post a pic of your mom?
 
All this talk about whether we should be cordial and help our rival is really lame. But it also ignores that we are hurting ourselves by not having our OC out recruiting.

I don’t want an OC that wants to (1) hurt us and (2) help Uga.

Nope, if this is something Buster wants, cut him loose and let him have it. He's a man, this is business. He needs to man up or he isn't ready to move up. Business decisions get in the way of feel goods all the time.

I really hope it's not that.

I can't really argue with any of that logic.

I feel like you hit on the real crux point at the end. "If this is something that Buster really wants..." - Not sure how much there is to that. I can understand wanted to finish what you started, but when you change jobs, you change jobs... This is why I think it might just be Kirby running his mouth.

The thing is, that doesn't seem to be true in college football. There are many cases of coaches continuing to do work for their old team during the playoffs while also being out recruiting for their new team.

I hate it, especially because it's Georgia. But at the same time I think it's disingenuous to say we need to step up and make big time hires; hire someone from a CFP team; then say we should fire him because he wants to do the same thing other hires from CFP teams do.

We like to talk about how GT is often ties our own hands and makes it difficult to succeed. Well, if we fire our new OC for wanting to do something that appears to be standard across the industry, that would be a pretty good example of putting ourselves at a disadvantage.

CFB stopped being a place of honor long time ago. It’s a business. If uga can pay someone $1.8M to choose them over Ohio State then you can’t really make an argument about standards in industry to let him finish what he started. This is not how businesses run. Are you kidding me? He’s an offensive analyst not an on field coach there. The only reason there is for him to go back is because he wants to see if they’ll hire him for OC, at which point we’ll need a new one anyway. He’s done here if he goes back.

Didn't Kirby himself do it? Dan Lanning, as well? Granted, they were actual coordinators, not analysts.

Kirby Smart was a DC yes. Thank you. Someone finally said it. He wasn’t an analyst.

Dan Lanning did it last year. So did another coach who I can't remember right now but they mentioned it during the game.

When Lanning was hired by Oregon my friend said he would pull double duty and I said that was ridiculous and would never happen. Then I looked into it and it turned out I was wrong. Apparently it happens pretty regularly. Unfortunately this was a year ago and I don't have all the names in front of me.
 
Guy gets a VP job at Coke after being a senior analyst at Pepsi for 3 years. He starts working at Coke. Pepsi realizes they ööööed up because this guy is the reason that department works well and they ask him to stay an extra month and help them finish the launch of this new product that’s going to make them the market leader. Some at Pepsi are even saying there’s a chance he may even get the VP job at Pepsi because the current VP is potentially getting hired by RC as CEO. Pepsi CEO comes out and says yeah we asked him if he can stay until after the launch. Coke hears about this and tell the guy they’ll have to move on to next candidate if he wants to go back to Pepsi. You see how this story reads? Very normal.

So if we were hiring one of Georgia's on-field coaches you would be fine with us letting that person continue to coach there for the playoffs?

The main issue isn't that Faulkner would be coaching for Georgia while employed by us, but specifically that he'd be coaching for them in an off field role?

I wouldn’t be fine with it but your whole industry standards applies to coordinators and on field coaches. Not analysts.
 
I can see both sides of it. I'm sure OCBF is pulling double duty and recruiting as well for us while helping the Dwags game plan.

There's not anything we can do about it as it's up to Key and OCBF, so......

I’m pretty sure Key will tell him he won’t have to make that hour long commute from Oconee anymore if he goes back to Athens.

@ThisIsAtlanta Bronco Mendenhall, Steve Sarkisian, Jeremy Pruitt, and Kevin Wilson are all other recent examples.

As Akinji points out though, these are all on-field coaches.
