Dwags want access to Buster through playoffs...

UGA wants to keep Buster Faulkner through CFP

Currently an offensive analyst for the top-ranked Bulldogs, Buster Faulkner was hired last week by new Yellow Jackets coach Brent Key as offensive coordinator.

Smart is communicating with CBK and OCBF to keep him through the playoffs. Understandable. They obviously feel he is critical to the process they've had in place. Aside from his role in communicating with Stetson, OCBF's role in game planning is reportedly also highly valued.

I would imagine it's a difficult spot for OCBF to be in. Kirby indicated he has been communicating with CBK and OCBF regarding his continued involvement.

I would imagine OCBF is pretty busy in his new role at Tech. There isn't any shortage of work to be done. I would have expected this to have been worked out during the contract negotiations.

Hmm...

Surprised this wasn't worked out in the beginning. Hell, yes, he should allow it. First, you get Kirby to tell Nate to return. Second, you get some goodwill with the dwag-dominated BOR. Third, it doesn't matter that much because it's only going to be for one game.

I hope Key says they can suck on a big dick.

Honestly how is this going to work? The man is going to wear Tech gear and then be on the sideline in Dog shit during the game? öööö that shit.

Critical 3rd and goal for uga to ice the game late vs osu. “Throw the pick” OCBF whispers quietly into his qb’s ear. “Throw the pick” he repeats. His qb subconsciously complies. OSu returns the pick 99 yards for the go ahead TD ultimately winning 33-28.

Can he be on the sideline? I'm not sure what the rules for analysts are.

This looks like a good opportunity to make sure they lose their game to me.

I have zero problem with this as long as it does not interfere with his GT duties. We need to get over our fixation with UGA. Right now, we need to just focus on getting in the top half of the ACC.

Don't like it as a fan but this is a common occurrence with playoff teams and certainly shouldn't prevent the hire.

 

[00Burdell]

I think it would actually be a slight boost in our recruiting - to say to a young man, "oh, by the way, after we leave your home, Coach Buster is on his way to the CF Playoffs to tell Stetson Bennet what to do on every play".

Don't be short-sighted guys - we can parlay this.

In exchange for half the national championship trophy, you can rent him.

Make it happen.

Is there a recruiting dead period after ESD? I'd imagine CBK would need Falkner on the road recruiting now but it sounds like they'd just need him for the game. If it doesn't interfere with his Tech duties I don't see an issue.

Make it happen.

AND some kind of agreement that whenever the national championship is mentioned they have to say wtte, “earned in large part due to the gracious contributions of the Georgia Institute of Technology.”

Key needs to tell this leg humpers to öööö off and go roll around on some dead skunk in the yard. They’re not going to win a NC this year anyway.

I would expect that game planning as an analyst for an opponent you haven't previously scouted (Ohio State) would require a lot of time and focus. I know they have a lot of staff there, but you've got to review copious amounts of game film just to begin with. It's no small job.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

I've seen this somewhere before

 

[The Champ]

I don’t have a problem with it. Buster having a strong brand as OC, associated with a NC caliber offense and getting a walk on QB to NYC for the Heisman ceremony is a positive for our future offensive recruiting.

I believe Kirby coached Bama in the playoffs when he went to Georgia, and Key coached Bama OL in the same manner when he was hired here.

Sorry about that. I should have checked the other thread first. My bad.

 

[JJacket]

Let him finish out. Let's not get in a tit for tat with UGAg or any other school over someone's livelihood. It is only one game.

Co-sign. Let the man finish the season. Stop crying like a bunch of incels.

 

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

For any team other than Georgia, we probably wouldn't bat an eye.

Because it is Georgia, öööö 'em. motheröööööö better not spend a nanosecond helping them out while employed by Tech.
