Did I say that? No, mine doesn't either. Which is why I do most of my bitching away from this forum. I'm not so blatantly arrogant to think my opinion matters. It doesn't.

I post on this message board for fun and to educate the masses. Whether you feel enlightened or not by something I said, isn't my problem.
 
BOR's words sums it up ...

And for the record, when I said now is not the time to fire anyone, I only meant the Head Coach. I'd like to see our OC shown the door immediately. And have said that repeatedly.

I think next year if we get so much as an inkling of the same old tired coaching from this staff, then I want DRad to clean house.

I am not happy about what this coaching staff has achieved. Gailey is solely to blame for our last two losses..... He only makes change in the staff when something totally fails and to me that is a sign of a bad manager.

... Also, its pretty tough to fire a GT coach who could win 10 games. ...The entire college football scene was down in talent in my opinion and no one really comes to mind. Only two names come up, Whisenhunt and Tenuta (and I think Tenuta could be a gamble). Would Whisenhunt come? Who knows. .

..I do know that I trust DRad to make the right decisions, and to do that, I think we have to give him some time to settle into the position....
Now is not the time in my opinion. Last year unfortunately was not the time either due to the turnover in our Athletic Department. Prior to that I didn't think there was enough evidence for or against.

If you want to hang the last two losses on Gailey, hang them on him because "The Buck Stops There" or because "He Hired Nix," but the blame cannot fall on him directly. He ensured that when he gave Nix the job in the offseason.

Reggie Ball: defninitely responsible for interceptions, fumbles, craptastic throws, losing his cool, punching at people in the pile, failure to read defenses, failure to see wide open receivers, failure to deliver the ball to wide open receivers.

He could have pulled Reggie. Why didn't he? I find it very hard to believe that TB could have done a WORSE job than RB the last two games of the season. You play/coach to win the game. For that reason alone I blame CCG. He should have pulled him.

Gailey is to blame for the last two losses and only Gailey. At anytime he could have yanked his QB from the field and at anytime he could have gone up to Nix and said "WTF are you doing throwing low percentage pass plays when we have a RB averaging over 5 yards a carry?"

His coaching or lack thereof in both the UGA and Wake game was abysmal in every facet except the one he does not deal with which is the defense.

But I do like the word "Craptastic"!!

However, some on this board want to sugar coat and spin everything.....Yet, we're supposed to be better next year according to some because why again??? An inexperienced qb and maybe no CJ... got it. :rolleyes:

Speaking of spin, I don't believe I've EVER read anyone mentioning we'll be better BECAUSE CJ will be gone. Yet I constantly read others quoting this. Our receiving group will not be better talentwise next year due to our losing CJ. Our receiving group will have better STATS next year due to our losing RB.
 
Ball is leaving, but Calvin is leaving too. He pretty accouted for 2/3 to 3/4 of our passing game. There is no telling how his departure will impact the running game either.

Who is going to be our go to WR next year? James Johnson?

IF what I hear is true, Demaryius Thomas could become the go to guy. I heard it was a tough decision to redshirt him, even with Calvin playing, and that he has made a lot of developmental progress this year.

Will be interesting seeing him get reps in spring practice. Also will be interesting to see a 6'5" QB known for his accuracy.

Again, Law_Bee did not state we would be better BECAUSE we are losing CJ. He stated we would be better IN SPITE of losing him.

Ok, you just lost all credibility by quoting Lawbee as holding the group consensus. Now its quite obvious you don't pay attention on this board. Lawbee hardly holds the majority opinion on this board. Lawbee spins EVERYTHING and his viewpoints are so one dimensional, there's not many who agree with him. Arguing with him is like arguing with Rainman about what time Judge Whopner comes on TV. It doesn;t matter, because when it comes down to it, he's a retard. Actually he's not a retard, but he does like to bait the board with sun shiney happy thoughts that sound like they belong in a shot of bo-tox.

There's two ways to respond to lawbee... 1.) Don't and 2.) Laugh. He has as much knowledge of Gt football as blackprix he's just the stone cold opposite.

I think the main reason that he has accounted for the much of our passing game is because Ball is not good at reading defenses. Most of the time, he is going to go a certain guy no matter what. We have talent at WR, but its hard to show this if your QB play is lacking. I think our 2nd string guys looked good when Bennett was in there.

JJ will likely be our best WR, assuming CJ leaving, he'll have the 7th most receiving yards of all the ACC WRs coming back. He had more yards than any other #2 in the conference, top 10 in ACC in yards per catch this year.

The running game should benefit from an improved passing game. We were 2nd to last in passing the conference this year, yet Choice still led the conference in rushing. Being able to attack the middle will prevent the LBs and safeties from playing up so hard on us, like we've seen every game for the past 3 or 4 years. As a result, expect our RBs to be able to get more holes from our veteran OL, and break more big runs.

"no matter what" is the nuts on, square in the middle, on the sweetspot remark.

The absolute truth is, we will be starting all over again. I happen to believe that the offense will be loads better next year, even w/o CJ. Yes, that is a shame.
 
We return 7 starters on D and 7-8 starters on O so it is fair to expect that we will be a better team. The one big question mark is that freshman QB issue, but I am optimistic that someone will rise to the top and do a credible job.
 
Definitely the play calling is QB dependent

I can think of 4 slants over the middle attempted by TB this year. So the play calling is obviously very QB dependant.

WracerX, I can't recall when he said it but either Chan or Coach Nix commented earlier in the season that they do have two different game plans for each game depending on who is behind center.

Depending on who is behind center? I think that actually called for only one game plan then.

They have a Good Reggie plan and a Bad Reggie plan? The differences must be subtle - they escaped my notice entirely.
