December 18Dec 18 If PK really did want to head back west would Texas “firing” him be doing him a favor? I am assuming he is owed his full contract and now he has no buyout allowing him to pick whichever job he wants. Edited December 18Dec 18 by Not a Sock

The bend but don’t break is great until it breaks and the pass portion has been broken 4/5 years.

December 18Dec 18 The bigger disappointments were on offense this past season, especially early--offensive line, and run game, with a young qb. However, the shit show began in the offseason when we decided to cancel the spring game. There were many awful decisions being made that had nothing to do with defense. While the defense wasn't always aggressive, it did shut down the run, which is always the most basic step. The offense flat out stunk for much of the season. Edited December 18Dec 18 by Mdhorn
December 18Dec 18 Not the coaching news I was expecting at all. I appreciate everything PK did here but I’m not sad to see his style of defense go even if it was effective 90% of the time.
December 18Dec 18 2 hours ago, Hank_Hill said: The football board response is going as expected I just ventured over there and it took them 8 pages to figure out that Sark probably didn’t “fire” PK. Also, since Will was hired, Flood is definitely coming back.
December 19Dec 19 I mean, I like Mischamp and he has a better understanding of the SEC than most, but PK did fine. He can't control the offendive ineptitude. Fire Akina and find someone else. Why fire PK + Akina, but Orphey is cool? I mean, he did show improvement during the season progression, but this totally sounds like desperation mode for Sark. I think CDC didn't just explain why we didn't make it, but after the last 2 seasons and being wingless against the two warm bodies on the schedule, he was forced to make the change. I guess the good thing about Mischamp is he wants his players to kill everyone. He's the most passionate DC I've ever seen. He's still the only DC I've ever seen who almost ripped his own face off to get to the ears. At least I'll always have the memory of Sergio Kindle sending Taylor Potts to an uncharted dimension, so he knows when to send the dogs. Georgia's defense was much, much better with Mischamp advising.

December 19Dec 19 Dunlap on OB said he had heard throughout the last year there were frustrations with some of the LBs and DBs that the scheme PK was running wasn’t putting them in position to succeed based on alignment (leaving seams wide open, etc)

December 19Dec 19 2 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said: I love Freshwater, but fuck he's going to be a nightmare to recruit against. At least it's usually LSU/AGGY battling for certain players, and we usually have about 3-4 we all three go after (not even mentioning Bama, Ore, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, etc.) but with Mischamp at DC, he's a willing recruiter, loves Austin (he still has a house here after all of those years, and I doubt he ever thought he would be back). I Do know he and his wife spend time in Austin a few times a few a year for vacation, so he's very well acquainted with the schools, staff, players all over Texas. I will bet Bo Barnes, Lefau, Ty Smith, Atkinson, Brad Spence, Hero Kanu, Justus Terry, Myron Charles, Sharma, Colin Simmons, Maraad Watson, Johnathan Cunningham. Zina Umeozulu, Richard Wesley and Smith Orogbo will be dogs coming inside or off edge. PK was quiet, Mischamp is not. Practices just got bumped to 11. I wish the best for Vasek, but it's time we let that dream go. He cannot stay healthy, and that's not his fault it's his body telling him it's time to hang it up before anything worse happens. Does that mean Mischamp is a better DC? It's hard to tell, but what he does have going for him is he's been in this league and with Georgia in particular since 2021, and they won the title in 2022 and 2023, and have made the playoffs 5 times. He's been part of their CFP run in 4/5 times they reached it. They made it once in 2017 before he arrived in 2021, and then made them in 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025. Dude has helped win them 2 titles in the last 4 years. I'll hold out hope that he does a better job recruiting defensively, but also helps the defense grow first before actually sending the dogs to kill the opposite team. I think it's great we got him so we can concentrate on shoving Day and co heads in a locker, and since Hartline is gone, their WR recruiting may go down. He was elite-elite at recruiting WRs. So glad that mf'er is gone. Now all we need to do is convince him that to branch out and make more connections he needs to try his hand in an equally tough conference to see how well he can recruit against the likes of Bama, Auburn, Florida, Miami, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Aggy, LSU (Who is arguably 1b to Ohio State WR recruiting), Ole Miss, etc. See what he can do there and help us out since Jackson doesn't seem to be developing WR's, he just takes a portal guy or two who have already been developed and it makes him look more competent than he is. I'm all for gutting it all and starting over, Flood literally killed this team by himself with his lazy ass recruiting three-star kids and hoping they work OK out, rather than getting higher ranked kids that aren't a total project, use the portal to bring in immediate starters so we aren't having to laugh at the absurdity of seeing Connor Stroh out there moving his knees up and down, standing straight up like he's climbing a latter, and is literally so weak he can't move a DE/3/5-tech. He's just a dummy standing there waiting to get abused. His PFF grade that I last saw had him in the high 40s to mid 50s. Abasement.
December 19Dec 19 At least our linebacker play will get back to where it needs to be. Will be forever worried about the back four though. Was PK not a good recruiter? I have been wondering by why so many players are leaving. Sure seems like something has been brewing
December 19Dec 19 The coordinator I most wanted to be fired is the one that handles Special Teams.That dude also coaches TEs that keep going to the league and Ryan Niblett, who saved our asses multiple times this year.

I don't know about all of that, but I know Mischamp and Lane are really, really tight outside of football. Like, they take their boys fishing all the time.

I learned that when listening to Lane's interview with Theo Vonn (whatever you think about him, this is a totally different interview, and it's not layered with sexual innuendos. Theo took this interview extremely seriously, and you can tell. It pays off.) They went pretty deep (NTTAWWT) about friendship, trust, how to kill a team when your friend is on the other side (weirdly, they do discuss before the weekend of this or that happens, feel free to make an example out of us to show the players how humiliating it was). Recruiting is off-limits. It's all man for himself, so no Mack Brown queerity. But once the seasons are over, they're over. They spend Christmas together at Saban's house with Sark, Kirby, Mischamp, Lane, and several other friends and family, and a lot of coaches. He said they do not talk about football during the holidays. They all have their kids and families and usually stay with Saban until after the first of January. They're all extremely close from the Saban tree. Which I like a lot. It means they actually care about those people and their well-being, and will help at the drop of a hat. He said it's so crazy seeing a hard ass like Anyway, the interview was really good, even if you don't care for Theo. He didn't do his usual dirty talk, he actually kept it real and on topic. He asked great questions, he's also very knowledgeable. I'm still floored he graduated college, even if it is LSU. This interview takes place months before the season, so no talk of LSU from Lane.

He knows what he's doing, what he wants, he recruits, he's relentless, and he gets to coach a big name, blue blood powerhouse that he knows all about. He's been to the campus since Sark has been coach. There's a video on YouTube of him visiting a few years ago before we were about to leave for the CFP to take on Washington. He's seen talking to Sweat, Murphy, Baxter, Barron, Collins., AD Mitchell, and some other guys I can't remember.
December 19Dec 19 So in the end-of-season program audit, Sark has identified the defense as the failure of this team’s success and the area that needs drastic overhaul? He might not exactly be the genius some labeled him as. Edited December 19Dec 19 by The Ace of Aces

I really have a new found respect for both Saban and Freshwater. You can tell one is completely dialed in but once the whistle blows he let's it all go. While the other you can tell he has grown up. No more job hopping after a year, he just finally settled, turned down several jobs, and then LSU opened, and that would be hard to turn down. They ALL love Saban.

December 19Dec 19 Popular Post My sweet Lord. Reading the thread since the Muschamp hiring is borderline exhausting. Some of the hawtest takes on this recruiting board, ever, on here between pages 45 and 48. I was quoting posts at first and by the time I reached 20, I just deleted them all, said “fuck it” and made myself a rye manhattan. If you can’t be excited by the Muschamp hire and all that that implies, wow. PK did really well, but he basically recused himself from having to be involved with talent evaluations and was regularly pining to get back to the west coast. Muschamp had agreed to take the DC role when Sarkisian was hired and helped handpick the staff. His wife stunned everyone and refused to agree to moving back to Austin. She loves Austin and returns several times a year to visit with friends and shop. She didn’t want to leave while the kids were in college. So Muschamp had to bow out. PK was a great back up, but Muschamp is who Sarkisian wanted from the jump. Muschamp is hands on with talent evaluation, with all of the game planning, has deep knowledge of the Georgia nemesis, endless energy, and will never be a yes man. He will tell Sarkisian straight up when he thinks he’s fucking up. The guy used to eat Greg Davis alive, in front of Mack Brown.
December 19Dec 19 Being reported by rumor mill PK was in active discussions to go to USC...so we'll see.
December 19Dec 19 Another reason to be excited, Muschamp will absolutely offer his input on strength and conditioning. I think we are going to see a different approach this offseason.

Sadly, it appears that I order way more manhattans and martinis in public than either of you. I’ve ordered both from bartenders all over this country and they will ask for clarity or often just make a manhattan with bourbon. Most default a martini to vodka or ask which way as well. This really isn’t even a discussion. If you think I’m off on it, try ordering from different places than your frequent hangout.
