With the news that Georgia has hired yet another staff member of the football program…
Blake Shrader, a former safety at North Jackson High and Auburn University, has joined Georgia’s staff as a quality control coordinator for Jeremy Pruitt’s defense.
Shrader, 29, signed with Auburn in 2004 and played mostly on special teams during his career with Tommy Tuberville’s Tigers. He helped coach Auburn for a couple of years before leaving to become a defensive graduate assistant at South Alabama.
His first full-time assistant opportunity occurred in 2013, when he was cornerbacks coach at Jacksonville State. This past season, he was director of player personnel at UAB, which was forced to shut down its program in December.
… I thought this might be an appropriate time to conduct yet another reader poll, the inspiration for which is a reader comment from December.
Senator, I’d like to see a poll similar to the one you did on CMR on McGarity. Here are the categories:
Break everyone into two groups: Alum or non-alum and have each group pick one:
(1) I support McGarity and the BM hierarchy.
(2) McGarity is the problem and he needs to go.
(3) The BM hierarchy, not McGarity, is the problem – they all need to change. McGarity is essentially a puppet.
My response at the time was that I wanted to wait a bit to see how events played out. I think a fair way to characterize my feelings about that would be pleasantly surprised. So let’s see how you guys feel about that.
Besides your vote, what I’m just as interested in seeing is whether the developments over the last three months have changed your mind in any way about how the football program is being managed. Let me know in the comments about that.
