I won’t say it’s the biggest question of the spring, but it’s the most intriguing one to me:
Richt and Schotty have said multiple times that the offense won’t change much at all, but we’ll begin to see how much of that is coach speak and how much is true when spring practice starts today.
We all know Richt’s criteria in making the hire to replace Bobo, but there’s also this comment.
“If the staff doesn’t change at all, you’re still going to visit somebody to learn new ideas to stay on top of what’s going on out there,” Richt said. “When you change staff, then you have guys that live in house who maybe you would go visit, so you have that chance to exchange ideas and have it all come together to where it makes the most sense for us.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But it does make me wonder if Schottenheimer puts more of his mark on the offense than we might have otherwise expected. And, of course, what that leads to. Stay tuned.
