Not only does Georgia walk away from paying Jim Chaney more than any other offensive coordinator in America, it gets a little ching ching back from the Vols.
That’ll put a smile on McGarity’s face.
Now that I think about it, that contract will probably do the same for Jimmy Sexton.
Direct deposited into Sam Pittman’s checking account, I’m assuming

Insane that Tennessee fans seem uniformly excited about this hire. Here is how UT finished in yards/play in the SEC with Chaney as OC 2009-2012:
7th, 9th, 10th, 4th
That was in a 12-team SEC. An absolutely god awful tenure, and they are over the moon to pay top dollar to have him back on the sideline.

I’m in total agreement. I was quite happy with the offense. I thought Chaney was a great hire for Kirby as he was just starting out. Chaney’s experience could allow Kirby to offload some responsibilities to him on offense. Kirby now has three years under his belt and can stand to take a risk if he wants.

That’s nuts. But as with Malzahn at Auburn, if Georgia’s rivals want to overpay moderately above average coaches, it’s fine by me.

For that kind of money, I don’t blame him for leaving. If he’s planning to retire soon anyway, he can just sandbag it for three years.

Fear not Tarkenton is in the Butts-Mehre to give McGarity his choice and approval.
Those two will decide and let Smart know.
We all thought this was the new Georgia Way with Smart.
Apparently back to back losses changed McGarity’s mind. He put back on his green shades and opened the door to the vault to park that money for an outdoor hockey rink.
Saban has sent a plane to Athens to ask Smart if he wants to come back.
