I don’t know if Newman’s gonna work out at Georgia, but I’m pretty sure Coley wouldn’t have helped.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Genuine question (I must be missing something):
I totally get why Coley got so much heat last season. The results on the field were obvious.
But why does Hankton not get similar heat?
I would guess that most Dawg fans don’t even know his name. When the WRs ain’t very good, it seems that the WR coach deserves some of the blame.

Why do you even bother reading what Hale puts out? He selectively chooses stats to suit the narrative he wants to go with. And he has seemed hell bent on being anti-UGA since he left the Georgia beat back in 09. He is an ACC sycophant if I’ve ever seen one that wasn’t named Danny Kanell
LikeLike
Granted I don’t read a lot of his stuff since he left, but he is/was damn good writer. I don’t seem him the same as Kanell at all. Maybe it’s writer vs. talking head. I can count on Hale to be honest, even if I don’t particularly like what he’s saying. YMMV, of course.
LikeLike
He can be a good writer and still cherry pick stats to suit a narrative. That’s modern journalism for you.
Jamie Newman’s stats from Nov – Jan in one year tell us literally zero about how he will fare as Georgia’s QB. The fact that a serious journalist had to reach this deep to pick an unflattering stat to make some prediction about how he will fare on a completely new team is a joke. All it means is that Newman had a bad Nov – Jan in one year. Really.
Btw, this isn’t to say Newman will be a superstar – he may turn out great, or he may suck. But in this case, Hale is just fishing for clickbait, nothing more.

I assume the Cager stat was literally with him on the field and off the field. I expected a drop-off but not one that steep. The Chicago Bulls weren’t as good when 23 was sitting on the bench getting a breather. The Edmonton Oilers’ shifts weren’t as good as when Gretzky’s shift was off the ice. The 49ers’ passing game wasn’t quite as good when Jerry Rice wasn’t on the field.
My comment isn’t meant to say Cager was the best athlete on the field, but at least until Jake developed the same trust in #1 he had in #15, of course, the passing game would drop off without his availability.
When Cager wasn’t available due to injury, the offense suffered.
To David Hale, thanks for telling us that water is wet.

It’s an interesting chicken and the egg thing; but with Fromm he always seemed to have a “go to” receiver. Someone who he was comfortable with and trusted. When Holloman and Cager were gone last year, he lacked that.
Which may have led to his fundamentals tanking as he tried to force it. Could have been a negative feedback loop; the receivers weren’t as good, so he became worse by trying to force it. Coupled with a lack of leadership to fix it= our 2019 woes.
LikeLike
Yeah, when Cager got injured Fromm still would have had Holloman as his go to guy….wait…..what happened to Holloman? Oh that’s right, Kirby kicked him off the team. Karma can be a real bitch.

Kirby addressed WR shortcomings after the SEC championship and getting 4 WRs in the 2020 class.

If Greg is the guy who actually was behind JJ being dismissed from the team then meddled with football operations and should be fired for that right there. Likely JJ not playing is the reason why Georgia lost to SC and thereby got eliminated from the playoff by losing the SECCG to LSU. Greg is not in charge of football. Greg is in charge of bean counting. If Kirby allowed Greg to determine discipline for the football team then Kirby is at fault too. Do you think for one minute that the Bama AD can kick a player of the Bama team? If what you said is true that is the most Georgia Way thing I have ever heard of.

BTW choking your partner during sex is now a commonplace thing for younger people. Women sometimes choke their male sex partners too.
