JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I will be shocked if McGee comes to AU. I'd love to have him but he has everything we can give him and a really good team already at UGA. Plus we can't give him a position of more importance than he already has, unless OC???

RB recruiting would go up, up, up. He has great stability right where he is though and AU may be considered a risk. That said, he may feel he can recruit on the same level regardless of where he goes, esp. if he chooses to come home. As we have seen many times, he could be using this as power to negotiate better pay at UGA. If we offer him double, maybe UGA won't be willing to meet it.

Harsin is going to need someone to familiarize him on the workings of the Alabama/Georgia/Tennessee mafia on the recruiting trail. He needs to understand what he is dealing with down here.

Georgia will not want to let him go at all... it always seems that once a name goes public it never happens. Once word gets out that we are wanting a coach, the university usually pays more To keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Muschamp is a just a mess if we hired him. I view him as A guy who would move in and start looking for a HC job somewhere, anywhere before he called one kid.

japantiger 4,051 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Recruiting is the life blood of the program...and recruiting is currently in the shitter. So getting a recruiting coordinator 1st; given their is another signing date coming up, seems like a logical move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,043 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Maybe it is a good thing Andy Avalos is the leading candidate to succeed Harsin at Boise. It looks like the Oregon faithful are not satisfied with their defense: https://fishduck.com/2020/12/oregons-defense-is-a-cascading-failure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do nothing for Auburn but take anymore money we gave him. Look somewhere else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,043 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 One other thing. I would not describe Avalos' defense as a "3-3-5", I would describe it as a "Hybrid/Multiple 4-2-5". I would also describe Kevin Steele's the same way. Some have described Steele's defense as a 3-4, because they consider the BUCK to be an linebacker, not a lineman. There are no true "3-4s" and "4-3s" any more. And you can't go by one-gap or two-gap schemes, because most defenses run both gap schemes, some at the same time. At times in the past, Auburn ran a "Bear Front" with Derrick Brown on the nose in a Zero-Tech, Marlin Davidson in a 4i, and the other DT in a 4i. Avalos and Jeff Schmedding use 4-3 terms like "DE", "NT", "DT", and "STUD". The STUD or "STand Up Defensive end" being like Muschamp's and Steele's "BUCK". And both will move interior linemen around in different gap schemes. Even "3-4" teams are running these hybrid schemes. Bama does a 4-2 look a lot against passing teams or on passing downs, but they usually 2-gap the interior guys in 2-Tech over the offensive guards, and will have the Jack OLB in a three-point stance with his hand down. Washington does something similar in their "2-4-5" pass rush package with a 4-2 look but stands up both OLBs. Dave Aranda did something similar with his nickel package at LSU. I think the one advantage a "4-3" style defense has is each player is a different archetype, which can make it easier to populate the positions. Big, but shorter guys are a good fit for the NT. Big, but taller guys are a better fit for the 3-Tech. Lighter guys are a better fit for the DE/SDE/5-Tech, and the smaller guys with burst speed are the fit for the BUCK/STUD hybrid position.
