I know I live in ATL and talk about how awesome it is a bit too much, but I love this airport. Yea, security is always 15-45 min, and that's annoying. Yea the clear line is always packed, but once you get passed security, you're good. You can go to any gate. There's over a half dozen lounges. Wide variety of food. Easy to navigate. It's big, and that can be intimidating, but it's just laid out so intelligently.

I hate airports that have separate security lines for different terminals, or different drop off spots for different terminals (like LAX, O'hair, Miami, etc) those airports suck.

Duh, Everbody Leaves Through Atlanta

I dont think he'd be golly gee. I think he would be the opposite cutting through the BS. OP was saying Shane would be more of the same, buddy-buddy with Ballein, etc. and my point was Shane doesn't seem like the personality type to do that.

So yes I think Shane's a bit of a prick. I also think that pricklyness would serve him in some ways.

Honestly of ALL the major hubs, Atlanta is in my opinion the easiest to navigate gate to gate due to the center tram running between terminals so you never have go further than end of one terminal to the center then the far end of another(or same) terminal. O'Hare and JFK on the other hand...

Yeah, Cover 3 brought up the same article or maybe Fornelli's version of it last week. This is why my bets haven't been hitting this year.

None of those sound like anything any other coach doesn't do. Please link latest rant.

He would do it, but nicer. If Shane is HC, he's making sure we're doing things to keep up with the Jones's, and he might be able to do that better because he's Shane. He tried to do that last time he was here and he couldn't because he wasn't the guy in charge. Now he has experience in bigger programs and in the SEC to add to that fight.

I'm not saying he'd be golly-gee, I think he would modernize our football operation and get everyone rowing in the same direction. But he won't do it by being a dick. People like Shane as a person, which isn't always the case with these coaches.

Of your examples: UGA link isn't showing up, he apologized for yelling at the athletes, and the Bielema thing was more about Bert being a jerk.

I've seen this multiple times in my career where people thing there is a correct path between jobs when really the jobs are different skill sets.

Position coaches should be teaching techniques, like WR running routes, or DE doing a swim move, etc. A coordinator doesn't need to know how to teach the route thry just need to know how the routes work so they can use them. They should know what a bad route looks like and it's better if they know so they can help the position coach but the OC doesn't need to know how to teach every technique. Depending on the HC you don't need to know the X's and Op's like the coordinators, that's their job. They head coach needs to know clock management, they need to know if their offense can go for it, they need to recruit and manage, and they need to know how to hire people that know the things below them, but those are all different roles and it's weird that they are seen as a ladder than different skill sets.

So a GT coach is involved? cause everyone knows if you're traveling ANYWHERE -even Hell itself-you GOTTA change planes in Atlanta... /sorta

Offense
Donovan left PSU to go to the NFL. Made one stop back in college as OC for Washington for a couple years before returning to the NFL.

Moorhead left to become Miss St head coach, got fired, became Oregon OC and then became Akron HC

Rahne left to become head coach at ODU and has been there since

Kirk Ciarrocca has bounced around at the OC Level. After PSU it was WVU, Minnesota, and now Rutgers

Yurcich was a disaster and is now OC at Youngstown State.

Defense
Shoop has been on a gradual slide towards retirement. Left PSU to be DC at Tennessee, then did assistant stints with Michigan and Miami, became DC again at South Florida, did an XFL stint in Birmingham, assistant at Marshall with Huff and now is the Jerry Kill of defense for Vanderbilt.

Pry we know the history on

Diaz left to be HC at Duke and is 13-7 there which might be a miracle for Duke.

Tom Allen left to become Clemson DC.

Charles Huff is from Franklin's coaching tree. He started at Vandy in 2011 as Franklin's quality control coach.

Here is way more than I want to read on Franklin's coaching tree

My neighbor is a big Georgia fan and I mentioned the possibility of Schumann to VT and he said that he wouldn't be missed in Athens. So, take that for what it's worth. He said the game-planning has been atrocious and that every single team they've played has scored on the opening, scripted drive and they give up a bunch of points in the first half. I countered that at least his halftime adjustments must be good and he retorted that there is a feeling among the fans that Kirby, himself known for his defensive genius, is actually the one drawing up the adjustments at halftime and Schumann is simply executing them. He didn't think highly of Schumann's football acumen.

I guess if he has the right skills for a HC role and is able to hire good Xs and Os coordinators he'd be a decent candidate but that conversation with a Dawg fan really soured my view of Schumann.
