We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

I can completely understand the wait if we are hiring Glenn Schumann. He has had his hands full for the last 1.5 months.

Can we all take a deep breath and give the disaster scenarios a rest?

The rumbles are currently positive. I think most will be well pleased.
They are. But alas, there will be some that want to be negative about it.

And for those of you that are going to say, “that’s the best we could do?” Please bring your suggestions to the table as to who you would have hired. That of course would mean that you will have knowledge that the person was interviewed and not offered.

To be fair, Roof deserved it for the first couple of weeks. He implement a defense all spring. Ran it all fall camp. Come Thursday before opening game, he changes it and expects players to pick it up in 2 days after running something different for 2ish months.

He changed the gameplan on Thursday for every game until UNC when Drink told him he had to stop doing that and put him in the booth.

Ted Roof is a good man , and a good coach. I didn't know NW as well but he did a good job as well with a lot of help from a high scoring , time chewing offense. .We have our new DC , I hope he is the best yet.

There was also some real dissention going on in the locker room at the time. Once everyone "got on the same page" it all seemed to work. Good lockerroom leadership helped at that time

Can we afford Schumann (or anyone at a P5 school)? He's knocking down $800k at UGa. It's frustrating enough that the P5s are getting their pick of the on-field talent, but the salaries they are paying assistants will keep ambitious young position coaches from taking coordinator jobs (or HC jobs) at non-P5 schools.

It wasn't the first 2 games that made him deserve the criticism. It was installing a scheme for months and then changing it 2 days before the first game. He literally put his players in a position they couldn't succeed.

And then installing a gameplan and changing it late in the week. He simply was not comfortable calling the scheme. So, instead of admitting it, he put his players in bad spots.

All of the above is cause for losing employment. But, it was fixed when Gaspo was essentially calling the plays and Roof was put in the box.
