His friend was George Bobo lol Then Jaybo and Connor Shaws dad coached there. Now Jaybo coaches there and Connor is back at South Carolina. Was this before Kirby was just a tough kid from Bainbridge?

Smart was at Bainbridge, Bobo at Thomasville. Kirby graduated from Bainbridge and Mr. Sonny moved up to Rabun County.

I’m giddy thinking of the versatility he brings. 6’5, 220 lbs safety that runs like a deer. Coach Rambo keeps telling him to be the next Sean Taylor. Sounds good to me. Dawgs trying to build Hurticanes 2001 secondary Isaiah Simmons is the comp for James Williams, correct. Williams is a bit faster and maybe more athletic.

Same school we just got Tate from. Speaking of Bobo, that guy used to be a major party hound. When he was playing at UGA he would sometimes come to Rome to visit his sister who was at Berry College; don't think I ever once saw him where he wasn't staggering drunk, lol. I know he cleaned up his act later, luckily for him. Edited February 24 by RandomFan Americus_dawg, g-dawg and Wardog357 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying it's a bad hire, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around why it should be an exciting hire... Presumably, there are other ST specialist coaches that are out there that we could have targeted. Just not sure why we should be the proving ground for a coach that has never done the job on the field. I appreciate that he's got a ton of experience at a top program, but I do worry that ST will become a bit of an extension of the old "just beat your man" philosophy that Kirby had on offense, as opposed to actually scheming for success. We shall see I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Red_And_Black Posted on 2 mins, , User Since 18 months ago, User Post Count: 90 2 mins 18 months 90 I have a buddy from Tuscaloosa who talked with Cochran a few weeks ago. Apparently he grew up wanting to be a coach but got "stuck" on the strength and conditioning route, and that he seemed irritated that Bama wasn't paying him enough. Told my buddy he was looking for a coaching job in the next few years. I guess the opportunity came sooner than that. VA F.O. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah saw that Also saw where someone said he's been campaigning for a HC job for a while so if true maybe this is him wanting to take another step to make him a more attractive candidate 95Dawg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if I'm the minority but part of me would've likedo for us to hire a QB guy. That being said, I don't know enough to figure out if this is a good or meh. Just hoping we'll be good enough on offense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Believe Buster Faulkner can help there - I know he is only an analyst and frankly I don’t know what they aren’t allowed to do - I guess they cannot touch the dirt or turf of the practice field but do all the rest? sdogg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess would be that Monken handles QBs with Faulkner taking the bulk so Monken can spend some time in everything on offense 95Dawg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnson was an analyst too, and my all reports was far more of the "real" QB coach during his entire time here despite Chaney and Coley's official designations Edited February 24 by VA F.O. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VA F.O. 3,700 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I will say, I trust Kirby, and I'm sure that if anyone knows if this guy is ready to be on field coach, it's him, and ST is at least a position that could be helped/ran by committee if he struggled or needed help at first All that being said, this makes me uneasy. It's a weird move to be sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
