I do but unlike other schools, the offense we chose to run is not something that can be picked up overnight no matter who the OC is. Schott did not create this mess, he inherited it. Losing Chubb and having a wreckless player like Ramsey is not helping. Lambert looks tentative but it is because he is managing the game, he just needs to learn to throw the ball away more often. This Oline is no different from the Knowmo days, Gurley, Chubb, and Knowmo made their own way and made the line look way better at runblocking than they actually are. Pass protection is better but D's are now loading the box up as we are weak at WR. Do wish we threw to the TE's more.

On D, The secondary is still a dumpster fire but that was not going to get better over night with all the cancers that left. It will take a few recruiting classed. Dline is better but still weaker than it should be.

It will take a while to get depth. I am personally under the opinion to screw the proset, it is left over from a by gone era, even the NFL is widely west coast spreds at this point. It was great at Miami and USC or now Bama, but all football players are getting bigger and stronger and coaching is better across the board than 30 years ago. You have to out scheme teams anymore, not just out physical them.

I do not think anyone can argue that UGA has squandered away the weakest SEC East ever and I think it is about to start improving.

The offense was FAR from being a old school Pro-I offense under Bobo. You might recall we led The SEC in scoring last year as well. The offense was varied and imaginative in Bobo's last years at UGA. It sure wasn't the mess you seem to suggest.

I agree on giving this staff time though. Unless things fall apart, which I don't except, I think we need to see what we field in 2017 before coming to conclusions on this coaching staff.
I do see a lot to like, but also some issues to resolve.

Bobo made is paycheck by running up big numbers against inferior opponents. Take the Murray-led offense. Look at his numbers against solid and better opponents as compared to the bottom dwellers. Take it a step further and look how he faired against ranked opponents. The fact is, Bobo didn't fair very well against good teams. Take away the outliers - both the strongest performances and weakest performances - and you'll see consistent mediocrity.

Old school I and old school spread was bobo. Running up the score is great and all but you make you living getting points when it matters and helping the d stay off the field, Bobo failed there more often than not. Not sure the NFL is where to hire an oc from as innovation comes from the college level.

And what do you base your opinion of improvement on?
