What About The Aaron Murray Years, Pawwwlllll?

Posted on by

Apparently, many among us have a common target of concern as Paul Finebaum.

Some would say if you walked down Peachtree and ran into Buster Faulkner, then, yes, you’d possibly find a better OC, albeit Buster’s work outside of his games against an opponent that rhymes with Bulldogs seems to be kind of average stuff. But I digress.

Anyway, if you’re wanting to hear the full context of what Pinebalm said, you can hear the full thing from the 680 The Fan show.

If you needed something to argue about, here’s your Wednesday commentary post. Keep it civil, scamps.

  2. I spent about 3 minutes flipping through the link which is about 178 seconds longer than I usually spend listening to Finebaum. He is a pot stirrer who even if he happen to more less take your stance is not someone that I would use to prove my opinion and yes I’ve thought Bobo should have been gone while Murray was playing.

  3. The Bobo argument has grown tiresome to me. Kirby will encourage Mike to retire or become an analyst before he flat out fires him. Kirby has earned our trust on this.

    No one who replaced Todd Monken was going to get any room. The fact it was Bobo made everything worse by 10x.

    I’ve posted this before with Bobo as Snape, Dumbledore as Kirby, Harry as the “I blame Bobo crowd,” and Lupin as the rest of us.

  4. As play callers Bobo = Josh Heupel. Monken = GOAT. I’m hoping Bobo follows Brain Schottenheimer in Dallas.

    • Jones is self-destructing the Cowboys all by himself without any help from others thank you.

    • I’ve never considered who is a similar play-caller to Bobo, but that’s pretty good. This comparison proves that you’ve got to have elite QB play to make the OC look great (i.e., Heupel was considered “great” with Hendon Hooker, but not so much with Joe Milton and Nico Iamaleava last year). Carson Beck was too inconsistent last year and I know that the level of WR play contributed to that, but his decision-making was also poor half of the time. Saying that, I don’t know that we’ll see any improvement at the QB position this year, but if our WR room is better, that can elevate the QBs play and confidence level and allow the QB (Gunner Stockton, Ryan Puglisi or Jaden Rashada (is he gone or not?) ).

  5. Well if Finebaum says it…. Who is the OC to hire that has no personnel injuries to key starters, keeps the WR corps intact, keeps remaining WRs and TEs from dropping the most passes in D1, motivates an OL to work, establishes a running game with a transfer, freshman and walk-on, and does better than winning the SEC and making the playoffs with an untested backup? Must be someone from the Big X because there wasn’t a better one in the SEC.

    • Besides Bobo, you have to look at the other position coaches as well. I’m sure that all of them are evaluated each year to see if they should be replaced. I certainly don’t think (my opinion) that Bobo is the best OC in the SEC, but he’s also not the worst as some believe.

      • Bobo is a good QB coach based on his history. Bobo overthinks or gets cute against tough defenses.

  6. I am not a fan of Bobo’s play-calling as I think that he’s too predictable most of the time, but I don’t think that the offensive woes falls 100% on Bobo (but the OC is usually held accountable for how the offense performs, fair or not).

    Team leadership, chemistry, and talent are also contributors. Is Bobo a good OC? Maybe. Is he elite? Probably not. If we get better leadership on the team and play together and as “brothers” (as described of the 2021 & 2022 teams), that can overcome a lot of deficiencies in play-calling.

    We know that UGA has talent, but without the team playing “together” and playing for one another, we get what we saw last year (especially in the 1st half of games).

  7. There is nobody with a bigger megaphone who knows less about his supposed area of expertise than Finebaum. Living in Alabama, I have been exposed to this guy for decades. He can do a good interview and actually attracts good guests, but his true vocation is stirring shit. He made a good living on sports radio in the pre-SEC Network days basically doing nothing but alternating between trying to get the head coaches at Alabama and Auburn fired.

  8. This is low hanging fruit for Finebaum. That said, I had really hoped to see Bobo move into a role other than OC. Look, maybe he is a good coordinator who just has been unlucky several times at several stops. Or he isn’t good. It’s as simple as that. I trust Kirby knows what he is doing. One thing though, if the offense struggles next year, don’t blame the players. That’s weak. According to some this year, our QB forgot how to read a defense, our receivers forgot how to get open or catch, our O-line forgot how to block, and our RB’s forgot how to make people miss. Whatever.

    • F-bomb is a “low hanging fruit”, just wish his wife would do the world a “large” and perform that much needed frontal lobotomy on his dead ass, hell, I’ll even sell F-bomb t-shirts roadside in support…GO DAWGS!!

  9. Will always give #11 respect, as an accomplished sec QB….knowing he’s a huge human being and could do harm to my fragile skeletal system, but FUCK nick fairley, today, tomorrow and next week…cheap shot mutha fucker, heart condition or not, FUCK’EM….#AUBURN SUCKS!!

  10. I’m not a fan of Bobo as OC. I feel he is extremely limited in creativity & keeping a defense off balance. My wife can call his play 2 out of 3 times. Maybe she’s a defensive savant, I don’t know. I’m not of fan of Searles as OL coach and that goes back to his first stint here. I’ve seen nothing this time around to change that opinion. I’m not a fan of Coley as WR coach. Last season certainly hasn’t eased my mind. He clearly had no solutions to the epidemic of dropped passes as it never improved the entire season. Are these guys top of the world at their positions, do they stink out loud & should have been fired. Somewhere in between is where they appear to fall. Kirby has demanded excellence in every facet of his program which raised us to back to back Champs. I don’t feel he is demanding the best at these three positions for whatever reason. They’re good, or at least pretty good, but have never shown greatness. I’ll watch every game hoping for the best but not expecting the offense to perform well against good defenses. Hope I’m completely wrong about my feels, just seems like next year will probably look much like this past season.
