It’s a small sample size but it seems that the elite recruiters on the staff are Mario, Field, Strong, DVD and possibly Mirabol- not sure how much is Mario.

The rest of the staff unfortunately hasn’t done much. You could give a pass to the coordinators given their responsibilities. It doesn’t seem like Alabama or Ohio State have great recruiters as coordinators.

Whats crazy is historically the RB and WR coaches have been top recruiters but here they haven’t done a thing. Plus Gattis is tied up running the offense. But at least they’re trying.

Not sure what Addae, Ponce, Salavea, and Wright do. The dline is playing well so maybe you can give the coaches there a pass. Might have to bring Coley in as QB coach since it sounds like ATM is going to make major changes to the staff.

Not sure if Ponce gets credit for it but we do have Two good QBs committed. I know Emory mentioned him a bunch

I would cut off my right sack for someone like Golesh at OC. Not sure about recruiting prowess but when you have Mario, he can convince Jeffrey Dahmer to go vegan. Plus that system would recruit itself, and like you alluded to, plenty of ace recruiters on that staff that can handle multiple positions.

Field has been phenomenal. Joe was big in Francis. The problem now becomes meshing recruiting savants with coaching. Ponce, Gattis, Addae are all expendable.

I would add Charlie Strong to recruiting as well - seems like he’s done a great job at the LB position. People forget about Bobby, Malik and Popo.

Addae is a great coach though.
Expendable how?

Out:
- Gattis
- Ponce
- Addae

In:
- Coley at WR
- Ruggerio or Candle at OC/QB
- Pay Corey Raymond 30% more and steal for DB coach

OC should be the guy from Tennessee that’s working under Heupel — Alex Golesh. Sell him on the fact it’s his room and he won’t have to answer to anyone. I’m guessing he’d rather be in charge than live in Heupel’s shadow.

Golesh at one point was a recruiting coordinator at Illinois I think. So he knows how to do it atleast lol

If Tennessee makes the playoff I would think he may have HC offers. Probably not P5 but offers nonetheless.

Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not, but I feel like plenty of insiders have said the dude is fools’ gold from UGA. Had no stake in recruiting Cormani, haven’t even seen a tweet congratulating the young man. Seems odd.

We continuously whiffed at DB up until last night.

Now with Coaching maybe you give him a pass given what he’s working with on the field, but it sounds like he won’t be back regardless of whether we think he’s a good coach or not. DVD won’t sit in a recruiting role forever - guess Mario has a decision to make.

One thing that’s for certain - the DB’s and secondary haven’t gotten any better. Maybe that’s on Addae, maybe it’s on the players for not being good enough. I truly don’t know for sure.
 
Joe hasn't added much recruiting wise but the DT room as a whole has played quite well. The ends have been ok but Wright deserves more time I think. Addae & Ponce have shown nothing and I'd part with them. We all would get rid of Gattis and that's priority #1 in the offseason. I want to see what Steele does with the infusion of talent/athleticism.

I'd like to understand how he's a great coach. I know you're a coach and have more insight than I do so could you explain?

From the outside, our safety room was supposed to be a strength of this D before the season. Instead it feels like our top 3 safeties have all regressed in either tackling, coverage, or both. CBs haven't improved either.
