From UGA wirter on 247
spoke with someone last night who spent some time with Campbell on his visit. Apparently he views rumph at Miami as a high school coach/friend and isn't sure he can develop him for the NFL. He believes Kirby/Mel will do a better job teaching him technique, coverage's, scheme. That along with our huge advantage in strength and Conditioning (Miami isn't even Close), and his friendship with Coley is what has turned him to UGA. I asked about Alabama and he basically told me that Campbell knows Alabama can do everything for him that UGA can but he feels like Kirby/Mel/Coley are easier to talk to and will mentor him better than Saban. TIFWIW but this is what I was told.
This is probably close to verbatim UGA’s negative sales speech to TC against us.
This may have been true four years ago, it is no longer the case.
Out facilities are on a par with anyone’s by this fall. Unless you count bounce houses, inlaid carrera marble, and waterfalls, which I don’t.
So is our strength and conditioning and nutrition. Sometimes S&C becomes a voodoo/magic subject that people don’t discuss logically. There are generally accepted strength training techniques that as long as they are followed, it really remains up to th individual and how much work ke wants to put in. Unless UGA flat out told TC that they will procure for him testosterone/HGH, dose him with it in the off-season, make sure he stays on cycle, and make sure all tests are falsified so he passes any screens (if any), then, no, their S&C isn’t superior to ours.
I’ve been in meetings and w clients all day salivating to ether this “inside tifwiw” info
1. From what we all know and heard about TC, he’s smart, respectful, and plays things close to the vest. Yet, all we’ve heard are these random cats saying he said this and that about a guy he has a lot of admiration for.
2. The fact that the parenthesis are right after TC’s “concerns” about S&C at Miami leads me to believe that’s made up. Why interject a personal thought if that’s how TC “feels?”
3. I highly, HIGHLY doubt Coley is friends w TC. Yes he may have had convo, he’s probably even negatively recruited against us b/c I know he’s bitter he wasn’t kept as an OC (which happens when u call a HB pass in a blizzard when all momentum is on the offensive side of the ball!)...but I highly doubt a friendship has develop
4. Mel Tucker has been BLACK BALLED from the NFL, so how in tf can he develop TC! Mel Tucker JUST stop painting on his hairline for God sake!
5. UGA’s defense getting sliced by ND, Auburn, Oklahoma, and by a true freshman that’s thrown 5 passes all year long was not an anomaly. That’s a Mel Tucker coached defense. I saw the man turn the clock back on my Bears to depths we’ve never seen.
6. Rumph have coached TC and Surtain up to be in this position. Rumph knows something about getting drafted in the 1st round. He knows something about spending time in the NFL. He knows something about coaching up a guy like Colbert who was left for dead at Texas into a draft pick who’s now poised to have a long career....AS A STARTER. He knows a little something about coaching up a “JAG” named Michael Jackson who went from deep bench to contemplating the NFL and became a shut down corner. He knows about coaching up a guy in Corn who went borderline draftable to the 4th round decked out in jewels on the sideline. Or a guy named Bandy who became known as the muddy badger. So excuse me if I don’t call b.s on that whole line about TC thinking of Rumph as a high school coach.
UGA fans irk me b/c they got a fake Saban who’s wearing these rings that his boss got him and he’s convincing ppl UGA is in that echelon. Run a championship background on these teams, and u won’t find UGA close to the top, the middle or second bottom of teams who’ve won championships. These mofos got a national title in 1942 during WWII when everybody was at war, and 1980! Yet, let them tell u, they’re the creme de la creme of college football. FOH. U know why they feel that way? B/c Richt made them feel that way!
My message to TC, don’t be fooled. They told Holloman he’ll be their next AJ Green...kid got no burn. The problem w them saying that is Richt is the one who developed AJ Green. They may say u can be their next whatever or whoever, but any and every UGA guy that’s in the NFL came from coach Richt, not Kirby and definitely not Mel Tucker. Trust the guy who has ur best interest in mind; don’t believe the hype.
