I'll most likely get roasted for this but I'll throw it out anyway:

Cam's contract is up after this season, and everyone knows that somewhat of a change on offense is necessary.

What are the chances Alleva tries to redeem himself and take a shot at Richt for OC? He's been a solid coach in the SEC for a long time, and was very successful at Georgia and he's gone on record saying he wants to coach QBs and call plays...why not talk to him?

We know Les is stubborn and overrides his OC's calls, but with Richt I think Les could change his ways especially if he is given parameters to just let his OC to do his job with the next hire.

What does the Rant think?

I am in, but sounds like we are keeping Cam and Richt said he does not want to coach in the SEC.

It sure sounds good in theory but Richt has not called plays in a very long time.

Not likely, Richt will be a HC again as soon as he chooses.

I'm all for it. And I know Richt said he wants to be more hands on as a QB coach and play caller at his next stop. So sounds like he would prefer to be an OC + QB coach.

But considering all the high profiled jobs still available, I think it would be hard for him to turn down a head coaching gig at 1 of those schools to be an OC.

I would be thrilled if we did hire him, but think it's a long shot.

I agree, KG. he said he wants to be hands on the offense side.

Just too many openings right now.

Would be a tremendous hire though.

We would all be thinking of the line from Dumb and Dumber where dumbass no 1 buys the scooter... "Just when I think...,"

Not me. His offenses have been pedestrian the last several years. Look his production since Mike Bobo left and you'll see a steady decline.

Or what if Harris completed one of three more passes . . .

This is spot on. I've heard multiple reports that say Les has absolutely NOTHING to do with the play calling...

Bobo left less than a year ago in December 2014.

This is Georgia's first year without him.

Georgia had crap for a starting QB this year, and Nick Chubb got injured.
