UGA DB coach opening - possible candidates?
Posted on 1/9/14 at 7:52 pm
Posted on 1/9/14 at 7:52 pm
Scott Lakatos resigned today, so that means UGA is coach shopping. 
Any ideas? I'll keep the OP updated
Names mentioned:
Ron Cooper (USF, fmr LSU)
Chip West (UVA)
Duane Akina (Texas, if not retained by Strong)
Torrian Gray (VT)
Manny Diaz (fmr. Texas DC)
Derrick Ansley (UK) - has reportedly expressed interest in the position
Brett Maxie (Tennessee Titans) - rumored to have been contacted
Travaris Robinson (UF) - would be sweet
Definitely eliminated:
Willie Martinez

that's not funny

Not funny at all in fact. Many kids had nightmares for years because of that.

I think its funny

I still have nightmares actually. Although they're evolving more into Grantham nightmares, which are worse

Imagine that nightmare when your in class and you didn't study for the exam, you're in your underwear, the boogeyman is chasing you, and every other horrible nightmare at once.
And then realize you are awake.
It's not funny.

Best name I've seen so far is Ron Cooper
Left LSU a few years back to be the Bucs DB coach. Now works at USF

Another good one could be Duane Akina from Texas.
Posted on 1/9/14 at 8:53 pm to adammwilson
He'd be good. I just don't know if he has any connections to the southeast

Someone on the UGA 247 board suggested that we wait a couple weeks and offer the job to Kirby Smart after he gets tired of dealing with Kiffin

Coop is great. Word on the street is he doesn't like recruiting, but he can definitely coach up a secondary.
Posted on 1/9/14 at 9:18 pm to Russell2Bowe
he hates off campus recruiting indeed but his camp evals are money. he coached up some great ones at lsu and south carolina.

A recruiter would be preferable obviously, but our departing coach didn't really recruit much at all, so we wouldn't be losing much in that case.

Would hate that hire. He has no experience in college football.

I think it would be an alright hire. He would have a lot of credibility as a recruiter after spending so much time in the NFL

Why do you UGA fans criticize W. Martinez so much? If you actually looks at the stats his defense's ranked no worse than 38th nationally while he was at UGA. Plus he is a damn good recruiter. Just don't understand the hate here.
P.S. If your gonna bash Martinez then Derrick Ansley should in way even be considered by you. Ansley's DB's at UT were worst in schools history. Martinez coached the group up fairly well this year as we were much improved from when Ansley was there.
