Thoughts on O?

I know y'all were hoping for Herman or Fisher, but is O really that bad?

Personally, I NEVER thought Fisher was in play. I also doubt how good he really is. He did a lot of winning with Jameis and Pruitt, but has he really done much outside of that? He may well have been a better pick than O (were he actually interested), but he's no Saban.

And Herman...well, I was hoping y'all would get him. LSU is my second favorite SEC team and I had hoped someone in the west could start challenging BAMA and give some balance. Still, he's had his up and down moments, too. Until a week ago, he had lost some luster over the course of this season. He may well have been a homerun hire, but he could just as well have been the next Charlie Strong (who also looked very good at Louisville before flaming out at UT).

I don't know if O is the right guy, long-term, but he could be a lot better than y'all think...especially with the right supporting cast. Some of you are bashing what he did with your talent this year, but as an outsider, I don't think he did that poorly. Your best RB has suffered through injuries most of the year. You didn't have a QB at the beginning of the season and, while Etling has been pretty good since, he's not one of your "first-round talent" guys. When you get one who is, you're gonna be good. O needs a good OC hire (Kiffin would do it, but not sure that's realistic just yet).

The Florida game....I had hoped for better. But it happens. O kept y'all closer to BAMA than any other team has been all year. Moral victory, I know. But it's as close as anyone will get this year, most likely. I say, hang in there. You guys might be surprised.

And don't feel bad on falling for all the "sauces". Georgia fans know that carousel all too well. Sometimes, you gotta sit back and let things just play out.
