Yep, but for anyone that is serious about having a successful career coaching at the P4 college level they have to be willing to relocate from time to time IMO.
I've drove from Lexington to Atlanta in 4 1/2 hrs. 😁 😁 😁 😁
It's not that far away.😁😁😁
Yeah I like some under center stuff too and dont see why the can run the jet motion off of that just like they do from the gun. The jet motion sets the rythm of the snap and keeps the LBs guessing and it can help a lot in short yardage too from under center faking to the motion guy and quick handoff to RB. Where spread teams suffer in short yardage is when they think its a good idea to snap it in the shot guy and then hand it off to a RB standing still in the back field while the DLine already has two seconds penetration. Drives me crazy
So that was you goin by!
It was late at night. Chattanooga is the hang up if you drive it during the day.
He was the QC/QB coach at UGA. Not just QC; so he was hands on w the QB development
I thought they put up some points last year as well..... not a bad team. lost to some pretty good teams in Ole miss, UGA, Clemson and UL.... I liked their Offense.
mos def..... sometimes the NFL style of shifting gets ya into clock problems. Need a QB with excellent vision and thought process to run it effectively.
Yeah, if he wants to get back to Georgia in a high capacity you would think he would consider being an OC at an SEC school would help him to do that in the future.
As I mentioned in this thread earlier, it is a lot more complicated than just him leaving the state of Georgia, or that assistants regularly change jobs/locations yearly. Faulkner's son is an upper level HS QB at a good Georgia team.
It isn't that easy to ask your son to uproot his life and throw it all away, for your career. I can see how that might be a big struggle, and could cause Faulkner to turn down more money/ a higher profile job.

I didn’t take the time to count up total UGA assistants yesterday when I made those posts. Just looked at his wiki and his GT bio and since QC aren’t supposed to coach I drew those conclusions.

The son playing QB on a Georgia HS team is what would hold me back if I were him. The best option I can think of is he comes here and wife and son stay in Georgia till son is done playing. No doubt that would be a tough way to go but he would have plenty of money to do it. Plus it’s not like a football coach is at home all the time. He just needs to be home for the Friday night games. Hope I am wrong but I don’t see how Faulkner can leave GT right now. Truthfully what is the right thing to do in a case like this?
Have yet to find the son, Harrison Faulkner, on any recruiting data base. Will keep looking.
Plus the endless formations and incredibly long play calls. Initial formation, shift with timing, motion with timing, snap with timing, then timed routes.
That's a lot to remember especially for s young group of skill guys all within the practice limitations of 20 hours a week.
That's a very, very tall order.
His son does not have to throw away his chances because they move. Coaches kids do this all the time. There are high level teams in Ky as well as other places
Since he has some ties with Brock I think he would and the talent and potential we have on the offense be a no Brainer coach
True, Will Muschamp's son, QB who signed with Vandy, went from a private school in Athens, GA, to a private school in Chattanooga last year(could be wrong but maybe a divorce forced that move??).
I've yet to find Faulkner's son on any recruiting data base that would indicate he's a prospect.
Baylor is a much more prestigious school, and they recruit nationally, was no divorce that i am aware of.
Faulkner's son goes to North Oconee HS just on the outside of Athens and is a 26 kid. North Oconee is a decent program, but not a state powerhouse.
As for Buster being the next in line for UGA's OC, I don't believe he was next in line.
Baylor School hired Will Muschamp's high school coach and he brought Will along with him to win a state title.
Nothing to see here. This IS Tennessee, after all.

So true, Baylor's been a heavy recruiter for years. McCallie has nudged ahead however and is now bringing in guys from Canada.
As I said elsewhere, the state mandated 10 day waiting period doesn't expire until Mon, Feb 12. Don't expect anything OFFICIAL until after that date.
Definitely not official but I think it's pretty incredible in this day and age that it's almost certain they have their guy yet noone is saying a word.
That's impressive enough when you consider just staff but even more when you know for sure at least one or two players know.
Pretty much same thing with the last guy. We had a big recruiting weekend where the kids were told coen was coming back but none of them said a word. Most we got was something like "they told us who the planned to bring back".
Pretty crazy in this day and age
Baylor has become a softball school. Multiple state championships. They go out and get the top pitcher in the nation every 2-3 years. But the other teams in their division are doing the same.
Not really. It doesn’t really compare. Nothing around central KY does. Occasional teams from Louisville might be ok.
Douglass has had a great deal of talent over the years by KY standards but they really aren’t jack. They were down 40 by halftime against that team from northern Ohio this year. Go down and watch teams in Nashville. Just more physical football and better coaching down there. KY hs football is t very good. I have an appreciation for how physical and desperate Boyle county plays but good teams in the south play that way with better athletes across the board.
South Warren went and played Hendersonville a couple of years ago when they won the state title against Douglass. They lost to Hendersonville by a score and that’s a state round of 16 or state quarterfinal type program in their class at best. That Hendersonville team lost by 50 to Oakland, one of the ‘legit’ tn teams. If you want to be a player that is tested it’s difficult to do in ky unless you play at Trinity or x and go into cincy to play some.
It’s why I believe so many higher rated qbs bust in college from here. They are misjudged because they haven’t faced squat in most cases. I’ve seen the Macintyre kid that just committed to UT. He’s much better than Boley. Throws from different arm slots, moves his feet well, sees p5 players pass rushing him, etc
Other private schools are now complaining to the thsaa about them because boarding schools have different eligibility rules from even other d2 private tn schools.
As usual, I agree with a lot of your thoughts. However, I feel like we've sort of concentrated too much on installing a 'pro' system and not enough on what wins college games. Certainly, under Scan, he was really good at designing plays and scheming guys open - we just never did seem to execute very well. Instead of adjusting the system to the players he had, we just kept running the same stuff over and over regardless of how ineptly we executed those plays. Last year, Leary was pretty clearly not ideally suited for Coen's system and we still tried to force the square peg into a round hole. I felt like Leary looked and performed the best when we ran tempo, he threw early short-to-medium passes and ran the ball off of PA. Yet, our offense continued to try to push the ball down field and continued to have plays that were slow developing and required going through all the progressions. Hell, it took sometimes 15 seconds to break out of the huddle. Too complicated and did not fit Leary's skillset as well as we'd like it to.
I like the QB under center, also. But, I also know that a QB who is even a minor threat to run puts a lot of pressure on the defense. NFL teams, with a few exceptions, don't want their QB running because so much of a team's success is dependent on how well the starting QB plays.
Yes, short yardage can be a problem. However, if our OL improves again and we have Traynam (sp?) who is a pretty big back, surely a reasonably competent OC can come up with a handful of plays with the talent we have to pick up 3rd and 3. I would surely hope so, anyway.
Boley's family moved to Lexington to for him to play. Why can't Faulkner's son move to Lexington and play?
Maybe he doesn't want to, old man. Maybe he does. Maybe he's in a better position where he is. In the event, it's not your call.
Pretty sure McCallie beat them again.
I can see how it's an advantage, don't know what the solution would be. The division is so small a split between boarding ad non boarding private school doesn't see feasible. There can't be very many boarding schools. I can only think of one in Georgia and they play up 5 divisions. The Rams coach played QB there. Marist. I don't think the other big schoos have boarders.
We have been recruiting pretty well over the last few years and haven’t been bad in the portal at all…. Not sure what your point is all about.
Jmo but the an and wr recruiting was so poor due to perception and a sh1t QB coach that we made the change to get better players in hopes of winning more games.
It definitely worked 1 year when we had the base of what we were doing combined with wandale. I know Levis gets nearly all the credit from fans, but wandale was the difference. Wandale was truly elite and basically unstoppable.
I will be glad to see us get back to a college style offense with someone who can still pull in balanced recruiting.
Not sure I see how Kentucky is much of an upgrade over GT other than salary.
