I can give him a pass on Davis - dude is coming off a knee injury so no telling what that’s changed. Put dancin’ Perine? He’s done well in pass pro for the most part but he’s not a “plus” in the running game. Pierce might be but they don’t give him the rock (and when they do, he’s been pretty darn good). I’m with you, can him and English and find some recruiters.

Based on what?
Based on someone who actually played football and understands the game .For the first time in three RB coaches our RB's actually know how to pass protect, pick up blitzes and how to turn into safety valves for hot reads if they are not blocking a blitz...The RB's are a much more integral part than they were under the last three RB coaches and staffs.

Knox's HUGE issue with regards to coaching is that he is a piss poor recruiter. Typically good position coaches are good recruiters but in this case no...

What proof is there that Knox is a good coach? Per @ltraz and I believe him, RB is an easy position to coach. A “good” coach is an elite recruiter and decent coach, not the other way around. He’s our ST coach too so I’d argue he’s not good at that.

Well, I don't know who itraz is or his background but, I played RB and it is not the easiest position to coach - if you're going to coach the position... there are many nuances from blitz pick-up, blocking, becoming a hot read on blitzes if you're not blocking, reading the D before the snap, hitting the right hole, etc. Much of the dancing done by the RB's is due to the fact that as soon as the ball is snapped the DL is in the backfield almost immediately so they have to shift what they were going to do to avoid being tackled.

Now, we have had several RB's coaches who definitely did not coach the position very well over the past few coaching staffs... as I stated earlier, Knox's HUGE issue is apparently he cannot recruit.

It make perfect sense based on your comments. Since being a RB coach is so easy, then feel free to hit up Mullen with your resume and perhaps you can be the next UF RB coach and coach em up... Or maybe you and Swamp Donk can co-coach since he knows so much about coaching and football.

We have some kneejerk fans, I swear. Granthems defense has held its own in every game this year except the 2 where we were clearly out Joe'd by a studded UGA team and an LSU team thats lighting everybody up -Including Saban, wanna fire him? -
We have 2 players on our front 7 that would play for UGA. The rest are 3 star mac specials.
More funny than that is you guys call for a guy who's defense just got lit up by lesser teams to replace him. Champ just let ApSt whoop his rearend and we ran roughshot over Mason's Vandy D... YEAH Give me those guys as DC lol
