Five potential position changes going into spring.
Spring practice every year brings a couple position changes for players, as coaches look to figure out any way possible to get players in the best position to make plays.
Georgia is no different in this regard, and they should have even more than ever before with a new defensive coordinator and a new 3-4 scheme this spring.
«He's not coming back,» a person close to the situation said Tuesday. «I know he's got a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old and that his mom lives near Athens, and it's my understanding that family was a part of his thinking. I know he wants to be close to his mom.»
Coach Grantham calls the 3-4 «balanced».
«In the 3-4 you can be balanced,» Grantham said. «The thing with the 4-3 is the guys that are putting their hand in the dirt are the guys rushing. Whereas in the 3-4, I can tell you that the three guys with their hand in the dirt are coming but one of those other outside backers is going to be coming 95 percent of the time, so they have to account for all four of those guys on every snap. But yet only one of those guys could be coming.»
Dennis Dodd Doesn't think much of the Dooley hire at UT.
Suddenly, David Cutcliffe looks like Vince Lombardi in Knoxville. Early word is that a lot of recruits are bailing on UT. That might be the ultimate penalty Mike Hamilton pays for Kiffin's quickie divorce. Dooley wasn't a «name» and faces a huge task of learning how things work at a top 15 program. Getting Louisiana Tech to the Independence Bowl is one thing. Fighting Florida in the SEC East is another.
Give me a minute before you start screaming at me Falcon & Dawg fans. I agree as much as anyone that the dude will not make it as a prototypical NFL type quarterback. My thoughts are that he may be able to play a slot/tight end hybrid position; occasionaly lining up in shot gun to do what he does best.
Oh, and there were also strip clubs on wheels, which is convenient and seemingly approriate, given the occassion and setting.
