Yeah, hopefully Santucci has improved considerably since his time here. Not 100 percent convinced by the few Georgia Tech games I watched but that may have been a talent issue.

The fact that he's being considered is disheartening. How about hiring someone who's a sure fire guy?

Was it because of Santucci, or the head coach?TxAg76 said:Aggie Dad 26 said:AWP 97 said:

Compare GTech's D performance before he got there, versus after.
Not saying he's "the guy" for us, but he led a major turnaround there without question

What is a surefire guy? I thought that was Jimbo.?
Are there any out there that might be available?Aggie Dad 26 said:AWP 97 said:

This is the only practical way. Let the HC be the CEO of players and coaching staff.greg.w.h said:
If we keep Elko giving him who he wants seems like the only path. We have tried cramming other assistants down failing coaches's throats to no avail…

Whoever is coaching should spend some time each practice on some tackling drills. The number of missed tackles in '24 was high.

Doesn't add up as Santucci was offered job when Elko first joined, and he turned it down (didn't want to come back here).
Now, what I don't remember is which job was he offered...maybe it wasn't DC originally. Aware Santucci was exactly happy here the first go around, but maybe due to Jimbo (wasn't a fav of mine personally).
Focusing on Yorks stature is in no way why we lost. York has put us in so many better positions defensively soley on his knowledge of the game, he is a baller!Johnny Boyziel 2 said:
There is not a coach in the world capable of making our team captain MLB grow taller or run faster. I don't know why so many people didn't notice how bad we were at defending the middle of the field. Re watch USCs offensive hilights and focus on York.

I've been calling out York's shortcomings all year and stated he's not a starting SEC caliber LB (absolutely a great kid, understands calls, but still guesses on gap leverage and/or easily blocked or lost in space on a TE). Coop covered up his flaws last year. York will be a coach one day is the path he's on, but just not a SEC LB regardless of 'false' stats and posters who don't understand the position.
Scooby and Stanford are better combo (albeit not perfect), but a few young bucks should step up next year as on paper should have a few that can play.
