This ^^^ Completely agree. I would expect to see Nixon calibrate playcalling to his strengths and develop his abilities and confidence. Quick slants, screens, outs...3 step and quick reads. As confidence builds and the game slows down, expand the playbook.
My post was directed at board members lamenting Pena “breaking his agreement” for a better opportunity, but accepting HCFB’s actions without a cross word
Sure. Don’t let him get the C back or the suggested raise in his pay. You risk your own market value when you search for greener pastures.
Nixon is coaching to be in the NFL next year. I'm confident he will develop an excellent gameplan.
Yeah...my childlike mind will go ahead and just leave this alone
It’s called being brutally honest.
I literally had a dream last night that Pena came back. Why is this in my subconscious??
Yep. Was just articulating that the offense we saw last year with McCord would likely look different this upcoming season with Collins given strengths and experience.
100% agree. Can't wait!
We can’t pay 2m for a WR outside of maybe a guy like Marv Jr or someone like that - most schools can’t or won’t. Telling a player demanding that that we can’t do it isn’t blasting them lol.
100%. This secretive BS is the worst and really not needed.
Nico a consensus 5 star with 3 yrs left and coming off a playoff run had a $2.5M deal, Tenn told him to kick rocks, and he ended up settling at UCLA for a little more than a $1M. As Fran said who in there right mind is going to pay a 5’10 180lb slot receiver $2M. I’ll be shocked if that’s what he gets. Lots of shady stuff happens with this NIL. If he collects $2M when Nico only got a little over $1M it will be amazing to see. I don’t care if he’s the best player on the team. It doesn’t mean i’m giving him the more money because of the fact. $500k. Take it or leave it. Save the rest for next years war chest.
I'm just saying it may be an option, and I believe he still could be drafted in the later rounds. I also believe good NFL scouting departments have a pretty good idea where the talent is generally regardless of class.
Trebor definitely was given bad advice.
Zero chance Pena would get drafted this year if he decided to go that route now. He hasn’t gone through any evaluation processes. He would be an undrafted free agent.
If you listen to Coach, Mr Peña did not want a leadership role .
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I reallllly don’t think it’s an option. NFL teams have invested literally thousands of hours in scouting draft-eligible players over the past year. They’ve had massive teams working round the clock since the season ended in January to build their proprietary draft boards. It’s hard to overstate how much time and energy teams invest in the draft process.
In fairness you’re not on the receiving end of the blast.
You do realize he coached for UGA after he was hired here right? And I’ll be willing to bet you whatever you want that he had prior approval to interview for the role from Kirby Smart before he did it.
Always enjoy your posts Scooch. I respectfully disagree. I'm good with that. Right now it's a wait and see.
I love Elmore and he did all he could for us. BUT u make a promise to someone and then change your mind itsnot a good look and honestly i wouldnt want himback even if he came back for less. This is slightly better than qb from tennessee. Now no one can trust your word and THAT is why Fran is still pissed.
Its a huge loss but how it was done was wrong.
Wouldntwant hime now. next man up.
