Alright, so you wanna know about this UGA head coach thing, huh? Let me tell ya, it’s a whole lotta fuss about some fellas runnin’ around with a ball. I don’t get it half the time, but here’s what I’ve heard tell.
Seems like a big deal, this coachin’ stuff. They get paid a whole heap of money, more than most folks around here see in a lifetime, I reckon. I heard tell one of them fellas, what’s his name, oh yeah, Hartley, gonna be makin’ near a million dollars soon! Can ya believe that? A million dollars just to tell some young’uns how to throw a ball and run around! And there’s this other fella, Searles, he’s gonna get a bump too, up to $800,000. Good lord, that’s enough money to buy a whole farm!
And there’s this Muschamp fella. He used to play for UGA, now he’s back helpin’ out the coach, that Smart fella. Seems like everyone wants a piece of that UGA pie, y’know? They go there, learn the ropes, and then off they go to other places to be the big cheese.
Speaking of leavin’, last year, two of them assistant coaches, the fellas who help the head coach, they up and left for head coachin’ jobs of their own. One of them schools, Florida Atlantic, they even got rid of their coach, a fella named Herman, just to get a new one. It’s like musical chairs, but with more money and yellin’, I guess.
- Head Coach Salaries: These fellas make a boatload of money. We’re talkin’ hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. It’s more than I ever seen in my life, that’s for sure.
- Assistant Coaches Movin’ On Up: Seems like bein’ an assistant at UGA is a good way to get a head coachin’ job somewhere else. They learn the tricks of the trade and then go off to run their own show.
- Lots of Turnover: Coaches are always comin’ and goin’. One minute they’re here, the next they’re gone. It’s hard to keep track of ‘em all.
Now, I heard some talk about this Schumann fella, the defensive coordinator. That means he’s the one tellin’ the boys how to stop the other team from scorin’. Folks are sayin’ he might go be the head coach at UNC. That’s another big school, I hear. And then there’s Georgia State, they lookin’ for a coach too, and they want someone from UGA, someone who learned from that Smart fella. It’s like they think he’s got some kinda magic touch or somethin’.
This McDonnell fella, he’s over at Louisville. They say he made that team somethin’ special. So, I guess that means he’s a good coach, huh? It’s all about winnin’, I reckon. If ya win, they love ya. If ya lose, well, they might just find someone else to do the job. It’s a tough business, that coachin’.
And get this, soon as they announced they might need a new coach, folks started gossiping about who it might be. They got lists and rumors and all sorts of chatter. It’s like a bunch of hens clucking in the henhouse, only instead of eggs, they’re squawkin’ about coaches.
So, what does it all mean? Well, I ain’t no expert, but it seems to me that this UGA head coach thing is a big deal. Lots of money, lots of pressure, and lots of movin’ around. These fellas, they get paid a whole lot to win games. And if they don’t win, well, there’s always someone else waitin’ in the wings to take their place. It’s a crazy world, this football stuff, but I guess folks like it. Me? I’d rather be in my garden, where things are a little more predictable.
But hey, if them fellas wanna run around and yell at each other, that’s their business. Just as long as they don’t come trompin’ through my flower beds, I ain’t got no complaints. And who knows, maybe one of these days, I’ll even figure out what all them rules are about. But don’t hold your breath, I ain’t got time for such nonsense. There’s work to be done!
Anyways, that’s the gist of it. Hope it makes some sense to ya. It’s all a bit much for an old lady like me, but I done my best to tell it like I heard it.
