Details from Iowa coaches visit to Georgia

Wow...that's pretty cool. If there is one guy I would like to have our people talking to it's Kirby Smart. He's completely changed the culture at Georgia based on what that article is saying. I guess it's showing up. They had an arrogance about them with Richt as the coach...and I think guys took advantage of him. They were always having off field issues too.

If Reese is saying that about Chauncey G., it tells you something. Damn...Nelson, AJ, Hesse, and Golston....those are some athletic big dudes playing DE. I like it.
 
Interesting. Why would Georgia do that? What do they have to gain from it? Does it make them look good that they were picked to visit instead of Alabama (or make Saban look petty for not doing it)? Seems like a pretty one-sided opportunity.

The big thing is Morgan said Brincks and Golston especially are looking good at D Tackle besides D End.

Coaches with winning schemes and winning success have been having coaches clinics in the off season for a long time. I assume other coaches pay to go to these clinics to learn the newest schemes , etc.

This was not a clinic but schools also have these invites or have coaches visit to go over items. C Football is not top secret military secrets and the other angle is Georgia and Iowa always have a very very low chance of playing each other in a CFPlayoff situation and low chance of playing in a bowl.
 
Also, I think Iowa City was a destination for Scores of coaches from the south and ACC who sought out Norm Parker, specifically, especially after the way we handled Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Coach Doyle gets these kinds of visitors on a regular basis.

It's actually fairly common. There have been times other schools/staffs have visited Iowa, as well. As someone mentioned, S & C/Doyle, but Norm Parker, OL stuff, etc. It's a chance for coaches to view another staff and team objectively. IIRC, Beamer, KF and several from their respective staffs did a Special Teams "talk" at a meeting in Orlando way back when. And as was also mentioned, we aren't talking state secrets or propietary info. Hell, if Dinardo and Griffith can get on BTN every week and dissect teams and their schemes, you have to figure the stuff ain't copyrighted :)
 
I am perplexed.
Should I be thrilled that the Iowa coaches realized we could use some fresh ideas?
Should I be pissed because they have waited this long to go get some help?
Should I be going postal because our staff is to retarded and inept to figure it out on their own?

Well, you should be a little disappointed that apparently none of the UGA coaches happened to mention something like "Of course many of our audibles are pass plays- we're not dumb!"
