Georgia names OC

   

   As expected Kirby Smart has named James Coley the Offensive coordinator. I must say that it’s not a surprise as most reports coming out since Jim Chaney's departure were that Coley would simply step into the role. Coley inherits a loaded unit losing only 7 in it’s two deep. The Running back position should still be a strength  even though Elijah Holyfield has moved on to the NFL he Dawgs have an embarrassment of riches in the backfield. Swift will be the bell cow but look for Brian Herren to have a breakout year in his senior season. Herren a very talented runner in his own right has battle the injury bug and a crowded backfield since he step on campus this is his last go around and I think he'll make the most of it. Zamir White is coming off am ACL tear and should be back to 100% by spring. He'll be battling for playing with James Cook and Kenny McIntosh. The Offensive line returns 4 of 5 starters losing center Lamont Gilliard. Gilliard's leadership will be hard to replace but the biggest line in college will only get bigger.
     The real question on the offense is who emerge at the wide receiver position opposite Jeremiah Holloman. Demetris Robertson, Tyler Simmons, Trey Blount and Kearis Jackson will all be in heavy rotation to fill the roles left by Riley, Godwin, and Hardman. Also look for Matt Landers and Dominique Blaylock to make a strong push for playing time. Overall the table is set for Coley to be successful with so much talent surrounding one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Jake Fromm. The offense will have to be more wide open than it was under Chaney but the run game is still the bread and butter for the Dawgs and with this o-line and those backs it should be. Jim Chaney is a good play caller but at times he can be very stubborn and predictable it will behoove Coley to learn for those mistakes. Of course we are all rooting for him to succeed and wish him the best. One coordinator down one to go stay tuned.
