Kirby Smart removes the obstacles
Han VanceI vehemently objected, publicly, to Kirby Smart retaining James Coley. I actually called for Coley to be removed mid-season, and kept on staff as a quarterback coach but definitely not a play caller.
With the addition of Todd Monken as offensive coordinator, Kirby addressed this. Georgia will open up the passing offense in 2019. Jake Fromm mentioned in his NFL combine presser that this was brought to him, and it was a consideration in him possibly staying.
Without Jake on campus, after his teams won 13, 11 an 12, a change was coming. Getting a grad transfer dual-threat guy in Jamie Newman under center eased that transition. Kirby has not won without Jake.
