Dirk Koetter is new Falcons OC

…this year. Management ran off the QB he had developed and wanted (David Gerrard) and decided to go with Blaine Gabbert and Luke McCown. Gabbert barely hit 50 percent of his passes, for a pretty miserable 65 QB rating. McCown was worse, throwing for 4 picks and zero TDs, and a 39 QB rating.

That seems to be the way Chizik operates. I hadn’t heard VanGorder’s name more than casually mentioned until the day he was hired. I trust it will be a good hire… though I gotta say I wish we could just find out who it is. The waiting is killing me.

once bama and Saban interviewed him. Or perhaps Chizik didn’t like his stand offish attitude. From what I could gather he wasn’t quick to commit. He was looking at what else was being offered besides jumping on the Auburn bus.

Whatever.

Chizik is running the razor’s edge here with the program. With 5 star recruits out there who are looking at our program… I am worried. Again. It’s obvious to me that it is harder to land the prize than originally anticipated.

Funny thing… while I think Chizik is being very, very selective… I get the impression that Saban simply settled. I guess you can do that once you have 3 BCS championships?
