Georgia Football: 3 intriguing options to be the next offensive coordinator

2. Gary Goff, Head Coach of Valdosta State

Gary Goff is an interesting candidate to look at, but ultimately I’m not sure how realistic this could be.

He is in his first year as a head coach at his Alma Mater, so he may not want to leave it after just one year, even if it means moving up in college football class.

However, it may be worth it to try and entice him to pack up his things and relocate to Athens, Georgia.

Valdosta State Athletic Director said that Goff’s offenses “have been among the most prolific in the country” and also noted that he was impressed with “what Gary has done with his teams’ off the field, particularly in the area of leadership development.”

In his first year as head coach, the Blazers are 8-0 and have not scored less than 34 points in any game except for in their most recent win in which they scored just 20 points.

Not including the statistics from this past game (the stats have not been updated to include them yet), they have scored 43 points per game.

Throughout the season, the Blazers have already rushed for 2,020 yards with an average of almost 289 yards per game on the ground, and 7.3 yards per carry.

Their air attack has been very good as well, and they have thrown for 1,782 yards and just under 250 yards per game at 8.74 yards per attempt.

Altogether, the offense has been very explosive and efficient as they average close to 550 yards of offense per game and almost eight yards per play on offense.

His offense seems to be pretty quarterback friendly as his starter, Rogan Wells, has thrown for 1,586 yards already and has a 7:1 TD: INT ratio with 14 touchdowns. He has completed over 75% of his passes as well while throwing for almost 225 yards per game.

This offense seems similar to the one Georgia runs currently, but with more downfield passes and more creative passing concepts.

The run game does carry more of the weight for the team, but this system could work well at Georgia with a dual-threat quarterback like Dwan Mathis at the helm.
