The Vic Koenning case
Athens — One more name will be scratched from the list of rumored Georgia defensive coordinators if the University of Illinois’ press conference goes off as planned this afternoon.
And if it doesn’t go off as planned, then today will get really intriguing in Athens.
Illinois has called a 2 p.m. press conference to announce Vic Koenning as its new defensive coordinator.
At this late (early?) hour, that press conference is still scheduled.
Koenning also has talked with Georgia about its DC opening, and by some accounts Georgia’s interest in him went from tepid to torrid on Thursday.
Rumors were flying for a while Thursday night, intensifying with an 8:45 p.m. Twitter post by ESPN’s Joe Schad that Koenning “now close to deal to become Georgia’s DC, changing from Illinois” and seemingly fizzling with a 10:02 p.m. tweet by Schad that “ESPN.com reports Vic Koenning will land in Illinois after changing mind twice.”
What we know for sure at this point is that Illinois has a press conference scheduled for today -– and Georgia doesn’t.
Anyway, I should probably wrap up this post by answering the question some of you might be asking: Who’s Vic Koenning? He’s Kansas State’s co-defensive coordinator and formerly the defensive coordinator at Clemson and Troy, and before all of that he was head coach at Wyoming. His last name, by the way, is pronounced CONE-ing.

If Vic prefers the ILLosers then its better he is not coming to Athens. I mean he prefers to stay gloomy, sad, miserable, and not to mention a loser for 200+ days in a year. UGA needs to tap into some new, young and unknown talent. Known DC’s are so overated. Need something new.

Ewwww.. As a diehard dawg fan, i am absolutely THRILLED we are not getting “vic koenning” just on the simple fact that Kansas State’s defense was almost as horribe as UGA’s this year. Please, CMR, get somebody who is proven among the elite, and who isn’t afraid of new schemes and blitz packages. Make it a Merry Christmas present for all of us Dawg fans..

was digging up some info on this guy and found where clemson fans labeled his defense as “bend but dont win”. like i asked earlier, does this sound familiar? aka bend but dont break… im trying to figure out what cmr sees in this guy or his coaching. i just hope it is more than he reminds him of his good old buddy willie and its not a sentemental move. im really trying to like him but nothing ive read has enthused me that hes considering taking the job or that cmr has offered it for that matter.

This guy’s waffling reminds me of a preacher from KS (no, not Glenn Mason, you Bulldog fans) who was “called” to be the pastor of a church in Stone Mountain. The announcement was made to the congregation here, then the guy changed his mind.
Seems his wife had other ideas – and, evidently, her calling to her husband was much stronger than God’s call!

I wonder if the approach, “which DC will be able to stop
Auburn, Florida, Tenn and GT offenses” is being taken?
Obiviously not with a hire like Koenning even being
Considered (Willy clone- ask any Clemson fan!!!). As a UGA
Fan, alumni and Athens native, I am a little weary of how
the current admin handles the program. It seems like UGA
Is Coached by Forrest Gump.

View from an outsider. Would Koenning really accept a job from Zook who is hanging on by a string at Illinois if Georgia was really interested? Doesn’t seem to make sense. Joe Schad must have been bored and felt like writing something.

Just because ESPN says Georgia is interested, so the Coach can get a better deal, doesn’t mean it’s really happening. Ask Bud Foster. A lot of these guys start a rumor like that to try and land a deal or get more money.

This is getting out of control. No way CMR contacted this guy. Its gonna be Bumpass, Withers or Smart. Thats it. And I hope its Bumpass or Withers because I thnk Smart could end up being a disaster. Is anyone else thinking this too? Saban calls all the shots. CMR lets his coordinators run wild. We need someone that has proven he can manage a D on his own. Smarts not there yet. If we get him it could be CWM jr.

As for Koenning – My view is we need someone who will coach more aggressively on defense. This bend but don’t break stuff drives me crazier than I already am after too many years of CWM. Bottom line is we don’t need any more of this bend but don’t break mentality.

Sal Sunseri of Alabama is a HUGE choice! In fact, rumor has it he interviewed this pas week?.?.?

the dawgs defense will be way better anyways just because the defense will be made up of upperclassmen, unlike the last two years. ala and fla just two years ago had two of the worst defenses in the sec/ country. they both had freshmen and soph mostly just like uga has had the last two years. whoever richt gets will have tons of talent to work with. most of you guys wont be happy with any guy he picks because your a bunch of negative complaining goofs who have no clue on how to run a defense except the one you play on madden…martinez would have a top 10 defense in 2010 if given the chance with jrs and seniors next year just like the new guy will. no worries here on how good the dogs defense will be. they have the talent always will just a matter of letting the young fresh and sophs grow up…

Why in the world would we be trying to hire Vic Koenning for DC? We might as well just call Willie back if that is the case. You cant tell me that their is not better DC out there that would be interested in the position. I mean come on Georgia is like the 3rd or 4th best state as far high school talent. I tell you one thing Evans better quit pinching pennies when it comes to such an important hire or he and Richt or going to be looking for new jobs in a couple of years. Again Vic Koenning, Vic Freakin Koenning are you kidding me. The Dawgs desperately need to get this right and I for one would have DICK BUMPAS on the phone right after TCU’s game is over.

Defensive Ends/Nutritionist- David Pollack
D-Tackles/Recruiting Coordinator- CRG or Travis Jones if CRG leaves
Secondary/Special Teams- Manny Diaz (can help recruit Miami)
Please say NO to Vic Koening!!!!!!!!
-Withers is not gonna leave Charlotte
-Bumpas is not gonna leave TCU because he is too loyal to Patterson
-Kirby is not gonna leave Satan unless for a HC position
-Travis Jones does not have the experience yet as a coordinator
-Will is not gonna leave Texas unless for a HC position

I just don’t believe that we offered VK the job especially when CMR said that it might go on until January. I believe VK really wanted to come to UGA and Illinois made him a great offer. He called UGA to see if we would make him an offer. CMR told him the timeline in January. VK then mullled should he wait on a “maybe from UGA or do the sure thing. Like most wise people, he took the sure thing. No way would he choose Illinois over UGA if we offered him.

Let’s face it, both ND and UGA have become irrevilent. Both schools recruit the best athletes available. It seems that a very low percent of those recruits excell as they progress thru their college career. What is to blame? Got to be coaching. We just cut our losses. Richt just fired three coaches. Will that solve the problem in Athens?

UGA fans can only live in the past!! The present belongs to Tech!! Don’t you get it, YOU’RE IRRELEVANT. When was the last time your name was mentioned on national television? People barely remember your “coach”s name!! What do they remember? A GT team with a winning coach, 11-2 record, ACC championship, and BCS bowl berth!!!
So long puppies!!!! Eat our dust!!
THWG!!!!!!

“And 30-24 is always and will always be better than 24-30.”
TOUCHE’
“Miami is always better than Shreveport”…thought of that all by yourself, eh poindexter?
I would agree except that in comparing tech gobbers being in town VS The Georgia Fans being there, geography has no relevance.

Just kidding. The three of us live together, and yes I mean we ARE together. We share a king-sized bed and we get under the covers and talk about that hot Paul Johnson, and anything else that pops up…..

Irish, I dont know if ND is irrelavent. They still carry clout as a program, and half the nation loves em, the other half hate em just because the first half love em.. Thats a good thing. Shouldn’t be a long trip back to relevantland.
But let’s be honest, they havent played good football in a long time. This decade. This is the first year in a long time UGA hasnt. UGA is disappointed to go to the bowl that ND would have taken in past several years.
Trying to maintain the nation’s longest streak of 8 wins seasons, and upset it’s not 10, is a far cry to figuring out how to have winning seasons.

To those who are “tired of” “bend but don’t break”, remember that Erk was fond of that philosophy as well. The trouble with it today is that most offenses have many more weapons to attack a defense near the goal line, especially with the fact that receivers ( including tight ends ) tend to be a few inches taller than your average DB. I totally agree that the new DC will have talent and experience available, and should have a “better” defense next year ( and would have improved even if CWM hadn’t been released ). But, there is merit in the argument that the offense needs to protect the football and control the clock. Wasn’t it CTT ( Auburn ) that made the comment that CMR would have to “learn to run the ball” to have SEC success? A modern “bend but don’t break” defense cannot play what becomes a “prevent” defense. Play must be aggressive over the whole field, and when the opponent reaches the red zone, the “shortened” field can aid an aggressive defense. Yes, that type of play can allow a big play, but if done correctly, the “timing” of the offense is affected and big defensive plays ( like take-aways ) will happen. I just hope the new DC understands how the “game” has changed.

Who are these GT fans bashing UGA? Forget athletics where UGA smokes GT, check the records. UGA is consistently in the top 25 national rankings and top 10 for some others, for top public universities (above GT in every one.) Last year rated the #1 public university for return on investment! Buzz on that for a while!
By the way, do you really think CMR lost out to Illinois? If he wanted Koenning, he’d have gotten him. We already have our DC, we just can’t announce it yet!
GT IS STILL A 4TH RATE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM

Too Many Stupid Dawg Comments!
You all need to check your facts – this was a big loss for Georgia. Koenning served as co-defensive coordinator at Kansas for “1 year” – and he is the one credited with improving the Wildcats defense, taking it from 112th in the NCAA in rushing defense to 16th last season and from 117th to 40th in total defense. From 2005-08, the Clemson Tigers finished in the top 25 in scoring defense, total defense and pass efficiency defense — something NO OTHER DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR HAD ACCOMPLISHED.
I don’t get it – if the Dawgs are such a top-notch program, how could they have lost out on maybe the best DC that will be hired this season (TBD of course) to a not-hot Illini program. Sounds like you all are just talkin’ uninformed trash without checkin’ the facts.

……I am watching MTSU right now and Manny Diaz will be the hire,bet on it. He is aggressive and he can recruit south florida. I personally do not want Kirby Smart,if he is good he will be a head coach in 2 years,esp with the talent we have the next two season’s as far as upperclassmen. You could possibly make the same argument against Diaz,but he needs to prove himself at least a good 4 to 5 years before anyone would offer him a HC position.
