The Rodney Garner effect …

[NATHAN05]

He was coaching at UGA in ‘98, but yes his recruiting in ‘96 and ‘97 helped shape the roster in ‘98.

I had to double check because I thought he left after 98', but you're right........he was in year 1 at UGA.

A lot of these kids don’t like his aggressive style of coaching.

If you make a mistake, he’s going to call you out on it. He may say a few cuss words along the way.

However, that just means he deeply cares about these kids and wants to get them ready for the NFL.

Yeah when I was coming up I couldn't play for a coach that didn't cuss and yell. Players will take that and run with it. I loved playing for a tough coach because I knew it wouldn't be anybody slacking. Back then if coach wasn't yelling or cussing at you, it probably means you're not playing.
