I always believed his resignation was a save-face thing...and that
they wanted better offense, looked at Coryell, Walsh and Reeves
but then again Allen and Malavasi were interviewed and they were defense

But I could be wrong, maybe it was a "mutual agreement"

I do recall that one of the reasons Georgia hired Knox in 1992 where John Shaw wanted her to hire Mike Holmgren was Georgia said "Carroll always felt he made a mistake in letting Chuck Knox go." I believe it was mutual, but after the Allen debacle and then giving the job to Malavasi I am sure CR wish he had just kept Knox. Although Fred Dryer did say that Knox would never deviate his game plan come post season, just stuck with what they did during the regular season and teams were prepared for them, whereas with Ray (Malavasi) we knew he would try other things.

  Maybe.... but I doubt it... Georgia and John Shaw wouldn't write the paychecks.

  The Goal Was To Open up the Offense & CR Hired Allen.

den-the-coach41June 15, 2023 02:32AM

  Allen made all sort of promises about opening up the offese.

  Yeah I think I heard that, too. Allen traded him but it got revoked by Rosenbloom
