A couple of things. 1. I, like many older fans, had not kept up with Coach Will, but happy he has been having great success in recent years. I personally think being involved in the Georgia program is a large part of why he is coming now. He has access to the best coaches and analysts in the Georgia/SEC area and probably has a very good idea about who he wants to bring in as secondary coach.
2. I personally "resemble the remark" about 55-60 year old men slowing down. In 2021, as a 56 year old, I landed above the Arctic Circle to teach in a rural Alaska village with very little in the way of conveniences, but also nearly 0 distractions, other than learning to live above the Arctic...e.g. wearing the correct spikes with the correct shoes, having enough layers, staying away from mean dogs, etc. I was also still working on my 2nd Master's Degree, and continued taking grad courses throughout the first year.
Fast forward to my last semester above the Circle and spring of 2024 featured me getting mildly irritated at the kids for no good reason, became increasing frustrated at other nonsense and my neighbor at school noticed I was basically done. I had just turned 59, and was definitely diminished. I only taught one more school year and am now retired.
