Big lol if true

Under Cochran's leadership, connecting on 10 of 16 field goals. He also hit a 53-yard three-point try that gave Georgia a 24-21 win over Cincinnati in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl.

He doesn't actually "coach" the kickers. Geez.

In Cochran's first year as special-teams coordinator, punter Jake Camarda earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Year honors. Georgia also ranked first in the SEC in kickoff return average (29.7 yards per return), kickoff coverage (16.8 yards per return) and total kicks blocked (three).

That's a job well done.

Dawgs247 says it is personal reasons. Others saying let go.

Saw this on the rant so consider the source... Hopefully Scott/Family can find a good resolution to whatever problems they're facing.

Josh Pate saying that it has nothing to do with football but is a personal issue with Cochran. Rusty has echoed saying he will be away from football for a little while but could return before the end of the season.

Muschamp filling in in his absence

Got this going around on here twice. @TerryP and @rocknthefreeworld you two think alike!!

“Coach Cochran is currently dealing with health issues and is taking time to prioritize his mental health and well-being," Smart said in a statement. "We fully support him as he takes this time to focus on his well-being"

Not gonna pick on them for this then.

Sometimes a persons breaks unexpectedly. It can be life altering.

 

[rick4bama]

Lifting him and his family!

Heard it's adderell

Kind of agnostic to his situation, but… I bet folks in some companies could get away with saying they need a break from work for a little while to get their heads straight. Their minds just aren’t in it at the moment. A break with pay, of course. And possibly he also lauded for it.

I can see that. Some folks in his position live off that stuff. Gotta stay “up and focused at all times.” Sad if true.

All true....
But....even great ones like Coach K at Duke and
even good ones like Spurrier took a break to regroup
....can happen...

Coach K took a break because of his back. Spurrier quit, twice. Neither of these two were "regrouping." Neither of these two are comparable to what's going on with Cochran.

If it is a dependency issue or mental health issue, I wish him the very best.

How do you know...
Whether it physical or mental or-even family...
A break is a break... or regrouping....

and addUrban Meyer to the list

Personal reason is just that, personal reasons... wish him nothing but the best.

Absolutely.....a lot an happen in life that makes one "regroup"...
If you are around long enough...you will see it first hand...

It's very possible that Scott has been prescribed this medication since his youth. I have a friend that has been taking it since 16 and Barry is 55. Problem is as your body ages the balance becomes difficult.

Hoping for a great outcome for Scott and his family. If you don't have your health be it mentally or physically then you're behind the 8 ball.
