Georgia’s football program is coming off a dream season that included everything but the national championship.

The success of a year ago is not lost on Bulldogs offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, who helped guide a freshman quarterback and three new starters on the line to a 13-2 record and a Southeastern Conference title. He’s just not taking any credit for it.

“When I was a young coach, I once drank that Kool-Aid and that it was all about me,” Chaney said Saturday during a news conference. “The next year we fell flat on our face. I learned that lesson the hard way. What happened last year is just last year. Will what took place last year happen this year?

“There is no guarantee of that. You attack each year and try to be the coach you can be. My name is stapled on this offense, and I want it to do well.”

Chaney is entering his third season as offensive coordinator of the Bulldogs and his first overseeing tight ends, with former receivers coach James Coley now in charge of quarterbacks.
