Did you just compare Kirby to Saban??? all I needed to know
Clemson says "hi". Getting there is dang hard. Staying there is a virtual impossibility. Alabama is a fluke and what they've done over the last decade + will never be repeated. They're 1 and 1 vs Alabama this year. Let's not anoint them the next dynasty label just yet.
Smart just beat Saban straight up. The knock some TN fans make on Smart is he has elite talent but can’t win the big one. Well he won the big one. So please explain how Smart sucks when he beat Saban by 2 TDs?
Please don’t bring up the injured WRs. Injuries are part of the game and cannot be used. Sabans defense was healthy as was their OL and their Heisman winning QB.
Kirby does suck as a coach. I think he underachieves for the level of talent he has and is really bad at QB evaluation, but Georgia has SEC East lock down for the next few years. That is the reality. He can recruit and this championship will only enable him a better recruiting spiel. This win will help them recruit 5*s and sleep walk into the SEC Champ. It's pretty bad right now.
This year GA threaded the needle. The SEC east was in terrible shape. Mizzou was god aweful. Vandy was Vandy. SC and UT were working with first year coaches. And FL.......they fired their coach mid season. That early Clemson game proved....well.....not to be very prestigious. That's not to say GA was bad. That isn't my point. But even good or great teams need help from the other guys. All it takes is one rival to "show up" on Saturday to derail a season. If any SEC east team shows up on Saturday and beats them, they still go to the SEC championship. But drop that game, and you're a 2 loss team and you don't even get in the playoffs. My gut says that the SEC East as a whole is going to take 2 steps forward next year. That is enough to say that someone is going to "show up" at least once.UGA could easily be in the NC game next year. They may not but they will rule the East.

" omg, Kirby is so awesome"
"Omg, Kirby is the best coach"
"Omg, Kirby is the best recruiter"
" Omg, Kirby is going to win forever"
"Omg, I wanna have Kirby's baby"
I have to agree with that we had best talent in Nation after 98. 1999 , 2000 & 2001 we were the best on paper. I’m with you if someone told me our fate I would have laughed at that prediction.You never know how things will play out. If someone told us that we'd never sniff another SEC title right after Phil won the NC we'd have called them crazy.
I think Smart will more than likely be more successful than Phil down the stretch. He's recruiting at a higher level and the SEC East looks pretty easy for the foreseeable future. He's already won the East 4 times, Phil won it 6 in his whole tenure.
No, I don't think he's a great X's and O's guy but he brings in a crop of thoroughbreds every year
Saban took over Bama when they’re weren’t good and built them into a winning program.
Smart took over a 10 win team with elite players and had very little to no rebuilding involved.
It’s still early in his tenure and both won NC at basically the same point. Yeah sure Kirby will keep them up there in the conversation for a while just like Fulmer did, but very few coaches once they reach the pinnacle can repeat.one of Fulmer s main problems was recruiting dropped off. Don’t see signs of that with Kirby right now unfortunately . $$$
