Eason should have played after he was healthy. He didn’t because Kirby was an idiot.Kirby went with the right choice. The kid who came in as a true freshman and lead team to the title game..... especially given after Eason hardly played any once healthy again....
There was zero reason to bench Fromm once Eason was healthy.
Hindsight.....I live close to Athens and know the town. Eason was Favre in Atlanta all party no work. Kirby should never have even recruited Fields. He just didn't fit. Kirby chose the right guy and neither issue has hurt recruiting. The bigger black mark is Fromm's regression.
Fields fits any offense he’s elite. The OC should have molded a scheme around him and that gets Georgia in the playoffs and likely a title. Kirby chose the player that’s been his buddy rather than the right man for the job.
Imo Kriby chose Fromm because he is a better game manager than Fields. Fields is imo a far better qb than fromm. Fromm fits Kirbys offensive game plan, control the clock run run and not a lot of passing and for that reason Imo Kirby will never win a nc. He has had the talent on his roster to have a nc. But chooses if he gets a lead to let up and control the clock and the really good teams beat him, such as bama two years in a row, Ga would have won if they had played the second half as they did the first. Then when your team has went to the run run, they can't flip the switch back to the passing because they have lost the rythym of the game. Just my opinion. I am more concerned about Fla in the east than Ga for the future.
That played into it but in a minor way,imo. UGA had to dismiss their top returning receiver before the season even started and really had hardly any experienced receivers returning. That's likely the biggest reason Fromme seems to have regressed.
I bet He does! I believe he will be an elite coach, he’s already a great one in the making. I love His decision making on our staff, Cheyney is the perfect fit for a coach who focuses on being the general for the whole team and making the defense crazy better. I love how he doesn’t make it dramatic news entertaining, but instead all about football, and the proof is in the pudding. Is our defense not getting way better each game??( especially secondary and lbs) and did he not get the team to rally and go undefeated against SEC teams we couldn’t beat not too long ago? (Don’t care how “off” or “bad” you think they were this year, still the SEC) He has that fire that fans might not always be able to see but the players obviously do. He’s also recruiting great in the worst state as a program we’ve been in for a long time. He checks off all my boxes so far. I’m jacked about the future, go Vols!!It remains to be seen though if Pruitt can win the SEC and beat the big boys like Kirby has done.
Is 6 to 14 really that big of a thing to brag about? During the worst decade of our entire program? A decade where we beat UGA twice in a row anyway?in the past 20 years UT has beat UGA 6 times... it’s been “about to change”. For a really long time
Even worse...my kids like UGA. My daughter will straight up cheer for them 1st. Can’t blame her thought. My wife has some pretty strong ties with the team. My son will at least pull for UT when they play but still likes the dawgs.
It’s hard to predict how anyone will play in the future. As much as I like Pruitt - and I do - he will no doubt go with the wrong guy at times as well. Good argument that he did that with Guarantano at various points over the past 2 years.
As long as Kirby recruits to the level that he has been, he scares me.
We just need to win more games progressively over the next couple of seasons so that we recruit better and then ours can better compete with theirs. Pruitt does seem to be doing a good job of having them ready, most of the time.
Don't disagree but we haven't always made the best choices either. Let's take care of our house and let the others burn to the ground on their own.Jacob Eason is a likely an NFL first round pick, Fields a potential Heisman candidate and Kirby chose Fromm, a poor man’s Greg McElroy. Kirby is a good DC and recruiter, poor head coach.
Surprised Chaney’s coaching vacuum at UGA not getting more discussion. To me, that’s the disconnect.Hindsight.....I live close to Athens and know the town. Eason was Favre in Atlanta all party no work. Kirby should never have even recruited Fields. He just didn't fit. Kirby chose the right guy and neither issue has hurt recruiting. The bigger black mark is Fromm's regression.

Kirby good coach, and can afford to be average for a few years as they have stock piled such talent. But, there will be come that Richt, Les Miles, Fulmer time when winning 10+ games a year with nothing else to show for it will build to hot seat. Someone posted an article awhile ago where Doug Dickey believes the current playoff system w/ only four teams has built a "have and have not's" at the top (I agree)...if you're Bama, LSU, UGA, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson...there's really a "club of 6" right now who take turns in the playoffs. My opinion is need to expand the playoffs to 8 teams to break it up, because these 6 for the past 4-5 years have ability to recruit to playoffs, where everyone else pretty much on outside looking in.But some people on here are saying Kirby is a terrible coach and acting like he has done a horrible job at Georgia in 4 years.
