34-7. Isn't recruiting a big part of coaching?
He’ll never recruit as well as Kirby thoughYes! Yes it is! I'm not discounting the recruiting and it's definitely part of coaching but I was very specific when I said that I think Mullen is a better GAME DAY coach. He just doesn't have GA's athletes. All things being equal, I really do believe Mullen would beat Kirby more often than not.
Is that because defense just isn’t as sexy now? Could you argue he’s as good of a x/o defensive coach as Mullen is an offensive coach? And it just so happens offense is easier to dominate with now days? I guess define game day coach? Is it only in game decisions? Or does the week of practice and scouting leading up to the week count as that? I think it’s an interesting debate, I think a 4th and 3 fake punt is probably the biggest driver of that argument, but would be interested to define game day coaching.Yes! Yes it is!

Well, it was posted on another forum I’m on. Backstory is (It was reported - and not confirmed) that she is/was the girlfriend of one of the pilots and he brought her up to the cockpit to take this pic. Do not know if it was in flight or on the ground. So, it goes around the internet and apparently the FAA is made aware of it and investigates. They determine that it was “in flight” and she’s sitting “at the controls” of an aircraft without a certificate. FAA determines the airline, flight number and crew and took certificate action against them. A very expensive photo of your girlfriend and may have been career ending. Again, that’s only the story that someone else (who may or may not have worked at said airline and with or not with said offenders) conveyed and I’ve never heard any confirmation of it beyond that. But she is quite impressive!![]()
UF fans disagree.Mullen had Mississippi State ranked #1 in the country at one time....Mississippi State! I seriously doubt Kirby Dumb couldve pulled that off. Also, Kirby inhereted a Rolls Royce program that Mark Richt built and already had a ton of talent on the roster! Florida had talent when Mullen got there but it wasnt exactly Urban Meyer era talent. I would take Mullen every time over Kirby Dumb when it comes to game day X's and O's.
Mullen is worse....34-7. Isn't recruiting a big part of coaching?
They went 8-5 in Smart's first year with Richt's talent.Kirby hate? I was contradicting the statement that 'Richt left Kirby a loaded roaster' being why he's been successful at UGA.

I suppose Smart isn't that Smart after all..........at least in 2016 he wasn't. Today, the difference between Georgia and all of CFB is their recruiting. Talent can make coaches look smarter than they really are. Don't know if that is the case in Athens or not but nobody outside of maybe Alabama is recruiting better than Georgia right now. We land 1 great player and Georgia lands 5-10 great players. There has to be something dirty going on, there just has to be.
There are no players on the current UGA roster that Mark Richt recruited.
Kirby Smart recruiting classes:
2016 - #6
2017 - #3
2018 - #1
2019 - #2
2020 - #1
2021 - #1
As someone mentioned to you earlier, you should research before you post. You let your bias do your posting.

Smart mirrors Fulmer in a lot of ways… great recruiter (which CAN win you a NC), ie Fulmer.Smart went 4-4 in conference play his first year, and has only lost 5 conference games total in the 4.75 seasons since.
That has nothing to do with what Mark Richt left him, and can't be attributed to recruiting alone. Even in the SEC east, it takes good coaching to end up with this sort of record:

But like Fulmer, no one will accuse or mistake Smart as being a genius on the sideline. But it doesn’t matter when you can out talent the majority of teams you play.
