Scary thing is that he may not have yet peaked.

That said, I see stiffer competition coming from teams other than Bama, in the future. UT, if Heupel can actually capitalize on this success, LSU seems to be in good hands, OM is good with Kiffen, Jimbo...well, nevermind.

Then, there is still Saban.

Plus, who does AU hire?

Kirby will have plenty of opportunity to wrest the mantle of GOAT from Saban over the next couple of decades.

You could compile a list of the best coaches in college football, and kirby's record h2h is very impressive there as well.

Does Kelly being 0-2 against Kirby negate this, or is this stat as insingnicant as the 0-2 is against LSU with different palyers and head coach?

Just like “1980”, that line might be going away soon.

Take out his first season numbers, as we do often do with Saban and look at the dominance

What Kirby has been able to do is remarkable. Tuscaloosa rarely misses.

Very impressive.

He’s no doubt the best coach in CFB right now. UGA fans have to be feeling great about the future as well. Saban probably going into retirement will set Alabama back at least a little, and then he already has a head start on Kelly and LSU with recruiting and building his team.

The only team is see challenging UGA is LSU once Saban retires.

Pre Monken
Pre Muschamp

Different team and philosophy on both sides of the ball.

Same for LSU. Should be a great game
