re: Kirby Smart since being hired in 2016

Mark Richt went 9-3 the year Georgia fired him to hire Kirby. They must have had a ton of faith in Kirby and it's paying off

They finished with 10 wins after the bowl game, and it was one of the emptiest 10 win seasons in the history of cfb. We didn't even finish ranked in one of the polls and beat no one of consequence. Georgia Southern took us to OT that year. It was the right move to move on. Richt was clearly on the downside by that point and the program was totally stagnant.
