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


No, the right people finally tired of the "aw shucks" schtick and knew that his ceiling was just what he had shown: 9.5 wins per year. I wanted him fired years prior, but who the frick am I but one man in a sea of red that idolized the man for some perceived greatness because he used the words "God" and "Jesus" more than some other coaches with more wins and hardware.

It probably didn't hurt that the admin was assured that Kirby would come home and usher in sweeping changes to make the Bulldog Machine more sophisticated.

It wasn’t just that. Michael Adams wasn’t at UGA anymore and McGarity agreed to open up the wallet.

No one in UGAA supported Richt with the money he needed to compete in the SEC after Saban arrived…Not worth arguing over. This is the best era historically UGA has ever seen (yes, even better than the early 80’s) and I’m glad I’m here to see it.
