There’s so much to unpack here.

1. UGA has used the transfer portal less than any other SEC team, so kind of a dumb point

2. What other school has a better combo of in-state talent, unlimited recruiting/football budget, and quality of student/athlete life than UGA? Not to mention there is virtually no in-state competition for recruiting.

This is why Georgia is considered the top job in the country these days. It has everything a coach could ever want.

This is 100% true. The GOAT realized he had made a huge mistake less than 6 months after he left LSU for the NFL. He told Jimmy Sexton if it looked like the LSU, Bammer or UGA jobs might have a opening he had his permission to initiate talks with those 3 schools.

It was pretty obvious that UGA was close under CMR, he just wasnt willing to play the games it takes to get to the next level.

The talent in Ga is insane. I remember when Robert Nkemdiche was a Sr in HS 7-8 kids just from Gwinnett County signed with SEC schools

A top 3 program in SEC history and a top 12 program in CFB history.

Just because we're now in an era of success LSU has never accomplished don't pretend we've historically been an ole miss level program.

A top 12 program historically, in a talent rich state, that had conference titles but came up just short of the big one on multiple occasions.

If you think Kirby’s success is due to the transfer portal and NIL, you’re obtuse and not to be taken seriously.

Georgia was sitting on the most fertile recruiting grounds on the planet. The only thing that was holding this program back was the inability to keep the talented Georgia boys from crossing the state lines and playing for everyone outside of Georgia and carrying their teams to championships. All Kirby did in his first two years was prioritize recruiting the state before going nationally with his recruiting. That has taken Georgia - a perennial top 10/15 team and made them a Top 5/ Playoff team since he's been here. Georgia is one of the best jobs in the country because of said recruiting ground.

One of the Top 15 programs of all time (wins, winning percentage, bowl games, etc). About 2 levels up from Aggie
