re: Should we hope Kirby Smart gets a head coaching job?

I think that the bottom line is that the players we currently have on defense just aren't as good as what we've become accustomed to. McClain, Cody, Dareus, Hightower, Barron, Millner, Upshaw, Mosely. Who are those guys on this year's defense? Even if you can name a couple, the reality is that these guys just aren't as good. Can they get better? Sure. But they aren't there yet. Rankings by recruiting services are extremely subjective.
