re: Maybe Smart wasn't ready for a head coaching job

What an idiot! He sucks at coaching!

There are a few more saying that. but, at this point in his career, can you really argue against that? I mean, you guys are saying he is learning, right?
Richt sucked at coaching because he had clock management issues, lost to teams big on the big stage, and struggled against teams with inferior talent. Sound familiar?

The difference is Richt had 15 years experience and Smart is learning. However, if all those things are hallmarks of a coach whose coaching sucks then it applies to Kirby at this point in his career. Nobody knows at this point whether he will improve or not. I think he will.
