The offense scored two more TDs in 2015 than 2016. I don't see the improvement.


Considering the circumstances? The OL, WRs, Freshman QB? I would say he must have done an amazing job considering those limitations. Did I get frustrated with the runs straight up the middle? yes.

I'm surprised that Kirby gets a total pass and Chaney gets crucified.

When I criticized Kirby for in game decisions, he was defended based on those circumstances. Why does Kirby get a pass and Chaney gets run out of town on a rail? They faced the exact same circumstances (Save that Kirby was a first year HC)


DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME. I think Kirby and the team showed a lot of progress as the season went along. Chaney does deserve some criticism. I am not arguing that he does not. However, IMO, I think Chaney gets a lot of criticism because people from other fan bases "warned" us about him.

Or are you talking about the 100 or so more yards that didn't amount to anything?


I don't know that they didn't amount to anything. They may have resulted in 2-3 TD that won us games. I mean, it's silly to say 100+ yards meant everything or meant nothing. What I am saying is if we say Kirby was coaching at a disadvantage compared to last season because of the OL, WRs drops, etc. then shouldn't Chaney get the same consideration?

I think we will see massive improvements next season with a more solid OL, new WRs in addition to Riley and Wims and another year fo experience for eason.

I guess my main point was to those that were wishing he were fired after this season. Seems very premature considering the circumstances.

He got nothing of the sort from me. I was probably the first person critical of Kirby here.

You posted season long stats. Those stats had less points this year than last. That's the whole point of offense, scoring points. The only thing the extra yards are good for when they don't end in more points is threads on the internet showing some semblance of justification for firing Richt to hire Kirby. Don't get me wrong, Richt's time was up. But we ended up with Kirby Smart and VA Tech ended up with Justin Fuente. And Fuente is making half a million less.


I will say the offense progressed over the course of the season. Kind of. They took a huge shite on the field against Auburn. Eason still can't hit open receivers. But the run blocking improved a ton.
