Kirby gets a total pass

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.

Sorry. that wasn't necessarily directed at you. It was in general. Those of us that were critical took a lot of guff for being....critical. And....I was not meaning to criticize Kirby in this thread. It was mainly showing the irony of giving Kirby a pass for facing certain circumstances, while they were the exact circumstances Chaney faced, and people are wanting to run him out of town.

Not always. Sometimes your offense needs to play for field position....but your point is well taken.

(I am guessing the second part of your post was directed at djs, though, since it was his comment that you are responding to. I really didn't notice that we scored 12 fewer points over the course of the season. however, with the obstacles Chaney had, I would say 12 fewer points is still not altogether bad.
