re: Realistically, how big is the gap in the East?

The driver that beat Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl in his second year and has beaten all east opponents by a double digit margin for 2 straight years is still pretty fricking good. 

Just because Smart is a better recruiter than he is a coach doesn’t mean he is a shitty coach, just that he is a really, really good recruiter

I'm not saying Kirby isn't a good coach. I'm just saying that recruiting classes don't necessarily equate to absolute wins on the field.

Also, freaking Lyle Jones nearly, and should have, beat Mayfield. He also had high recruiting classes. He just choked when the opportunity to win presented itself.

All I'm saying is Kirby needs to show it when it matters; on the field. When he does that I'll concede that UGA made the right hire to win national titles.

Otherwise, he's just Richt with a better roster and worse opponents in the east.
