Are Georgia fans the most nervous on this board right now?

I would say yes. Another blowout this week and they know it will be a loooooooong time before they're relevant again. Their cupboard is not bare. It's not bare enough to be down 45-0 in the 2nd half. Vandy is not even that bad.
Another blowout and recruits will start looking elsewhere. Georgia will be stuck with Smart for 2 more years. The program will be dead. Don't believe me? Just look at Tennessee as Example A.

Ole Miss just blew a 21 point lead again

Feels like wishful thinking. Smart might not be the answer, but UGA is in a completely different category than UT. UT suffers from not having enough local talent to survive on, etc...the days of having a national brand thanks to the 3rd Saturday ended in the early to mid 2000's when WVU, USCe, Cincinnati, Vandy, UK, UofL, etc...all got more TV time. UT used to get all the best players from most of their areas back in the day.

They could get ahead of the curve and put all their money into soccer right now. We will all be jealous when it overtakes football in 20 years once it is turned into flag football.

Would've been an awesome thread in 2012, OP

Mark richt would have done better. This is a good experiment for LSU fans. It was time for richt to go. Same with miles. The fans got complacent with winning and thought they could do better
But you will see what guys like richt and miles do. It isn't as easy as you think
This could easily go downhill for awhile. See Tennessee. See Michigan.
It doesn't matter how big the program you think it is. You better get the right guy. Or these 9-10 win seasons won't look so bad 5 years from now

I'm not nervous, but it's definitely possible that UGA made a mistake. Smart was a blank page as a head coach. It amazes me that our AD would hire a guy like that and pay him nearly $4M a year. Might as well add a couple million more and go for an established coach somewhere.

Kirby is going to do just fine. Saban lost 6 games in his first year at Alabama. The recruiting at Georgia will be fine and Kirby knows how to recruit and coach.

You have absolutely no idea if he can

Example A is much closer to an SEC championship than Ole Miss. You may want another example.

Which is why I am thankful to the football gods that UGA went "safe" with Kirby and did not get Tom Herman. That would have sucked really bad. Now UGA has a rookie head coach, former DC, Sabanite. Sounds like Muschamp. Kirbys demeanor doesnt replicate Sabans a bit more than mine does. Only UGA would be stupid enough to follow the logic of "hey...we cant Saban but we can get his DC...thats gotta be close...right fellas?"

Pretty much every program gets a guy who hasn't been the head guy or the head guy at this level when hired. The Saban, CJH, CSS or Urban gets are few and far between.

Why would we be nervous? Because we may not win the east? We're used to that.
Richt was done.

I know that Richt didn't win shite!

Year 1 results don't seem to mean much for the long term success of head coaches

Maybe not at this level, although some were. But how many SEC coaches right now came in from an assistant position? And it's not even clear (at least to me) how much responsibility Smart had at Bama. I'd at least like to know the guy I was hiring played a significant role in some team's success.

Was Richt done winning 10 games a year? How about him winning 9 games last tear with essentially this years team but slightly worse without Chubb and Lambert as QB?
Like Nick Saban said today in his press conference when asked about Les being fired "I guess its the same reason Georgia fired Mark for winning 10 games a year..."

Put the pipe down Bama homer.
Saban had a much worse team talent wise than Smart. Saban didn't have a team down by 45 points to a team that was 1-2. Saban didn't almost lose to an FBS school. La. Monroe was bad, but not an FBS school.

The cupboard at Georgia ain't 31-0 at the end of the first half bare, but then again....
It wasn't 31-0 bare in the first half against Alabama in 2008 (with a much, much more talented team) under Richt, which nearly killed Richt's program at Georgia then. To me, it was the main cause of the down seasons of 2009 and 2010.
It also wasn't down 21-0 bare at the end of the first quarter against South Carolina in 2012 or almost lose to an absolutely horrible Kentucky team the week later. If we're going to use the logic that Ole Miss could've dropped 70 on Georgia last Saturday, that has to be applied to South Carolina in 2012. South Carolina took it's foot off the pedal at 35-0. The main reason for the turnaround in that season was not coaching, it was Shawn Williams.
If Richt is coaching that game, it's a 38-14 loss and he gets fired after it, like Miles was after Saturday. This board has a short memory. Even with Richt's GOOD teams after his old days of 2001-2005, his teams would get undressed at least once against a good team (and sometimes a bad team). He's a good offensive mind, but he's not a strong enough leader and Georgia's teams that didn't have strong leadership would win just 6 to 8 regular season games.
