When you are used to 5 star loaded rosters, richt talent is an adjustment. Talent matters to a man.

That's not true. Pretty much every great coach who started their career at an elite program won pretty much right away. Bob Stoops, Barry Switzer, Tom Osborne, and even the likes of Lloyd Carr, Mark Richt and Phil Fulmer were all able to win at least 75% of their games by their second year. All of the coaches who struggled early in their careers were at lesser programs. They certainly were never at a place like Georgia where it should be very easy to win right away if you're truly a top coach.

and if they played the last 2 minutes of that game 100 times Georgia would win 99 of them.
Tennessee would blow a coverage with 12 seconds left and allow a 50 yard TD 99 out of 100 times? It's like a lot of people forgot that part happened

UGA's schedule means their floor for this year is 8 wins. They won't lose less than that no matter how bad or good Kirby is.

He looks like he's taking wing in that picture.

In fact I don't consider the Tennessee game a loss - it was more luck that anything else and if they played the last 2 minutes of that game 100 times Georgia would win 99 of them
This fricking place, I swear.

But Eason already has the makings of a huge career, which may overcome Kirby's OJT phase.
This kid might be a program changer.
Some Georgia fans need to breath and take a step back. First year for Smart as HC and the SEC is always tough.
I hate to admit this, but I have no doubt GA will be much better by the time we play them.

If that is the case, it will be a successful first year for Kirby.

I'm not saying we'll win out, but UF might be the only team we aren't favored against

5 games in and he has already loss as many games as he lost in 2.5 years at Bama...

Except that was Saban, not Kirby
DCs dont get credit for the win

How is this not true? He wasn't dominant when he took over at Toledo. He wasn't dominant when he took over at Michigan State. He wasn't dominant when he took over at LSU. He wasn't dominant when he took over the Miami Dolphins, and he wasn't dominant when he took over Alabama. Yet, we all know how great a coach he is. I'm not saying Kirby is a great coach like Saban, but no one really knows yet.

He got ALL the credit for the defenses accomplishments. So much so he delayed his move to Georgia because he was to valuable to the Alabama defense for them to play in the national championship without his leadership...
How's that dropoff to the Bama defense look this year??

Its been 5 fricking games. Some of you have to be retarded. Tis the only explanation. Had Dobbs miracle TD pass at the end of the game been swatted down, people would be singing the guys praises. Can we let the guy have a few years before we start this shite?
My God this board ripped into UGA when Richt was here clamoring over how mediocre he and UGA were...we get a new coach and 5 games into the season he is a bust and won't do anything.
Just say you hate UGA and go about your day. F

Wouldn't have expected it to drop off much if at all. They got another solid DC and they're loaded with 5 Star talent. Your premise doesn't really make sense.

Yes, I'm pretty sure his leadership, but also the loyalty he had to his current players was pretty fricking important for a National Championship game.

If UGA claims this as a moral victory, should the Nicholls game be a moral defeat?

Who the frick is this "Georgia" you guys speak of in this thread claiming moral victories? We lost the fricking game. Most UGA fans are beyond mad at that last play and none of us are claiming any kind of moral anything.
Kirby even said he doesn't believe in Moral victories.
This fricking board is full of morons.

I know that he must be working all hours of the day. Sumbitch hasn't washed his hair since August.
