re: UGA Getting Undressed on Mike and Mike regarding transfers...

AJ Turman didn't want to go to Miami anyway.

And this is the point that keeps getting overlooked. It's as if everyone thinks he wanted to go play for the coach who NEVER PLAYED HIM when he was perfectly healthy and we NEEDED the position depth.

Dumbass Vol fans cant help themselves from comparing us to their abortions at coaching hires

"fans cant help mentioning" = 1 poster mentions it

Kirby played at UGA, he is not sneaking out in the middle of the night to coach somewhere else...

Cool, no one said he was. But we did have Chaney as an OC already. And Sam Pittman, speaking of which. So we've got experience with them

...Georgia has light years more talent in it than TENN High School football does. Big, Big difference

Another "Who cares?" because what has it really helped you win in the past 10 years? Besides a nice BCS win over Hawaii and some top 10 finishes. Note: im not saying UT ahs done better because we obviously haven't

UT is a very difficult rebuild, UGA is a very easy one.

UG is in year 1 and UT is in year 4.

Not to mention our University does not condone punishing players who assist rape victims...

All players involved were immediately suspended from football activities and then reinstated (if applicable) after being cleared by an investigation. So I don't know what else you want us to do.

Doesn't the SEC have a rule you have to sit 2 years is going straight from one SEC to another?

If there is, it's pretty new. LSU allowed a DB to transfer to Alabama to be closer to his sick dad IIRC. He sat one year only I believe.

It wasn't a bad hire but Georgia is one of those programs that shouldn't have to settle for a guy with 0 HC experience.

Who was a better option?

I assume the thought is Tom Herman... but I put that in the realm of a Lane Kiffin type hire... bright mind but would have little to no loyalty to UGA... that's actually how you start the train wreck of a rebuild. I will admit that even I was drawn in to the allure there initially, but after giving it thought and seeing what Kirby is doing so far, I'm thrilled. If the worst "misstep" we get out of Kirby this offseason is this transfer policy, I think we're in good shape.

While I don't *love* the decision to restrict Miami across the board, I get it... He's coming in to push these guys, and he's going to push them hard. Remove the temptation to take the easy road out, and then maybe remove the restriction after this season or something. It really is interesting that Turman has outright said "I don't want to go to Miami" but yet that is the part that's getting blown up. So as of right now, no student athlete is being prevented from going to another program that they want to attend. Turman mentioned UF, but outside of the Pac12, no other conference is allowing those kind of transfers carte blanche right now either.

Ultimately, my thought is that if the NCAA wants to keep limits on the total number of kids that can get signed, this falls very much into a similar realm as a non-compete clause. Seems that if the NCAA stepped in and set a policy across the board, that would remove the need for coaches to set these kinds of limitations. Either everyone is allowing, or everyone is denying, or some grey area but with the same rules across the board. Additionally, retroactively opening up a slot for the current and/or following year's recruiting class when kids transfer seems like it would be a way to not entirely penalize the school for kids "not working out" and deciding to go elsewhere. (Maybe only if they transfer to another FBS program or something if there is a concern that there might be more shenanigans with "processing" kids?)

Saban signed Jonathan Taylor last year, everyone does dumb things. While I wish it were true I highly doubt this shows some sort of fatal flaw with Kirby that he learned nothing under Saban.

Kirby gonna have yall in the right direction in no time imo.. Look forward to seeing yall in atlanta pretty soon

If a player wants to leave, I am OK with it. In fact, let them go to whatever school they want, but they have to sit a year.

Coaches can get up and go when they want, so they can't preach 'commitment'.

IMO
