No, he'd also leave to do mission work. It has been rumored and mentioned by Richt on multiple occasions. And that is quite frankly the most likely scenario (unless we completely bomb this year)

unless richt loses enough games to actually anger the disneys into action or he wants to go to the carribean to save some souls he isn't going anywhere

and durden, would you want CTG to replace richt?

Not sure if I would or not. i guess it depends on how Grantham does the next couple of years and who's available when Richt leaves/is fired. As of right now I'd definitely consider him for the job. Dude can recruit, the players love him, and he's good at what he does. Definitely worth consideration IMO

If Richt leaves I would love to keep CTG on as DC but I don't think I'd want him as HC. It would be tough for him to stay if we hire another HC from the outside. I mean I wouldn't hate it but I would like for us to explore our other options (Patterson)

literally couldn't have typed it any better, get out of my fricking head

like maybe we could offer him an insane, like monte kiffin/gus malzahn style, contract so he could stay on with his staff and help the new coach out until grantham got the call elsewhere which i mean he eventually will get a shot somewhere. i just can't see it being SEC...yet

It's been said that Muschamp has made off the record comments about the Kirby and the UGA DC job. It was also reported on ATL radio, but was quickly torn apart. It makes a lot of sense.......

Kirby never had any interest in the UGA DC job. Ever. He looked at it strictly as a business/career decision. Not out of emotion. Out of respect for his alma mater, and his UGA connections, he heard UGA out. That's where he made his mistake. Many inside the UGA program jumped the gun, and assumed because of his personal connections he would "come back home".

The ones inside the program who made this assumption leaked it out to former players(D. Pollack), and media members who continued to spread it around. Especially Pollack. Once the rumors were squashed by Kirby, that's when the smear campaign began. In order for the insiders to save face, they claimed Kirby backed out at the 11th hour and stabbed Richt in the back. Just so the wouldnt look like they didnt know what they were talking about.

Since then UGA has slung mud at Kirby. They all consider him the biggest traitor in UGA history. Instead of coming back home and helping Richt bail out water on his sinking ship, he decided to turn his back on UGA, and continue working for evil Saban. Who is the complete opposite of Richt, their hero.

In regards to Kirby and negative recruiting, it's all been gossip from the UGA fanbase, and excuses for losing talent to UA.

Ask Dalvin Tomlinson if we negatively recruit. According to what he told the AJC one of the biggest reasons why he choose UA is because we didnt negatively recruit, because we didnt have to. I'll take Dalvins word over internet gossip.

Recruiting is half of a college coaches job, and he's an amazing recruiter. Recruits always talk about how Kirby's their "homeboy" and how they can talk to him about anything.

I know yall like to say he's some puppet, but he brings just as much to the coaching aspect as he does recruiting.

He's about as hands-on as you can get. He knows how to get the most out of 18-22 year olds and get them as motivated as possible. He's also our play caller for defense. If you watch any of our games you can always see him making calls, and yelling out adjustments. One that I'll always remember was during the UF game where he sniffed out the "jump pass" play, which resulted in a INT. Hes mastered Sabans D and its philosphy.

Whoever gets him will get a Jr Saban.

i don't knock his recruiting prowess, his abilities speak for itself. but georgia's needs aren't recruiting. sure, we could do better, but richt's issue hasn't really ever been talent. we need a proven commodity, a high name, someone who's price tag may be ridiculously overpriced but is the big name we need.

i want a guy who has shown a propensity for success and making the most of his situation. recruiting will follow. i mean,look at the talent under goff and donnan?

Why's this a question? I miss those guys. They were great. Richt is great too and all but those guys were the bees knees.
