Hire Kirby and let him bring in Cristobal as OC. Pro style offense meaning we keep Eason, Best OL in college football, 3 of the top 5 recruiters in the entire country.

If we hire Kirby there's no dobut he would put together one of the best recruiting staffs in the country.

Had anyone heard what a Jacob Eason, has said about Richt being fired?
Posted on 11/29/15 at 5:37 pm to DawgNation2012
He hasn't. Been completely silent since it happened.

What if richt went out on his own(flew on his own dime) to ask him to follow him somewhere(Miami)?

Was asking about Eason, because Radi put quick update on Eason.

“That would honestly be just about perfect,” McBride said. “I would love for Mark Richt to stay and I want him to stay. But if they can get KIirby Smart somehow? Oh, man. I tell you what.”
quote:
5-star Ben Davis, ILB, Sr., Gordo (Ala.) — “Georgia is already one of my top schools,” Davis said. “So whoever they get as a coach it wouldn’t really hurt them at all. Georgia is still one of my tops. (Kirby Smart) is a great defensive mind. He knows how to get his players ready and is a good teacher, too.”
4-star Jaden Hunter, DE/LB, Jr., Westlake: “It would mean a lot. Kirby is kind of like an uncle to me. We keep in touch all the time and I feel confident in what he brings to the table not only as a coach but as a man, too. (He believes in) teaching young men how to become real men in the real world.”
4-star Tre’ Nixon, WR, Sr., Viera (Fla.); “I have no idea (about Kirby Smart.) I’m just going to have to see.”
4-star William Poole, CB, Jr., Hapeville Charter: “I still feel the same about the program as I did when Richt was the coach. But the right coach will definitely boost UGA’s chances. In all honesty, I hope Kirby Smart comes back to Athens. He played for Georgia and would be great for him to be the coach.”
5-star Demetris Robertson, ATH, Sr., Savannah Christian: “I’ve been a UGA fan for awhile so that will be hard to shake. Do you really think Kirby is coming to UGA?”

There is absolutely no way that Richt would do that. I can guess that he wanted to tell eason to make sure his heart was with the program and school, not just the coach of the football team. I would imagine Eason and Rochester had a good clue what was going to happen after those visits.

Well it looks like Kirby would be a huge boost for recruiting if we go that route, at least for the first year or two. If he has the right staff around him it could be a really good hire.

I truly believe Richt had no idea until this morning that he was being fired
Read the quotes from Eason and his dad after Richt's visit
When asked about what he would do if Richt was gone after the season
Both of these quotes were following Richt's visit.

“Man, Jake is going to Georgia,” his father Tony Eason said on Sunday night.

No, what it's sounding like is that Richt was faced with this possibility after the UF game but really didn't want to resign. Once he was told it has to happen because fundraising for the program was stalling until a change was made, he swallowed his pride and stepped down.

The Toccoa boy's reaction seems like he knew.

I heard Richt knew something was up after the UF game
Posted on 11/29/15 at 7:59 pm to Peter Buck
I think Richt went to Eason, Cleveland and Rochester because he knew they were the big leaders of the class and that they'd hold things together if he was straight with them on what was about to happen.

Most recent AJC article says that the decision was all but made after the UF game

Dawg Nation article says the same that Richt knew after the UF game.

So according to the AJC our coaching search is centered around 2 candidates:
1. Kirby Smart
2. Dan Mullen
Please God not #2
