I know a win is a win but if the GOAT struggled to beat trash teams with this same roster (excluding the likes of Downs, Amos, Turner, Bond, Arnold, etc.) then it was foolish to expect any other coach to pick up the pieces and go 12-0. Absolutely foolish.

I think we put far too much stock into this team's potential after forgetting how close we came to losing four games last year against teams with losing records. Had we not converted that miracle play against Auburn or stopped Arkansas from pulling off the upset, Deboer's leash would probably be a lot longer right now.



My man coming in here with some much needed logic after a bad loss. I' convinced Saban saw the writing on the wall with the talent of this team and knew it was time to get out.

Kirby got a decent roster.


Kirby went 8-5 his first year at Uga with losses to:

Ole Miss (5-7)
Tennessee (9-4)
Florida (9-4)

And wait for it.....

Vandy (6-7)
Gatech (3-9)

In addition, he had some very close games with

Nicholas St (5-4), Ga won 26-24
Kentucky (7-6), Ga won 27-24

Kirby didn’t take over a loaded roster that had just won the SEC championship. He elevated recruiting significantly. DeBoer will not be able to do that.

I think UGA’s 2015 recruiting class is part of the reason Richt was pushed out with a decent record (9-3). They knew they had a class sort of like our 2008 squad and felt like Richt would squander them. I don’t think Richt would’ve got them to an SEC title and CFPCG in 2017 like Smart did. Smart inherited good talent. He just had to do a culture reboot.

Kirby absolutely did take over a very good roster. Richt recruited very well at Georgia.

The fact is Deboer can't run his offense with Milroe. Hell, no one can run their offense with Milroe. He's just a terrible qb who doesn't learn and is limited. We are losing because of qb play.
