So obviously you felt the same way about Kirby when Vandy mercy-kneed uga between the hedges his 1st year, yes?

And when he lost to Butch fricking Jones?

And when he lost to Kentucky?

What did you think about Kirby when Tom Herman pants'd him in the Sugar Bowl?
Tom Herman.

I think even if we run the table and win the big trophy next year there will be fans, especially older fans, who will still paint a scarlet V on DeBoer’s head for daring to subject them to the embarrassment, the abject humiliation, of losing to Vanderbilt. They will never let go of that.

The reality is that with NIL and the portal, the old rules and expectations about who’s traditionally supposed to be good and who isn’t don’t exist anymore, and that is why I have said I hope that the biggest thing DeBoer learns from this season is that he’s got to have us ready for every conference game, without deviation or exception, because moving forward none of them, even against Vandy, can be treated as a sure win just by showing up and out talenting people.

Oklahoma was a way bigger black mark for him than Vandy.

I never got the feeling Kirby was inexperienced in the SEC and in over his head.

Even after only beating Nicholls State by 2, losing to Butch Jones, Vandy, getting blown out by a 5-7 Ole Miss team and losing to GaTech at home?

What would "in over his head" have looked like in his first year then??

Man... that's a lot of leash you were willing to give Kirby it appears. And you want DeBoer gone now?

I hope we go undefeated and win it all, next year, with him at the helm.

That’s what all of us want.

Tempers are just hot right now and people are pissed off and venting. And I can’t remember having a player who was as polarizing a figure as Milroe has become.

I also think no one expected Saban to be around forever, but I think there was an expectation that what he built would continue the exact same way just with a different coach at the helm, but that hope IMO was naive and misplaced.

Throw in the fact that the college football world has turned completely topsy turvy from the sport we all grew up loving.

But the thing is we get to do it again in 240 days.

Obviously. Or you wouldn't say stupid shite like Kirby not looking in over his head. Or even stupider shite like DeBoer should be fired.

Nope, I never thought Kirby was in over his head.

Since you have stated that you think that’s a stupid take, we can infer from it that you thought Kirby was, in fact, in over his head at UGA, his first year. Your words dictate it.

How did that work out for you? You’re not quite the evaluator of coaching acumen that you think you are and you certainly shouldn’t be calling others’ takes stupid.

Deboer isn’t Kirby. Kirby learned from the best and spent over a decade in the SEC as a coach and coordinator, coached in the NFL, had some of the best defenses in all of college football, won multiple SEC Championships and National Championships. He knew, “The Process,” and studied it and implemented it to a tee.

Meanwhile, the clown we hired got run off the field by his own player without consequence; refused to change quarterbacks when it was painfully obvious that not doing so would cost us games- even after the dumb son of a bitch was responsible for 100 damn turnovers in 3 games; refused to make difficult decisions in the best interest of his team; lost 2 games he shouldn’t have because he was woefully unprepared and had his team unprepared and thought he would win just by showing up; consistently looks lost on the sideline and talks about what he sees in his players’ eyes as justification for his refusal to make necessary changes; his team is consistently undisciplined; he can’t even dress himself without looking like a fricking bum. His only qualification was that he won an intramural flag-football championship and had 2 decent seasons at a Pac12 team- oh, and he beat Sark.

Nope. That clown ain’t Kirby.

What in the actual hell have you seen from Kalen Deboer that makes you think he’s anywhere near Kirby in terms of coaching ability and the ability to lead a top-program or even one that’s not in the Mountain West Conference? You don’t ever need to call someone else’s take stupid, again, you dumb motherfricker.

I’ve already explicitly stated that I don’t expect him to be fired before the end of year 3 and that I hope he can turn it around before then. At this moment in time, I don’t have any reason to think that he can (and neither do you- it’s just blind hope), but I hope he does and I hope he changes some things and succeeds. Everyone- including me- will be happy.

When someone is agreeing with you in that aspect (which is the most important), just take it. We don’t have to agree that Kalen Deboer is the second coming of Nick Saban. You can take your ironically-snotty comments and shove them straight up your **** arse, message board frickboy.

No dipshit. And I would expect nothing less than dumb fricking drivel from you.

I am saying it's too early to judge DeBoer based on one year. Referencing Kirby is a warning to not judge early. As you have stupidly done.

DeBoEr iSnT KiRbY!

Really?

With whom would you be agreeing? Nobody is saying that you intellectual fricking dwarf.

looking in over his head.

One could have easily surmised at the time, by judging Kirby as you are stupidly judging DeBoer in his first year, that he was in over his head.

Anyway, I changed my mind and read the 1st few sentences. After realizing it was as intellectually hollow as the rest of your posts I almost stopped but against my better judgment soldiered through the twaddle.

The point of me asking you about how you felt about Kirby is perhaps it isn't wise to judge a coach by year 1 because Kirby has turned it around and been very successful. I assumed you weren't a cognitive troglodyte, and for that I truly apologize. It won't happen again.

So, me saying that I didn’t think Kirby looked like he was in over his head in his first year wasn’t stupid, after all.

---

Yes. Yes, it was. But that's to be expected.

Let’s agree that we both hope Deboer turns it around and is successful and leave it, there.
