What I appreciate about Kirby

An honest take, refreshing.

It's kind chuckle worthy reading the tiger rant since so many of them think "kirby shart" is about the dumbest coach to ever live. I swear based on some of those posters you'd think that a staff of secranters would be a better coaching staff than kirby.

exhibit A, folks.

LSu fans love, and buddy I mean LOVE, pointing out that kirby is 0-2 against LSU. Yet they never mention the fact Kelly is 0-2 against UGA.

My theory that is probably at least 90% correct is that most of the more mouth breather-type lsu fans base their whole entire opinion of kirby on one single game 4 yeras ago, that being the 2018 lsu game. No excuses, they whipped our butt that day. We were ranked high, had a good team, and they beat us handily. But it's like literally every other game the man has coached in his life has never taken place. They will REPEATEDLY point to that one game as PROOF taht kirby sucks and is overrated.

The ones that do branch out some and try to look at the here and now will WITHOUT FAIL use the missouri game as their #1 gold standard on how our team is this year. "You see them against missouri? Or kent state!?!? LMAO. They overrated!" Of course they conveniently forget that we beat the shite out of a team that beat the shite out of them. We also had our team solidly on cruise contorl with zero effort at the end of games against common opponents UF, AU, and MSU while they struggled with all.

But nah, those don't matter. 2018 UGA/LSu baby, only talking point you need.

he’s going to need to beat LSU to gain more of their respect.

I totally agree with this perspective, because it's entirely correct. That said, I like our chances in the Benz against a Brian Kelly-coached LSU squad, especially given that Kirby's had Kelly's number twice already.

He's earned the respect he's getting now. The man has built a solid program. I do remember him catching flak from all points about not getting over the hump with his talented rosters- including from within his own fan base. That's all over now.

Our team shouldn't be looking anywhere past A&M, at the moment- but I look forward to seeing them play the Dawgs, next weekend. They're far and away the best in the land at the moment- and will be quite a challenge. That's what it's all about.

Ok, dawgs. So you mean to tell me that if Kirby had actually spanked LSU those two times

---

one time is the only one that means anything. 2019 yall had one of the best teams ever fielded and we had james coley and our 2 best offensive players limited or out. I mean yall should have won that game by multiple TDs and did, so that game doesn't really factor into anything especially in regardes to coaching.

quote:

y’all wouldn’t be beating your chest over that going into the game?

I'd be happy about it, it'd be a great point of pride, sure. I wouldn't base any one single game on my opinion of a coach/team/program/etc.

you don’t count 2019? Man that’s pretty sad. But whatever helps you sleep at night buddy.

kirby's 2 losses to lsu are on the road and against a top 3 CFB team ever.

don't get me wrong, those are both good things that lsu should talk shite about.

we were even teams in 2018 (we were probably "better") and lsu beat our arse. that's a great win. the next year, i truly don't care about, a coaching staff of lombardi, saban, bryant, and knute rockne would have lost by 20.

but talking shite about kirby at this point is about the dumbest fricking thing you could do in CFB

ou don’t count 2019? Man that’s pretty sad

do you have problems with reading comprehension? Seriously. Did you read what I posted?

When it comes to determining if kirby is a good coach or he sucks, no, I do not count 2019 just like I don't base my opinion on if Clark Lea is a good coach or not based on what happens when they play UGA.
