I didn’t think it was debatable before

I agree... for now.

I agree now that Malzahn moved on.

Probably so. He's done well. We'll have to wait and see on some of the newer coaches, but of the current ones that have been around for a bit he is probably a way distant #2.

And he's only 46. That's the best part.

0-2 vs Ed Orgeron is despicable though

But, but, but, he's Mark Richt 2.0.

Never was a debate really. It certainly wasn't Orgeron. Winning a NC is great but if I'm being honest, I'd like a NC along with occasionally being in the conversation.

How many NCs would he have won if Saban not been coaching since he started at UGA?

Love the GIF,
Yes Kirby is definitely behind only Saban as far as rating the SEC head ball coaches
Top 3 in the country IMO, HELL maybe top 2 on the country behind only Saban..

I put Kirby as 1st among the other non-Saban SEC coaches.
Saban doesn’t even need to be mentioned anymore — he’s in a whole other category by himself that even putting him on any list with other SEC coaches is beneath him.

Does the NCG count as a bowl game?
I always thought the bowl games were the semifinals and the NCG wasn't technically a bowl game.
If so, Kirby is 5-1 in bowl games.

Maybe he is.
Elite talent to the max.
Assistants?
Kirby gets too much praise IMHO.

Truth. The OP is rife with it.

Not debatable at all. Excellent recruiting is paramount to the overall package as well
