Is this trying to suggest the 2 teams they inherited were equal?

Saban was a national champion coach before going to Bama. Kirby was taking his very first head coaching job at Georgia.

That wasn’t mentioned on Twitter, either.

The team Saban inherited had just got 6-7, winning only 2 SEC games. Recruiting classes not even in the top10 leading up to the hire. Coming off years of sanctions.

Georgia went 10-3 the year before Kirby was hired, and they were constantly pulling in top10 classes under Richt. #6 was the class Kirby was given, Georgia was also #6 in 2015 class, #8 in 2014.

Thread is just Georgia fans trying to stretch the truth to make Kirby look better than he really is.

Or are the two conferences equal at the time they inherited their respective programs? Saban came into the sec with urban, a sabanized lsu, darth visor, phat Phil, James Franklin, richt. Saban layed waste to some good teams and programs. Kirby smart inherited a team on the cusp and walked a path cleared by saban
