How will Kirby future proof the program where Dabo and kind of Meyer seemed to just dip for some random reason?

Certainly one glaring weakness of Clemson I noticed is whenever a Deshaun, Tahj or Lawrence wasn’t present, they were competitive but man….they looked like TAMU Bama 2022.


Thoughts?

The biggest thing will be keeping the offense humming. Since Kirby is defensive minded, that will require a strong OC and at least pretty good QB play. I think we can trust that the defense and overall recruiting will be elite for the foreseeable future.

Dabo is overrated as all hell and has barely been on Richt's level without an elite all-timer of a QB. Meyer mostly won with a unique (at the time) offensive system and skill players that were simply better than most everyone else. Once his talent dipped slightly and he wasn't a knew thing anymore, he was pretty average (I'm talking about at UF here).

Kirby doesn't fit all of that. He's won two national titles wiht a walkon at QB that people laughed at for most of his career until he started beating everyone. Kirby wins with defense and doesn't need a 1st round QB to do well. He also shows no signs of slowing down with recruiting and we should have a top 5 class as long as he's here, with most years being in the top 3. HE also isn't going to get scared and quit the next time saban beats him.

Tahj Boyd sucked, and that wasn't Dabo, that was Bowden.

I am just tickled pink to win two back to back.

This year was icing on the cake. Next year, if we do well, it is a desert bourbon (was going to say wine, but I like bourbon better.)

Seriously, I want UGA to keep doing well, but I sure am glad we got these wins before NIL stunk up the whole sport. I used to plan my falls around UGA football. Not now. I am content, but will still enjoy the games when I can.

We appreciate your concern. I think it boils down to coaching ability, work ethic, and ability to choose good staff members and willingness to delegate authority to them. Kirby, like Nick, has all of that. He's no Dabo or Meyer.

When you see honest in the title you're 100% guaranteed it's a troll thread.

The Danger for UGA would be a Monken or a Monken grade OC leaving and missing on the next OC hire.

Kirby isn’t going to have the top overall class every year. But he is going to have the best or one of the best defensive classes year after year. He’s recruited and developed better there than anybody in broad strokes there in his short time at Georgia.

UGA has also recruited and developed OL very well.

We were recruiting RB at an elite level but that has tailed off some and they haven’t had what AL, OSU, and Clemson have had at the QB and WR position. No problem acknowledging that.

Kirby needs an independent minded creative OC.
