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.


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.

No guarantee a new coordinator is going to fit/perform but given how thorough Kirbs is, the succession plan is probably well fleshed out.

Hopefully incorporates a broader pool of internal/external candidates.

Nick Saban has been right there or on top in recruiting. But he has been falling off the radar with getting the right OC and DC. Those two are what is killing him, but I believe age is the biggest reason for the decline of the team against Kelly at LSU and Heupel at Tennessee. Those two were Alabama only losses. Kirby had no problem beating Tennessee. I am not sure what went wrong with Alabama. We will all find out this year if he is back on top or not. Alabama might end up with similar record from last year or worst.

Lol, laughable take about Urban. He won 3 titles all with separate QBs, he was super passionate about special teams which were always making game changing plays. He routinely had elite defenses. He was a CEO to the max. He went 14-0 with Utah. Won at UF, Won at Ohio State.

Urban’s downfall was his own mental instability and allowing toxic workplace cultures to bring everything down.
