I wouldn’t be mad at all at Kiffen tbh but I’d be pretty pissed if it’s Dabo. You guys are living in the past with Dabo. He’s done in this era.

Our guys would flock to the portal if he was hired. His method of not letting commits visit other schools doesn’t work if you want the best recruits.

Lanning is unproven mostly and young but he’s inheriting a loaded roster and the best brand in CFB.

Kirby was early 40s and UGA his first job when he was hired.

I know Ryan Day is losing to Michigan and their fans hate him but would you guys turn your nose up at 11-1 every year after Saban? Day is actually more consistent than Urban. He doesn’t get blown out to teams like Iowa or Purdue and he recruits really well. Day was unproven and young getting the OSU job.

Day and Kirby have shown going young can work. Trying to hire someone like Dabo isn’t the move. No reason Lanning can’t do something similar. I think it can work. Most important part is keeping our roster in tact mostly.

100% my opinion. In the NIL era, a younger coach who still does it the right way is the way to go. They have less hang ups about the NIL and free agency realities. NFL and college have shown that younger head coaches can work well. Some people want to be coached by the older brother who has his shite together not their dad or grandpas.
