What was he thinking? Go for it, send out the punt team, then actually go for it?

Not saying it cost us the game, but Kirby's play calling was suspect tonight and the first Bama game. Although if you asked most UGA fans after the first five games if we would be in the playoffs, 90% would have said hell no. So I gotta give Kirby credit for taking his least talented team this far. But the 4th down calls were hard to watch.

In your own territory, down only 3 with plenty of time left in the 4th quarter? Then you are indecisive? Should I punt, should I go. Lots of confusion. Why not try to draw offsides first? That was a cluster that ended up losing the game.

Kirby is a dipshit.

Kirby is usually the epitome of common sense but that was just outright dumb.

How much was he paid to throw the game??? Had to have been high 7 figures.

Because we were the second best team on the field and he was trying to manufacture a win

It wasn't going for it that bothered me so much as the slow developing edge rush.

It was an awful call with 10 minutes left on the clock. Only out shadowed by DeBoer doing it 2 minutes into the 2nd Q earlier.

Especially after it blew up on DeBoer twice recently, including against UGA…

Bro straight up told his defense he gave up on them at that point.

Dumbest coaching move since Cristobal failed to take a knee against GaTech

KIRBY DOESN'T CALL THE OFFICE YOU frickING MORON

Where the frick do you idiots come from. He made one offensive call tonight. The decision to run the fake punt which was arguably UGA's best call of the game. Bobo would have asked to go for it on 4th down from their own side of the field and Kirby gave the ok but he didn't make the play call.

Didn’t trust his defense with how Chambliss was playing

My favorite clip of the night might be Kirby melting down over the missed holding call on Lacy’s TD run.

Still could have won, being inside the 5 and no td plus leaving time was the mistake.

That was the call that lost it for them. Kick and possibly keep a one score game. Instead give it to them on short yardage and go down two scores late. Made no sense it was a panic call.
