If Kirby was indeed the second Saban…

he would toss Bobo out on his head and offer the checkbook to Monken on bended knee. A universally accepted truism in business is you don’t hire friends or family. You absolutely must be able to remain emotionally detached from business decisions for any hope of longevity and productivity. IMHO Kirby’s broken this rule to perhaps his own detriment. What made Saban Saban was his strict adherence to excellence damn the cost or who got their feeling hurt. I can’t see him ever hiring his BFF, but I can certainly see him firing him if the product standard dipped one millimeter. People are their own worst enemy and Kirby is not exempt from that either.

Kirby will never fire Bobo.

Honestly, I wouldn't even say all of this is on Bobo either. There were plenty of times the O just didn't execute.

Oline constantly getting blown up, couldnt run the ball consistently, and Gunner having constant up and down games.

I think the parity in the game is the biggest thing. Like others have said, we can't just load up the roster with studs and expect them to stay longer than a year if they dont get playing time and/or money.

I can't believe that UGA is not considered competitive with NIL though.

You would think the admins would tell Kirby that the checks are blank and get who we want or need.

Thats the part that needs to be fixed though. NIL has made the game interesting, but its so broken that I have 0 buy in on players on our team cause any of them could leave.

If that were to happen, Monken would still have to deal with a problematic OL and it's OL coach. And, it appears the WR room is still not very good. I know injuries have something to do with the passing struggles at times but still.

IMO, your opinion is not worth a flip, and if the "H" stands for Honest, it's not that either.
