I hope he never goes there. I love being able to cherry pick top talent out of the state.
Who have you cherry picked within the last 3-4 years that has been "top talent"...Dickson? Geno? I'll give you those two, but for the most part the battles have gone the way of UGA. This year still isn't over so i haven't conceded the recruiting class for 2013, but for the past years...huh?

In 2012, Bama signed 4 of the top 13 kids out of Georgia (more than any other school). UGA signed 3 of the top 13. AU signed 2 of the top 13.
In 2011, UGA signed 5 of the top 10, Bama signed 1 (had another commited, but he went to JUCO).
In 2010, both Bama and UGA signed one of the top 10 from Georgia (way to lock down your state UGA).
Three year total: Bama has signed 6 of the top 33 prospects in Georgia the past three years. UGA has signed 9 of the top 33. That's not bad considering it isn't our state.
This is back to my point about UGA being a "good" job that could be a "great job". UGA lets too many good players leave the state. To have only signed 27% of the top players the past three years is telling.

When Richt's seat was staring to heat up in '09 and '10, I argued with a lot of Bama fans who were sure that UGA would come hard after Kirby to be the HC. At a top job like UGA, they're going to want either someone who's a proven head coach or a coordinator with a lot of experience at that position. Kirby didn't have either. You look at guys like Bob Stoops, Mark Richt, and Will Muschamp. They all had 8+ years of coordinator experience before being hired as HC at top programs. Kirby is just now starting to get into that category and after another couple years he'll be a prime candidate for a HC gig at top programs. If UGA was hiring today, I think Kirby would be pretty far down on their list but that could change in a few years.
