re: Realistic expectations for Kirby Smart?We know that a top 10 finish 1/2 the time

My expectations aren't going by record because the record isn't why I wanted Richt fired. On the surface, Richt's record was consistently pretty good.

My expectation is that the team shows up ready to play consistently and isn't shitting its pants in at least 1-2 games per year. No more bullshite like the Bauta experiment that set him and the other players up to fail would be nice too.

Another expectation is in regards to roster management. Start building up the LOS (on both sides) and good things will come.

That being said, I expect several losses next year. Breaking in a true freshman QB is never pretty. This class looks to be great but depending on too many freshmen is never good. And we don't know what the offseason attrition will be yet (particularly transfers).
