re: Why is UGA being written off in the East?

Saban has had a few flops.

However, Mark Dantonio and Jimbo Fisher are pretty good.

People are pretty excited about McElwain in Florida,

Kiby has a lot going for him and was extremely patient. I think that bodes well for him. The truth is I don't know if UGA fired CMR last season , if KS had not started to seriously look at other jobs. I believe he had set his sights to Athens a long time ago and UGA had been focused on him and his carrer choices as well. It was finally time.

Criticize Dooley all you want and he made plenty of mistakes at UT, but he inherited a lot of problems and also made it worse. Similarly underlying issues at UF caused coach Boom to make some really boneheaded mistakes. Hopefully WM ll be more patient and calculating at USC.
