And for this to be his first full year? If he can translate this on to the filed we could lock down the state like LSU does Louisiana. I am amazed at the job Kirby is doing on the recruiting trail.


And here's the thing, even if kirby only turns out to be just an "above average" coach we're still going to rack up wins just on talent alone.





I don't think so. Kirby will not string together multiple top-5 classes if he can't win (somewhat) big. UT's house of cards crumbled- they are going to slide until Butch is let go....all because they didn't win with the talent they amassed.

This is our risk. We elevated recruiting, if we don't coach well the net gain may be very little or even zero. If we do coach well, there really is no limit to what could be built.

Well we also hired the defensive coordinator for arguably the best college football team in the country who put together some of the best defenses in the country as well. Kirbys not just some coaching hack who could recruit well.

Whether or not he can Transition to a head coach still remains to be seen but it's not like he's coming in with a worse Pedigree than Richt or Dabo did in their first head-coaching position.

Tennessee really only had one really good class, though. (Maybe two? I can't remember) They recruited very average other than that.

We need to win the East in 2017. Tennessee loses a lot. Florida loses a lot. South Carolina is still a year or more (Maybe MUCH more) away. Missouri, ugh.
This is the year. if we don't win the East, we could be in trouble.

We are getting the players, now we have to develop them.
