Rate Kirby for The Season

Wayyyyyyy too early to tell but early reviews are promising. Remains to be seen how good that ND team actually is.

Defense appears to be as good as it gets, we'll see how the secondary performs vs Ms State's QB. We're losing alot of talent to the NFL after this year, how well will we reload? That remains to be seen.

Defense Grade= A




Offense looks better than last year, great recruiting class contributing early, recruiting linemen better to build for future. Zamir White committed at running back to combine with Herrien, Swift, Holyfield for a decent crop next year after Chubb and Michel are gone. Need more OL and another stud or two coming in at receiver, and hopefully we start to see more creativity in the offense... which we were told last year we were limited because Eason was a freshman and couldn't handle it.


Offense Grade= B+

I think he's exceeded expectations in recruiting, roster management and attention to details like bringing special teams up to par. Also the team attitude and competitiveness has improved and put us in a better position. I also like the way he's taken the tone up a few notches - much more serious about football and winning games and building the infrastructure.

He's still a work in progress on game day coaching. It also remains to be seen how he deals with our OC if we continue to struggle to put up points. However we're still barely into year 2 so there's a lot of football left.

In short I ink he has us moving in the right direction but whether we continue to improve or plateau is still questionable.

Defense A+
special teams A
offense C
Game management B-
Recruiting A+

Overall............. A

Defense A+ maybe the best in the country. Offense B- has potential to improve because of playmakers. Needs better execution and play calling
