He did. But he's also had more recruiting classes and coaching seasons than Kirby to accomplish that. Kirby has turned very good recruiting into elite recruiting and helped the program take a step forward which had gotten stale under Richt.

Kirby had advantages as well.
1. Kirby is an alumn of UGA
2. Kirby already recruited the area being with Bama.
3. Kirby is known very well as a defensive guru under Saban.
4. UGA is the big dog of a very talent rich state ala LSU. No in state comp and most kids grow up wearing UGA's colors.
Mac left for a few years and lost those relationships. Its hard to come in and steal recruits from guys like Saban,Fisher,Richt ect when you come from CoSt and have been out of touch. IMO IF we hired him fresh off of Bama's natty we would be in much better shape. Oh, well either way, recruiting is ramping back up now. Just took him awhile to find his footing and the right coaches who could recruit as well.
