Wims wasn't developed by Kirby? He's a transfer senior. Malik Zaire being good or bad is not on McElwain in the same way that Wims being good or bad is not on Kirby's. Good job getting a guy to transfer??? That doesn't mean he developed him. What player has Kirby developed?

Juco Signee in the 2016 class. Played last season... was not great. Played this season... has been significantly better in all aspects.

JR Reed... was not a huge contributor at Tulsa. Signed in 2016, had to sit out. Is the second leading tackler on this defense and has been a much needed addition.

Mecole Hardman - Sophomore - recruited as a DB. Kirby and staff decided to move to offense... was not good to start the season at WR... has become a weapon.

Ben Cleveland - RSFr - was not good enough to start on our atrocious OL last year. Was pushing for time to start this season but couldn't crack the line up. After Auburn game, secures RG starting spot...

He's only been here 2 years... he's got upperclassmen playing better than they did under the previous staff and he's plugged holes where needed. As I've said many times. Year 1 and 2 won't tell us everything we need to know about Kirby, but right now, his trend is at least good... will see how things shape up going forward, but I've got a lot more faith in Kirby than I would were I in your shoes with Mullen. QB in this recruiting class is a pretty significant concern. If Corral is gone, I'm just not sure who you replace him with that is objectively good enough to start early in their career. That's a problem.

ETA: @ Gallping Gish... hadn't heard that term in ages. Definitely was not intentional. Was just replying to posts as I read them... I type a lot...
