re: No team I respect more than Bama and it's an honor to be on the same stage with them

Dunno how Kirby did it so quickly

The key was that, no matter how awkwardly it was done, Mark Richt was removed swiftly... We had a reasonably talented roster... it had some gaps that needed to be addressed and the guys on the roster needed development and a culture change... but he didn't inherit a completely shite program, like most coaches do if their predecessor was fired.

I think we're all even a bit surprised that it's been *this* good, this fast... but most of us expected to be in Atlanta against Bama this season at least... just thought we would be facing Bama back in 2017 with a little less on the line...
