Well, according to most of the fanbase Kirby's recruiting success alone will determine the amount of championships UGA wins. I mean considering he's already a master of player development and the head coaching profession after only two seasons at the helm.

There's a well-established correlation between recruiting and success. With numbers and ampersands and all sorts of official-sounding stuff. Championships are won by good recruiters. Having a great coach gives you an edge over other teams with good recruiting (see Saban) but Auburn won a title with Gene fricking Chizik at the helm. And it wasn't just Cam -- one man cannot carry an entire football team the way one man can in basketball -- and it wasn't just Gus -- Gus' offenses aren't exactly world-beating examples of domination. It was the collection of talent that did the lion's share.
