re: Coach Richt/Kirby trajectories.

I think the coaching staff overall has a lot more cohesion than it did with Richt. Richt's defense did well with Van Gorder but it was a huge fall-off when he left. Richt was also the OC I was constantly scratching my head at some of the performances. People talk about the Bobo years but he was also the OC in 2009 and 10 when the offense struggled. Kirby has shown he is a guy who can build a system - coaches will move on but we'll just add another coach who buys into the system. I guess in some ways Chaney could be the Van Gorder of the Smart regime since Kirby is a former DC.
