re: Does Kirby have one more mulligan or does he need to beat Saban next year?

He is at the same level as Richt at this point.

Richt's first 3 years were damn good years, they are not what got him fired. He got fired when he got complacent with JUST winning 10 games. Richt was wanting that title his first few years. If Kirby does the same thing as Richt over the next few years ( gets complacent with being a good coach but a better friend to the players and surrounding staff ) I'm sure he will get canned too, but until then it can't be said if he is or isn't going to perform better. Take richt's last year for instance. His recruiting had went to shite, had to rely on a grad transfer QB that had been benched at another school. He also never recruited in the trenches. He lost his desire to get out on the recruiting trail and put in the work needed, either that or he was walking in the recruits houses like " frick it, you can come to UGA if you want. If not I don't care." Don't look at just the records when you look at who was replaced, you have to look at the whole body of work.
