Define better? Better coaching and improved talent will help for both UF and UT. They are both digging out of a hole comparatively speaking, UT much more so. Will they win one every four years? Probably when they have their roster filled out and a senior laden team...sure it can happen and probably will.

NFL players selected from Mark Richt's last 4 classes (2012-2015) is 16 +1 transfer so 17 players for an average of 4.25 players per year. In Kirbys first year of having his players eligible for the draft he had 3 juniors get drafted and a transfer already get drafted in 2018 (Wimms). The 2016-2019 classes for Kirby will probably see a minimum of twice as many players (~35) selected in the draft as Richt's last 4 years.

The talent difference between the rosters of late Mark Richt and early Kirby Smart are drastically different. We finally have a Pittman recruited line with upperclassman. The ILB, OLB, and DB units have completely flipped from where they were. UGA will continue to produce RB's and get access to solid QB's. The WR room is improving and the D-line is starting to show signs of life.

This team is going to be deep, talented, and well coached from here on out. Kirby knows the SEC is a line of scrimmage league and he is resolving that issue. There are no holes in the roster other than backup QB and arguably TE due to early entry to draft and transfers. You guys said Kirby won with Mark Richt players and he did. Now he has his guys and the train is coming down the tracks.

In hindsight this team is so different than Mark Richt's year four team it's not even funny. Will we still trip up every once in a while? Sure. Perfection in CFB is extremely difficult. Are we in a better place now then say UGA going into year 4 under Richt, and more importantly than the last 4 years of Mark Richt. ABSOLUTELY.
