re: Richt vs Kirby after 3 years

Did it seem to y’all that Richt looked tired his last couple years? To me a total outsider he just didn’t look on TV like he didn’t have the fire he use to have. He was never a firey guy but I thought he looked tired

This exactly. It was hard to tell because he was never an overly emotional coach. But the results speak to his fatigue. The players seemed to go through the motions instead of playing with intensity, and he seemed to have lost his intensity on the recruiting trail. I was surprised when he took the Miami job. It didn't take him long to realize he needed to get out of coaching.

Kirby, on the other hand, is full of intensity. He could burn out too, but it's going to take awhile.
