Obviously both new coaches have won a bunch of huge games. Both fanbases are 100% behind the new guy.
Which team made the bigger upgrade?

Georgia and Richt. He’s actually won his division.

Orgeron has made me realize how bad Miles really was. I still think Richt was a good coach.

Kirby made the NCG.
I'm not sure O has even finished top3 in their own division.

Where’s Bama’s next upgrade going to come from?

So far Smart has had much the same results as Richt did with the one caveat being the NC game. Obviously if that was a win then I think Smart is clearly the bigger upgrade.
It’s too early to say what Orgeron is. Obviously it seems like we will be much improved this year, but until the record is on the paper we can’t say we improved. We have improved some from the later years of Miles’ tenure and like the Georgia side the feeling of the program is gaining positivity and we are just waiting on the results. I’d say it’s a tossup but I would lean Georgia if only for the NC game.
If we are talking about potential improvement and not improvement based on results already set in stone I would say O, just because there was more upward trajectory to be had.

O hasn't even come close to the success Miles had here. When O wins a Natty, plays for 2, with 2 SEC titles.... We can make a thread about an upgrade.
I'm hopeful for this year... But great recruiting classes and high hopes were here before O. Also, let's not forget our offense with Mettenburger, Beckham, landry, and Jeremy Hill.
Slow the f down.

If only they could play a game to settle it.
Oh yeah, 36-16.

4 coaches that have never lost a natty by 28

Georgia, for now. Pretty easy answer based on SEC titles and CFP appearances.

Georgia so far, although LSU games are more enjoyable to watch since O took over. Some of Les’s games were like watching a 4 hour prostate exam.

oh come on, man. Smart has won the SEC and played in a national title game. This isn't close.

Richt was a very good coach and an even better individual. He averaged 10 wins/season @UGA...despite only winning 2 SEC titles, he had 3 teams that were on the cusp of being in position to win national titles. It just didn't fall his way.
UGA was honored and blessed to have had him.

Coach gets the nod based on last year and the beginning of this year.
He's gonna lose Aranda and Brady either next year or after this season and I'd be curious to see how he does without em.
Kirby lost both coordinators last year and seems to have found solid replacements.

What are you stirring up?

Miles met the team potential moreso than Richt did; keep in mind UGA had some insanely talented teams, but was the lone Big 6 program to not win a BCS title. UGA's SEC champs under Richt never played for a title, surpassing Auburn in the "oh, by the way" category.
Kirby has been an upgrade over that.
Miles did win the big game once and played for it again. He won the SEC a couple times. O has not matched that yet.
Long term, who knows? Hate to say this, but Kirby's in danger of continuing the Georgia tradition of fielding really great teams that don't win it all, while O appears to be raising LSU a notch each season. We'll see if Burrow finishes this year out with the promise he's shown, and if LSU can continue this offense after he leaves. But if the answer to those 2 questions are "yes", I might give O the nod over Kirby in 2 years.

I'd go Georgia. Both have done well though.

Hard to say right now. Both teams are doingvery, very well. LSU is looking really good so far this year, but I'd prefer to see how the teams look at the end of the year. Maybe LSU still looks great....or maybe Georgia comes on and looks great at the end.
It would seem Orgeron was a great pickup, though. LSU got a great fit for their program.
