Both seem to be doing well...but if you are going to hold Kirby up for future results don't you think you should do the same to Orgeron?

Dude, you have to understand, I was not a fan of the Orgeron hire. Kirby was definitely the better hire on paper, as was Herman at Texas. Hot young prospects vs a washed up mediocre position coach.

We're talking about different things, but I do think it's relevant.

Kirby has UGA loaded with talent and playing at a very high level, but hasn't won the game that matters. Go back and look at Richt's career, and that is the exact thing you can say to sum it up- fantastic talent, somehow didn't win the big game.

LSU hates the losing streak to Bama, but the biggest issue has been the caveman offense. Basically the QB would line up in the I formation, and yell "Hey, we're going to run offtackle to the right. You got that? Good. Hut-hut";
and we still won 8-10 games a year on talent alone.

LSU fans know you can't win a title like that anymore. You can't beat Bama with that. You couldn't before, when they played about the same way, and you sure can't now that they have Tua and the "Big 12" offense.
Oklahoma figured that out a decade or more ago, followed by TCU. Ohio State and Penn State have changed over to it. Most recently Alabama has. Now, LSU is following suit.

So like I said, different goal posts. UGA is in the spot of needing to win a title, and LSU is in the spot of needing to change philosophy without collapsing.
Might seem unfair, but I think it's how both will get judged.
