quote:I already said I wasn't a fan of the hire. Objectively, records etc, O is still not on par with Les.
So O is already an upgrade despite not even coming anywhere in the same stratosphere of accomplishments? Let's do a checklist:
1. Has O won an SEC title? Nah? Ok
2. Has O won a Natty? Nah? Ok
3. Has O ever beat Bama? Nah? Ok
So there is not one objective thing that O has accomplished that Miles didn't... Meanwhile Les Miles won championships.. National and conference.
You are basing the idea that O is an upgrade on beating Texas. Let's see hiw the season plays out kids.
The biggest thing that needed to be done to LSU's program was to successfully change the offensive system. 2 games is no guarantee, and even a season means little. You need continued success. But if this does hold out, it's an upgrade to the program, which means the coaching move was successful.
The biggest criticism of Richt was that he underachieved with the talent he had, relative to comparable programs. LSU, Florida, Alabama all had multiple national titles during his tenure, and Auburn had 1, another shot at one, and an undefeated season along with it.
Kirby has come in and vitalized the program, but the national title count is still UGA 0, rest of SEC 1. He's had 2 cracks at Bama, and despite being close, he's 0-2.
He has to break through that glass ceiling, or else he's just Richt with different hair. Same team that on any given Saturday could take anyone to the woodshed, but doesn't win the big game.
