re: Kirby Smart is officially a 1/3 of the way through Richt's tenor. When is a NC required?

Kirby had better recruits when he came to Georgia. See previous four year classes for both programs.

Mullen MADE the players he had better. He is a better developer. Smart is a better recruiter. Mullen is one of the best developers in the game, he took guys underachieving and found a way to use them incredibly well. I mean freak we won four games the previous year.

Georgia had more five stars, and a higher blue chip rating on the roster when kirby arrived. Them not being drafted like Mullens kids only shows he does not develop as well, not that he had less talent to work with.

Mullen had a roster with I believe one five star, and the lowest blue chip ratio UF has had since recruit rankings started. We were absolutely not loaded.



Smart is a better recruiter and has Georgia set up insanely well. He built an amazing foundation. He does seem to have issues getting buy in from players at times for some reason, and getting the most out of the absurd talent he has recruited(especially on the offensive side).

Mullen is a better talent developer, I mean arguing otherwise is simply foolish. He has to improve recruiting overall to overtake Georgia on a yearly basis for sure though. Not recruit as good, because of his talent developing, but closer than he has been.

As for game day they are both similar. Smart a brilliant defensive mind but makes crazy decisions at times. Mullen is a brilliant offensive mind but also makes bat shite crazy moves at times.

They are both elite at the things theu excel at, but have they have to fix the problems each has to reach the finish line. Kind of that simple.

Both have safe jobs. Both are great coaches. Neither is elite yet. They both have that potential though.
