Program on the mend?

5th year as head coach....all coaching hires made by him....first year with all his recruits...botch d the fields vs fromm debacle.

I like Kirby, I do but I'm gonna be honest yesterday was a deflating loss...at no point did it look like we made changes to stop the florida offense. Also Kirby seems to once again be hitching his wagon to a dead beat qb because he is a 'hard worker's.

The qb situation we are in is sad and determental to us making any kind of natty run.

Also football is changing. Good offenses now rule the day and Kirby is a defense oriented coach. If he isn't careful and put priority on offense like Saban has done, he will be gone sooner rather then later

2026. Smart is done but it will take 3 seasons for the majority of donors to realize it and 2 years of chances to right the ship. I’d like to say he had potential but I think what he has been is way beyond what he is capable of.

First time head coaches - first time anything - are allowed a couple of mistakes.

Yeah he made a bad hiring decision in Coley, but can you name another? And just how many seasons did it take to correct?

I'm sure nobody here thinks I'd go easy on Kirby if I think he deserves worse. However, the track record speaks for itself - and not in the way you think. Kirby started off at least very good (top 5% of his profession) and he's learning and correcting. Maybe that's not all we could ask for, but it's certainly more than acceptable.

At one point, you seemed sensible and knowledgeable. Somewhere in this post you quit being that. Be better and more consistent.
