re: If Kirby coached at a 2nd or 3rd tier SEC school ...

I’m saying that’s unrealistic expectations to have on Kirby at those schools, Kirby at Vandy cannot recruit Top 3 classes bc Vandy is just behind on resources, boosters are smaller, stricter admissions, his ceiling is turning them into ND

Would he be a good coach there? Could he have like an undefeated season at a Vandy? Would take a miracle imo, but can he have an undefeated season at Georgia? that’s not only realistic but an expectation, location matters

Okay... so let's take the same example. What does Saban do at Vandy? Top 3 classes and undefeated season or basically also hit the same ceiling at that school.

Kirby isn't Saban, but to argue that Kirby is only as good as the school he's at is kind of silly as well. Most coaches would be handcuffed at a good portion of the schools listed, simply because they are generally inferior athletic programs to the top of the conference at present.
