No. Your logic is extremely flawed. Acknowledging where UGA is in comparison to our rivals, which is WAY above the Vols in particular, doesnt mean the aspirations dont aim for #1 in the nation.

The fact that UGA doesn’t address it is implied contentment.

UGA pays its on the field staff around 6,000,000 a year now. And that’s after the big raises from last year. They routinely seek the less expensive, less experienced coaches. Guys that can recruit because they can relate to kids but can’t coach at a high level. Facility additions and upgrades are constantly in catch up mode and based on established concepts when the better schools are cutting edge. 247sports ranks UGA 6th in the SEC in football facilities with current projects expected to be done in 2022. The 2 right behind you (Auburn and Florida) have already started the projects to pass you and Texas and OU are already ahead of you.

Your idea of "decent" involves old Mark Richt staffers. No thanks.

Established guys that can coach and recruit not just recruit. Guys with proven track records. CMRs problem was he promoted them above their ability (Bobo and Willie) and refused to adjust or change.

Are you claiming that old arse title was worth it to be suck arse for 25+ years?


You got a reading comprehension waiver for the Ga highschool exit exam didn’t you? I saw the decline from being content to being bad.

You havent been paying attention recently.

6th in the SEC, 8th if you include Texas and OU, with the next two passing you by 2024 according to 247sports. Infact go to any point since facilities have been ranked and UGA has rarely been in the top 15 nationally

When a Tennessee fan (losers to Georgia State and BYU back-to-back AT HOME) posts anything about CFB, all I hear is “blah, blah, blah…….”. The program and it’s fans are both insignificant.

More flawed smokeyone takes.

Kirby doesn’t hire based on failed sec experience, and that’s a good thing. He does value recruiting, as any competent head coach should, but don’t mistake that for hiring guys who can’t coach. Such a lazy and biased take from you.

Others see how your idea of a quality coach staff continues to fail in Knoxville over and over and over, so it’s humorous that reality continues to evade you. Willie and garner were not good hires in 2021, just like they weren’t in 2014. Their times have passed. Those were lazy butch Jones/Pruitt type hires.

You are so behind the times. We have caught up after massive upgrades since Kirby arrived. $175 million well spent. When completed next year, We will have every essential thing needed or wanted to excel. There simply isn’t enough room to go beyond our football facilities to claim they aren’t elite.

Fulmer was cut from the richt cloth. Neither could keep up effort wise in modern football. Unlike them, Kirby isn’t content. He isn’t lazy. That’s not a good thing for the vols, but go on denying reality.
