Kirby doesn’t hire based on

Kirby likes guys that can recruit and not challenge him. UGAs AD likes a bargain. That’s how you end up with a staff of recruiters, with ties to Kirby or no experience. Guys that don’t fit that criteria move on at the first chance.

You are so behind the times. We have caught up after massive upgrades since Kirby arrived

247 ranked football facilities a couple months ago. UGA was 7th in the SEC, 9th if you include OU and TX and the 2 right behind UGA started building to pass them last year.

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.

Kirby runs the same D and still controls (read stagnates) the O. He micro manages the assembled players to the point he can’t build a team. Fulmer was a head coach that assembled a staff that could coach, and recruited based on the program. He won because of the program he was able to establish. Kirby will not win a title without backing into it (read accident/ extreme luck) because he can’t build a program. He recruits individuals that play as individuals, that make decisions based on the individual and rarely the team. A program that recruits at the level UGA does doesn’t go into a season with no QB depth, still figuring out an Oline starting 5, no WR depth, and no secondary depth every year. It’s mind blowing. Change a couple of the positions but it’s the same story year in and year out. And more often than not you see that with the staff. How many Coordinators has Kirby run through so far?
