Richt stayed with FSU through the national championship after accepting the UGA job.


Richt was also still recruiting for UGA after they fired him, so he's a pretty loyal dude.

The better question is do we want Kirby staying through the playoffs? There is no way he will be able to have his full focus on preparing for two playoff games when a job like UGA is waiting on him. UGA is not Houston or Colorado State.

J-Mac was CSU's coach and split duties by recruiting for CSU and coaching our offense to another natty so I'd think Kirby is inclined to do the same. Nothing better as a recruiting tool to have another title on your resume.

I think he stays but college coaches be crazy.

Taking the Houston job is much different than taking the UGA job though.

UGA and Smart will want him working right away. Saban will probably tell him to do so right after the SEC championship. Too much recruiting and things to set up to sit around in another team's office for a month, as much as it kinda sucks as a fan in the middle of a title run.

Well Herman went to Houston...

And Kirby is going to UGA.. There's bigger impact to be made at a bigger program..

It's not really the same.

Herman having a ring helped Houston more than anything, they could afford to wait.

Smart staying doesn't give UGA the same luxury, they need someone to right the ship now and stabilize recruiting.

Pelini stayed on for the NC in 2007 before going to Nebraska.
