Don't understand what the word "IF" means, huh?

Sorry about that.

For someone that is so superior to Nick Saban, he damn sure struggles to beat him

Kirby Smart's excellence as a coach (both for Bama and UGA) is primarily about recruiting. He was very good at coaching the defensive side of the ball, but guys like Jeremy Pruitt can do that too. What Kirby does is perform both elite evaluation of recruits (resulting in fewer "misses" in recruiting) and do a great job of bringing in highly rated recruits.

While he's ALSO a fine coach in terms of hiring assistants and scheming defenses, that only gets you so far (it got UGA to the NC game in 2017). For the recruiting excellence to take effect, it takes a full 4-year cycle to bring the current school's talent base to where it needs to be.

Saban is still able to bring in highly rated recruits. But Bama fans have to see that the evaluation of recruits isn't what it once was... when Kirby was there. Bama is missing more and more often. Meanwhile UGA is hitting on a much higher percentage of their recruits.

That's Kirby's impact. Saban is still better at making game day decisions on the field. He is a great coach. But Bama is missing Kirby's recruiting acumen, and it's showing with results after Kirby's recruits have left. Bama was head and shoulders above everyone else for nearly a decade with Kirby's recruiting. Now they're in the top group with UGA and a few others or behind UGA in a group with a few others depending on how you see the current landscape of college football.

I don’t post hardly ever but do agree some of us are over the top. But if you had to listen to the 1980 shite for that damn long you would be fired up too. We will lose sooner than later likely but UGA football will be relevant for a while. Until then take it like everyone has and get over yourself.

Because the dynasty just started rather than starting 18 years ago? I don't think anyone at UGA was promoting Mark Richt as running a dynastic program.


The contrast is apparent to those who have followed the program closely.

I used to see Mark Richt shopping at Kroger in his red F 150 pickup.

In comparison, Kirby stopped in front of my house a few years back and asked me for directions. He was driving his black Ferrari convertible.

I see your a very passionate fan and as a passionate Alabama fan, I can respect that. Your reasoning isn't far off base and yall are indeed on a very historic run. But I will say for you to say our evaluations have fallen off is a bit off base. Coaching fell off with the Golding catastrophe. You can see the much improved defense this year with only 1 off season of competent coaching. The players have been there, the coaching hasn't. Nearly every recruit we've signed has been a georgia/alabama battle. So Kirby thought the same players we have were good enough for his team

Our dynasty started in 1958 when Bryant became the coach. Its been alive for 65 years.
UGA is just the flavor of the month.

Umm what? You want people to shut down and up? I hope you’re a sidewalk fan and this is not indicative of uga education. Your little rant sounds like a moron stuttering and stumbling all over themselves trying to come up with a witty comment.
