re: Does Kirby have one more mulligan or does he need to beat Saban next year?

. During Saban's era he never lost a game like Kirby did to LSU (20 pts) and he would never have done a fake on the 4th&11 play

Saban lost to ULM.

Kirby is still in his 3rd year as a head coach. Saban has been a HC for over 20 years. You can’t call that equivalent comparison.

Only the SEC East that Richt had his first 3 years was much tougher than the SEC East Kirby has had his first 3 years.

Richt is Kirby and Kirby is Richt. There is very little to no difference between the two. Year four is imperative for Kirby to separate himself from Richt.

And both Kirby and Richt excelled at a time when Florida was in total chaos....

---

Richt had a losing record vs. Florida. They might have been in 'chaos', as you put it, but Richt still couldn't beat them very often. He even had a losing record vs. Ron Zook, for God's sake! Kirby is 2-1 vs. UF. The last UGA coach to have a winning record vs. UF at this point in his career?

We kept Richt for 15 years, so what do you think?

Since you like to compare coaching records for the first few years as an indicator of future achievements, how about you tell us how Saint Nick's first few years went.

Ok. Lets use Michigan State and Alabama. No reason to use his one year at Toledo (9-2) as it doesn't tell us anything. We are comparing Saban to the coaches he replaced (Just like we are comparing Richt to Kirby) so this is a True apples to apples comparison.

George Perles first 3 years:
4-6-1, 6-6, 7-5
17-17-1

Nick Saban first 3 years:
6-5-1, 6-6, 7-5
19-16-1

Mike Shula first 3 years:
4-9, 6-6, 10-2
20-17

Nick Saban first 3 years:
7-6, 12-2, 14-0
33-8
1 SEC Championship
1 National Championship

As you can see there is a distinct difference here unlike Richt and Kirby who are Twins with different haircuts. Neither could win a National Championship and both choked repeatedly in big games. Kirby absolutely must separate himself from Richt in year 4. That means Championship or bust. You fired Richt for the exact same things that Kirby has been doing (not winning a National Championship and choking in big games)

2019, 2020.

Has to win a national title in one or both of those years in order to keep the current momentum on track.

I'm curious to see what LSU fans think about this conversation. Shouldn't this thread be about ya'll?

Maybe. But I am not as dumb as Georgia fans who repeatedly try to ignore the parralel between the guy they fired (Richt) and the guy the hired to replace him (Kirby)

---

No one is ignoring anything, tard. Mark Richt's first 3 years as a head coach and Kirby Smarts first 3 years as a head coach are incredibly similar. Both are much better than Nick Sabans first 3 years as a head coach (of course both had better players and school to coach at). You continue to ignore the fact that Mark Richt wasn't fired because of what he did his first 3/4/5 years. But instead for what did in years 13/14/15.

quote:

Like I said year 4 is going to be imperative for Kirby to prove he is indeed different than Richt. He can't keep choking games away or losing in championships.

everyone has heard you a million times. Your opinion means shite, your talk is tiresome, you should just shut the frick up and go away. I'm sure that's not the first time someone has told you that, it's probably pretty common.
