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

He didn’t say tandems, don’t move the goal posts. He said two of the best SEC RBs ever

Pretty sure he meant tandem, and even if he didn't, you don't think they are two of the best all time? Mind you, he didn't say "the best". He said two of the best. They are both top 20 all time, I believe, so that probably qualifies. Why would you disagree with that?

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.

---

I am not ignoring that. We can't compare Kirby's first 3 seasons with Richt's last 3 seasons. It doesn't work that way. When Kirby's time comes we will then compare his last 3 with Richt's last 3. Until then we will have to use the data we have in the first 3 seasons which shows that there isn't one iota of difference between the two.

If you don't like that it isn't my problem. The numbers don't lie.

Just answer the question.

Don't expect that because it would ruin his narrative.

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

How did Richt once Florida hired Meyer???

I think Kirby is safe if he has similar seasons but just can’t beat Saban. However that seat gets hot real fast if Florida gets their stuff together and starts kicking UGa’a arse...

Thankfully uf hasn’t been really good for most of the post spurrier era. Maybe that’s just who they are.

quote:

---

You fired Richt for the exact same things that Kirby has been doing (not winning a National Championship and choking in big games)

---

No. What a terribly stupid point. Richt was awesome from 2002-2007. We fired him because of a massive drop off from 2008-15. You better hope uga doesn’t beat Texas as that will give Kirby a better back to back seasons than even awesome richt had.

We can't compare Kirby's first 3 seasons with Richt's last 3 seasons. It doesn't work that way.

Of course we can. That’s exactly how it works.

Georgia is about to have so much talent that it doesn't matter if Kirby is a good coach or not.

---

Ray Goff had Eric Zeier, Garrison Hearst, Andre Hastings, and a boatload of 4 and 5 stars and the best they did was 10-2.


So it does matter.....


Spurrier was right as much as it pains me to say.....

"Why is it that during recruiting season they sign all the great players, but when it comes time to play the game, we have all the great players? I don't understand that. What happens to them?" -- Spurrier on Georgia.


With that said, I believe Kirby is a good coach. He is young and is going to be a great coach.

Ray Goff exemplifies Georgia. A dumb hick redneck. Recruiting has never been Georgia's problem. Coaching has and they hired Mark Richt's Twin

---

You are the worst poster on here. You seriously add nothing constructive to the conversation on tRant.

Kirby is not Richt's twin. Stupid to say that. Lets's revisit this in year 5 or 6. I guarantee that a difference will be seen.

Most rational folks on here know that UGA is close to finally punching through the glass ceiling. I don't believe all the dynasty hype. I don't think anyone will ever do what Saban has achieved in our lifetime.

However, when Kirby retires he will have a Natty or two when it's said and done. You are a fool that knows absolutely zero about NCAA football if you don't see that.

So continue to get as much mileage out of the 1980 comments as you can because it's inevitably going to happen with UGA.

You don't think Chubb and Michel were two of the greatest? the had the most yards for two teammates in a single year. I would say they were one of the greatest tamdems of all time.

I'm not sure it is even debatable considering production.

---

Agreed...just so long as you stick with the more general "one of the greatest tandems." McFadden and Jones still rule the roost.

So I figured out why you keep this comparison going between Richt and Kirby.

Animals backed into a corner attack...You see what’s coming.

I hope you wake up every morning, look in the mirror and tell yourself there is no difference between Richt and Kirby. You respond “Right!” When you answer yourself.

Eventually your going to ask the question and your response will be, “Right??? “ It’s coming and that’s why your attacking right now. You also know Kirby’s not coming back to Bama when Nick retires and that pisses you off even more.

Keep telling yourself there is no difference between Richt and Kirby.

Dumb Georgia fan still doesn't understand this. He was performing better than the guy he replaced. Kirby isn't. He is at the same level as Richt at this point. You have to compare Apples to Apples you stupid redneck. So, yes there is actually a comparison.

---

Technically Kirby is behind Richt. Georgia has played 2 more games under Kirby than under Richt and Kirby has 2 more losses.
