re: Georgia Fans

So just so I’m clear… a coach who has the most playoff appearances for every active coach, and is tied with the most National championships in the entire country .. is not a fair comparison? They’ve had a few down years, but they’re a legit program, with a brand as big as Georgias.

And you can’t say oh they have Trevor Lawrence. Well, Kirby’s has great recruits to win his two titles too.

Also… a team that beat you, (ole Miss) got beat by a 3rd place ACC team (Miami) , who played for and possibly could have won the NC.

Their conference is that weak.

Well, I'm late chiming in on this but I'll say that it isn't as outlandish at it may seem. There are a bunch of UGA fans that are not happy with the way KS is acclimating to the NIL thing, and this year's lag in recruiting is starting to show that this might be a legit concern. There are some who feel he is losing his passion and fire. Not sure I agree with this, but that's a real thing. And yeah, many are complaining that we haven't had a great showing in the playoffs the last few seasons.

The chaser to this is, his worst season in the last 5 years is 11-3. He's won 2 SEC championships in a row, destroyed our nemisis Bama last season and he has owned our greatest rivals (UF, Auburn, Tenny and GT).

Still...whether any of my fellow Dawg fans will heed my warning or not, I'll throw it out there. If we don't have a FANTASTIC season this year with all of the talent we have coming back and a much easier schedule than the last 2 seasons, there WILL be grumblings the likes we haven't heard since the Mark Richt days.

There will always be a vocal portion of a spoilt fanbase. Whether or not it has any impact on large donors and administrators is doubtful. Kirby Smart is the best coach in college football, and they know it.

Chat GPT:

Compare Kirby VS Dabo when it comes to coaching success.

Both are among the greatest coaches of the modern college football era, but they built their success in different ways.

### By the numbers

* **Winning percentage**

* Kirby Smart: **.847**
* Dabo Swinney: **.779**
* **Edge: Kirby**

* **Longevity**

* Dabo has coached nearly twice as many seasons and has almost **190 career wins**.
* **Edge: Dabo**

* **Conference difficulty**

* Kirby has achieved his record while competing in the SEC, widely regarded as the toughest conference in college football during his tenure.
* **Edge: Kirby**

* **Building a program**

* Dabo transformed Clemson from an extremely good ACC program into a national powerhouse, winning two national titles and making six consecutive CFP appearances from 2015–2020. Kirby had a foundation of success when he obtained the head coaching position.
* **Edge: Dabo**

* **Recruiting**

* Kirby has consistently signed the nation's No. 1 or No. 2 recruiting classes and has largely locked down the state of Georgia while recruiting nationally. Clemson does however recruit very well within the state of Georgia and in fact has a tight grip on the Atlanta area. Notable recruits from Georgia that elected to go to Clemson are;

Deshaun Watson (Gainesville, GA)
Nate Wiggins (Atlanta area)
Andrew Booth Jr. (DeCatur/Archer area)
Dacari Collins (Westlake High)
Trevor Lawrence (Cartersville High)

Clemson vs Georgia is very different as Georgia is in a deeply rich recruiting state, vs South Carolina which doesn’t have the overall high school talent Georgia does.

Kirby has done a lot with a lot, in comparison Dabo has done a lot with very little.

* **Edge: Tie : Dabo / Kirby** ([Mike Farrell Sports][5])

### Overall

If you're evaluating **career accomplishment**, it's very close:

* **Dabo Swinney** has the advantage in longevity, total wins, ACC championships, and building Clemson into an elite program from a much lower starting point.
* **Kirby Smart** has the advantage in winning percentage, recruiting, performance against elite competition, and sustaining dominance in the SEC but started from a much higher platform in a deep rich talent pool.

Since you’ve asked questions regarding fishing, a similar comparison would be Kirby fishing from the bank using live bait, or a cast net and Dabo is fishing from the bridge using hotdogs.

If both coaches retired today, many analysts may rank **Kirby Smart slightly ahead** because of his winning percentage and success in the SEC, and tied to Nick Saban. However, Dabo's transformation of Clemson from a regional power into a two-time national champion remains one of the greatest coaching jobs of the modern era. If the roles were reversed Dabo would more than likely have the same success Kirby has had, but the general consensus may not be the same for Kirby.

Again, since he arrived in 2016, every single player that Kirby has recruited out of high school has won either an SEC championship ring or a Natty ring or both.

In addition, Kirby is a Georgia grad who played for Georgia. His wife is a Georgia grad. It is much easier to recruit players when you can tell them that you played on the same field that they will play on.

What other coach out there is currently a step up from Kirby?

The answer to that question is obvious.
