re: How many of UGA’s 7 losses in the last 8 games are due to Kirby’s gameday coaching?

He’s 24-10 vs top 10 teams. 5 of those losses were to Saban. And you’re basing your entire opinion against how he did against the GOAT. That’s a very narrow point of evidence

This isn’t the flex you think it is.
Last year’s Indiana and SMU were top 10 teams. This year’s Ole Miss and A&M teams are top 10 teams. All inferior with less talent and favorable schedules.
Just looking at the last 2-3 years, your “top 10” record includes wins over 2024 UT that ended 10-3 with a blowout loss to OSU and had materially less talent than you guys. It also includes wins in 2023 over Ole Miss and an FSU team missing all their players in the bowl game. Kirby owns Sark/Tx, that’s the only legit evidence of him being better than than a coach with a comparable roster. I’m sorry this makes you mad.

Great, your wrong though.
So, we’re going with “it’s luck” despite him being 1-5 against a self proclaimed average gameday coach, 0-2 against DeBoer, multiple questionable coaching decisions, your own UGA talking heads saying he got out coached in multiple post game materials, etc. Makes sense.

Good enough to win 2 nattys since Alabama’s last one.

no one said luck. UGA turning the ball over on their own side of the field for six straight games and losing the turnover battle is the biggest reason we’re losing games, not game day coaching, look at your game against Oklahoma this year. Posted on 12/6/25 at 11:52 am to BamaBravesPackers

It would be impossible to have the record he has without being at least pretty good on gameday, even with a talent advantage. Teams with better talent lose all the time.

Jimbo wasn’t a good coach. No one is arguing that Kirby isn’t a good coach, he is. The way he recruits, runs his program (arrests not withstanding), etc. are all elite.
The question is if his gameday coaching is why he is 1-7 against the main team he’s faced with comparable talent. The evidence seems to overwhelmingly suggest it is, but that appears to be hard for UGA fans to swallow.

You can check my post history…it was due to gameday coaching and I called it out.
DeBoer made multiple mistakes that cost us the game, with the biggest one being putting a scared WR, who has been dropping balls over the middle due to being afraid of contact and has had fumble issues before, in on punt return for the first time all season. Boz and I literally called the fumble before it happened.

They probably will, but it won’t be because of this thread. Bama is down a ton of DL, 2 of our top 3 RBs, starting center (like UGA), and QB has been having back issues and got hit in the head at least 3 times in the IB. We’re the walking wounded right now, even more so than UGA.

Alabama isn’t the only team with comparable talent. Texas the last couple years, OSU, Michigan in 2021, Oklahoma in 2017, Auburn in 2017, etc.
He has a complex about Alabama at this point, but some of the bad record was racked up before UGA had as good of roster talent. UGA was the less talented team in 2017, 2018, and 2020, for example.

He is a great game day coach against everyone except Bama who he has been out schemed on a few occasions.

Kirby coaching didnt matter 1 bit vs ed orgeron.
Why would it matter today?

According to 247 composite
2017: Bama 1 UGA 4
2018: Bama 2 UGA 3
2020: UGA 1 Bama 2
They were pretty close for all 3 of those you mentioned and UGA was actually higher in 2020.

The gap between 1 and 4 was pretty big in 2017. That was after years of Saban lapping Richt in recruiting.
The QB and WR difference alone in 2018 and 2020 were jarring. Fromm played out of his mind in 2018 but was still not the player Tua was.

You gonna give him credit for all his coaching wins too or was that just recruiting? You also gonna give him credit for recruiting an elite roster or were you just looking to bash Kirby??
I mean he just neutered Texas a few weeks ago by making a bold coaching decision. And halftime adjustments mean a lot to a fanbase that gave up multiple 2nd half comebacks to Saban in the biggest possible games.

Now you sound like the people arguing Bama’s composite last year vs. Milroe at QB. And yet, we still beat UGA in a transition year with a horrid QB that lost to Vandy and a 6-6 OU team.
Why? Coaching

In general the head coach makes the call to "go for it" or "run a fake". The actual play comes from the playcaller/coordinator (and Kirby is not the offensive or defensive play caller for UGA)
Most of the time I'm not upset with Kirby's call to go for it on 4th for example. I'm more upset with the play that gets called in those scenarios.
It all comes back to him because it's his staff... but the actual playcall likely isn't his in these scenarios.

I’m not defending Kirby’s performance against Alabama since 2023, but there are more games than just Alabama.
