The SEC East is a pathetic shite show. It was the lowest rated division in all of power 5 last year (by the same guy whose rankings you just listed).

You do know we also played Auburn, Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma right? We still had a tougher schedule than Alabama.

You were 2-2 against the SEC West and needed a mulligan in one of those games.
The game in which we beat the team that beat you? That mulligan? I guess you were just lucky you lost to Auburn.

Our schedule was ranked #6 and yours was ranked #26. You do the math. We went into the National Championship game with the same record and we had the tougher schedule. You beat us in OT, and deserved the Title. Congrats.

Basically, what I gather out of this discussion is Kirby > Saban.

You seem to be having a hard time understanding this so I will help you:

If you were in the SEC West you wouldn't have even made it to Atlanta. Or the Playoffs.

The SEC East is an awful division and many statisticians had it as the lowest rated division in all of Power 5.

Playing or beating ND in 2018 isn't a big deal. They are a relic of a program and a has been. The last time we played them the game was over at halftime. Big deal.

You didn't schedule Oklahoma just like we didn't schedule Clemson.

Oh, and 1980.

You don't know that! if we were in the West we would have played Alabama earlier in the season and Tua might not have made it into the game! We very well might have beaten you! Saban showed no inclination to put Tua into a regular season game early in the game! It would have been more likely that Alabama would not have won the west or gone to the playoffs!

Say what you want, but they finished ranked #11.

Correct. but they were still a part of the overall schedule.

Lets get back to the point of this thread. Since the NCG Georgia fans have gone overboard and think Kirby Smart can coach and win just like Saban. What Saban does better than any other coach in history is assemble, assess, manage, and develop their physical and psychological growth - and put together a Plan to take them to the top based on the total combination of all their actual abilities. Nick Saban made Kirby Smart everything he is today. Kirby lacks the intellect, charisma, and gravitas to compete with Saban on any level. All you have to do is listen to Kirby speak and hear him articulate his logic. Without Saban's mentoring & leadership, Kirby would be a position coach somewhere or back in private life. Kirby is a good guy but he's not a natural leader or a critical thinker capable of the mindboggling vision & creativity Nick Saban is. Saban is 1000 times the leader Kirby will ever be - and Kirby knows that - and Kirby knows he'll begin to feel the boiling pressure if he doesn't win a NC in the next 3 years. Saban's aura won't save Kirby.

UGA fans - enjoy the success your team is having but thinking UGA is going to emulate Alabamas success because Kirby Smart worked for Nick Saban is dumber than a box of rocks. Kirby probably slept at a few Holiday Inns but that doesn't mean he's going to turn into a great Head Coach. Kirby was in the right place at the right time - and that's all there is to say about Kirby Smart. He didn't get his job at Georgia because he's a proven leader or tactician. He got his job at Georgia because Alabama won a bunch of NCs and Kirby was a UGA Alumni on Alabamas staff.

Jeremy Pruitt got his job at Tennessee because he proved he could win NCs with other teams.

Is this English?

I’m sure Nick never got out coached in his second year of coaching. You must have special skills. How do you determine what someone will be or not be in the future?

Your thread is crap. nobody ever said that Kirby will replace Saban. Reading Is Fundamental. Just read your own thread.

You speak highly of a coach that can't win shite wHan the going gets tuff. Saban does well at schools that already have a long history of winning. Spurier would and could coach circles around him. OBC won the ACC at Duke. Turned Florida ( a team that hadnt won shite or ever won 10 games before) into one of the most coveted jobs in college football. Took USC to heights they never even sniffed before. Saban took a perennial winner into more winning.

Saban also weaseled out of the Miami job just like the pos he is. Saban wouldn't have won at Duke , USC at all. He wouldn't have done what OBC did at Florida either

Kirby did that with Mark Richt's team. Better watch out when he gets multiple #1 classes coached up.

It would make sense better recruits will lead to better results.

Jalen Hurts won all those games because he had a great team around him. Alabama won some of those games in spite of Jalen Hurts, not because of Jalen Hurts. You saw first hand in the 2nd half how much better Alabama is with a good quarterback.
