Is it time for UGA fans to admit Ed O is a better coach than Kirby?

The one argument left for them was Kirby making it to the NC game.


That is now gone.


So can we definitively say that Edward Orgeron is the second best coach in the SEC?

I believe we can.

Resume: 2-0 vs Kirby
Has beaten Bama
3-0 vs Gus
SEC Championship
CFP semi-final victory
Has beaten Texas (lol)
NY6 bowl victory
Berth in NC game.

Right now, he is. Not sure that is even arguable.

It should be noted that although LSU has a ton of talent, Kirby is working with 2x the amount of 5* athletes that LSU is. Kirby has had top 4 talent for multiple years.

Kirby is the reason for that talent. That is part of coaching as well.

Ed O is 1-3 vs Bama

Kirby is 0-2 vs Bama


Until he wins a national championship there is really no glaring differences.

Well...except for that whole "head-to-head" metric.

Other than beating Kirby's team by an average margin of 24 points.

Kirby speaks English.
Coach O speaks Gumbo Gibberish.

Everybody says Mullen is better than Kirby despite getting his arse kicked by Kirby repeatedly.

As a UGA fan, I am confused which metrics are relevant.

I think as it stands right now it is safe to say that.

Why is this important to you? Do you need for Georgia fans to say it to make you feel better about your coach? It seems odd that you have to have Georgia fans say something like that.

Here. Maybe this will give you validation for your coach.

Orgeron and LSU has had a great year. Orgeron made the necessary changes to get his team over the top. He put his ego aside and hired an excellent OC/Passing game and then let him do his job.

I think Orgeron has more than proven himself. My (or any other Georgia fan) saying it (or not saying it) does not make it any more or less true, so I'm not sure why it was so important for you to hear it, but now I hope you can sleep better at night knowing that I agree with you.

Brady is the best coach on either team . You put him on the Georgia staff and they are better then LSU this year.

It has to REALLY sting for so many coaches to get paid that much money and lose to Coach O

LSU recruiting classes:

2020-5th currently
2019-5th
2018-15th
2017-7th
2016-2nd
2015-5th
2014-2nd

I'm pretty sure you can't point to an overwhelming talent advantage for Georgia.

It's possible. There is a huge gap between Brady and Coley.

2-0 vs kirby and a win over Saban is enough to get the nod.
But better is a relative term. I'm not sure this is something that merits a thread.
