Not a good coach. There is more than enough evidence to make that conclusion at this point.

They lose focus but he's got them winning a lot of games.

He needs to do what O did with the offense and actually bring it into this decade.

He's running a mid aughts multiple offense

In his 4 th season as a head coach he has won the sec, played for a National Title, and played for another sec title.

If you think he is not a good coach, you a stealing Oxygen.

No. Said it since he became HC of UGA. He’ll go off the rails completely eventually

Kirby makes bad gameday decisions. He's too busy coaching the defense and being a cheerleader.

Kirby's gameday decisions have been the cause of most of Georgia's losses.

Kirby gets too emotional about the defense during games leaving him bereft of Offensive wisdom.

Yes and no.

He is good when he can line up and out man you. He recruits amazingly but I think he is a lot like Champ. Stubborn. It cost him.

Good coaches learn from mistakes. His big test right now is the offense and how he handles it for the next few years.

Winners and losers from Week 7 in college football are led by Georgia, Oklahoma

quote:

There's a word for what happened to Georgia on Saturday, and it's this: embarrassing. This was an embarrassing, humiliating loss if only for the simple fact that South Carolina entered the weekend having lost three of four against Bowl Subdivision competition while Georgia had been pegged as one part of the SEC's mighty threesome, joining Alabama and LSU.

Georgia belongs in that group based on pure talent. Yet few coaches in the country seem better equipped to win on signing days in December and February before flopping when the games matter than Kirby Smart. He's become the inheritor of the derisive label once placed on Mack Brown by his detractors: "Coach February," for Brown's ability to reel in top-ranked signing classes during his early seasons at Texas without winning a conference championship.

I agree with the others here that his conservative offensive philosophy has now cost him a game against a vastly inferior team. How he responds will say a lot about him as a coach. He’s still early in his career.

He is a Wannabe. Has no idea how to do it on his own.
