How he chose Fromm baffles me. He lost a lot of the players with that move


Again, only really dumb thing Kirby has done in his tenure so far. Unfortunately, there was a lot of collateral damage. Will be glad when he's in the NFL and all this is water under the bridge.

Disclosure: I have a soft spot for UGA...I was a big fan of Gurley and was broken hearted when Richt misused him during the SC Gamecock game. That said- Kirby is in over his head. No one will ever convince me that Fromm was a better QB than Fields. Most of the 4* and 5* that UGA gets turn out to be average players is a reflection of coaching Kirby does not know how to develop his players Kirby has a propensity to throw his players under the bus. I hate this the most about Kirby. As a result, players leave him every year because they don't like playing for him. He is very erratic and out of control on the sidelines. I think this because he's trying to compensate his emotions and passion for his lack of experience and talent in-game management.

Kirby has made one major mistake in 4 years in Athens


He let Fields go.
He let Eason go.
Fake punt vs Alabama in SECCG.
Never planned for Tua in NCG (from his own mouth).
Went limp dick on offense in 2nd half of NCG.
Never planned for Jalen in SECCG (from his own mouth).
Fake fg vs. LSU.

...

I can continue if you like ...

Again Fields was the only glaring mistake in that entire list. Eason blew. Fakes are only good when they work. Hard to allocate time game planning for back up QBs that haven’t played meaningful minutes all season.

Enjoy your last Burrow game

This is surprisingly good insight not typically found on fan forums. It’s why the Rant is the best.

Kirby’s vocabulary alone validates the point. Anybody that has spent five minutes on a football field knows that colorful language is part of it with some coaches. But how can any player respect a potty mouth head coach like Kirby Smart? Clearly the man is compensating because he is a poor leader.

The guy has no class at all. The whole “eat” tirade is embarrassingly cringeworthy. Half the players on that team come from homes where that kind of display would get them a swat on the backside or a mouth full of soap, yet there is a seemingly adult authority figure speaking like an ignorant deckhand. It’s like UGA made a younger Rick Trickett the head coach. Ask some of RT’s former players what they think of him. Same deal with Kirby will eventually be common knowledge. Most players just don’t respond to that profanity laced frothing at the mouth after a few times.

Kirby has won some games, but any idiot on this board could win 6 games a year as head coach at UGA. Kirby wins because he coaches in one of the top 3 Talent rich states in America and because he brought Alabama recruiting practices to Athens. Everybody with common sense knows we all drive 75 in a 65. But Kirby is driving 90 in that same 65 zone and banking on getting the tickets dismissed.

He may be right. It it still doesn’t change the fact that he is a flawed head coach and will never win a national championship. He doesn’t have the character to finish the drill. Too many of his players don’t respect a loser that plays favorites or speaks like a fool.

I’m sorry his potty-mouth offends your delicate sensibilities.

It's not his vocabulary that will keep him from winning it all in all fairness. College football players have thick skin and don't get offended by foul language.

You forgot about the fake punt in the national title game (or was it SECCG?).



The SECCG and that's a legit point. There have been some mistakes by Kirby. Some clock management issues, too. But he is still relatively new at HC, so hopefully he will get better with experience.

He shows glimmers pretty much every year.

Would you want to play for someone who looks like they’re jumping around on a pogo stick?

You are a runner up. Will always be. Florida at least knows how to close.




Pretty sure you have forgotten, Remind us again what Mullen has done? As far as I know he has never even won his division.

Are you under the impression that LSU does not recruit well?

Tell me something. What has Orgeron done that Miles did not do as afr as accomplishments?

I mean, I get it..."Yuck, yuck! Kirby is Richt 2.0!"
yet so far Orgeron has not done as much as Les Miles. maybe he will catch Miles, but if he has equal accomplishments that would just make him Les Miles 2.0, wouldn't it?
