Every HS “kid” being adult size and getting bigger and stronger at the elite schools combined with the additional games (now 3-4 more) has to have an impact on health.
Add depth leaving to get playing time and you lose the winning formula

I love this. Kirby is now getting the Saban treatment where anything he says sparks all kinds of stupid comments, even though it's either true at the time or becomes true over time. Let someone else be the target for all that.

I think more and more STL football fans are seeing the light on this point. They don't have to worry about relocation PTSD.
I saw it when the Big Red left. Too bad MU was booty at the time, but CFB was exciting to follow nonetheless.

Maybe it did go over my head. The game has changed no doubt about it. Kirby is still the best in the game right now but the field is becoming more level than it ever has been. That is just a fact.
Apologies. I actually thought you were trying to troll, and I've lost patience with trolls.
As for the playing field being level now? Not any more than it was before. It might shift change just a bit. Texas A&M, Texas and some of the schools with deep pockets will throw money at players and pull some high rated players. Trouble is, if you do not do a good job of analyzing players for talent, character, drive etc. you still will fall short. Take A&M for example with their #1 class 2-3 years ago. It simply has not worked out for them.
Some players will go for the money. Some for development. Some for other reasons. I am guessing with A&M the chemistry just wasn't there. So...it will still come down to the coaching staffs who correctly identify the players with the most talent, drive and character that fits in with the other players on the team. Money alone will not get it done.
Just my opinion. Only time will tell if I am correct, though.

What advantage did Georgia (Kirby Smart) have that nobody else had? The ability to recruit at a high level?

So is Smart now going to get the Saban treatment, where everything he says addressing the state of college-football is seen as "crying, whining and complaining" until he everything he said is proven true in the following year or so? Just curious.
He’s complaining about injuries or transfers (hard to tell from that snippet) when he has a loaded roster.

You mean their 1st SEC game?

It’s like a snippet of a whole interview. Players wearing down and teams experiencing attrition is what he calls the deterioration of football. OP is mad about the grown man football sign still.
If so Kirby is indulging in way too much rose colored good ole days nostalgia because it’s always been that way. The only thing that has changed is that he’s now in a position where those problems are his to deal with. But calling what has always happened the deterioration of football is wayyy too dramatic.

I get that, but is it so unreasonable for a coach to work hard to get that loaded roster and want to keep it? We are not socialists where all the talent must be spread out to undeserving teams/coaches that do not want to put in the work to get the players.

I would be bitching nonstop internally but Kirby needs to keep that in house because everyone else is playing the world’s smallest violin when any big program complains about injuries or transfers. That goes double for a team and coach playing at the highest level.

The willingness to buy players and bend rules to keep them. Promises of wait your turn and you will get in the league because it’s UGA or Bama or tOSU are done. Guys figured out they can go to a dozen different schools and get paid and get in the league.
The grey shirt blue shirt “walkon” with an NIL opening a slot to recruit an extra player nonsense goes away and we move closer to a super league with real oversight and accountability scare coaches that cheated without consequences.

He's right, and there isn't a single one of us on here that doesn't absolutely hate where cfb is going. At least someone is willing to talk about it

Goodness I hope so. Recruiting is a complete and utter shite show right now.

I’m not so sure about this. While NIL has problems and I have disagreed with how player value is assessed a lot of teams have benefited tremendously from NIL. A TON of us who were locked out or saddled with coaches who were too stupid to cheat well (or at least avoid running it through their wife’s account) have seen nothing but positives from the NIL era. Granted I think my fanbase attributes too much to NIL and not enough to Heupel, Danny White, Randy Boyd and Donde Plowman but pair those changes with a healthy NIL and we’re finally up off the mat and not just sitting in our corner trying to go in while punch drunk.
Expansion still sucks but that’s a different issue.
