Dude is a genius.

While Dabo circles the drain refusing to adapt to the modern shite show and while the rest of college football chases the shiniest object in the portal etc etc, Kirbs has created his own hybrid monster lurking quietly

We are stacked so deep fellows. Our defense is everything you’d expect from a Kirby defense and our offense is a relentless unstoppable wrecking ball

Feels like early 2021 all over again

I’ve seen enough. We win it all this year.

I like our team. I like our coaching. I like our talent. I think I like our depth, but I'm not sure about the experience level. On offense, I'd feel much better if Helton was 3rd string guard learning the ropes right now. Or even if he was a 2nd team defensive tackle, where a mistake isn't so likely to disrupt the play and maybe blow up the qb. I'd feel more confident about our OL depth if a couple of those upperclassmen could've beat Helton out. Rest of the offense is just fine, but still I'm waiting to see how Gunner operates when a good defense attacks the LOS. Can he stand in the pocket, process quickly and make them pay for being overaggressive? That improves with experience, but some moreso than others.

On defense, I like our secondary and top 3 or 4 linebackers. If healthy, those guys can play championship football by the end of the season. The DL has a lot of potential, but still has to prove themself against a great OL. They need to stay healthy too, goes without saying but very important at that position so we can rotate. Edge rush, I have no idea. Losing Amaris Williams and now Chase Linton is a continuation of a long running crapfest of luck at that position.

I don’t think enough has been written or said on how Kirby is uniquely approaching the current cfb crisis

I used to call him Sick Naban. Because his approach was to be a Nick Saban cover band

But Saban quit when the sport got to this. And now it’s Kirby navigating uncharted waters and creating the maps

I like what I’m seeing. onward

Agree with you 100%. The first team players look ready to do some damage. But, after that?

Kirby – "settlement by a church" "church village" or "cottage by the water."

Paul – "small" or "humble"

…Your hot take makes zero damn sense

How is a rat flaring his nostrils and floating in a pond next to several oranges considered “zen” by YouTube ?

He doesn't get near enough credit on this. Around ~2022 when the portal and NIL was starting to run rampant everyone in CFB said "we gotta pay recruits and portal studs as much as we can afford. 7figures? Who cares!? It's what's needed in this landscape". Kirby said to hell with that, we identify and developer better than anyone else already so we're going to spend our money keeping the guys we already have and giving them another year of development. Then supplement here and there with the portal.

And the results speak for themselves.

I agree. We have to see if our D can shut down explosive offenses; especially offenses w/ dual threat qbs. If you look at most of the games Kirby has lost it has been against dual threat qbs.

Yeah. The backup WKU QB gave our backups fits on Saturday. Linebacker play needs a huge lift for 2027 and 2028.

The good news is that we got solid film to focus, demonstrate, and rep going forward.
