65. Kirby Smart, Georgia
If Kirby's #65, Tim Rebowe over at Nicholls State should be about #35. Although, some of our fans are convinced that Mark Richt let UGA talent drop to FCS division levels, so maybe Rebowe and Kirby are about even.

It's not like Kirby Smart is the reason y'all won that game. Auburn lost, but Georgia didn't beat us.
It took breaking our QBs arm and him having no replacement on top of entering the game with no healthy RBs to barely eek out a win.
UGA fans better get every little bit of shite talking out while they can, because that doesn't bode well for your future in the series under Smart.

68. Neal Brown, Troy
Brown’s stock is on the rise after an impressive 2016 season. After replacing long-time coach Larry Blakeney, Brown went 4-8 in his first season at the helm in 2015. But the Trojans showed marked improvement last fall by finishing 10-3 and beating Ohio in the Dollar General Bowl. The 10-win campaign was the first double-digit victory total by the program at the FBS level. Additionally, the bowl win was Troy’s first since 2010. At 37-years-old, Brown is one of college football’s youngest coaches and has been on a fast rise through the coaching ranks after spending time as an assistant at Troy, Texas Tech and Kentucky prior to 2015. The Trojans should be co-favorites with Appalachian State for the league crown in 2017.

If Kirby was at State he wouldn't win a single game. States resources are barely above Vandy.
Winning 61 games there is harder than turning water to wine. Mullen should have a free pass as far as I'm concerned.

Troy's QB Brandon Silvers is from down here and he comes from very good family. I have known them and him since he was a little pee wee. I'm really glad to see him doing as well as he has and hope he has another great year. He is at the Manning QB camp. He will get drafted if he does, probably not until round 4-6. at least that's what his dad told me the scouts are telling them.

Lane isn't getting much love for what he did at USC. If he had gotten one of the power 5 jobs, how much higher would he be ranked?

No they don't. I know this is your shtick, but hyperbole doesn't help you.

It's not a schtick, or hyperbole. Whenever anyone points out what an absolutely abysmal job Kirby and his staff did last year, plenty of UGA fans jump in with both feet to blame Kirby's bad coaching on Mark Richt. It's embarrassing that our fan base can't even admit that our wonder child got outcoached vs Nicholls State, ULL, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, TCU, Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee, among others. We may not have lost all of those games, but we shouldn't have lost any of them, and the ones we won shouldn't have been close. Kirby Smart, not talent, was the issue and the majority of Georgia fans will finally admit that after two or three more ugly seasons.

There was more than one issue last year. There always is.
Kirby Smart struggled in year 1. Our freshman QB struggled. We struggled to generate a pass rush. Our OL struggled horribly. Special teams was shaky. We didn't get competent kicking until midseason. We weren't as big as we would like. This is not me saying that the talent level dropped to FCS level. It is me saying that it dropped from where it was 5 years ago, which is why Richt isn't here anymore.
Smart is ultimately responsible for all of that, but not acknowledging that Richt at least contributed to a lot of those problems is dishonest.

So you took a roundabout way to get back to blaming Richt. All I have to say is that Derek Dooley could've done a better job against Nicholls State and some others. Kirby got hit in the mouth by the other coaches' game plans, and he had no idea how to respond. He's not ready for this job, IMO, and there was never a reason to expect otherwise.

You just said UGA posters claim Richt let your talent level go down to FCS levels. You honestly don't think that is hyperbole?

He recruited 75+% of the team. How is he not at least somewhat responsible?

He struggled. There's also no reason he can't improve.
Writing him off after 1 year as a head coach is fricking dumb.

Nope. Whenever it's pointed out how we performed against Nicholls State, on any UGA board, the Richt haters immediately jump in. If folks can't admit that Kirby was simply outcoached, then they must be saying that we have essentially the same talent level as Nicholls State, because there was nothing fluky about that outcome.

If that wasn't an outlier, how did we win any games last year?

How bad is the reputation for Mississippi State's program for their coach to get such a curve in his grading?

I'm a huge fan of Clark. Stayed loyal to his team during the whole cancel football debacle. I would have loved to have him succeed Blakeney at Troy. That being said, Brown is doing a great job 2 years in. Last year was the first time I had been excited since around 2010.
