In the past an SECC would endear a coach to his fan base the rest of his tenure. It wouldn’t disappear within 5 years. Championships meant something, now they are a burden to your chances of playing for a NC ( ask Wisc, AU).
It seems like they still do in Auburn. Gus won one SEC Championship and it has endeared him to the fanbase to the tune of a contract that is more or less 75% guaranteed. Sounds like a winning philosophy.

Don't worry. To hear the UGA fans talk, if Kirby beats Auburn, win another playoff game, and the East again they will be call him the GOAT.

And he still won't be making as much money as Gus.

Auburn destroyed you guys at home in 2017, and the UGA-AU rivalry is one if the closest in the nation. Auburn isnt tech.

No, Gus is endeared because he lead Cam to a National Championship and because other fans hate him because of that. That fact that he got back to the Championship Game so quickly was icing on the cake. I always said what Gus has done at Auburn should make him safe for a while, but this is a new era of patience. I remember when TT took AU to the SECCG in 2000, it was a big deal just being there. Now it is another game that can trip you up in the NC picture.

The head to head records are identical since 2006... Pretty sure no one was trying to imply they are equivalent historically... Just that relative to Tech, Auburn had been a reasonably equivalent challenge for nearly 15 years.
Also, just to clarify, 2017 was a home game for Auburn... The neutral site game was a similarly lopsided game in the other direction.

You lost the game that mattered in your home state with home field advantage. Twice now. ‘Close’ is the most Georgia thing ever just like naming your field after a career 7-4 coach

You are the first person to associate Swag with Richt.
Kirby compares to Richt's best years. That fact is good, not worrying.

Poor iron. It’s so obvious you are pissed the SECCG loss for AU enabled UGA to go to a playoff game that mattered and win it in dramatic fashion.

It is not the only thing that counts, but how many former SEC Coaches were fired after winning SECC? Tuberville, Chizik , Miles, Fulmer, Richt.
Meh....Richt hadn't won the SEC in 10 years when he was canned. It's a bit of a stretch to count him in that group. The others were fired within a few years of winning the SEC...and in the case of Chizik, a few years after winning the Natty.

Richt believed in Jesus and was a good man.
Smart?

Atlanta isn't a homefield advantage. Alabama fans have as much chance to get tickets as Georgia fans do.
Unless you want to say all those "neutral site" games Alabama played in were really home field because the University of Alabama was closer to the field.
Don't you ever get tired of trolling? Or do you really not see the difference? Either way it's not a good look for you.

What?You actually believe this?
Gus is 2-5 vs UGA (with a miracle win) I have no reason to hate the guy and hope he stays at AU for a long,long time.

The teams I would call nationally great/elite, as somewhat mentioned already, are:
Richt:
01 UT and UF
03 LSU (twice)
that's it. None of the bowl participants would qualify
Smart:
17 AU/OU/AL
18 AL
You consider the 2017 Auburn team which finished #10 in the final AP poll elite but not the 2018 LSU team that destroyed ya'll and finished #6? Personally I don't think either were elite but I'm curious as to how you came to this conclusion.

Mark Richt was Andy Reid. A good guy who was a good coach for the duration of a long season, where an even keeled personality is a plus, but lacks that "Win or Die" mentality that coaches who win National Championships require. Without that big game mindset, Richt was never going to take Georgia to the ultimate level.
It seems as if Kirby has something approaching that mentality, but it's not a guarantee that it will lead to NC's or not.

Anything uga-related with LSU fans always somehow points back to last year's game. It's uncanny. But to answer your question:
-AU lost in week 2 on the road @clemson by 1 possession. Clemson ended up being a playoff team
-They trounced some people, then lost by 4 on the road @LSU
-They then went on a tear of beating people not even close really, including #2 UGA then 2 weeks later a concensus #1 bama that had only lost 1 game in the last 2 seasons
That AU team was on fire and was ranked #2 in the country and 1 game from the playoffs. We ended up whooping them, then they gave up on the season and lost their bowl game. But you're absolutely foolish if you think hte team that played UCF in December is the same one that was playing uga/bama in November. That team was elite following the regular season.
-For LSU, they didnt' play anyone that would end up worth a flip until @Florida in october, which they lost.
-They beat UGA at home which all lsu fans will remember for eternity, it seems.
-They got their toughest opponent, alabama, at home and were thoroughly embarrassed by 29 without scoring a single point
-A few weeks later they would play an aTm team that ended with 4 losses and lose again
I'm by no means saying LSU was bad last year. In fact they were a really good team that deserved their top 10 ranking. But last year's LSU team doesn't belong on the same plane with '17 AL/OU or '18 AL. I think '17 AU does, and they proved as such. The only reason that '18 LSU team is so highly thought of is sipmly because of hte UGA game, plain and simple. It was the worst game we played all year until the sugar bowl and probably the best LSU played all year. And I'm not taking anything away from LSU, obviously they won and earned every bit of it. But that one game doesn't elevate them to some higher status.

All Guz has to do is beat Alabama every 3 or 4 years. They will keep him forever.
That is what the sign says ………… Beat Bama
