You’re overstating the case, but that was a boneheaded call on Georgia’s own 33. He took a couple of big risks in the Texas game that paid off and it went to his head. The law of averages finally caught up with him.

There is no way they will move on from Gunner. Yeah he probably has a ceiling as a player but he won them some games and the team clearly views him as a leader. And that's just not Kirby's way.

Or is it Heupel's way?

I think UGA will be better next year. GS was basically a freshman this season. He got to play a couple really big games last year..but still young. I think he goes Jake Fromm the next 2 years.

I don't think it's passed him by.

I will say this

He needs to embrace the idea of buying the best players to fill spots instead of waiting two years to develop.

Kirby is like Saban and is used to stockpiling talent and development.

Can't do that anymore. Top recruits go to highest bidder and not the best coach. Nil allows players who don't want to be developed to go somewhere else and play.

Kirby has time to pivot but saban saw this coming and got out

I hate it when people criticize 4th down plays because if it works then it’s genius, if it doesn’t then it’s moronic.

Final 3 games for Alabama: 58 rushes, 48 yds, 0.8 yds/rush. DeBoer: Let me try a run on 4th down inside our 35-yd line.
Moronic.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

If it worked, I would have still said what I said.

It’s absolutely asinine. If Sark would have done it in the same situation, and then won a game that secured a championship, I would still say that was asinine.

It’s Fourth Down at your own 33 with the game not on the line. Punt the damn ball.

This thread is embarrassing even if you were trolling. But if not trolling...you're just on the autism spectrum or have a touch of Down syndrome.

Bobo blew the game. He tried to sit on that 9-point lead and took his foot off the gas until it was too late. And Kirby let him do that.

Witness what Cignetti did in contrast in the Rose Bowl. Never took his foot off the gas.
