re: With increased SEC parity in 5 years which coaches will be gone?

Five years is a long time in college football these days. I'd say at least half will be gone in 5 years.

I would not be surprised if Kirby doesn't retire in 5-6 years. I certainly hope not, of course, but the grind is real and it has to be exhausting to continue to deal with off field issues. He will have been paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $120 million in in his career at UGA...I know I would retire and tell eerybody to kiss my arse.....

Kirby can be Mark Richt the rest of the way and probably keep his job.

Richt averaged 9.6 wins a year at UGA. Any coach averaging nearly 10 wins a season over 15 years is probably in pretty good shape even in the CFP era where 10 wins probably means at least 3 losses per year. Smart is unlikely to do anything other than retire or quit at UGA...it is highly unlikely he is ever fired - although Mark Richt was.

Coaching staffs are aging quicker now that their “teams” are simply a collection of 100+ independent contractors. The days of long tenures are likely over.
