I am pretty shock Searles is not gone. After looking at the stats this years OL wasn’t just bad but embarrassingly inept. Anyone have any idea why Kirby still has this guy? Is he turning into Richt? Could it be as simple as changing scheme? What’s the deal here. It was the big issue u far for this team. Someone who is better at the X & Os or inside please explain.

So, Kirby is a terrible head coach and should be fired. Got it.

Is that your feelings or your interpretation of "throwing in the towel"?

Because you can be the best and still throw in the towel. Saban did it

Critical thinking here is best for you, if possible

I don't have the Phd in Footballology that some do but I don't think he's been all that bad. This season wasn't great, but check out the bio below and explain how someone with this recent resume of success should be fired....


Searels has produced four NFL Draft picks in the last two seasons, including a pair in the First Round, since coming back to Athens. Most recently, Amarius Mims was selected 18th overall in the 2024 draft while captain and three-year starting center Sedrick Van Pran went in the fifth round as the 141st pick. A year before, Broderick Jones went 14th overall and Warren McClendon was taken in the fifth round (174th pick).

Searels has helped the Bulldogs have their most productive stretch in the school history. Georgia has compiled a 28-1 record during his two seasons back, including a 15-0 campaign to win the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship. Most recently, Searels’ line helped enable the offense to finish fifth nationally in both Scoring Offense (40.1 points/game) and Total Offense (496.5 yards/game) and lead the country in 3rd Down Conversions (55.2 percent) in 2023. Georgia went 13-1 in 2023 following its 63-3 rout of No. 5 Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl, marking the program’s third straight year with at last 13 victories.

Searels was also part of a coaching staff that guided the 15-0 Bulldogs to the 2022 CFP National Championship with a 65-7 victory over No. 3 TCU in the title game following a win over No. 4 Ohio State in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl semifinal 42-41. The Georgia offense ranked among the top five nationally in both Scoring Offense (41.1 ppg) and Total Offense (501.1 ypg) in 2022. The ‘Dogs also finished first nationally in Red Zone Offense (97.6 percent), First Downs (375) and Fourth Down Percentage (86.7 percent) that season. Senior quarterback Stetson Bennett became the first player to be named the offensive Most Valuable Player in four CFP games including twice in a CFP National Championship Game.

During the last two seasons, Georgia has led the SEC in Sacks Allowed, ranking fourth nationally in 2022 (0.60 sacks per game) and seventh in 2023 (0.93).


And that doesn't mention he's been a pretty good recruiter of OL talent. That's just my humble opinion.

Agreed with this.

Can't fire a guy with his resume after one sub-par year.

Just saying and more of a general observation ... bios and resumes don't highlight failures.

He inherited an OL roster full of experienced future NFL players who are now gone. We are going to have three interior OL drafted in the first few rounds of this coming draft and somehow managed to not finish in the top 100 in rushing. We’re not talking about a slight dip in production here.

Yep. We rushed for 1,000 less yards in 2024 than 2023. A huge wtf.
