Mostly pissed off at Kirby Not-So-Smart. No real excuses. Just a lot of sad faces and sighing.

GO JACKETS!!

Most of the ones I run into are still in the camp of "That was a dumb-ass call by Kirby, but it's ok, he has us going in the right direction. Look at his accomplishments already in year 3."

This is where I bring out these handy-dandy little stats:

1st 3 years Kirby vs. Richt

W-L Records
Kirby - 8-5, 13-2, 11-2 (32-9 total) *one more win or loss coming
Richt - 8-4, 13-1, 11-3 (32-8 total)

SEC Championships
Kirby - 1
Richt - 1

5 yr W-L Before each arrived
pre-Kirby - 50-17 (10-3.4 average, 74.6 win%)
pre-Richt - 40-19 (8-3.8 average, 67.8 win%)

So which one improved upon the predecessor?

Richt started off with a 32-8 recored, 80.0 win%, 12.2% improvement over the previous 5 yr average.
At best Kirby can have a 33-9 record, 78.6 win%, 4.0% improvement over last 5 years, but still lower win% than Richt's first 3 seasons.

So, Kirby is slightly behind where Richt was at this point. Then comes the "but we made it to the playoffs and the Championship game in his 2nd season." Richt was 13-1 his second season with an SEC championship. He would've been in the playoffs. He also would've been there in '02, and possibly '12. All of Richt's success also came when Florida and Tennessee had solid programs, and Spurrier at USCe had the Dwags number. Now they are in the weakest SEC East there has ever been, and he is still Richt 2.0.

Bra ööööin ohhhhhhhh my man! A++++++ post. Would read again!
 
Yeah, people forget that Richt was there for about 15 years and they did well more often than not. Richt would have made the playoffs, too.

Now Kirby does seem to have stepped up their recruiting even thought Richt was never a bad recruiter. However, they are still Georgia which is Indian for "choke".

I heard a few say they will be back. I replied that I heard that from the Falcons as well.
 
They have accepted Saban as their father.
 
Hard to believe that, despite all their recruiting advantages, Tech won a national championship in football 10 years more recently than they did.

Just goes to show that our upside is, has been and forever will be higher than theirs.

That is what pains me about so many posts on this board. We are always capable of more than the dwags. We have FOUR National titles to their one.

Nice work. That gives me some hope.
 
I just keep telling them they should go ahead and fire Kerbs. I promise them that the next coach they hire will be the one that definitively will win a championship within the first 3 years.
