Kirby and Cochran's families are best friends.Agree completely. Kirby won't be able to out bid Alabama for Cochran if we really want to keep him, only because the decision makers at UGA aren't going to immediately have the highest paid S&C coach.

This is failure according to GA = .740 Pct. winning record over 15 years; 9-5 bowl recordIt's Kirby's alma mater, he may never get this chance again. It would be more ideal if he had already had head coaching experience, but i can't see him turning down this job down for that reason, probably his dream job.
I totally agree with these thoughts.Most people close to CNS have said he gets much more enjoyment from building a program than he does from sustaining one. With the probably of losing both coordinators, another assistant, plus a S&C coach in addition to significant losses of key players to graduation and the draft, would this not be one of the biggest challenges CNS would face at the Capstone since 2007? Could it be the very thing that "re-energizes" CNS for the next several years?
Well, lets say Kirby turned the UGA job down and UGA hired some young hot shot coach that stays there the next 15 years.This is failure according to GA = .740 Pct. winning record over 15 years; 9-5 bowl record
GA can dream but how patient will they be. I'm not saying Smart won't be successful, it just seems a more reasonable path is McElwain's.
I think usce might be stupid enough to hire him as hcI'm reading Muchamp is going to UGA with CKS. Anyone confirm?
CB4,
I think the biggest issue is Cochran. Nobody is really crying over Cristobal and Kiffin.
Willing to bet he will pack it up after SEC. Which means CNS will call defense for playoffs.Coach Richt said in his press conference that he would be coaching his guys in their bowl game. No reason that Smart wouldn't do the same for us. The bowl games and playoff games are around the same time right?
Where do you get that impression?Is CKS taking our OC also?
I keep hearing USCe has locked in on him.I'm reading Muchamp is going to UGA with CKS. Anyone confirm?
Losing a large part of his staff does give Coach Saban a built-in excuse for not being able to win the SEC west, SECCG, NPC next year. It could help keep us from winning it even this year.Okay lets try to be somewhat optimistic here. We knew that when the UGA job came open that Kirby was 1a and 1b on the list. We also know that more than likely CLK and Cristobol are going to land position elsewhere as well.

I'm not trying to pump sunshine up anyone's rear here. I'm just saying that we all knew at some point due to our success our key assistants would get opportunities. I don't like it happening with the SECCG and possible CFB playoffs looming. However, I trusted CNS when he arrived here in 2007 to make the best choices for the program and I trust that he will put a plan in place to make the changes as seamless as possible.
To be honest, I don't expect us to make all of that next year. I think we just lose too much and having a new QB starter without much experience will hurt us. But of course things could change.Losing a large part of his staff does give Coach Saban a built-in excuse for not being able to win the SEC west, SECCG, NPC next year.

Seems like everyone or almost everyone on this board has said he's not returning next year. So, where's he going? NFL? Is someone offering him a HC job in college somewhere?Where do you get that impression?

Yep, I agree. I'm afraid next year will be a rebuilding year. We lose so much, and I think we will have a few question marks on both sides of the ball, but I'll worry about that after the playoffs.To be honest, I don't expect us to make all of that next year.
