they have had very few seccg appearances in the last few years and during that same time the sec east was hot garbage and uga had a fairly sizable talent gap on most if not all of the sec east teams.Agreed. Just wish some of Georgia’s opponents in the east were better. South Carolina may have the best shot. I can see Georgia dropping a game. However, their schedule is a bit easier than last year. I don’t like Georgia...too many fans who have been vaccinated with a Victrola needle!

Or to put it another way, if Kirby can't at least play for a title or two in this time frame, his seat will get real warm.All true, but the lack of raw talent, more so than at any time in the modern history of college football, will not be an excuse if UGA doesn`t win BIG ( I`m talking beyond SEC championship level ) over the next 2-4 years, IMHO.
And just wait until we add Jaylen Waddle to that trio. It's going to be amazingly fun to watch.I think our Offense is going to look like a Pinball Machine -- that trio of receivers back with more depth at TE We've ever had plus the stable of backs -- I really do think we may be seeing an offense that will allow us to give up 15-20 ppg and not even really feel it much
Don't forget 6'6" Shavers who redshirted last year too!And just wait until we add Jaylen Waddle to that trio. It's going to be amazingly fun to watch.
Plus there was the comment about Jalen being one play away from being a two-time NC QB as a starter. We very likely wouldn't have won the last NC if he had stayed in the game.I personally think the writer of this piece is a little off on a couple of things:
1. He believes there will be a situational qb rotation. Sorry, I don't buy it. Not that JH might not play, or even start some games early next season, but I think as the season goes on (and IMO from the very beginning) Tua will get the majority of the meaningful reps. Because...
2. Struggles on 3rd down. If he understood why we struggled he'd understand why Tua will eventually take over the position. There's one reason we struggled with 3rd downs the last two years. Love the kid and respect him, but it's because of Jalen. In obvious passing downs, he's just not that good, especially against the best defenses. Tua's going to put this to rest and we may see our best offense in years!
With that thinking, he's still 26-2 because you would have to give him the win against USC.I still don't get why these media types keep saying Jalen is 26-2 as a starter. Yes technically he started the National Championship game and the team won. I look at it like baseball. If the team is losing, and the starting pitcher gets yanked and the closer comes in and wins, he gets the win. Tua was our closer.
That could be but I don't raise my eyebrows when teams with talent rich states and a history of top recruiting reel in the big names. It is the Ole Misses and the like that set alarms off.I have a suspicion Kirby may be taking liberties that may come back to haunt him. Lets see what his team does this year. They lost a ton of seniors and talent last year. I think Florida will be back to challenging them sooner rather than later too. Dan Mullen is the real deal.
Reading between the lines of your post: Kirby is a UGA legacy, so I doubt seriously that he would even be considered to be CNS replacement...I got no complaints about what Kirby is doing in Athens, but I would still take Dabo any day of the week over him. What Dabo has done at Clemson is remarkable.
Funny that you mention Carroll. Kiffin has the same approach...Now you have to "coach 'em up" --
I'm hoping he's more like Pete Carroll -- just scooping u 5* kids - w/o determining how they fit into the process.
You can have 5* talent everywhere, but if they aren't coachable, and there is no chemistry -- it's going to be tough to win it all...
