Agreed. I think the only time they would get upset with Kirby is if he starts losing championship games to people other than CNS. So if CNS retires sometime soon and his successor still beats Kirby or if Pruitt/Mullen start beating Kirby in the East. THEN they would start to lose patience with him.They would be beyond stupid to complain about him 'failing' next year if that only means just winning the East.
I don't like Kirby AT ALL but you can't just ignore him getting them to just 3 downs away from a National Championship in year 2 followed by losing a close 7 point game in the SECCG in year 3.
Heck, I mean if they had not lost to LSU this year they are probably in the CFP again right now instead of ND or OU.
They would = LSU turning on Les Miles for the sin of not being CNS.
But again I don't like UGA and I especially don't like Kirby so hopefully they will turn on each other and melt into irrelevance.
well, i for one don't ignore this. i try to point it out to as many uga people as possible. i also bring the 2012 seccg into the discussion as well.They would be beyond stupid to complain about him 'failing' next year if that only means just winning the East.

This is exactly correct. No one spends much energy talking about whether Orgeron can get LSU back to our level or win a title, because we know the answer is no even though he's been the head coach at LSU as long as Smart at UGA. Smart and Georgia are competing with us almost in-step on the field and in recruiting. No one has done that in Saban's tenure at Alabama, not even Meyer. I hope we never lose to Georgia again, much less as long as Saban is here, but the reality is that they are our biggest threat in the SEC and perhaps nationally.Another thread so we can bash Kirby Smart :rolleye2:. I think the reason that people start threads like this is because they see that Kirby and Georgia is a legitimate threat to Coach Saban and Bama. Kirby has done a great job at Georgia and has returned them to a top tier program. As long as he continues to recruit at a high level, UGA will continue to be in the mix - year end year out. Also remember, Kirby is just 42 years old and just in his 3rd year as a college head coach. He will get better with experience. He is not at Coach Saban's level but Coach Saban wasn't at age 42 either.
Also Coach Saban has had high level recruits transfer and at the QB position (Blake Barnett, Star Jackson, Philip Sims, etc) so the knock on Kirby for Fields transferring is ridiculous. Fields wants to play and he will go somewhere that gives him a better chance to play. It is part of doing business in big time college football when you recruit at a high level.
I wouldn't say everyone is obsessed. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that Kirby has found almost instant success at UGA while at the same time failing in the biggest of games like Richt was known to do.Why is everyone so obsessed with Kirby Smart? He has done a pretty good job so far there.

The interest in talking about it is half poking fun (100% schadenfreude for 92Tide) at their continued heart-break at our hands and half giving Kirby and UGA recognition for becoming our new #1 Primary SEC threat.
Going forward it looks like you can bet on us having to play 2 exact teams EVERY SINGLE YEAR on the path to a possible NC...
UGA..... and of course.... Clemson.
I think the question is asked IRT winning a NC. That's why they brought in Kirby and got rid of Richt. Also, college football is a fickle sport. Right now it looks like UGA will continue to be a top team and playoff contender for the foreseeable future but things can change quickly. If Fields transfers and Fromm gets hurt next year or they just have some bad luck then the fan base would start to get impatient because the fan mentality at this point is NC or bust. I don't think anyone realistically thinks Kirby would be on the hot seat in the next few years but fans will start to grow impatient due to the amount of resources the administration has put into the Kirby regime and how much talent they're bringing in. They expect a NC every year so based on those expectations I think they'll be disappointed in the next few years..This question is ridiculous. Georgia had Alabama on the ropes twice in the past year (who else can say that) and is recruiting right at Alabama's level.
You can probably argue if you want that he is the #3 coach in the nation behind Saban and Dabo.
I think Pruitt and UT will be a problem for them also. That's what I alluded to in an earlier post. UGA had 2 years where they would have won the NC if it wasn't for Alabama. Now, no telling when they'll make the playoffs or the NC game again. Could be next year or could be years down the road..With the hiring of Mullen at Florida, I think Kirby and UGA are in a one to two year window where they have an easy path to the SECCG. Because when Mullen gets his guys and has his system in place. Georgia will have to actually win their conference rather than play scrimmages in the east while game planning for Alabama all year.
I hate it that I'd like for Pruitt and Tennessee to really become a thorn in his side, but then I'm wishing success for Tennessee! A harsh dilemma. But I do hate Kirbs, so at least I'm not going to complain if Pruitt starts stealing recruits and wins from him.With the hiring of Mullen at Florida, I think Kirby and UGA are in a one to two year window where they have an easy path to the SECCG.
