Has to be a reason UGA is struggling mightily on the recruiting trail right now, after a massive haul last year. Maybe recruits are waiting for on field results. Something doesn't add up.

Maybe Kirby just isn't that good of a coach and was overhyped during the offseason?

I think it's simple. Unlike Butch, Kirby took over a 10 win program that had never had a downturn in recruiting. He also came in and solidified a solid first class that Richt left behind.

He then used the hype to get a top 5 class but prospects from 2018 watched a product that declined significantly in his first year. He is now in a position where prospects want to believe what is really happening vs blindly joining.

Is he Muschamp (I think he is) or is he a young Saban? This is a pressure packed year for him already in year 2.

I haven't seen anything to indicate that Kirbs is in the same league with Saban. I can't stand him but Saban is the top of the CFB coaching world. Kirbs is closer to the bottom half. He showed that with his on the field results with a talent packed team last year. I hope he falls completely on his face this year.

White will probably end up at UGA, there is a long-time UGA booster influence in that area. Cannot remember the family, but it goes all the way back to the days of Tim Worley.

Teague most recently followed Martinez on twitter .... hopefully Martinez stays on him to get him to join the squad

Can you tell us why it has seemed he just hasn't really held Tennessee in the highest regard?


The main issue is the preconceived notion that Butch will be gone after the coming season.

Teague is buying the negative spin from rival coaching staffs. Sigh.

To be fair, there's been chatter from a lot more than VN and rival coaches that Butch won't be around much longer.

Also, to be fair to the kid, he can google top 5 hot seat coaches and will see CBJ name on most. Not hard to sell if you are an opposing coach. Reality? Probably not, he would have to go 6-6 or 7-5 but media knows Tn fans doesn't accept just being mediocre.

Here's a bold prediction. Kirby Smart will be on a hotter seat than Butch Jones coming out of the season.

If coaching chatter it's affecting his decision he should just wait for the season to play out and then make his final decision.

I think both need to win this year. Same for Butch last year, no reason for Smart not to win the East. If he doesn't, don't see him lasting past 4 years. He knows this is a big year especially with the 2019 recruiting class in Ga. Insane talent in that class.

Number one, who would like this post? Number two, the dude has built the program back up and finally has momentum and a revamped staff, why would he leave?

Nobody's implying that he's leaving. But his name has been around the top of every coaching hot seat list made since December.

Sure, those paying close attention to the program can see Things aren't as bad as many are making them out to be, but you'd have to mindfully NOT paying attention to have not heard rumblings that Butch may be on the way out if things don't go well this year.


If UGA or UF had a HC in Butch's position and an in state kid of theirs was hesistant to sign with them because he was worried he'd have a new HC in a year or even sooner, we'd all probably be praising this kid for keeping his ear to the ground.

You've gotta remember, it's HIS future he's thinking about. If he's concerned Butch won't be here to coach him, he's well within his rights to take that into account.

That is true but he could find the same situation in the other schools he is considering Georgia and Auburn so the reasoning is flawed.

Very, very much less so for Smart. He'll have less time than Butch was given to win, for sure. But he'll be around in 2018 unless UGA has to fire him for cause.


Malzahn...yeah head scratcher there.
