They started in very different places too. And the SEC East hasn’t exactly been a juggernaut during Kirby’s tenure.It took Dabo 7 years to play for a title, in an infinitely weaker conference. It took Kirby 2. If Kirby had the team he’s had for the last 4 years and was in the ACC he’d be in the playoffs every year as well.
Rebuild? Dabo took over a team midway through the season that was preseason #9. Infighting and coach backstabbing, led by none other than Dabo himself, led to the demise of that season and Bowden’s fate. His only competition was Jimbo and FSU and 1/2 of his CFP appearances have come since Jimbo left. I’m not saying he hasn’t taken them to another level but his competition can’t be discounted.Uhmmm, Dabo had to rebuild that program into the powerhouse it is today.
Kirby took over a 10 win team.
