Kirby Smart is Bobby Bowden. Loaded with talent but under performs. He will likely get a title one day but will fail more times than he should.

That’s the first time and will probably be the last time that Kirby Smart will be compared to Bobby Bowden.

Why? Bowden under achieved routinely. So does Kirby. Bama is his Miami. Equal or better talent and fails repeatedly.

Bowden won multiple national championships and is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in history. I just find a bit odd that of all the coaches you can have chose you went with him. Bob Stoops, Steve Spurrier, Phil Fulmer, Mack Brown, and Lloyd Carr also had rosters loaded with NFL talent, yet managed to “only” win one national title each.

Few coaches loaded up with rosters with the talent level FSU had in the 90s year after year. This is where UGA sits. They quite possibly have the most talent in the country and yet still finds a way to lose to Bama repeatedly. He reminds me of Bowden. Recruit like crazy, then roll it out on the field and hope things work out.

Bowden won 2 national titles and had a really nice record against his biggest in-state rival (Spurrier). Kirby is clearly behind Bowden in that regard until he wins at least 2 titles.

You can argue that Bowden "should" have won more than 2 titles because he finished in the top 5 every single year from 1987 to 2000. You can also say that about every coach that has ever coached the game, except maybe Saban.

Bowden was 18 years in before he won his first. So I guess if Smart hasnt got one by then, hit me back up.

And no, you cant say every other coach should have won more titles that what they actually won. Not even close.

Bowden also had to build FSU from nothing.

Sure you can. Tom Osborne, Paterno, Bowden, Schembechler (he actually never won one), Lou Holtz, Spurrier, Bob Stoops, Mack Brown, the list goes on. You can all argue that each of those "should" have won more titles than they did. If you wanted to get real picky you could even say that Bear Bryant should have won more, particularly in the mid 70s. He had a string of seasons from 1971-78 where just a little blemish kept them out of the title picture, although they still claim the title in 1973 even though they lost to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
