Yes and no. Agree that Smart didn't exactly look like Knute Rockne. I'm encouraged with what appeared to be a fair amount of incompetence on Kirby's part.
But in his first year, he only lost to Jones in his 4th year, because Jones' senior qb got the last opportunity to win the game, after Smart's freshman qb seemingly wrapped up the W with a great play.
True. But, I suspect that, if CBJ had inherited the same level of talent that Kirby immediately enjoyed at UGA, Tennessee would have beaten the #6 ranked Bulldogs in Jones' first year (2013) instead of losing by just 3 in OT.
