Literally every coach has had a bad loss. Saban to Louisiana Monroe at home, Orgeron to Troy at home, Spurrier lost to the Citadel at home (lol), Meyer got boat raced by Purdue, Dabo got 70 dropped on him in a bowl game, and Richt lost to a bad GT/SC team at home. So are you calling all of those coaches bad?
Fulmer was falling off at UT, Zook was at UF, GT was bad, and Auburn was worse. Mullen is better than Zook, PJ won more ACC titles than the previous coachdid prior to his arrival, Auburn has been better under Malzahn. So Richt had a better UT, worse UF, worse GT, and worse Auburn. On top of that Smart has beaten more ranked teams and has a better record against top 10 opponents. In particular UGA played more top 10 and ranked opponents overall in 2017 than they did in 2002.
How am I not? I just listed multiple great coaches with equally bad, some worse like Spurrier and the Citadel, and mentioned that Richt also lost at home to a USC with a losing record and GT with a losing record. Using your logic, any coach with a bad loss isn’t a good coach. So apparently Saban, Meyer, Spurrier, Dabo, Richt, and Smart are all bad. I’m sure I can go find a bad loss for Mullen at home during his MSU days as well. Do you now see how small sample sizes and broad generalizations don’t make for a sound argument?
lol the only major difference is UT. If you want to argue that Zook is a better coach than Mullen or Tuberville better than Malzahn, be my guest. You’re also still ignoring that UGA played better ooc teams during Smart’s first 4 years. Find me the two top 10 ranked ooc games Richt had on his schedule. Try harder. Smart had more ranked wins and more top 10 wins than Richt in their first four years. Good idea to quit while you’re behind.
Where did I say Kirby is an elite head coach? I just said he was better than Richt and the fact he made it to the natty, beat more top 10 teams, beat more ranked teams, and won the East 3 consecutive years would qualify as empirical data. You have said Kirby would fail elsewhere with ZERO empirical data to back it up.
I never said he'd fail anywhere to my knowledge, I said he's not elite...I actually don't think he's a bad coach, nor did I think Richt was a bad coach...For what Georgia is and has been, they killed it, much props for that...It's just the haughtiness and unrealistic expectations of Georgia fans that make me roll my eyes...Enjoy what you have with Smart, even if he starts to dip a little like Richt, because third time isn't always the charm, and you certainly don't wanna end up with Ray Goff again because you forgot who you were and tried to once again hire your Saban.
The UGA fans who think or thought he was the next Saban are/were ridiculous. He’s had a successful first 4 years, but the jury is absolutely still out. Malzahn made the natty his first year and never recreated, except for a close return in 2017. My bad for coming aggressive earlier lol. I didn’t see the conversation with the previous poster and started off your last post. Smart needs an elite OC to have a run, while Mullen has the opposite situation and needs an elite recruiter at DC or maybe OC. UGA and UF are basically polar opposite right now in terms of missing parts coaching wise.
