Not saying Kirby would or wouldn't be a good NFL coach...maybe if they continue their 2023 tank and get QB1 in the draft would help. Not so sure Kirby would be as successful at UF or LSU or UT. He'd be good, but he hit on perfect timing w/ UGA...kinda like Fulmer but at a much higher level. Took over a program with plenty talent, but took it higher b/c of competency, in a recruiting hotbed where he doesn't have to really leave the state and I think the fit of being an alum.Kirby doesn’t strike me as an NFL guy but I wouldn’t blame him for trying it. NFL head coaches are notorious workaholics but they only have to concentrate on football and do get to enjoy somewhat of an off season. They’re just under more pressure to win immediately. In college it’s a 24/7 365 grind with no let up. He has the perfect situation at UGA but that contract and work schedule would tempt anybody.
Lets see, as it pertains to Kirby....didn't Spurrier try this with the "Skins"? Didn't Barry Switzer try this with the Cowboys? (yes, I know he won a SB with Jimmy's team but then fell dramatically). Saban left LSU to coach the Dolphins? Not exactly a prudent path IMO.Kirby goes to the Patriot and Mayo replaces Banks would be the perfect scenario.
