My actual point of contention is threads like this one and what they imply...This implication here is CLEARLY that Kirby is a great coach and Dan isn't, when there's just as much evidence to prove that both or neither are great, overrated, or mixture of both.Time will tell, dude. Time will tell. No one said Kirby is elite because he beat Mullen. It appears that you're bashing Kirby because you're chapped that your guy lost the game Saturday.
I believe the original premise of the thread is that many in the media and elsewhere thought Mullen was the better coach in the East because of his relative success in year one at FL and the fact that the Dawgs lost to a 24-point USCe dog at home. Maybe the programs were on two different trajectories.
The result in JAX last Saturday afternoon dispelled that line of thinking. Mullen, who lost his starting QB early in the season and was amazingly able to plug in a more-than-capable backup, probably had his best chance to beat the Dawgs Saturday considering the talent he has leaving at the end of the season. UGA is a very young team. There are kids on the roster that you have never heard of who would start at any other SECEast school. Just as Bama has been light years ahead of everyone else in the conference because of the embarrassment of riches at virtually every position, UGA has strung together consecutive top tier recruiting classes which will only make the hill tougher to climb for East opponents. in the years to come.
As I've said before, there are a handful of really good teams at the top and UGA is one of them. Will Kirby win a Natty soon? I think so. Before Mullen? Probably.
But I'll say this, if you gave Dan Kirby's last three recruiting classes, and you gave Kirby UF's last three recruiting classes, Dan would win, and I mean huge.
