Think the dawgs are re-thinking things?

Kirby may not be a top tier coach, but he's loading his team with talent and has been competent for the most part (exception: fake punt instead of timeout into a normal defensive alignment). So far, his success is similar to Mark Richt when he started at Georgia... and that is a high mark. If Pruitt came in and had the success that Fulmer had when he started, the correct thing to say wouldn't be "oh look, another Fulmer - we had to fire him" - it would be "he duplicated the success of a previously very successful coach and now maybe he can keep it going instead of letting it taper off".

Also, their primary competition right now is a historically good Alabama team. It's no knock that you keep losing close games to one of the best teams of all time.

Would be shocked if they got on the knees and BEGGED him to come back....probably not gonna happen but Kirby is only in Year 2 going into his 3rd year...does anyone see him at GA even remotely close to 10 years?

Kirby is going into his fourth year. An earlier post in this thread lists his record for each year thus far.

UGA is loaded with young talent and there’s more coming in. They win it all in 2019 or 2020.

Doubt it, they have young unproven talent coming in. Time will tell, everyone wants to dog Pruitt for his 1st year blunders all the while Kirby is still making them! I will agree with you on the coaching aspect but Georgia has always had the talent but constantly chocked away opportunities much like they've done the last 2 seasons

It all boils down to Texas wanted to play football and Georgia wanted to party...
I firmly believe with equal talent, Pruitt beats Kirby Smart. I guess we'll know in a few more years.

GO VOLS!!!!

Coaching is what kept them out of the playoffs this year. See Fake Punt failure in Atlanta.

Wait....what??? Uga lost to 3 top teams this year and I didn't see their players quit in any of those games. Meanwhile, I saw the Vols totally quit on CJP in the Vandy game. Yet somehow we are saying what a loser Smart is????? Not a good look at all - this is why our fan base is a laughingstock (when others even think about us, since we have been totally irrelevant for years despite having one of the nation's largest athletic budgets).

Georgia fan by noon today:

We’re the best 3-loss, non-conference champion, non-playoff-making, non-bowl-winning team, of all time.

Other than leaving out the refs cheated, and they would've played motivated in the playoffs, that's what my facebook newsfeed has looked like since last night. 🤣🤣

Maybe, but they sure under achieved last night. Still seems like the same old Georgia to me.

After playing in a natty last year and just missing the playoffs this year they probably weren’t very motivated.

It really is pathetic. We would kill for that success, but we’re too ignorant to know what real success looks like anymore.

Georgia's season end didn't pan out too well, but if you think they won't be tough to beat for a few years, you are wrong. Smart may not be the best head coaching material, but recruiting makes up for a lot of those deficiencies. Only good I see is that CJP has an opportunity to exploit this in his recruiting pitch. It'll take a few cycles to pay dividends.

Largely outside the playoffs these bowls mean little to the players a lot of the times. Maybe they beat Texas with Tucker but hell IDK that Georgia really cared.

They have no heart. It's the Sugar Bowl against a blue blood program, and they played like they didn't care. This is what the cfp is doing to the game

The funny thing is they sure talked like they cared after ND got beat.

Possibly. It's one thing to talk and another to back it up. Texas has been down for a bit and I believe they felt like they had something to prove. The season was a disappointment for Georgia on the other hand. I just put very little stock in bowl games other than the playoff ones BC honestly the results really don't matter in the grand scheme

Georgia has made the playoffs once and managed to go the entire BCS era without even making a championship game.

Yet now all of a sudden they're too arrogant to show up for the Sugar Bowl? Jesus... When are the excuses gonna stop? When are people gonna stop getting duped into thinking this Georgia team was elite?

Not sold on Smart until/unless he gets over the hump. Until then, UGA will always just be "in the conversation."

yes they're re-thinking how to use all those 4 and 5 star recruits and the staff is re-thinking how to spend their bonus money...doubt Kirby is going anywhere soon and the Dawgs, along with the Gators, will be the teams to beat for the SEC East for years to come...

GO VOLS...RECRUIT LIKE HECK!

If Pruitt has the right players and staff yes he can beat GA every other year or so. Also depends on if Kirby starts slacking on recruiting....

He's tanned, rested and retired, and probably laughing at the poor helpless Ugas:

1. No they have taken another step.
2.Mark Richt is too classy to ever laugh at others. In a profession full of phonies. He is genuinely a great person.
