OT-How Kirby Smart got Georgia this far this fast

[CaneToad]

Yeah, I laughed the other day when one of those cucks said that Kirby had changed the "culture" of the Georgia program?

So what was their culture and what is their culture now?

I kind of look at it like KY basketball pre-Calipari and post-Calipari. Same could be said for Alabama pre and post Saban.

I'm a huge Richt fan and happy as **** we got him, but let's just say "energizing" the alumni and booster base to "work" to their full capacity since they are tired of mediocrity has alot to do with the immediate HUGE recruiting success at Georgia. Georgia has that monstrous financial base much like Alabama.

All of that said, while I would like to think Richt at UGA with 30+ seniors this year would have accomplished the same thing, I have to be honest and say I have my doubts.

I want to believe Richt has learned a ton the last two years about the differences in the jobs. I don't want him apologizing too much for exploding in the Orange Bowl simply because I believe (or hope) that MIGHT have been the final straw for a very tolerant and passive good guy who desperately tries to overlook biased officiating against UM and chalks it up to being a man and overcoming.

My biggest concern in hiring Richt was this might be looked at more like a hobby taking him into retirement versus an opportunity to cement a legacy. He still has the desire to win, I have no doubt....but I think he knows even more now the challenge he faces at UM against state school booster conglomerates, officiating biases and potential salary restrictions in coaching, etc.

Not a bad thing in my opinion, the realization was bound to come no matter how much he thought he knew coming into the gig. I want him to hire a quality OC he shares a philosophy with and start getting ****ed off a little more often. If he doesn't believe in Us Against the World by now, I guess he never will.

UM

Fantastic post.

Roflmao this guy is Clueless. so just what is a nystateofmind, an Anthony Weiner state of mind, maybe?

Uh... He also took over for MARK RICHT, not a recruiting moron like Al Golden!!!

Would you say we have some talent on defense?

I may have been a little too harsh on Golden... My point is that in the years preceding Richt's departure from Georgia, he did a much better job recruiting than Golden did during the same timeframe. Smart inherited some elite classes; Richt didn't. Therefore any comparison between the two requires that we acknowledge two different starting points.

Here is some data from 247 sports to back this up:

2011:
UGA - #7 in the class rankings

2018 (currently):

UM #6

2019:
UGA - Has 3 of the Top 10 players in the country already committed.

Kirby was definitely helped by Chubb & Michel coming back this year when they both could have gone pro.

I don't know how great a coach Kirby is, but I do know he's recruiting better than anyone right now. You can get by being a good, not great coach when you're getting the talent he is.

Kirby is already doing things that Richt didn't. This could be the start of a dominant run for Georgia.

Florida was always the hurdle Georgia couldn't get over. And then along came Donkey Teeth, and here we are.

It's really that simple.

Agreed... Right now Kirby and UGA are on a tear... I still say he walked into a better situation than Richt did... But he's done great with what he's given, I'll give him that. Richt as well, but Richt has had to overcome so much more...

We're not far off I would say.. with the class we're bringing in now--which can still get better--and the way the 2019 class is shaping up, we're on the right track. GO CANES!!!

Ga had 6 juniors last year that would have been drafted, Carter, Bellamy, Chubb, Michel, Davis, and Sanders all came back for their senior season and everyone made themselves a lot of money in this years draft. No way Ga playing in the title came if this group had decided to take the money and run last year. Also half that roster this year were Richts recruits.

 

[SayWhat]

Yeah, I laughed the other day when one of those cucks said that Kirby had changed the "culture" of the Georgia program?

So what was their culture and what is their culture now?

I don't know if it's true or not but you don't buy into the fact that culture in a program can be changed within a year of the prior staff that was there for 10-15 years? Of course it can. It happened here.

Exactly. He re-energized the team and coached his *** off.

I said when Richt was hired that I hoped him coming back to his alma mater would energize him as well and he could right the ship. Coaching is no different than any other job in that people get bored and continue doing what previously worked even though the landscape has changed in your chosen profession. You become complacent, don't work as hard, and just go through the routine.

They both have gotten more out of their players than the previous staff. Both are recruiting better. Both I would bet would say they're working harder than ever before.

Fvck b*tch as5 Georgia....

You are so easy to dislike.

 

[ncncanes]

Georgia recruiting has been helped by the problems in Gainsville & Knoxville the last 3 years - that will change

One of the recruiting experts mentioned that MR did a great job at Georgia but didnt do a great job in OL recruiting - Kirby has done some great work in this space

Smart doesn’t have a Willie Martinez defense, so there’s that

How Kirby Smart got Georgia Bulldogs this far this fast

with 16 starters that CMR recruited, that's how!

 

[Tit-e-skr]

who cares because its not Miami. **** this make believe playoff. Its one team who deserves to be there vs a team that opinions put there. I will learn about the outcome of the "playoff" the same way I learned about UGA v. Okl AND Clem v. Bamer.....via Canesinsight. I refuse to watch that **** show they cvall a playoff....its a ****ing extra game

Maybe the opinion should have been replacing Clemson with OSU the way the "opinion" team dismantled them.

Bama lost to a rival, at the end of the season, with a sht ton of injuries. You saw what they are when healthy. I'm no Bama fan, but I do believe in putting in the best four no matter if they win a conference title or not, as long as the title winner is a top 5-10 team.

You guys act like Bama was some team in the 15-20 range who was borderline championship caliber.

They didn't win their division , enough said!

I bet you were one of the fans claiming Miami should have been in prior to the Pitt loss, no matter the outcome of the Clemson game. But since CMR sht the bed nobody seems to recall that.

Again, the playoff was put in place for the 4 beat teams. Try to comprehend that fully.

 

[miamifan007]

First of all, He's got 31 seniors. I could stop right there. He's also got a two headed monster at RB. The SEC East is not the strongest division. And honestly, he's really not done anything that Mark Richt didn't do by year 2. There just wasn't a playoff back then.

This.

Let rehash this again in 2020, 2021.

 

[Silver King]

Having the most 5-star atheletes than any of the major programs helps

 

[TheEye]

Some of you guys forget Richt stepped foot on campus to a program under probation with scholarships missing. This on top of a good decade of irrelevance.

Richt didn’t play the bag game like Kirby does.

Beat Pitt, we would have been #1 and no matter what the outcome of the acccg, we would have been in the CFP
