Not only is Kirby throwing the right punches to build a strong program for Our Dawgs but he also looks at the business side & how important it is to market your brand name ! His moves will not only build it for today but for years to come !!! You go Kirby
I remember a quote from Coach Bryant about recruiting. There was no scholarship limit then and he said he gave scholarships to players he knew wouldn't see any playing time on Saturdays because they might be good enough to help some other team beat him. Another upside is that he got a lot of "late bloomers" that became stars. With that kind of attitude and budget, it's understandable that alabama won all those championships under Bryant.
I agree with all of this except the part about the LED lights. They were neat during the Notre Dame game, but the novelty has kind of worn off, and the old-fashioned lights seemed to illuminate the field better. The LED lights kind of give everything a slight greenish tint, especially on TV.
I know UGA spent millions on the LED lights and they aren't going anywhere, but I miss the old lights.
Love it. Go Dawgs! Great perspective on how Georgia has taken off while AL has languished. Nice article BA! And you say you are not a journalist (journalist!).
It will happen. UGA can and will beat Ala at some future date . However , it won’t be because we hired Cochran.
Kirby left Alabama and change is coming with him!
UGA still only ranks No.6 in the SEC Facilities race, but that's also about to change. It's a shame that UGA let other Universities outpace them is so many important areas of the football program, but that is finally changing.
Hiring Scott Cochran sure has sent a shock-wave through the SEC. Way to go Kirby!
