Questionable calls? Going for it on 4th and 6, backed up on your own 20, with 4 to 5min left in the game was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen a big time college football coach do in game. If I was ... a fan of said school, I'd be livid. But since I'm a hater I laugh.
I can not imagine why Stoops would leave KY for a Nebraska, Auburn or especially UCLA.
But I can certainly see leaving for a TAMU, ND, Mich, etc.
Stoops has created a tremendous situation for himself…but I can see why he would want to go to a place that could win a national championship.
Keep thriving at KY…don’t mess around and beat Georgia any time soon…and wait for a big boy job to open up.
Would FSU be an opportunity?
I like the FSU call, but I think Prime Time is next in line for that gig.
Here is an argument for our own coach being a candidate worthy of being here on this thread, and IMHO it's quite valid too.
GO DAWGS!!!
I would enjoy seeing Prime Time coaching at a major college program… he is hilarious and fun! I got to know him a little when my firm had Braves season tickets on the front row behind the dugout at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium (and no one but me wanted to go to games the first half) during the ‘Worst to First’ season. Early that season, he would sit on top of the dugout and chat it up with the fans nearby. 😎
Idk. I think he enjoys what he’s doing at JSU way more than he would at FSU
The fact that this surprises many, including most in the sports media, shows that they are very shallow on research and analysis. A quick search would show that UGA is still at the top in team talent, right behind Bama...then there is a big gap and everyone else. The narrative has been "UGA lost too many people to the draft to be good this year"...but haven't bothered to check the recruiting results for the last several years that show that all those guys who got drafted are being replaced by elite blue chips.
Not to mention that ALL of our returning players who weren't starters last year got significant play time against everyone else's starters. It became a game within a game...what team is going to score a rushing TD against UGA...will any team be able to score twice? Our second string held up magnificently! I've said it repeatedly on this forum that the second best defense in the nation last year was UGA's second string. We already have three pre-season AAs on defense with Starks looking to be another. No other team has that many.
Also, not taking any transfers was a massive boss-move. Kirby flexing on the entire country saying "nope, no thanks, my guys are better". And he is proving it. Yeah, he took a shot at Williams, but he kind of had to. I'm still not so sure he was 100% in it. Anyway, Kang Kirby just gave the big middle finger to the portal process....which in turn was probably a massive shot of confidence and morale to the team. Talk about having your player's backs! That's how you build chemistry.
@pgjackson Spot on. Amen. Preach brother.
I wonder why UGA is so good again this year?
I agree overall, but Kirby did try to get some players in the portal, they just chose other destinations. In years past he's used the portal when needed. All good though, as Kirby wasn't going to waste a scholarship if it wasn't exactly the guy he wanted. Might as well save that scholly for a high school kid with upside, versus someone who may sit on your two or three deep for a year or two and be done.
After watching the Oregon game, I am happy we didn’t get Williams. He is a great QB, but…thus far, I think Stetson as a 6th year senior and third year in the Monken offense is THE guy.
I don’t think of Kirby as one of the best….
I think of him as the BEST
I think Williams would have been a huge distraction for the team and likely would have resulted in Stet and maybe one other QB leaving. Right now I don't think I'd trade Stet for anyone. He's the best combination of everything it takes to be a successful college QB. Probably not the best at any one thing, but his total skillset is perfect for what we are doing on offense.
I think Stetson definitely leaves if we get Williams. He stated pretty clearly he was going to play where he would be able to play this year. No reason for him to be a back up after winning a Natty—just move on to law school (?) and make millions as a rain maker off his fame.
@texdawg Oh okay, I see now. AMEN Sir. Ditto here. GO DAWGS!!!
