I was a big Richt guy and Im a big Kirby guy so dont think I dont respect either. But I was recently thinking does Kirby have NFL coaching aspirations or is he a college lifer?
Comments
Hard to say further down the road, but honestly feel that he enjoys leading his alma mater as head coach and doesn't want any other job right now.
I think his coaching style meshes with college players best. But no telling if he has NFL goals.
He’s a recruiter... he had a taste of his mentor not excelling
Yes he had a cup of coffee in the league. Not sure how good the experience was for him.
I was just wondering if he ever saod anything or had a interview. Just suspicion you know?
Hard to know what’s in a man’s heart and mind, but with he and his wife being alum, I’m hoping their plan is to drop anchor and for Kirby to go down in hlistory as the greatest of all UGA coaches.
I wonder if NFL money is all that much better than top college coaches make.
I think his style (ENTHUSIASM!!!), love of teaching football skills and his love of UGA keeps him in Athens till he decides to retire. I sure hope I am right!

I think some of it depends on if the fanbase gets spoiled by success and we turn on him like Florida did Spurrier. That might push him to an NFL job
I always thought his move to the NFL was more about ego than anything else.
It’s too early to tell. I think if he has yrs of wild success then he could consider it if he accomplished most of what he has hoped for. I hope that’s the scenario but I have no idea if he has those aspirations.
I see Kirby coaching at UGA for a long time( not Bill Synder long). Then becoming UGA athletic director.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet! He still hasn’t won the big one yet and that is no easy task.. I think if he keeps winning though and UGA pays him why leave? He has one of the best jobs in the country and the guy can recruit. You don’t get all that in the NFL...
As long as we don’t get cheap like FSU and Kirby is winning there will be no problem. The biggest reason for Jimbo leaving was because the president and AD got cheap. If the big heads at Georgia pay him well and meet his demands he won’t leave.
