Exactly. Well said. He has enough sense to know what to do and so do the coaches ( Kirby). It’ll all work it’s self out in due time.
I seriously doubt Kirby will guarantee any player anything. Kirby doesn’t even guarantee a player to play less alone Start. He has even said in his recruiting process he tells recruits that if they come to UGA they must earn playing time. I trust Kirby. And I also trust Stets. Young man is probably bone tired. On that Tuesday morning after that fierce battle I wouldn’t be shocked if he stumbled over his words and thoughts some. Not to mention he might have indulged in some celebratory brewskis lol !! WAY to early to start reading allot into it and worrying over it. It’ll all work out. Kirby is on it be assured !!
It will be just plain dumb for Stet to transfer! Dawg fans have long memories and value loyalty. To transfer even after winning the natty would be perceived as disloyal and tarnish his storybook image.
That being said, Kirby will make no guarantees. Kirby is well aware that the missing link to a UGA dynasty that rivals Bama is elite QB play. Bennett lead us to the promise land and deserves our love and admiration. But, in no way, shape, or form could his play be argued as being elite.
JT lead the team to all of 3 points against the worst Clemson team in a decade. No game he has played at USC nor UGA smacked of elite QB.
Vandegriff has even more elite qualities than Brice Young in size, arm strength, athleticism, and most likely, football IQ. If the staff have been developing him the way Bama was developing Young behind Jones, he may well be the missing link
My hope is that Stet will become a grad assistant keeping him working in the QB room, go to law school and get his JD-MBA, then live like a king.
He’s earned the right to Compete for the starting position as All the players at All the positions do starting with spring practice ever since Kirby has been HC. I think Stets will understand and appreciate that.
It seems to me there are several trolls on here trying really hard to crank up a controversy where there’s not one at this juncture. Kirby Smart is not gonna guarantee Any player Anything. That’s just not Kirby. On the other hand Stetson Bennett is not S t u p I d He knows that if he does come back he will have to compete for the job just like the rest of the QBs. Kirby Smart and Coach Monken saw Something that made them decide to go with Stets over JT and that really, really sticks in the craw of some Head Coach wannabe fans Or are they in reality simply trolls ? Could be the latter trying to stir up discontent after one of the greatest wins in Dawgs history. At any rate I trust that Kirby Smart Not fans will make the right decisions. And those times when he’s wrong I’m confident he will fix. All I Know is that the Dawgs won the National Title it’s a done deal and for those that don’t like it Tough !! Go Dawgs !!
Oh and about the Bama had injuries stuff. Well the Dawgs had a Scroll of Injuries all season !! Starting the very first games !! And countless times in years past Dawgs had injuries, tons of em right before key games in many cases. So what is Dawg Nation supposed to apologize to Bama because they had injuries ? That’s just an effort by trolls disguised as fans to delegitimize the Dawgs WIN !! Not our fault that Bama didn’t have their young backups properly prepared that’s on Them. No Stetson Bennett certainly didn’t win it all by himself he had Allot of help. That’s what a TEAM is supposed to do. But he played a By Far better game and Did His Part in both the Orange Bowl and The National Title game. Dawgs Won and Stetson Bennett a former Walk On was the QB !! I know that stinks for some trolls but it is what it is !! Go Dawgs !!
Amen Brother !! Amen !!! I trust Both Kirby and Stets to do what’s right for themselves and more importantly the football program. Both dearly Love UGA. And Both understand what Sacrifice means. Something allot of people in today’s society Dont understand !! YOU certainly Do understand it !! It’s All gonna work out. And the Dawgs will be hotly competing to be in the playoffs Again !! Go Dawgs !!
Love Coach Monken but if he does leave that would be So Cool if Bono came in !! And all Three are or have been HCs like you said !! That would be a tremendous trio for sure !! Plus Both Bobo and Muschamps Sons will be at UGA !!
You mean the same Mike Bobo who has underwhelmed in his last three coaching positions? No thanks. Especially when someone like Joe Brady is available.
I suspect Bennett's comment about trusting the coaches decisions is about the possibility of Dawgs possibly bringing in a high profile QB transfer (Caleb Williams?) or he's waiting to see if Monken leaves and who the new offensive coordinator will be. It can't be him asking for a guarantee. He is a smart young man. He knows Kirby would not give anyone a guarantee. Lastly, thank you Stetson for your skill, leadership, fortitude, and dedication. You have earned the right to make whatever decision is best for you!
