Richt didn't leave Kirby Much to work with.

No one has come on here and declared CKS a messiah. We have to a man (-one) said that we will not judge his coaching ability until we have seen him coach a season. We have also said before a game was played that UGA was not going to be very good this year. You Vols come in here and act like we were claiming to be the best team in the world, when it is as far from the truth as you can get. Just expected a little better from you, but not buck.

Just talking smack. Though to be honest any uga fan I personally know thought smart would be the savior and starting this year not 3-4 down the road.

I know a bunch of them and have yet to meet one who thought a rookie coach would come out and set the world on fire.

Me either.

Richt got run out of town for not winning with great talent he was recruiting. And smart is receiving justification for losing with the same talent though the "cupboard was left bare".

This. There will be bumps in the road just like any first time HC. I don't need Kirby to win a national championship this year, honestly never expected it but what all Dawg fans need to see is a better effort from the top down than what was displayed Saturday. It's over and done with. Take your lump, pick your heads up and get back after it! Go Dawgs!

I just see it as a reflection of the people 4x4 chooses to surround himself with.

I live pretty close to Athens. There's a few fans here too, but none of them think the way your "friends" do. Maybe you're just a bad judge of character.

Between the Class of 2013 & 2014 the Bulldogs signed a total of 51 players. 24 of those players have either transferred, been dismissed and/or exhausted their eligibility. That leaves the Dawgs with only 27 upperclassmen on their roster from the Class of 2013 & 2014. Of those 27 players there are only 3 senior starters and there are 8 junior starters. There is also a total of 5 total significant contributors from each of those classes for the Dawgs. The Class of 2013 is the class that has set the Bulldogs back a tremendous amount and a big reason for the current struggles. Only 1 of the Top 10 ranked players from the Bulldogs Class of 2013 is a contributor (Brandon Kublanow). Only 3 are still on campus. You can’t say anything other than terrible. You cannot compete and win against quality opponents if that is how you recruit.

That sounds like a great excuse, but it isn't true. Kublanow, Atkins, Brice Ramsey(# 2 that year), Reggie Davis, David Bellamy, Ryne Rankin, Jordan Davis, Quincy Mauger, and Brendan Douglas were part of the 2013 class and are all still there.
Greg Pyke was actually part of the 2012 class.
Sony, Chubb, McKenzie, Wynn, Parrish, Blazevich, Gaillard, Sims, Baker, Fenteng, and Dominick Sanders were all part of the 2014 class and are all still there.

Nearly all of the SEC teams have turnover like that. How do you think they sign 25(plus including grey CensoredCensoredCensoredCensoredCensored) kids per year when they only have 85 scholarships.

Tom Herman last year at Houston
Chris Petersen at Bosie State
Didn't Terry Bowden go undefeated year one at Auburn? Larry Coker at Miami. O.k. I couldn't type the last one without laughing a little, but he did win the NC as a rookie head coach.

If I here these clueless Vols say one more time that Butch started with nothing and CKS started with a great depth of talent, I think I will bite my keyboard into. I am not going to show them again that Butch took over equal talent as CKS did, because they can not comprehend that. If UT is great as they think they are, HS players all around the country should be standing in line to play there.

http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/073013aad.html

Besides a couple on o line we had nothing onoffense. No Sony, no #1 rated TE, no Herschel Walker clone (Chubb), no WRS unless you want to count pig. And no QB, especially #1 QB.

Y'all have a more serviceable D than we had.
And 2 stud Backs. Better WR, TE and QBs.

On defense we had 1 star in AJ Johnson and Cam Sutton as a freshman who was an unknown.

Trust me, Buddy. Kirby has it made compared to this roster

And another thing UT was back the day they hired Butch and told everyone about it. How long did it take him?

Who claimed we was back? Half Vol Nation wanted nothing to do with Butch. The rational thought It would be fair to give him 4 years. No one in their right mind said UT was back with a depleted Dooley roster and a coach Dooley stomped. We lucked up with Butch- in what he has done thus far. I don't really know what to make of him as a gameday coach, cause he still makes questionable decisions. But he is giving us results in everything he does. I want to see what he can do with an o line and a better passer, but at the same time, I don't want to regret him either. But he's not going anywhere for a few years. This year SHOULD get recruits attention at least. If all goes as should

 

[BuckNasty83]

4X4 I am tired of the double standard. Why are you guys holding CKS to a much higher standard than you did Butch. He was hired 4 years ago and we have not seen a Championship yet. The comparison of talent you guys put forward has been thoroughly debunked but you just keep .

Cause its a joke to compare UGA presently to UT in 2013. And Kirby was a big name hire yall wanted. Who knows what he'll do, but EVERYONE looks good with Bama's talent.


I understand what yall are going through. Trust me. But it's not as our past decade. Y'all should recover quickly. And have a better start



Point is UT has been made fun of and called everything in the book for what your claiming is your problem now. It took 3 years to get here. And we're still building depth behind what was the youngest roster 2 years ago. And who knows if we've arrived? They have competed well for a mediocre coach and to be young up til now

Do we need to start bringing back threads to prove the point. Just don't see how they can have it both ways...
