Kirby will be a bad hire. Muschamp part 2.

What was Richt's buyout?

Certainly not the current governor, but you'd be a fool to think the incoming governor's support for keeping Les had nothing to do with it. Alexander wants to keep grant money and budget money flowing, so he has to keep up his image of LSU being "poor." A $15m buyout, private or not, doesn't look good for that image.

Well, coaching is a fluid business. Sometimes a change is good for all parties.

do you think Mark Richt was a good coach? He was never a HC before being hired and UGA ousted a good coach. Good programs take risks and make good changes.
Richt was the wunderkid offensive coordinator at Florida St when they were the shite. Supposedly a brilliant offensive mind, plus he learned how to run a program from Bowden, who was the best of the South. And true to form, notice how many great offensive players came through that program.

don't understand this. Why get rid of a proven head coach, only to hire an unproven coordinator?
Cuz he's got a lotta dawg in him.

Just wanted to follow back up on this. Richt had extremely underwhelming seasons on a weak side of the conference when he should have greatly outperformed teams that he didnt. UGA parted ways with Richt in the same way as Donnan, under-performance.

Kirby is the DC of the best defense the near history of CFB. I know Saban runs it, but he is still there

Saban eats pieces of shite like Bowden for breakfast. I'd rather my coach be a Saban pedigree than Bowden, no doubt

shite, and to think I wasted my time melting over their hiring of Hermann, the melted again when they were hiring Jimbo...

I can't think of any former Saban Coordinators that have done well as head coaches recently. McElwain is still on the fence because he's in yr 1.

Bowden, a "piece of shite" as you put it, had 377 official wins, with another 12 vacated. Saban has 188 wins.
Regarding coaching tree, Saban has a number of guys that went on to become head coach. Derek Dooley and Will Muschamp are among that crowd. Jimbo Fisher was actually a product of Terry Bowden, both as a QB then 10 yrs as an offensive coach. So that would seem to put him in the Bowden tree, alongside Richt.

Jimbo Fisher not ring a bell?
Like you said Jim McElwain is still relatively unknown but he seems to have done fairly well in year one.
Smart has been the DC there since 08 so it's not like there are really many to pick from.
Muschamp would be the only consensus failure and he wasn't THAT bad
