re: An attempted unbiased analysis of Kirby Smart & Ed Orgeron in their first 2 years

To this day the hire is puzzling . WHY would we settle for this guy? Even a succeful lower Level Power five guy would have made more sense. Does Alleva really not understand what it takes to compete on this level or does he not care?

He finished the year off with a bowl win over TCU and the #3 recruiting class behind only Alabama and Ohio State. Kirby lost 1 game by 3 points and 2 games by 1 point; he was 5 points from going 11-2 his first season.

So, to summize, Smart nearly went undefeated, came very close to winning a national championship, and recruited one of the top classes in the modern era of recruiting in 2 full years on Georgia's staff.

Orgeron finished 6-2 defeating only 1 ranked opponent for the rest of the season; that opponent being physically overmatched and overrated Louisville team in the bowl game. LSU finished with the #7 class that year, a bit of a slide from previous years

Orgeron finished 9-4, defeating only 1 team (Auburn) who finished the season ranked in the top 25. LSU also had a 30 point embarrassing loss to a less-talented Mississippi State team. LSU also suffered possibly the most embarrassing loss in the history of the program with a homecoming loss to Troy; a team that LSU should have beaten by 40 points

Orgeron managed this while having the best Defensive Coordinator in all of College Football on his staff for both seasons

Conclusion Georgia: Their AD had the vision and follow-through to conduct an extensive coaching search and land what seems to be a home-run hire,

They knew they weren’t a mediocre program and didn’t accept mediocrity from their leadership. As a result, their roster is absolutely loaded and they will be playing for more titles.

Conclusion LSU: Fans are at a low point for confidence in the direction of the program and many view an unexplained hasty decision by Joe Alleva,

Recruiting is still a question-mark and fans are unsure about the direction of the program. Saban showed us, as LSU fans what we could be. Miles solidified and built upon that success and made LSU a force in not only the SEC but in the country.

LSU's AD had an opportunity to re-establish LSU as a national football power, but many fans view this hire as an epic failure.

Attempt at an unbiased comparison? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!

Why did Kirby roll over to the Eaux by the tune of 36-16?

What a difference two years make! No?! Wow. Just wow...
