re: For the fire Miles crowd last year and beginning of this year

Miles turned OK state around and took them to the first bowl game in decades

Hey everyone on this thread, cut tigerbacon some slack. He's in the weening stage, it takes some tittibabies longer than others.

Because he beat big game Bob twice he turned okie state around who doesn't beat big game Bob

I'd almost rather struggle with a new coach than endure anymore Miles' offensive, time management and ST woes.

It's his first season you frickhead.

Christ does anyone here understand that coaching changes do not instantly guarantee success?

Nebraska fired Pelini after going 9-3.

They're ranked top 10 and about to be 6-0 right now

Miles was a great recruiter

Yes. It's what he was best at.

and average game day coach

Hell no. It's what he was worst at.

Smart is proving to be a below average game day coach and yet to be determined recruiter.

Georgia is doing great in recruiting currently. You say he's a "yet to be determined" recruiter. If you can't make a final judgement on his recruiting skills, how can you on his game day coaching skills? The same amount of time has passed to see both on display.

You might be right about Kirby being a bad hire, but it's too premature to make that determination. Georgia is still recruiting very well and it's half way through his first season. If you're making this much of a knee jerk reaction to Georgia, prepare yourself. Next year for us may not be very productive. I expect you to be one of the melters along with other fans who aren't prepared for the possible short term negatives when making a coaching change. This is a new era for us and Georgia. You have to give it more time to make a full judgement.

Dude the man rode a wave of momentum created by saban.

Is that you nick?

Yeah those 8, 9 and 10 win years really created a hell of a wave. The records you fricksticks bash Miles for (10-3, 9-3, 8-4) are the exact same records saban had in his five years at LSU, except the National Championship year.

If Miles win totals year to year sucked, like so many of you like to proclaim, so did sabans. Sabans teams won 8 games, 10 games, 8 games, 13 games and 9 games year to year. That's really impressive!

I fully expect losses from any coach who comes here regardless of talent. Any coach we hire needs to be a guy we're willing to accept will have a few losses on the way to getting where we want to be.

Honestly, I think O's done so well at USC and now here (so far) because we already part of the team. The atmosphere may have been altered, there may be changes, but he's already been working with them for an extended period. He knows the team, it's strengths and weaknesses, has relationships with the players, etc. A new coach won't have any of that, but it helps him get the players he needs, the coaches he needs, and stay afloat on the built-in talent to stay competitive while we rebuild.

Tennessee was a dumpster fire when Fulmer left, and UGA just did what UGA always does and got their "statement loss" for the year that serves as a reminder to everyone how good UGA COULD BE if they weren't genetically pre-disposed to blowing it every year.
