re: Kirby smart hire vs CEO

Smart has proven to be an excellent hire. Ga. certainly did very well.

But the year Richt left Ga. went 10-3 winning their bowl game. The Ga. program was stale, but they weren't bad. Smart found s decent foundation when he took over.

And yes it seems he was a better hire than O was and a better HC than Saban's other HC. I think that's obvious.

Now if we would have fired Les in 2015, could we have hired Smart? No, so it really doesn't matter. It's not like we chose O over Smart.

I think Smart had more talent when he started, and he'd out recruited us too. So yes he has more talent. I'm watching now and that's obvious.

But give our guys credit for beating them. They are a good team, but we had a good day and won. Make all the excuses for Smart, but we outplayed em and out coached em when it counted, the day the game was scheduled.

Smart looks to be a better coach than O, but it wasn't obvious when Smart took the job. He took s 10-3 team and went 8-5. Since then he's been very good.

ETA, if Smart blows this, he'll be right there with Les.

Yes we beat Georgia this year at home, i think they were over confident, we played harder and shocked them.

We beat UGA because of our opportunistic defense. Most of our points came on short fields. It's been like that for most if not all of the season. Our offense really struggles to sustain drives.

I agree. And we kicked 5 field goals vs uga if i remember correctly. Credit to the defense and cole tracey but we have struggled in red zone this year

Smart fake by Smart

12 plays 84 yards
6 for 86
4 for 77

Where did the OP go?
I wonder if he liked that fake punt?

Kirby Smart has pulled off two of the dumbest fakes this season. The fake f g against us. And that fake punt vs Bama

Goes to show what you think you know! Kirby going to lose this game by making some horrible desisions!

smart made the worst call i have even seen in college football! or football for that matter!

Kirby Smart showed me on that bonehead fake punt @ the 50 yard line in a tied game that he wont b any better than Mark Richt...

LSU and Georgia did actually play this year and Georgia did get that arse whipped. That has to at least count for something huh? Kirby just let a 14 pt lead evaporate in the SEC championship game against a backup QB and he’s a defensive coach. Yea, Alabama is great, but if that would have happened to LSU in that exact scenario there would be 100 fire Orgeron threads. Yet here we are in a thead shitting on Orgeron and praising Kirby Smart. Seems to me Smart got out schemed and out coached head to head only 5-6 wks ago, and LSU has a shitty OC right now. This fan base talks out of both sides of their mouth so damn much.
