It’s probably been stated already- but given the current state of college football, the differences aren’t as glaring as they once were

In fairness, winning SEC titles doesn’t mean a whole lot these days. That’s like bragging about winning the Sunbelt.

You can’t even win the Almost Competitive Conference. Go log out and let the football schools talk.

I have been following the firing of the shitty head coach of the Falcons and the Falcons fanbase fricking sucks.

First.. I went to a game a few weeks ago for the first time in a while and I was shocked at the crowd. I don't want to sound like I hate black people (because I really don't) but 70% of the stadium was black - which is fine.. They are all cool and friendly and awesome fans in the crowd - the stadium was rocking and it was a fun atmosphere.

This was kind of the reason I started this thread about Kirby and how he could bring in a whole new fanbase to the team - this was basically what I was referring to

However, reading message boards and posts on social media throughout this season and now onto the offseason.. the fanbase only wants black people on the team. I feel that the previous head coach was a DEI hire and I also feel that the QB pick was a DEI hire. We got Cousins and the fanbase pitched a fricking fit because he was white so the front office went out and wasted a pick on Michael Penix Jr

Now, the majority of the fanbase is demanding that the next head coach will be another black head coach. It's like the majority of the fanbase hates white people.

Just kidding man. I’ve said many times I like Kirby. He isn’t taking a pay cut to go the NFL nor should he. The biggest problem at UGA right now is lack of talent evaluators. If that continues those close wins will turn to losses.

We are?

But I’m not surprised considering they still wore Vick jerseys and blamed Matt Ryan for everything

From what I am reading on X and Facebook.. yes. They keep posing pics of potential new coaches (who I have no idea who they are because I really don't follow the NFL much) and every picture that I have seen posted for a new coach is a black dude.,

that’s a stretch but I do think that conference titles aren’t what they were even 2 years ago when the path to the playoffs and national title game required them.

Ohio state last year didn’t even play in the big cg and lost to the big conference champs during the regular season but smoked them in the rematch to the playoffs.

If a program can get into the playoffs without playing the CG it’s probably better for them and preferable tbh

He is not really a great X and O guy. The parity of talent in the NFL would not be kind to Kirby


Disagree. Listen to one of his clinic talks. He's not Saban, but he's next level on defensive schemes.
