Sorry, maybe I’m just tired of Manball telling us what his players need to do to “help us win.”
He ought to ONLY talk about what HE needs to do after losses. I’m so tired of talk about what “we need to do better.”
Come on man. Everyone knows the players can improve. We want to know what YOU’RE going to change. That’s why you’re at the podium answering questions, joker.

I listened to the entire press conference. Everything he said made sense. I didn’t sense any blaming at all.
I also liked what I saw when they decided to pull Stetson. Not sure what Kirby said to Stetson, but it looked like Bennett appreciated it and understood. I take that as a sign of at least decent qb management.

I’m just tired of hearing the man talk. Maybe it’s just a personality clash. But to me whenever he talks this is what I hear:
“Y’all, I’ve GOT THIS FIGURED OUT. You people just don’t see it. The players just aren’t executing. That’s the only thing holding us back.”
And I’m thinking, “Just shut up, man. We know the players dropped passes, missed assignments and tackles and didn’t show poise and mental toughness. Whose job is it to ‘coach them up’? Isn’t that on you? Whose fault was it that your team folded like a wet paper bag against the two best teams it played this season?”
Be a man, step up and say “the buck stops here.”
Is that how Kirby stayed on at Bama so long, even as his defenses were steadily declining? What’d he just tell Saban, “Man, I’m begging for leadership out there!”
Y’all can tell me he’s a great coach all you want. All I know is the team I believed in most under his watch was 2017, and that team was 90%+ recruited and 50%+ coached by someone else.

@ Jared S. >>> Regarding your “The Buck Stops Here” comment above (it won’t let me comment immediately underneath it for some reason), I posted something very similar on an earlier thread today. I just don’t understand why Kirby can’t man up and accept responsibility for what’s going on in his football program. He’s fully in charge! Yes, there are outside factors that come into play but he should stop looking for blame elsewhere. True leaders realize their strengths & weaknesses, and typically don’t make the same mistakes twice. I love Kirby and want all the best for him but the dude needs to man up.

Kirby modernized the entire football infrastructure at GA. Whoever follows Kirby walks into an undeniably better job than he did.
Kirby might have some game management faults, and he epically shit the bed picking the good ole boy over a soon to be Heisman winner.
But the big, structural problems that Richt didn’t have the skill or the energy to demand get fixed have been addressed by Smart. That is not debatable.

Richt did ok until he didnt. Putting that stat up doesnt mean we need this idiotic non starter of bringing RIcht back.

How can you?? Probably not fair either way to be honest. But if you have to compare, need to compare actual games for both….apples to apples.
With that said, not advocating a change. It was probably the right time to make a change in the program with Kirby….but so far, it doesn’t seem to be an upgrade.
He can over overcome this, but no excuse for not having a couple quality backups for Fromm. We should never have to scramble to get a couple of QB (transfers).

Ok I’ll bite. I don’t want to go back to above average recruiting (with a few studs here and there) that gives us a SHOT every three years or so with some luck.
I sure would take his consulting at this time to find us a qualified QB for sure..or even Bobo’s QB coaching. Some of this QB stuff was bad luck and out of Kirby’s control, but it still falls on him.

You keep saying this like you don’t know he doesn’t read the defense in his current offense, his coaches do it for him.
That has nothing to do of course with his fit in THAT offense, which is fantastic.
He was a bad fit for the offense Kirby demanded Georgia run under a Chaney and Coley. He’d be pretty great in Monken’s offense.
It’s like you’re allergic to context.

If we had made the move earlier we might have gotten him.
CMR had Hockman, Bama had Fromm and 16 was with Clemson by the time we pulled the trigger.
(Not criticizing the timing, just pointing out that Kirby may have been able to get 16 had he been here when Trevor’s recruiting started.)
He’s the best qb prospect out of hs that I’ve seen. He checks every box. He has the right size. Hyper competitive. Very accurate. Very confident. Much faster than you would think as well. He was like 5th year Burrow at 18. Maybe better.
As far as him staying, I would hope that Leinert would be a cautionary tale for any sure top pick.
Elway and Eli got what they wanted. Don’t know why Lawrence can’t do the same. The Jets can trade the pick if 16 says he ain’t signing. Someone will pay the jets what they want.
