Jimmy Hyams talks to some SEC coaches about what they think of SEC East head coaches. Here’s something one of them said about Kirby:
At Georgia, the NIL was alive and well at least for the last four years, make no mistake about it.
No specifics were forthcoming. Naturally.
And here’s an observation about Florida:
“I don’t think Dan Mullen did a good job recruiting talent at Florida,’’ said an SEC coach. “He was a great offensive coach there, but ultimately he couldn’t control those kids.
“The same question goes for Billy Napier: can he manage those kids? Billy will recruit kids that fit his culture and personality and stay away from the guys that don’t. But the best kids in Florida often have an edge to them, and you’ve got to be able to handle them.
“Nick Saban is smart and can handle edgy kids. I don’t know if Billy (a former Saban assistant) is wired that way.’’
I guess edge is the new thug. Some things never change. They just get repackaged.
Can you say Shane Beamer?

If Kirby figures this one out, there may be hell to pay in Columbia.

After reading the column linked I think it’s him too. The direct quotes point to a southern syntax and one who has been around a few years, nobody in the east fits that, maybe Beamer but he doesn’t use “ain’t” that much.

You’re on the right path there, chuckie,
but he was edgy until he got with those ditchlizard kids, and then, miracle upon miracle, for 4 years, they were all CHOIRBOYZ in jorttown…
he leaves those ditchlizard CHOIRBOYZ and heads up north and, bingo, he’s back to edgy!!

So the question I have is, we’re those lizturds really chameleons and change colors on their own for 4 years or did they never really change colors but instead were camouflaged by the jorttown enabler committee?

It is wild. Beamer is somehow on the cusp of being a great coach at South Carolina but Kirby just buys the best players, throws the ball out there and doesn’t mess with the QBs enough to win with “THE NEVER TO BE DUPLICATED BEST DEFENSE IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.” Can’t wait til we put 45 on that Grantham like defense in Tuscaloosa this December.

So, is ir OK for us to scoff at Florida players as selfish and undisciplined, or nah? And is Kirby pointing that out, and that we ARE disciplined, bad now? I can’t keep up.
Anyone who thinks NIL hasn’t been alive and well forever must not remember the old Southwest Conference. It’s just out in the open now.

Best anonymous quote for me: “When you’ve got the No. 1 overall pick of the draft and he doesn’t make All-SEC, you know you’ve got talent. And many talented players return.”
To me that says we are reloading, and it also says that the people who make All-SEC picks are lazy dumb asses.
