WOW!! Dreams Come True . . . .

If Kirby comes to Athens, he is coming as Head Coach. The only if is our present head coach remaining for one more year. That in my opinion would be a plus for not only Kirby Smart, but for the program as a whole. Like richt or not, there is more to being head coach than running on the football field with the team. Some "guidance" from richt to Smart would be a good thing. It would make the transition easier for those that are followers of mark richt.

Example: Not quite the same, but Jimbo Fisher replacing Bobby Bowden. Said more than once on this board that richt has followed the path of Bowden, this is the final step. The best way for mark richt to leave UGA as head coach. Smart will be the head coach, will not be called head coach in waiting, will be a year of using the word again . . . . transition.

"ADAPTING"

With SEC offenses putting up record numbers, he realized his team needs some change and now with McCarron leaving it is a great time to expand his offense and tune up the defense.

That has always been my major complaint about Richt, his refusal to adapt and change. Same ole Same ole rarely works forever.

36869, hope that you are around this board for a long time. You are spot on describing both coaches, in my opinion. Our play book has been open for all to see for many years.

Buc, I think I missed what Fran said. What's up with him?

UGA cannot put anything in writing about him getting the job of HC if it becomes open. That would be the "head coach in waiting deal" and would limit him to 1 recruiting visit per year per NCAA rules. If they did that it would be just plain stooopid to limit KS on the recruiting trail.......
