The Chickens are coming to town... Go Dawgs.

First SEC-E game. The Dawgs gonna let loose and chase them out of town.

Kirby Game Week Presser:

Saturday nights game time temp will be cooler as fall is easing it’s way into Georgia…

Again Gamecocks should provide the opportunity to for the Dawgs to play younger players developing quality depth…

Media pushing aches and pains at QB … both JT and Stetson are dealing back issues… both are reporting to be able available to go..

Expect Carson to get some more work ….

Was Arkansas that much improved or Texas that bad..

Imho… combination of both ..

But without question Sam has the Hogs heading in the right direction..

Interesting that the Heads and noting the change of culture taking place in Fayetteville… sounds somewhat familiar as to what took place in Athens when Kirby arrived…. And it’s still continues … only now It has grown into the… process…. A very good thing..

Go Dawgs

Win the game handily and get the kids some work.

Also we need to start spreading the rumor that Dan Lanning drives a big diesel truck and loves guns so the California team will not call him.

KD…l spot on about Dan..l think Kirby has first hand info about advising his assistants about becoming HC… don’t go to a dumpster fire…. Wait for the fit that is best for your future..

See Tennessee an CJP or Lane Kiffin…

Go Dawgs

I don't see Lanning flying the coop just yet. Yes, that day will come but I think he's intelligent enough to know that he doesn't have the experience yet to go take on a helm anywhere. If he plays his cards right, bides his time, and does this the right way, he'll have his choice of SEC schools to go to when the time is right.

But if he jumps too soon, he can make a very consequential career mistake that he may or may not rebound from. I find it interesting in this day & age that coordinators are so short lived. It is a testament to how respected a coaching staff is to have its coordinators poached, but at the same time, there's been a downward trend in the lifespan of a coordinator in power 5 conferences: especially the SEC. And my thought on that is that a couple of years on a successful SEC team as a coordinator doesn't make one head coach ready. There's way more to it than that.

Pruitt was cited, but I can think of many other examples.

Coordinators would do very well to take a page out of Kirby's playbook and settle in to a position, really grow & mature as a coach, learn the ins and outs, enjoy some success, and then wait for the time to be to their choosing to launch out on their own career.

Look at Sam Pittman.
