Good recruiter but not a good coach in crunch time. Talk about choking 2 years in a row. Fake punt with Justin Fields was dumb. Even putting Fields in the game at QB in the 4th quarter just to run 1 play was boneheaded call. Clock management at the end of the game was awful.
 
Wait, didn't you say we were going to get smoked? We were 13.5 dogs to what everyone says is Saban's best team ever. We lost, but I told everyone we were going to surprise some people.

I actually never said you would get blown out but you do have a choke job head coach. That much is obvious now.

Congrats on your close loss though
 
Kirby here's a tip for the future: When you call for a fake punt and you see the other team LEAVES THEIR DEFENSE ON THE FIELD, then maybe you need to call a timeout and punt it.

Kirby lost to Bama for the 2nd straight year cause he didn't prepare for the backup.

And to be fair to GA, Kirby did indeed surprise.

Stupid move but I think they have the talent level getting so high they are going to be a huge issue for us the next few years. He will basically be at Bama's level of personnel starting next season.

When the defense doesn't come off the field on 4th down, you don't go through with the fake punt call. But the offense choked up the entire 4th quarter. I admit that I enjoy watching Georgia get their hearts ripped out though.

Doesn't matter as long as Georgia is at FSU's level as far as coaching.

Sorry if it wasn't you, but several on here did. I did make some money though.

You guys played well they did not play well and they still won. Had Alabama played well they would have covered the spread. I'll give you guys credit for playing a good game but some bad coaching and second half.
 
You're either trolling, stupid, or full of it man.

Dude. Your coach sent Justin Fields out there on a punt play. Bama knew the play call better than Kirby did, that's why we put the defense out there.

And still Kirby wasn't smart enough to call timeout and punt it.

He literally cost Georgia the game with that call. He's Ed Orgeron in red and black.
 
Will stick to what I've been saying...elite recruiter, mediocre at best coach. He better keep stacking top 5 classes because he damn sure ain't outcoaching anybody.

That was horrendous. Putting Justin Fields in the Game in the 4th quarter just to run a wildcat was dumb as heck with how good Fromm was playing.

It almost looked as if a recruiting promise being fulfilled. That is how bad of a move those 2 plays were.

That's what it is. Word up here is Fields told them he was leaving after LSU and he's been giving him sympathy snaps ever since. Putting him into the game at random times disrupting the offense. What's worse is you know the homers are gonna be blaming Fields for losing as opposed to that dumbass call by Kirby.

No, Bama played the worst they have in 5 years AND they lost their Heisman Trophy front runner starting QB...........and still beat uga

Yes. It looked pretty awkward. My first thought was exactly that. Recruiting promises that have been made. No head coach in their right mind would do that in an SEC championship game.
 
NavigatorII is like Farmer's Insurance. He knows a thing or two because he's seen a thing or two. :)

Some observations..................
Kirby Smart sucks as a coach.............major underachiever.
Fromm is a front running horse. When playing without a lead he sucks the major kok.

I keep hearing UGA is the youngest team in the league. WTF? Next season will be UGA's 39th straight "rebuilding season". :p
 
"I can promise you he (Saban) doesn't want to play us" - Kirby when asked if Georgia deserves to make the playoffs.

I think Georgia does. Kirby does not.

That you did. Bama helped you out by playing like garbage in the first half, but you guys took advantage and made it a game. I do wonder if you couldn’t win this year after they gave you guys so many breaks to shut the door on them if it ever will happen. But I have to say you guys played a hell of a game and deserve respect for that

Seems like Dan Mullen came close to getting Fields to come to UF, but his lifetime loyalty to Georgia was just too much to overcome. But now seeing that Fromm is the guy, Fields may be wanting to go where he can be the starter.
