And it’s Bama’s fault they lacked depth. Don’t let your best players be pussies I guess
I'm not white knighting anything -- You are the one who said Kirby won the big game. I simply stated, he backed into it. Georgia won the NCG last year, but Bama was the best team. Georgia was lucky enough to stay healthy.
UGA had injuries too, they just had depth.
I couldn't give a shit about Day. I simply asked if Smart was a bargain hire because he had no HC experience.
“I don’t care about Day but I’m gonna white Knight for him”
If you swapped Kirby and Harbaugh -- it'd be Harbaugh with those recruiting classes. It isn't rocket science. A kid growing up in Georgia, rooting for Georgia, dreaming of going to Georgia, is going to pick Georgia. It is why the "top schools" happen to be located in the top recruiting states for high school football.
A coach can sleep walk to a top 10 recruiting class at UGA, Richt pretty well did, but Kirby’s recruiting prowess and connections in the southeast bring it to the next level and Kirby recruits nationally as good as anyone. Harbaugh doesn’t have the same connections, and isn’t gonna win near as many recruiting battles against Saban as Kirby does. And you still have to be able to game plan and develop to have success. Recruiting at A&M hasn’t been an issue for Jimbo.
If you swapped the location of Michigan and Georgia -- the recruiting swaps with it. It'd be Michigan with the stacked classes. It'd be Georgia with the occasional 5 star recruit.
Then why wasn’t Richt recruiting at the same level as Kirby? Location definitely matters, but you still have to put in the work and hire the right assistants to move from good recruiting classes to elite recruiting classes, and you still have to be able to develop, which is why the QB is a former walk on and the top two WRs were 3 stars with McConkey being a no star until UGA offered him, and why both the top TE’s and the top CB are west coast guys.
Way too clean for sure.he wasnt as good at loopholes?
Watch what happens to Michigan if we play Georgia. I'm not delusional, like yourself. We will get stomped......again. There are levels to this game. The ONLY reason Nebraska will compete for a division title is they play in a weak division. You put Nebraska in the B1G East and they wouldn't even sniff a division title.
Michigan will stay exactly where they always are, because our Administration is a nightmare. We won the B1G last year and went to the CFP and this year we have one of our lowest recruiting classes in a while.
