    Georgia for the most part always had decent talent, Kirby took it to another level and assembled a great coaching staff. He is a good coach as well.

    If they swapped the Gators would be better coached and with this current team talent and schedule 6 to 7 wins would be possible with Kirby.

    BN would have Georgia as a 9 win team with their current talent.

    I think I'm year two Kirby would have better defensive talent here along the lines. We are facing the same schedule next year so 8 wins with the better talent. Year three he would have is in the playoffs.

    Georgia in year two would still have a lot of talent and would probably win 9 games again, but by year 3 after falling to the 9 win range talent would start leaving.

    Just saw that Charlie Weiss Jr is Kiffin's OC.

    Wouldn't that be a hoot if he brings CW Jr with him.

    Agree. Or at least make the other one come up with more creative titles.

    And barely lost to the eventual national champions a few years in a row. He’s been damn close.

    Funny that you say that ;)

    **Title update**

    A blowout win sets the stage for the final two weeks of Billy's UF career. If he loses to UCF, he hits the bricks.

    So says the system!
    So says we all!

    Can a defense go from terrible to functional in 2 weeks of work?

    UCF will treat this as their super bowl. A chance to come into the Swamp and embarrass big brother. I think we are actually favored by three; at home no less. That said I hope we play as if ucf is favored; i.e. play hungry.

    TBH i’m not high on any of these coaches this coaching cycle that’s being named as CBN replacement (should it come to that).
