This thread could be summarized as: UGA is UGA
Smart has definitely improved UGA and his recruiting classes have been impressive. But, like with Richt, it seems like there is a cap on the level of success they can achieve. Maybe that's Kirby Smart's fault, but I doubt it because it has transcended multiple coaches over a period of almost 40 years. What gives? Is it just shit luck and playing in a tough conference or could it be something institutional? They can get right to the pinnacle of success, but cant get the rest of the way.
I'd love to hear thoughts on the topic because UGA's plight is one of the more fascinating in all of sports 2me.
people forget that Richt's first 6-7 years were really great. If Richt kept that kind of consistency in his later years, then he wouldn't have been let go in 2015. i still think he would have been retired by now, b/c church and family had always been his #1 priority. I think Smart's #1 priority is football which is why i think he'll have more longevity than Richt.
