Former UGA tight end could see a new head coach by 2018
Entering Week 10 with a 4-4 record is not how many people expected the Kirby Smart era to begin at Georgia. Following UGA’s 24-10 loss to Florida, former Bulldogs tight end Arthur Lynch didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts on Smart’s long-term status, stating he wouldn’t be surprised to see a new coach in Athens by 2018.
The Dawgs just aren't very good. Lack depth and consistency on offense. Bright spot is the defense. Pressure is officially on smart.

If he has another year like this one I won't be surprised to see Coach Mike Bobo return home as HC in 2018.

To be clear: I am still 100 percent for the Dawgs. I'm just venting and coming to grips with the unfortunate reality.

Despite retweeting a user who was self-described “Team Bobo from the star,” Lynch said he’s pulling for Smart to figure things out and get on track.
Worth noting: i am a fan of Kirby and believe he will succeed. I was clearly just stating my opinion after yesterday's loss.

Lynch played for Smart’s predecessor, Mark Richt, from 2009-13. Mike Bobo, now Colorado State’s head coach, was the offensive coordinator during that time.
Easy there Arty, let’s give the man at least a full recruiting cycle before jumping to judgment
Agree 100%, GA will bounce back to competing for the east sooner than later under Coach Smart, and Eason will get through the growing pains to live up to the hype. I look forward to the Muschamp vs Smart match ups in the future.
Agreed…in the end I believe Kirby will produce a better program than Muschamp at South Carolina, and compete soon for the head seat in the SEC East. Smart’s a top-flight recruiter and as a defensive-minded coach saw enough at Alabama to know he’ll have to have a proven Offensive Coordinator by his side to be successful. But he needs some time…so give it to him.
Muschamp was the exact same mold when he went to Florida. Just kind of tossing that out there as it’s not a big reason to get expectations up.
You know I’m a Dawg thru and thru but did anyone really think for a second that we would contend for anything without an offensive line that can’t block for two of the finest running backs in the game.
Honker down boys and go “DAWGS”!!!!!!!
Please anybody but Bobo!!!!
Kirby Smart is Will Muschamp 2.0. No matter the excuses, from a talent standpoint alone, Georgia should never lose to Vandy. 10-2 under Mark Richt looks really good from 4-4. I never thought I would say this, but watch out for Kentucky.
Calm down there sir, even USC didn’t lose to Vandy this year.
Cmon guys, if all
Sorry about that, cont: y’all do is continue to do is be negative then there’s really no need to voice your displeasure thru hear. Write the A.D and see if he he takes notice to your heart felt opinions in Kirby’s 1st year.
