Booger McFarland: Kirby Smart 'has done less with more maybe than Mark Richt'
Throughout Kirby Smart’s Georgia tenure he has been compared to his predecessor, Mark Richt. ESPN analyst Booger McFarland was the latest to compare the two in an unflattering way.
“If you are a Bulldog fan and you are going to sit there and stare honesty in the eye – Kirby has done less with more maybe than Mark Richt,” McFarland said, as shared by the official Twitter account of “The Paul Finebaum Show.”
Smart is five seasons into his UGA tenure, his first head-coaching job. Media outlets and users on social media platforms have frequently compared Georgia’s record under Smart to what it was after the same amount of games under Richt.
In Richt’s first five seasons, the Dawgs went 56-13. Smart’s record through five seasons is 52-14. The records are not a complete apples-to-apples comparison as Richt’s tenure did not include an all-SEC season lacking “cupcakes” as the 2020 season did in which Smart’s squad managed to go 8-2 (without a scheduled game against winless Vanderbilt). Richt also did not take Georgia to the national title game, though Richt’s 2002 squad would have almost certainly been part of a final four (13-1, ranked No. 3 in final AP Top 25).
Georgia decided to part with Richt after a 9-3 season in 2015 feeling a new coach (Smart) would take the program to the next level and bring home the first national championship since 1980. Dawg fans and rivals alike are watching closely to see if that will be the case or if Smart’s critics will continue to echo McFarland’s point made Friday.

Booger dropping truth bombs!
You need to worry about your seriously underperforming head coach. As desperate as he was get out of Gaineville it looks like he couldn’t get a job offer from the NFL. He really screwed himself with the 3 game losing streak at the end of the year and the off field behavior. Drama queens like Mullen don’t last long in the NFL.
Tell highly regarded master analyst McFarland.
Highly regarded master analyst? If he’s that brilliant he’d be a head coach somewhere. He’s a talking head with some knowledge of the game and he has some charisma. That’s all.
And you completely dodged my comments about your drama queen coach. The truth hurts even for MrTruth. Lol.
Win your division first bud, talking sh!t from 2nd place….like you guys were literally just the best loser.
If you’re not first you’re last.
Mr. People, I guess you were talking to me. Shove your Bama arrogance and get back to flipping burgers.
Hey BOOGER. How about for starters. UGA has dominated ALL our east rivals and auburn out of the west. Every single season except his first. And he beat a high ranked auburn team then to! We lost to a truly great auburn team ONCE! In year 2. The team that also beat Alabama by over 2 touchdowns the next game.
THEN KIRBY AND UGA AVENGED THAT LOSS 28-7 and almost 35-7!!!! TO WIN THE SEC! Then Alabama was voted in and given special treatment. Allowing them to play the easier team in clemson with Kelly Bryant. While UGA had to travel across the country to play OU and it was the best OU team yet!!! UGA BEATS THEM. THEN ON TO ALABAMA. IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THAT RICHT NEVER GOT UGA TO!
UGA KICKS ALABAMA ALL OVER THAT FIELD!!! BEATS ALABAMA!!! And the REFS steal it from them. With horrible calls and no calls!!! UGA WON THAT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE REFS GAVE IT TO ALABAMA!!!!
HEY FAT BOY BOOGER. ONLY THE HEAD REF OF THAT GAME ADMITTED THAT HE COST UGA THE GAME!!! SO KIRBY HAS ALREADY WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP OVER SABAN IN MY BOOK.
SABAN NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE TO WINNING ONE OR EVEN WINNING MUCH. BEFORE HE GOT TOGETHER WITH KIRBY SMART AT LSU TO WIN NOT HIS FIRST BUT ” THEIR FIRST TOGETHER!!!! ”
Kirby Smart was on every single LEGIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM, that Saban ever coached. Except this last covid one!!! So umm in my book. That means KIRBY IS OFFICIALLY TIED WITH SABAN!!! Because without Kirby Saban never wins one with LSU OR ALABAMA EXCEPT THIS LAST ONE. SINCE UGA WON IN 2017 I COUNT THAT ONE FOR KIRBY!!!!
So Kirby won a national championship in 2017. And Saban won this last one. ALL THE OTHERS WERE WON BY BOTH OF THEM. AND WANT SOME REAL HONESTY BOOGER? WITHOUT KIRBY RUNNING HIS GREAT DEFENSE FOR HIM. HE NEVER WINS THOSE. KIRBY SMART WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT COACH OF THE SABAN/KIRBY ERA!!!!
But all but his first season and this injury season. Kirby Smart and UGA has DOMINATED ALL OF OUR EAST RIVALS AND MOST OF THE WEST!!! Including a total RAPE of Dan Mullen’s unbeaten Mississippi state team that had destroyed LSU the week before. Was UNBEATEN around anywhere from 4-0 to 5-0 or 6-0 I don’t remember. But that 2017 game was a RAPE!!! Mullen probably burned his original Darth Vader costume that night. You know the expensive one made for adults who are crazy about Luke Skywalker after all these years!!! MULLEN HAD TO GO BUY ANOTHER CHEAP COSTUME!!!
BOOGER ALWAYS TALKS GOOD ABOUT MULLEN THE TIMES I’VE HEARD. SO NO WONDER HE IS TALKING CRAP!!!! UGA ENDS ON A HIGH NOTE AND HIS BOYFRIEND MULLEN ENDS WITH A 35 POINT BEATING AND 4 LOSSES. WHILE UGA ONLY HAS 2 WITH NEITHER LOSS BEING THE REAL UGA TEAM!!!!
BOOGER RICHT NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE TO DOMINATING OUR EASTERN RIVALS AND EVEN MANY SEC WESTERN TEAMS. LIKE KIRBY HAS! It’s not even close!!! Get your facts before you talk BOOGER!!!! If Richt were still running this show. We wouldn’t have recruited half as good. We would still be worried about losing to Tennessee, Florida and Kentucky and probably Missouri!!!!
BOOGER MCNUGGET YOU DUMB BA$TARD. KIRBY AND HIS ” ELITE RECRUITING ” IS EXACTLY WHY WE OWN THE EAST!!!! NOBODY REALLY BELIEVES THAT FLORIDA IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING. OTHER THAN GET BLOWN OUT BY UGA NEXT YEAR!!!!!
FLORIDA WON THANKS TO 70% OF THE STARTING UGA DEFENSE BEING INJURED. WITH OUR 5TH STRING QB PLAYING IN THE OFFENSE. THANKS TO OPT OUTS AND INJURIES!!!! PLUS NOT COUNTING STETSON BENNETT. 40% OF THE STARTERS WERE MISSING ON OFFENSE!!!
FLORIDA HAD 80% MORE STARTING TALENT AS A TEAM AGAINST OU THAN UGA HAD AGAINST FLORIDA EASILY!!!! Over all UGA might have played 35% of their overall team vs Florida. While Florida was missing a few wrs!!! Big deal!!!! UGA ALSO WAS MISSING THEIR BEST WR VS FLORIDA. PICKENS DIDN’T PLAY!!! NEITHER DID 5 STAR WR BLAYLOCK!!!
Plus it still wouldn’t matter with Stetson Bennett passing it as opposed to JT DANIELS! Get real!!!! FLORIDA HAD BOTH KYLE TRASK AND ALL THEIR BACKUPS LIKE EMORY JONES AND A RICHARDSON!!!! Still they got beat by 35 to OU!!!! LOL. UGA STILL OWNS THE EAST. INCLUDING THIS SEASON!!!! AND WE SURE AS HELL OWN IT NEXT SEASON. FLORIDA WILL BE REBUILDING ANOTHER 3 OR 4 YEARS BEFORE THEY WILL EVEN GIVE US A GOOD GAME AGAIN!!!!
BECAUSE KIRBY SMART HAS MADE A HUGE TALENT GAP BETWEEN UGA AND FLORIDA!!! IN FAVOR OF UGA!!!! YEARS OF DIFFERENCE!!!! BOOGER WHEN DID RICHT EVER DO THAT????? BOOGER HAS THE PERFECT NAME!!!! SOMETHING YOU BLOW THEN THROW IN THE GARBAGE!!!!!
BOOGER IS A BLOW HARD AND HIS OPINIONS BELONG IN THE GARBAGE!!!!!
LIVE WITH IT YOU FAT, UGLY AND STUPID SLOB! THOSE ARE ALSO TRUTHS YOU MIGHT LOOK IN THE EYE BOOGER!!!! Your name BOOGER fits you. But I wonder how you got the name BOOGER? Did somebody catch you picking your nose and eating boogers? YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!! Or did someone think you just happened to resemble a BIG FAT AND UGLY BROWN BOOGER??? I’M LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH HERE BOOGER?????
BOOGER IS ALMOST AS BIG OF A JOKE AS DAN MULLEN. WHO STARTS A FIGHT. THEN DRESSES UP LIKE DARTH VADER FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE!!! Mullen is right. He didn’t go buy it after the game. It was already in his locker!!!! HE BROUGHT A BABY COSTUME TO WORK WITH HIM!!!
IT WASN’T EVEN AN EXPENSIVE COSTUME!!! It looked like a 4 year olds that you might find at Kroger!!!! But yea, that tells me. That he intended to START A FIGHT!!!! Because he had it all planned. It was all part of his big Halloween fight and then a win. BECAUSE HE THINKS HE RUNS THE NEW DEATH-STAR in the SEC!!!!! WELL MAYBE IF 4 LOSSES AND GETTING BLOWN OUT BY 35 POINTS. MAKES YOU THE TOUGH KID ON THE BLOCK. MAYBE SO THEN!!!!
WHAT A JOKE….
Surely even people unashamed to wear jorts. Must have still been ashamed to see their head coach with a $10.00 Darth Vader costume on after he started a fight? In the middle of a press conference. Please someone admit it bothered you. If it didn’t back then. How do you feel 4 losses and 35 point beating by OU later???? WHY DIDN’T HE BRING OUT HIS LIGHTSABER AND DARTH VADER COSTUME. AND STOP THAT RAPE BEFORE IT HAPPENED? BY SIMPLY USING THE FORCE???? AFTER THE OU RAPE OF THE MUD LIZARDS???? DON’T ANY OF YOU GATOR FANS ASK. DANNY BOY DARTH. WHY DIDN’T YOU USE THE FORCE??? I suppose that would be cheating, RIGHT? DANNY BOY DARTH VADER WOULD NEVER EVER CHEAT! THE NCAA IS JUST OUT TO GET HIM. IS THAT IT????
YOUR HEAD COACH DRESSES IN A CHILD’S COSTUME AS DARTH VADER. BRINGS IT TO A GAME WITH HIM. ALONG WITH (HIS PLASTIC LIGHTSABER) MADE LITERALLY (FOR A 4 YEAR OLD.) AND Y’ALL STILL WONDER HOW THIS TEAM COULD LOSE 4 GAMES. AND GET BEATEN AND RAPED BY 35 POINTS. TO END THE SEASON? AS UGA ENDS THE SEASON BEATING AN UNBEATEN TEAM. THAT WOULD HAVE ALSO BEATEN FLORIDA BY 35 EASILY!!!!
NOW I SEE WHY MAMA MULLEN. KISSES ALL THOSE UGLY PLAYERS, ALL THE TIME. SHE IS PROBABLY WANTING TO FIND A GROWN-UP SOMEWHERE. TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM THIS CLOWN!!!!
You won’t get lucky against UGA next year. And you won’t win! If UGA loses next season to Florida. IF WE HAVE A HEALTHY TEAM. THEN ILL COME ON HERE AND RENOUNCE UGA PUBLICLY!!!!! But I’m not worried in the least!!!
DANNY BOY MULLEN REMINDS ME OF DARTH VADER. HE REALLY DOES! Y’ALL REMEMBER THE MOVIE WHERE AFTER THEY BLOWUP THE DEATH-STAR AND DARTH VADER GOES SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL IN HIS LITTLE SHIP? REMEMBER HIM YELLING THE WHOLE WAY INTO DEEP SPACE???? THAT REALLY REMINDS ME OF MULLEN. SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!
MESSAGE FOR DANNY BOY DARTH MULLEN…
In fact you can bet. The whole Florida program will be spinning out of control next season. It’s already begun!!!! And after UGA puts the final dot on the Dan Mullen period, next season. I’m probably making a video for y’all to remember him by!!! OTHER THAN THE DAWGS KICKING HIS TEAM’S A$$! AT THE END YOU’LL ALL GET TO SEE DARTH MULLEN AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE. THEN YOU’LL SEE DARTH VADER SPINNING OUT INTO SPACE WITH WORDS THAT SAY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS. GOODBYE DANNY BOY, NO HARD FEELINGS!!! AND PROBABLY NEVER AGAIN!!!! LOL, WITH PICTURES OR VIDEO OF MAMA MULLEN KISSING SOMEBODY ELSE FOR THAT PART!!! Y’all might get it someday. LOL!!!!!
PS. THE VIDEO WILL BE SOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!! In fact I’m thinking it should be made as a tribute to ” THIS 4 LOSS SEASON!!!! ” UNCLE LOU, WHERE ARE YOU?????? LOL
King Negan
@Wde…….You said this.
” Competitive or not, Smart also lost all three of those. ”
I say. BS!!!!!! Smart won in 2017!!! Not only did UGA win the SEC!!! UGA also beat Alabama all over that field and totally got screwed!!! The REF stole that game for Saban!!! With terrible bad calls and no call after no call ALL NIGHT!!! Go watch the game and you’ll see!!!
Kirby Smart has 1 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP as a head coach. The one in 2017!!! I’ve been saying it and was finally vindicated!!! THE HEAD REF OF THAT GAME ADMITTED HIS CALLS WERE WRONG AND THAT UGA WAS SCREWED!!!! Anyone can have a win taken away from them by REFS!!!!
I’m not going to stop saying it. As long as people keep talking like you!!!! Other than maybe Alabama fans. There is not a fan base on here that wouldn’t love to have Kirby Smart. Including Florida and auburn!!! Alabama fans might trade Saban in order to get a younger version of him named Smart!!!
PS. That would be the SMART thing to do!!!

ATTENTION SDS:
I’ve noticed that you sensor many of my post. If it’s because you think they are too long. Okay, simply put that as a rule on your site. I am unaware of any such rule. If it’s because you think I MAKE THREATS OF VIOLENCE. NO! Yea, I get pissed off sometimes. But it comes from PEOPLE THREATENING ME OR CALLING ME INAPPROPRIATE NAMES. BUT I’M NOT PLANNING ANY VIOLENCE. I’M A CHRISTIAN WHO BELIEVES IN THE PEACEFUL ROAD FIRST. VIOLENCE WOULD NEVER BE USED EXCEPT IN SELF DEFENSE AS A LAST RESORT!
Don’t like my politics or opinions? Okay well maybe I wouldn’t like yours either! And I certainly don’t like when people make threats here saying people should be lined up and shot!!! I ONLY REMIND SUCH MISGUIDED PEOPLE. THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA. BECAUSE ITS UN-AMERICAN & WORSE. GUNS TEND TO SHOOT BOTH WAYS! Hasn’t there been enough violence???
Now the same democrats that refused to acknowledge the extreme violence and terrorism that BLM & ANTIFA perpetrated on America. Beating up old ladies on walkers because they were white republicans. Forcing young white girls to bow on camera and repent of their white skin privilege. Whatever that is??? And worse 5 black males beating 1 little white woman who simply asked them not to destroy her business and home. They held her and beat her! Then that wasn’t good enough for THOSE COWARDS! Then they beat her with a board. This is not hearsay. ITS ALL ON CAMERA!!! They happily allowed themselves to be filmed and then put on the internet!!! These same types burned police station’s to the ground and businesses to. After they looted them until nothing was left to steal!!! When Trump offered to send the national guard to help STOP THE VIOLENCE. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS OBJECTED!!! When these violent mobs WITH MACHINE GUNS took over entire blocks declaring them POLICE FREE ZONES! Again the democrats wouldn’t lift a finger to prevent any of it!!! THEY INSTEAD CALLED IT. THE SUMMER OF LOVE!!!!!
People were beaten and robbed and even murdered. So the summer of love could exist!!! Then they named their new nation CHAZ!!! Police ran and were not even allowed to defend themselves or citizens. Out of fear they would be the next to be imprisoned for doing their job!!! Yes, the police that arrested George Floyd went too far!!! They should be in prison. But others only defended themselves and were prevented from doing their job! They ended up in jail. Now back to hero George Floyd for a minute. HE BROKE THE LAW! He fought the law and lost!!! He was a career criminal that held a weapon to a pregnant woman’s stomach along with a few pals. George Floyd had a condition cops didn’t know about. HE DID NOT DIE OF STRANGULATION!!! HE DIED OF A BODILY CONDITION THAT CAUSED HIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO BREATHE!!!! Still police are now in prison. Seems like that would be enough!!! The new American poster child for civil rights is not Dr Martin Luther king Jr. Now it’s a violent career criminal who fought police and dyed of his own conditions. That helped to start the downfall of America!!! Everyone wanted that cop in jail including me! But charging him with a murder he did not commit. Would be no different that charging you or anyone of a crime you are innocent of!!! As long as it’s the popular thing to do!!!! It’s not right!!!
But now these same democrats. Whether or not they stole the election. They are in office however it happened. It sure doesn’t seem very popular with the country. Every where I go or look. I see people and hear people who are pissed off about the election results. They even came out and said. 70 or 80 % of all white men voted for Trump! This is democrats saying this. I wonder who their wives or girlfriends. Mothers or sister’s voted for? Stands to reason it would be the same Xs 2 or 3 and possibly 5 or 6!!! Depending on family size. Then when you consider the actual numbers of WHITE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES. IT SURE SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP LOST IF THAT WAS THE CASE!!! ACCORDING TO DEMOCRATS IT WAS AND IS THE CORRECT NUMBERS. The democrats also came out and admitted that Trump won the military by exactly the same percentage around 80%!!!
I happen to know for a fact. The black vote was nearly split even this time around! I guarantee that Trump easily got 35% of the black vote. Nation wide I don’t know. But here in Georgia it would have been between 35 & 45% EASILY!!! If not more!!! They even brought a panel of black voters on television. They were soooooooo sure they hated Trump. They wanted to use them as proof black people hated Trump. A HUGE MAJORITY APPROVED OF TRUMP AND THEY BASICALLY GOT MAD AND SHUT THEM DOWN!!!
Okay then there is the Mexican vote. And Asian vote! Remember these are extreme minorities! Most of the business owners and legal citizens that were polled also approved of Trump after seeing their businesses burned and looted. Remember I said the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!! They did not and do not approve of illegal immigrants for the most part. Because they were forced threw a long expensive process to come here legally!!! They want the others to have to do the same!!! These are largely criminals running from Mexican authorities. As well as people who come here and work illegally and send money back to Mexico where they can live like kings when they return. Our money is worth a lot over there! But Mexico is no longer the poor country it once was. Sure there are slums just like here. But their malls put ours to shame in both size and beauty!!! Same goes for many other places and things. But. If the roles were reversed. They wouldn’t let you come work and pay ZERO TAXES and bring the money back to the U.S. while taking jobs away from their people!!!! So why should we? NOBODY IS OPPOSED TO LEGAL IMMIGRATION! ONLY ILLEGAL!!!! I know I know. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TOOK THIS COUNTRY AWAY FROM THE INDIANS RIGHT???? Only partially true!!! Immigrants won it in battle after attempting to live in peace. Yet that is the same way ALL COUNTRIES WERE BORN!!!! If it wasn’t the settlers it would have been somebody else!!! Other Indian tribes were attacking peace loving tribes anyway!!!!
NOBODY IS MORE QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT THIS! BECAUSE I HAVE INDIAN BLOOD IN MY VEINS!!!! My grandfather on one side was over half Indian. His father was full blooded Indian. His father was a chief!!! On the other side of my family. I had exactly the same!!! I am Native American and European mixed! I’m both and therefore can speak for both!!!!
And all I want to say to the democrats. STOP ALL THIS POSTURING!!! Before you start something that can’t be stopped. If you do those armed guards won’t come close to being able to protect you. IS THAT A THREAT? NO! I’M TRYING TO STOP VIOLENCE NOT START IT!!! I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU BUT I LOVE AMERICA AND I WANT THIS TO STOP!!! I don’t trust BLM or ANTIFA to stay quiet or be peaceful.
So I’m calling on you democrats to be just as vigilant at jailing them as you are republicans!!!! HYPOCRISY IS HYPOCRISY AND YOU ARE BEING HYPOCRITICAL!!!! The only way to heal this nation. Is to either GIVE UP YOUR WITCH HUNT AGAINST THE CAPITAL PROTEST. OR GO FIND AND ROUND UP ANTIFA & BLM CRIMINALS TO!!!
PS. If republicans see that. I believe the country could heal. You do not owe BLM or ANTIFA anything!!!! You owe America everything!!! All of us!!! Republicans and democrats!!! Impeachment of Trump again will only divide!!! Trying to prevent him from ever running won’t prevent his children or family!!! Why are you so afraid of him running??? Possibly because you know who won this time around???? If Americans hate Trump like you do. You have nothing to worry about. Just a thought…
NOW EVERYONE PLEASE STOP THE VIOLENCE WHILE IT CAN BE STOPPED.
Negan
LOL.
When you look at Kirby’s performance against top-25 and top-10 teams this lazy and idiotic argument is completely undone.
Especially in comparison to Richt or someone the media loves, the always overrated Sideshow Dan the Clown.
#lesswithmore, hillbilly!
The hillbillies are all up there in Ten-uh-seeeee. Idiot.
I’ll take “who is a 2nd grader for $500”, Alex. Calm down salty pants. He calls us hillbillies all the time. No reason we can’t call him the same.
Well UTK is called Hillbilly High, somebody on the Knoxville radio station (a UTK fan) called them that last week.
Good for them.
Calm down there corch. Its the off season. You know they have nothing better to do at SDS than write clik bait stories to cause the blood pressure to rise.
You are correct. I just like to give the crybaby, aka kirby’s biat*h, aka corch, something to to reply to. He gets lonely in his “holler”. Only one team can win it all. I’d take top 5 season anytime.
whilst I must agree with you about the off season habits of SDS writing click bait stories, they didn’t actually spawn this particular discussion, rather they just put reasons why people should agree with Boogar… Exactly what had KS done that makes one feel he’s done more than MR? It’s not SECC’s. MR out performed him so far with lower ranked recruiting classes… I have to admit, even being an LSU fan, I too expected more from Smart by now.
Explain how Richt outperformed Smart.
Smart has a better winning percentage against top-25 and top-10 teams.
Smart has more NY6 bowl wins in 5 years than Richt had in 15 years.
Smart recruits better.
Smart has more top-10 finishes.
Smart beats his rivals, especially Floriduh, better than Richt did.
So please, tell me how Richt “outperformed” Kirby.
Oh, and unlike Richt’s first five years, Kirby has Saban’s Death Star to deal with no matter what, and the last two years came up against the “best team in CFB history” that NO ONE ELSE BEAT.
So again… provide PROOF that Booger is right and not completely full of crap.
actually MR & KS have the same record against saban, take away sabans first season where MR has the win… But for comparisons sake, we’ll say that year didn’t count.
The point of Boogars statement, which you seem to unknowingly prove with your above ‘stats’, is, KS has ranked in the top 3 recruiting classes each year while MR never ranked better than 7 in his first 5 years, yet MR put up better results. Hense, KS did less with more…
Well if you’re happy with this distinctions vs. differences then that’s what matters.
PoFoke, Mark Richt’s first 5 years at UGA were his best. It was all down hill from there. I guarantee you that won’t happen with Kirby. As far as the recruiting classes, Kirby and his staff work their a$$ off for those. It wasn’t like they were handed to him. He’s accomplished more than just about any head coach in his first 5 seasons as a head coach. By the way, enjoy your next few years with Coach O while they find a way to fire him with cause so they don’t have to pay the ridiculous buyout.
Less with more. Where did I hear that before?
So Po, you provide no actual proof, as I did.
Just more bullcrap.
He actually did but you don’t want to listen. What a shocker.
dawglb
ok, so MR’s first 5 were his best and it went south for him after.. What’s your point? The conversation has to do with “so far” not “what’s to come”…
But how can you guarantee the same wont happen with kirby. Nothing in the comments here that I’ve seen, you excepted, have anyone predicted what will happen in the future… And nobody here has said that kirby’s recruiting classes were handed to him, have they? As far as accomplishments go, SO FAR he’s won 1 SECCg, MR won 2 in his first 5… MR was 1-4 against Saban, as stated above, lets say that 1st win didn’t count if it makes you feel better… KR is now 0-4 against Saban. In that regard, I guess you could make the case that KS has done the same with more?
The comparison at hand is between KS & MR, not KS and EO, who BTW won 1 SECCg (against ga) and a Natty.. And yes, he has the honorable distinction of putting up the worst defense of any NC… But none of that is what this discussion is about, are you that insecure that you felt you needed to stray from the subject and drag it in?
Who, except you, knows the future here, maybe KS will do better in the future, maybe he won’t.. Maybe Coach O will, maybe he wont but I won’t try to guarantee the future of either… I haven’t counted, but I believe I’ve seen as much if not more hot seat discussion about KS than I have EO. So maybe we can pick this up on one of those..
Corch your “proof” isn’t the bulletproof argument you think it is. Starting with the format change to playoffs and NY6 bowl wins. Richt would have had more opportunities for NY6 bowls under the current system. UGA may have made NY6 bowls in 02,03 and 04 looking at the first 5 years.
4 top 10 finishes in his first 5 years. Thats the same as Smart. Also Richt took over a worse team in a deeper division.
Well PoFoke as I said Kirby is in his 5th year as a head coach and he’s only 45 or so. He lives, eats and breathes Georgia football. He loves it. How many head coaches have accomplished as much as he has at this point in his career? You didn’t address that did you. Very few. Mark Richt never had the fire that Kirby has. Not even close. Kirby will grow and become a better head coach. Eventually his fire and determination will pay off in multiple Natty’s. I guaran-fing-tee it. Coach O is on his way out. When the NCAA discovers the program was covering up sexual offenses, it’s going to be Baylor 2.0.
Actually Kirby won the first round of his first CFP, that in itself is accomplishing more than Richt ever did at UGa…as a 1 loss SEC Champ in year under Richt that first round win would have been enough for a natty…so the fact is the fact, Kirby has accomplished more with more…enjoy another booger, booger
^in any year under Richt^
dawglb
I’m impressed…. ◔̯◔ you’re obviously the smartest most physic FB muhfuh I’ve ever run across….
How many times do I have to address what he’s done at this point? Other than recruiting class, what extraordinary feats has he really accomplished in 5 years? OK, thanks to your bud corch, he’s had more NY6 bowls and more top 10 seasons than his predecessor who averaged 8th ranked recruiting classes… whoopie.. He has 1 SECC… You would think with a 2.6 average recruiting class rank over 5 years he’d have more than that. Maybe if he were better at assessing his QB talent he might have another SECC and maybe, just maybe another Natty? Why you so messed up over the fact that others have done as much or more with less?
PoFoke,
The discussion aside, let’s clear up some incorrect records you keep posting. richt was 1-2 against saban in his first 5 seasons, while smart is 0-3. Not sure where you’re coming up with your records, but they’re wrong.
richt was a great replacement to donnan. donnan had been fired with a .678 winning percentage at uga. a lot of media and opposing fans questioned the termination at the time at face value, but there was clearly something missing. richt came in and proved that there was something wrong and that someone else could do better, as he finished with a .812 winning %. richt was universally beloved by dawg nation. he’s always been admired by the majority and deservedly so in how he ran a clean program. i personally think he ran the program cleaner than 99% of the programs who perennially finished in the top 25 throughout his tenure. that’s of course a statement up for debate, but that’s my opinion and i’m sharing for reference to my next comments.
when richt was let go, it was time. i thought it was time the previous year and i was surprised when they did it after the ’15 season. yes, richt finished 9-3 that year, which on paper is a great record, but after a closer look at that record and season, you’ll note that uga didn’t even finish the season ranked. a blue-blood program with a 9-3 record not finishing ranked is all you really need to know in that some records…..are not exactly what they are…on the surface.
smart has had uga positioned for the playoffs in 3 of 5 seasons up until the final reg season game, of which is the sec champ. win that game and uga was in the playoffs. richt was not in that company. if we had been in a playoff situation during richt’s first five yrs, he would of only had uga in playoff consideration in 1 of 5 seasons.
i could go on and further dissect the the two coaches first 5 seasons, but above is the exclamation point. i’ll take having an opportunity of a playoff bid 60% of the time vs 20% of the time and the couple extra victories that richt had every time!
@PoFoke……..If you call losing to Florida, Tennessee and even SC fairly regularly. Yea then Richt did more. People are either STUPID OR FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE POINT CORCH MADE AND THAT I’M MAKING.
BETTER RESULTS YOU SAY? First of all that is BS! Kirby went all the way to the national championship and WON IT! In 2017 yet it was STOLEN by REFS!!! PERIOD!!!!
Kirby won the east 3 straight times! Won the SEC once! Yet Richt never had Alabama in his way in the first 5 seasons!!! Nor a HISTORICALLY GREAT LSU AND ALABAMA!!! But let’s continue. Kirby also won a playoff game against RAPE ARTIST OU!!
What OU just did to Florida was RAPE!!! Yet that team can’t compare to the one UGA beat with Kirby! Again if it were called right on just one play. UGA are the national champions and there were tons of bad calls and no calls in that ripoff game!!!
If the whole team nearly didn’t get injured right before the Florida game. UGA would have AGAIN won the east. Would have made 4 straight!!! NOBODY EVER WON 4 STRAIGHT SEC EAST TITLES! Not Spurrier or Urban Meyer. Not Richt or anybody ever!!! But without the injuries. UGA wins 4 straight!!!
THE BEST PART IS. KIRBY HAS DOMINATED ALL OF OUR TRUE RIVALS IN THE EAST!!! He dominated them as well as this. He put them in the poor house!!! Those were RICH programs before Kirby came in. And in his first few seasons. I think the first 3 or 4! He recruited more 4 star & 5 star blue chip recruits. Than the entire SEC EAST COMBINED!!! That is part of a head coaches job. Recruiting! That is part of his PERFORMANCE! No he hasn’t done less with more!
HE HAS DONE MORE AND BROUGHT IN MORE!!! BOOGER is just trying to get recruits to listen to his big fat mouth!!! Besides Richt wasn’t fired because of how he performed his first 5 years!!! It was later on. Richt had Mathew Stafford and running back N Moreno. In case you forgot he had AJ Green! I mean Richt had some very talented teams. Aaron Murray and Todd Gurley. Keith Marshall and Nick Chubb and Sony Michelle!!! Jarvis Jones and Leonard Floyd and John Jenkins. I could go on and on!!! Yet every time Florida week rolled around I thought to myself. OH NO!!! I wonder how Richt will lose this time?
Plus one of Richts teams had Gurley, Marshall, Sony and Chubb all on the field. With SEC record setting QB Aaron Murray. Some pretty darn good WRS AND TEs to! And a all-star defensive lineup! AND A CHANCE TO GO TO A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Yet Under Richt they allowed SOUTH CAROLINA to just destroy UGA!!! I don’t remember scoring a TD!!! I can’t remember the exact score. Something like 31-0 or 31-3 or possibly 37-7!!! But it was just terrible!!!! They let basically 1 player beat them all night. That was Clowny!!! I’m not talking about Mullen either!!!! Yea the SC offense scored against an underachieving defense!!! Spurrier was there coach that night. No Kirby wouldn’t have lost that game! Not with all that talent. But Richt sure did!!!! Him and coach Bobo didn’t have a clue what to do!!! Clowny was good. But no way he dominates a Kirby Smart line like he did Right’s!!!!
PS. So provide proof before you talk. Because I’m not listening to more talk or caring about drivel written on a board by non Georgia fans or Mark Richt fans!!! NO FACTS TO PROVE WHAT BOOGER SAID!!! ALL JUST TALK!!!

In Kirby’s first five years he’s faced historically good Bama and LSU teams and is competing in the same space as Saban’s deathstar of a dynasty. Richt comparatively did not face that same level of competition in his first five years.
Smart is a win the games he should win coach but not a win the games where the favorite is up for grabs. That could change. Mullen is a win games he might not be favored in coach but also a loose games he might be favored in. Drinkwitz is a get more out of his players than most other coaches could. Stoops is a keep the score low and upset higher ranked teams coach. Pruitt is a I’m not sure yet coach. Mason was a play way over his team’s head and sometime way under coach. Muschamp was a win more games than he should every year coach. and that the SEC East that was up till 2020. Tune in this year for more coaching generalizations.
What you say about Sideshow Dan isn’t true at all.
He actually ONLY wins the games he’s supposed to win.
Look at his record vs. top-25, top-10, and against the SEC. It’s abysmal.
If Cousin Eddie actually was this media-created myth, his records in those three categories would be much better.
Sideshow Dan is not Bill Snyder, who actually did take undermanned KSU teams and routinely beat better teams.
At Mississippi State, MuLLLen’s biggest win was against an LSU team that wound up finishing outside the top-25 by the end of the year.
It amazing how all the lies you people believe about Kirby and Cousin Eddie are literally the exact opposite of what reality is.
“What you say about Sideshow Dan isn’t true at all.
He actually ONLY wins the games he’s supposed to win.”
So using that same logic, has Kirby won a game he wasn’t favored in?
Has Saban won a game he wasn’t favored in? Seriously. I’m sure there haven’t been many he wasn’t favored in. What’s his record? I know he wasn’t favored against LSU last year and he lost that one.
Auburn SEC Title Game and Rose Bowl are the first two that come to mind.
There have been more.
@BamaTime…..2017 Auburn that mopped up #1 UGA and #1 ALABAMA BACK TO BACK WAS FAVORED OVER UGA! IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!! UGA Avenged their only loss 28-7!!! Auburn was favored. Kirby & UGA beat them!
The year before that in 2016. Auburn was HIGHLY RANKED IN THE TOP 5!!!! I think UGA was unranked at that time or nowhere near the top 10 and auburn was favored. Again UGA upsets auburn!!! Ill bet there are some more to!
Kirby always has UGA ranked so high these days. We are hardly ever the underdog anymore!!! I doubt Saban has ever been the underdog after 2008!!! But I just quoted 2 games that Kirby won when he wasn’t favored!!! I bet there have been more in his short time coaching as a head coach.
Anyone who follows UGA. Knows that UGA almost always beats their east rivals! And many from the west. Including Kirby Smart’s unofficial national championship in 2017!!! Mark Richt was known for blowing big games we should have won. Against Florida, Tennessee and you name them! We had the better team many times. Yet Richt would find a way to lose!!! It’s not that way anymore!!! Counting on Jaime Newman instead of getting the best QB ready. That was why we lost the east!!! Even though 70% of our STARTING DEFENSE DIDN’T PLAY AGAINST FLORIDA!!! 40% of the offense missed that game to! NOT INCLUDING JT DANIELS!!!!
Yea I know Alabama was great this year. But look at the actual number of points we lost by! Then think of all the wide receivers running wide open all night. That Stetson Bennett simply overthrew or didn’t get it passed the line of scrimmage!!! IN 2 GAMES. I SAW THE SAME D LINEMEN THAT BATTED THE BALL IN THE AIR ALSO INTERCEPTED IT!!! THOSE TWO WERE FLORIDA AND ALABAMA!!! Neither defense was elite!!! Yet both toyed with Stetson Bennett like they were playing with baby brother on the front lawn!!! He is NOT as tall as listed!!! He is tiny!!!! And even worse. He throws an extremely low ball!!! Tall D linemen will always eat his lunch and steal his lunch money!!! Everyone on here knows. UGA BECAME A DIFFERENT TEAM WITH JT DANIELS!!! Even our running game picked up. Because teams could no longer just stack the box and key on the run!!! The pass became a legit danger to any defense!!!
For as good as he was with very little time with the starters. He was out of this world!!! How many take over a year off rehabbing a knee. Then the first game back from injury. With no run game support. Goes out and throws for 400+ yards and 4 TDS against an SEC defense. How many do that??????
PS. I guarantee you. Not many!!! The ones who do. They are the elite of the elite QBs!!!

Muschamp was a win more games than he should every year coach? How did you arrive at that conclusion? Are you referring to just his time at SC or are you including UF?
Part of a college football head coach’s is recruiting. Some would say a large part of it. Big time recruits don’t always pan out, it’s not a perfect science. But the more quality players you recruit, the odds work in your favor that you’ll be better off than those who don’t recruit well.
In P5 football, there’s not as much of a talent gap if you just line up starters v starters. If the stars align on the field, teams you wouldn’t expect end up being pretty good. Injuries also play into the equation.
The reality is Kirby runs a top 5 program in his tenure as HC (as a first time HC). He’s the sixth highest paid HC in college football.
Kirby has had 3 OC’s in his tenure and just found a competent one. What’s interesting is Richt actually seemed to have the opposite problem, he had Van Gorder for 4 years and when left the defense never felt the same. We’ll see how long Monken sticks around but I think he gives Kirby a chance that the other OC’s were never going to give him.
Only a matter of time before Georgia fans grow weary of not winning the SEC
^^^^
Only a matter of time until Auburn’s latest head coach gets fired and run out of town.
And by the way, when is the last time Auburn won the SEC? I think my son was in kindergarten then.
And let’s be real. Auburn has zero hope of winning the SEC in the next 5 years.
2013.
Have you or your son seen a uga NC win?
I get talking smack. It’s what makes it fun.. but uga has won 3 total sec championships. Same amount as Auburn. Only one sense 2006. Let’s not get carried away..
wde0012,
UGA has won the SEC 14 times. But I guess you’re talking about the SEC since they instituted the SECCG. I’m a bit older. I remember listening to Dawg games on the radio every Saturday growing up because the games were rarely on TV back then. Also I was a student at UGA when they won the NC in 1980 with Herschel the GOAT. So yes I have seen UGA win an NC.
Yeah I since 1992. And you were a student in 1980 and had a kindergartner in 2013? I call BS..
No my son was in kindergarten way before 2013.
That’s what I figured..
UGA has won the SEC 13 times not 14..
Those who lived that period will recall that Mark Richt was widely considered a super-hot commodity during his first half dozen years with UGA. What is forgotten is that Richt’s coaching passion began to deteriorate after his wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and he really was never the same coach again. Being compared to CMR’s first half dozen years at UGA, though, is a challenge very few coaches can match.
And, of course, having the GOAT standing in your way does count for something. In fact, it counts for a lot. If not for Saban, Kirby would already have one natty and possibly two. Richt would also likely have one – his squad would have demolished Notre Dame in 2012 just like Bama did.
Spot on Booger. Thank you. The hype is unreal every year.
I don’t really agree with this narrative. He’s won the East 3 times and played for a national title once. Almost every season has ended with a loss to Bama. How’s that working out for everyone else? Yeah, that’s what I thought… I do believe his time will come.
As much crap as people gave Malzahn, he beat him 3 times. Don’t see why Kirby can’t do the same with all that talent in Athens..
richt was 2-1 against malzahn. the ’14 game was a bad loss for malzahn….not so much in losing to a lower ranked uga team, but the fashion in which they lost.
as you know, smart is 5-1. we’ll see what the future holds, but i’d say smart’s trajectory is higher against aub in comparison to richt’s first five years and in his match ups against malzahn
Absolutely nothing close to what I was referring but go off..
jeez, relax. after reading a 2nd time, i see you’re referring to malzahn’s wins against saban and not richt’s against malzahn.
great, he had 3 wins against saban. who’s trashing that? what was his record against his other rivals?
smart has had 3 games against saban. 3 competitive games. 3 games in which uga had the lead heading into the 2nd half. it’s not like the games aren’t close.
No one is trashing that. No one mentioned records against other rivals either.
Competitive or not, Smart also lost all three of those.
Either you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided everything will offend you or you need to read it a third time.
I’m simply saying with all the talent Smart has he should be able to beat Saban. Malzahn did with much lesser talent.
When you play at JHS, you have to battle the voodoo magic. Hopefully Gus took that with him.
“smart has had 3 games against saban. 3 competitive games. 3 games in which uga had the lead heading into the 2nd half. it’s not like the games aren’t close.”
So 41-24 is now a close game?
Anyone here remember 2nd down and 26 yards ? Tua throws to Devonta Smith=Touchdown=National Championship ! Roll Tide !
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Never happened. Lol.
“Less with more…” I think that tells the tale of just about all that SEC Blue Bloods with the exception of Alabama, this past season.
While not blue bloods, us definitely included. We didn’t develop like we should have with Muschamp.
I can’t take anyone called Booger seriously
Anthony’s bringing some truth and seems to have struck a nerve.
He won a lot of games. He’d likely still be there had more of them been against the Gators.
You can look at the records alone and make this argument I guess, but anyone that actually watched those games under both coaches know there is more to the story.
But at the end of the day, it was his inability to consistently beat the Gators even in years where he had the talent advantage and the east was down that made Georgia fans nuts.
