[Rigby.]

Yeah there's some similarities. He definitely learned from him last year. But Kerryon's vision is unmatched. Can't teach that

IDK whens the next year well have a clean OLine but if you gave boobert even one as half decent as the 2017 one (when healthy), he'll be who we thought he could be after that LSU game

especially if we using one of our DT options at QB next year

So people brought up Harbs/Hoke comparisons a couple of years ago but this Smart/Richt comparison though:

Richt's first three years

2001 UGA: 8-4
2002 UGA: 13-1 (SEC Champs)
2003 UGA: 6-1 start (loss to LSU)

Smart's first three years

2016 UGA: 8-5
2017 UGA: 13-2 (SEC Champs)
2018 UGA: 6-1 start (loss to LSU)

@AVXL prolly had an aneurysm trying to rationalize why this isnt true

Besides the record and them both coaching at UGA what's the comparison here?

Numbers Never Lie

Numbers Never Lie

Because Richt went to the national title game his second year?

Classic Les Miles quote

 

[RammerJammer]

Because Richt went to the national title game his second year?

There was no playoff in 2002

 

[AVXL]

There was no playoff in 2002

Did Richt play for a national title in his second year or nah? You gonna do the comparison go all the way with it

“I visited with [SEC] Commissioner [Greg] Sankey about Raekwon’s actions,” Saban said Monday. “We will handle that internally. We will have him do some things. I think it should affect his playing time in the future.”

That’s like you breaking a law and your parents meeting with the police and telling them, “don’t worry about jail, we”ll punish him when he gets home . SEC headquarters in Birmingham Alabama = Bama getting away with murder as usual.

So are you forgetting the incredibly unfair schedule of 2010?

Y'all lost 3 games that year, Saban wasnt having any of that anymore

There was that one recent year Bama had a though schedule when they played UGA in the road tho
