UF and UT will rise again, and the West has a few programs that will ultimately have a say in whether or not UGA can win a championship that are pretty good as well. In short, Kirby is a good recruiter (always has been), but he's going to have to prove he can get it done in crunch time AND sustain over a long period of time. It's one thing to build a winner, it's another thing be a winner consistently.
I figured the OP didn't mean Kirby would turn UGA into a dynasty? Smart isn't passing Saban. Saban recruits where he wants in states with greater programs and coaches looming over them than Georgia/Smart. You're right, the state of Georgia is loaded with talent, but BAMA, AU, UT, UF, FSU, etc have always pulled talent from there and always will. Too much talent there for UGA to hog it all, and there are way too many recruiting relationships and too many inroads have been established for way too long for them to just go away because an unproven head coach said so.
UGA and Smart have a LOT of work to do.
