Legendary former UGA Head Coach Vince Dooley joined Dukes & Bell for his weekly appearance on the show and talked about what Kirby has built at UGA and why he could be an all-time great among coaches in College Football.
When asked about the program that Kirby has built during his time at UGA.
“I said early on after I saw he recruited every year, either it’s first or third or fourth, and if you do that every year consistently than consistently you’re going to be at the top battling for a championship,” Dooley said. “That is what Saban did and has done at Alabama and Kirby was a big part of that. Naturally he took what he thought was the best of Saban and there’s a lot of best and his own philosophy. But every year we’ve been in the first, second, third, or fourth in recruiting and once he’s gotten to that point it’s been consistently great every year, so you got a chance every year.”
Dooley talked about where he thinks Kirby will rank among coaches in the sport.
“So that’s why I think over the long haul Kirby not only will be Georgia’s greatest coach but I think that he will be one of the really great coaches in college football.”
