it really is an interesting question. As others have said, I don't hate Bobo, but I damn sure hate his play calling most of the time. He relies too much on the belief that guys are going to execute with 100% perfection on every play. Problem is, that's predictable and other teams know it.
I don't recall at any point believing I knew what play Monken had drawn up. To me that's the difference, it was way more entertaining.
For example, we struggled the last 2 times we have been to Lexington, and yet in those games I never had that sinking feeling of we are going to lose this game. I had it last weekend. I had no faith in Bobo figuring out at least 1 or 2 plays to get us into the endzone. And he really didn't. The one TD was a bit of sheer will. And we dodged a couple of bullets an got lucky.
But as for HC, not sure I'd want anyone else in Athens. Kirby, being an Alum, loves the Dawgs and the university. That goes a long way for me as a fan. I have no doubt that he absolutely wants to do what's best for the program, team, and school because he takes pride in it. Not just pride in a "job well done". Not here just to get a paycheck. Anyone else coming in, it would simply be a "good opportunity" for them. For Kirby, it's an opportunity to give back to his alma mater. Which Ironically enough is why I think he will stick with Bobo too long. He wants people around him that care for the university like he does, as he should, but if they ain't getting it done he will have to find someone else.

I think this is very close to exactly how I feel. Great take here.

Believe it or not, this is how I feel too. I don't want any other head coach but Kirby for the exact reasons viper says.
