About tanking three season and building up the NIL fund for a National Championship run in 2028.
Or getting people to BE donors.Good luck signing a top portal class after you just tanked for 3 years. Or getting donors to continue to donate.
Sheet, we’ve tanked for 3 years now and have nothing to show for it. Where’s this big bag we supposedly had for 26? We can’t even get a damn quality starter at OL or DL. We whiffed on Dyson who just signed with NC State.Good luck signing a top portal class after you just tanked for 3 years. Or getting donors to continue to donate.

What’s really sad is we’re doing a pretty good job of tanking but we’re actually trying to win.Isn't that pretty much what we've done the last 3 seasons, "tanked", and struggling to sign a postal class particularly OL? And struggling to keep donors donating?
I can't disagree with this.We have a fairly significant NIL war chest.
We just don't spend wisely and/or have bad luck with injuries i.e. Steen and Whitson this year.
Kirby has never been a great coach when he guest just out-talent to other team. See his record vs Alabama. And he had the better team in several of those losses. SEC big problem is they’ve gotten away from being a physical league. And yeah, that gets back to coaching & recruiting.We don't have an NIL problem we have a coaching problem. We have the money to get the right people in the right position. Look at the money Tenn and Texas has put into NIL and it took extra time to beat our sorry asses. Think of all the money the SEC team spends on players and the only teams the SEC can beat in the playoff is G5 and other SEC teams. The entire SEC has a coaching problem right now. Even Smart is making rookie mistakes that cost him his playoff game. There is an issue in the SEC. It's not going to change until they get better coaches.
I have to disagree about Kirby, he has had Georgia close to the top every year he has been in Athens. As far as him not beating Bama, Saban may be the Goat.Kirby has never been a great coach when he guest just out-talent to other team. See his record vs Alabama.

Is it tanking when you take UT and UT to OT and beat Florida in a season?Isn't that pretty much what we've done the last 3 seasons, "tanked", and struggling to sign a postal class particularly OL? And struggling to keep donors donating?
We are a long way from being good but we are very close to being respectable. But we’re not far off from being a laughing stock either. Do or die year for Lebby this year.Is it tanking when you take UT and UT to OT and beat Florida in a season?
It isn't something to brag about, but it also isn't tanking.
It's the opposite of tanking, actually. It's trying really hard and almost winning some big games.
We are currently conducting this experiment.Good luck signing a top portal class after you just tanked for 3 years. Or getting donors to continue to donate.
You had to. I don’t fault them spending $$$ on Kromenhauk.We spend a million dollars on a QB we don't play. The problem isn't the amount of cash we have, it's our talent evaluation and acquisition process.
