Kirby's program feels like it is on the verge of tanking. What Pope did makes Malachi Moore's action admiral. At least Moore was ticked off at the outcome and not celebrating WITH Vandy.

It doesn't sound like he was celebrating the outcome. People don't know anything and will reach their own conclusions and I don't think it's his responsibility to shun old friends for the sake of appearance.
Kirby called what he was doing "stupid"....publicly. So it didn't pass the smell test of his coach and Kirby's driving record for tolerance of anything is pretty loose. Horrible look nonetheless
It's like he said, he was happy for a former high school teammate and maybe he shouldn't have but it is what it is, now Kirby calling him a idiot in public is very wrong but no one is talking about that
He was just happy to be on the field…
Glad he is with them and not us. I’ll take Bray Hubbard all day! RTR

Did Kirby read this before or after he called him an idiot? LOL!
Kirby Smart Calls Georgia Player ‘an Idiot’ for Celebrating With Ole Miss Fans After Loss
The Bulldogs coach didn't hold back.

Not a great look, but calling a player an idiot seems a bit too much. Didn't Kirby shove an opposing player on the sidelines not long ago? That was more of an idiot move to me.
Kirby's reaction is a horrible look
Not a good look, but he's a kid caught in the moment with friends (maybe close friends) jumping around. He didn't have to jump around, for sure, but it's not that big of a deal - it was likely a split second thing, followed by a hug and then running off the field. Our culture is just so hyper sensitive about things that don't matter.
And I'd disagree with the above. Moore's behavior was way more concerning to me because it involved ignoring a coach, during the game.
Kirby calling him an idiot in public is just terrible leadership.

I saw the clip. Kirby shouldn't have (publicly) called him an idiot, but I understand why he was PO'd. UGA just got shellacked by Ole Miss and a retread defensive coordinator, and the kid was jumping up and down smiling and laughing like he'd just won the bonus round on Wheel of Fortune.
Especially considering it's far harsher than he's reacted to any of the many players arrested for reckless driving.
LOL I find this entire situation hilarious and wonderful. Kirby made it so much worse lol
We already know Kirby didn't have much grip on his program, but this story "feels" like he's losing whatever grip he did have. So much for UGA "taking hold" of the college football world. *Looking at you David Pollack*.
I'm not saying Kirby is going to move on anytime soon. But there has long been a rumor that he doesn't plan on being Nick Saban and coaching into his 70s. I know he isn't even 50 and maybe UGA comes back the rest of the season angry or next season they play with a big chip on their shoulder. But if they lose to Tennessee and then have another disappointing season next year I just would start to wonder...
I never thought they were about to go on a "Nick Saban/Alabama" 16 year dynasty run. They had their 15 minutes of fame and appears to me they have come back down to earth. Isn't that your thoughts @92tide? They've returned to the mean?
