Kirby is by far the better CEO, he already has at least three coaches who were his assistants at one point or another as Head Coaches. How many does Mullen have?
A good CEO hires dudes that are smarter and can challenge them to make the organization better? Smart does that... I don't think he is a great coach, but he is a better CEO than we have seen since 2010.
He has under performed due to talent without a doubt. I fully expect him to schit the bed either in the SEC Championship game or the playoffs (hopefully both). Because I'll laugh my ass off, because fuch Georgia.
