the fact that he has always shown immense appreciation for them and their contribution. Both national championships, the very first thanks in his interview after accepting the trophy went out to the fans for showing up and supporting. It's not like he takes for granted the support he gets, but he also will call it out if it's not there. One of the reasons Spurrier left Florida was feeling that his accomplishments were under appreciated. After rolling off four consecutive SEC championships and one national title from 1993-1996, UF only had one SEC title in the next five seasons. Still, they were right in the thick of it every year and if he had the set up we have now, would've been in the playoff every year. But the fans were complaining incessantly. I hope we appreciate what Kirby has done and is still doing. We've never come close to having this kind of sustained success over eight seasons in Georgia football history and we were a top 15 program historically before he arrived. Any time anyone talks about the elite teams in college football, we are mentioned. And we have just as good, if not the best chance to continue to sustain that place in college football with him at the helm.
