In his first year as Head Coach Kirby Smart lost to Vanderbilt, got blown out by a 5-7 Ole Miss, beat a 4-8 Missouri by 1 point, narrowly defeated a very mediocre Kentucky by 3, and beat FCS Nicholls State by 2 points.
His former boss Nick Saban, who had already won a National Championship before, lost to UL-Monroe en route to a 4 game losing streak ended by a near loss to a Dan Hawkins coached Colorado in the Independence Bowl.
Year 1 is rough fellas, but trust in the process. The 2 coaches that competed in last years National Championship game all had a rough start.
