re: Kirby Smart Wins SEC Coach of the Year

Kirby didn't really deserve the award. He's a returning National Championship HC with the highly favored team to win another National Championship. Those that should have been really considered for that award is Shane Beamer, Brian Kelly or the guy from UT.

You could be right, but one important thing to consider is that Smart had a record number of players drafted last season and still turned around a perfect regular season, an SEC Championship (in blowout fashion), and a return trip to the playoffs without even going to the transfer portal to rebuild.

That is an unprecedented accomplishment. Look what Coach O. did after his natty and losing his players to the draft.
