IMO, Smart is overrated. He is sitting on a recruiting pot of gold. He seems to have no imagination. He's just a placeholder. What's he going to do now that CNS is not around to copy, as well as, welch off of his evaluations?

I wouldn't be surprised if he won little in terms of titles in the foreseeable future. He has 2 SEC titles in 8 years. He was fortunate in both of his NC runs, with enough talent for #2 and #3 combined and coaching vs stodgy Mich, TCU and Ryan shrinking Day. When he walks out of his back door he trips over 3 four stars and 2 five stars, so he has more talent than anyone.

If you can consistently complete a forward pass, you can put up 40+ on his "greatest D of all time".
