#1 Pushing the Mississippi State player.

#2 Calling a student athlete an idiot during a press conference.

#3 His frustration should be directed at students who get arrested or whom fail their classes, not at a kid having a little fun after the game.

Anyone who's ever been in charge of subordinates knows that's unprofessional on many levels. There's a different and better way to handle it.

At the end of the day, football is a game and these are student athletes, kids barely out of high school. Lighten up.

Kirby Smart should act like the adult in the room.

Great coach. But he’s no Saban.

He’s suffering under all that stress. Saban was always professional and classy, he made it look easy even though he had to please one of the hungriest and most demanding CFB fanbases. Despite all that, Saban always kept his cool and maintained his physical fitness, something Smart needs to start doing…

Kirby is great. But Saban was the King

Smart is a mini replica of Saban in near every way. This era of football started getting beyond Saban's style and Smarts brand is nearly identical. I wonder if Smart won't meet the same fate as Saban.

Kirby got to hide in the East all those years.

I’m sure he’s really upset that you feel that way

Except disparaging players after a loss for being excited about about seeing friends while saying nothing about his QB smiling and laughing on the sideline after he played like shite

That was that Colt McCoy and Vince Young moment after the "If only Colt didn't get hurt" moment.

Your deep concern is noted. I'll bring this up at the next UGA Alumni Platinum Premium Members-Only meeting.

I despise UGA but have a great deal of respect for what Kirby instilled in the program. They have been killers since he got there and if not for Saban owning real estate in Kirby’s head, they most likely would’ve 3-Peated last season and people would be putting Kirby in top 5 coaches ever.

All that being said, a glaring issue is their lack of explosive offenses without Monken. Which is 6 of Kirby’s 9 seasons. Saban went from ground and pound and no tolerance defenses to prolific offenses in an almost seamless transition starting in 2015. The 2019 Bama squad had more offensive playmakers than Georgia has probably had combined in Kirby’s entire tenure. And it’s starting to catch up to them on the recruiting trail.

If Kirby doesn’t get radically different with his offensive coaches and philosophy they will not touch the unprecedented success they had the last 3 years again.

Saban did it twice.

Neither will be doing it again.

Both just had 1-2 tough games and weeks in between to get ready.

Saban bailed. This is a new game with new pressures. Maybe Smart is breaking in this environment. But Saban said frick it and left.

What's "radically different" in the philosophy this year?
The results and playmakers obviously aren't the same but I don't see much difference in the philosophy from last year other than relying heavily on the passing game.
