We all know he is going to have Georgia's defense performing at an elite level,

It may work, it may not work. UGA it's gambling here no other way to say it.
Saban's coaching tree produced JF, and UF’s current coach (who's jury is still out but seems on the way); it also produced total flops like Dooley and WM. Saban is the best in the business, it's not that these guys don't have some merit, but he is the main cog. He's won championships with pretty much completely different staffs at different times.
Ritch had no prior HC experience either so UGA has gone this route before...still again no way to hide the fact this is a gamble.
When you promote a coordinator it can be: Very successful like Fisher, solid like Mark Ritch or it can be a colossal failure like Charlie Weiss.

We don't know that. Saban isn't going with him. Even that side of the ball is an unknown. Head coaches that have never been head coaches can be easily overcome with responsibilities when they try to learn to be a hc yet continue trying to run a defense (or an offense for that matter).

From that perspective, every single aspect of a coaching change is unknown. However, you couldn't possibly be set up any better for success on the defensive side of the ball.
If Pruitt is retained, the defense keeps on rolling. If Muschamp comes to town, I think the defense keeps rolling. It's when you get to option 3 and beyond that I think Smart's inexperience might be a bigger factor on defense.
