re: What Smart has to do to be successful @ Georgia

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.
