Ok

I will believe when the press conference happens. Georgia football is bigger than the falcons in Atlanta and probably can pay as much

plus they alienate a lot of their own fan base with this hire

if he has an nfl itch better jobs open

I'd stay at Georgia. It's not like Kirby is some kind of football genius.

 

[Ksoze8]

Come on Bro. Kirby not going nowhere especially since Nick has retired. He’s the King now.

The king of Athens?? Would be the splash hire blank said he'd make but they don't even draft UGA players..
That press conference was atrocious

 

[MasterBlaster]

Georgia not letting him go without a fight.

 

[mirvin88]

Terrible hire by ATL if they do hire smart

Why would he take the inferior gig?
Also, as someone else noted, UGA football is bigger than the local NFL team.
Why would the latter want to p!ss the former's fans/alums/boosters?

 

[Odysseus]

That would not be a smart hire

 

[cway313]

If every other coach in America retires or quits we may be back!

Im a Falcons fan and i don't hate it but i think I rather Todd Monken being the head coach.

Don’t be stupid.

I hope this is true. I wanna see straight anarchy around college football. With Saban, Kirby and Harbaugh all gone. This would favor OSU and Texas

Coaches don't like college football. He's proved all he needs to.

 

[RickRollU]

Why would Smart go to the NFL? With Saban out, who’s the threat to Smart? He’s gonna be in every playoffs and have a chance to win the NC every year…

Most coaches have sizable egos. They want to know they can do it at the highest level. That’s why so many eventually go to the NFL, just like Saban did, and why Harbaugh probably will eventually. Maybe Smart is one of the rare ones that’s fine right where he is.

Every coach has an astroego. Trust me, Kirby thinks he can coach at any level.

I see what you mean but at the same time, Smart followed Saban for over 10 years waiting for his Alma mater HC job to get open, it’s not like he changed job trying to move up the ladder.
Same as a Brent Venables who patiently waited at Clemson until the OU job opened his way.

The Falcons might be the NFL job to make him jump but looking at his career, he seems to be pretty happy coaching at the college level.
