Kirby Smart, the aftermath

Now that the whole Kirby Smart ordeal is behind us all and we know that for a fact Kirby Smart is not coming to Georgia but will remain at Alabama lets look back.

I will be the first to state that I was totally for us signing Kirby Smart and bringing him back to the Peach State. However, you have to stop and think, would the entire Bulldog Nation have been so adamant to sign to Smart as our DC if he was not a Georgia alumni. Yes, Smart did just win the Broyles Award, but he also was working under Nick Saban who is a defensive guru and had a tremendous amount of talent to work with. Smart is the name of the year and would have helped us get some recruits this year and down the road, but you also have to think if he turned the Georgia defense around in a year or two who is say that we would not lose him to another school for a head coaching position sooner than later.

Personally, I think sticking with Grantham would be a good choice. He has something to prove since he has was terminated from his last coordinator position, but let's also remember that was with the Cleveland Browns and they have stunk for about 10 years now. Grantham also might turn into a great recruiter, he already has NFL contacts and can pitch to all defensive recruits he has coached in the NFL for years and knows what it will take for these young men to make it there.
