Link: Coach Smart to UGA

Now you are thinking like a UGA fan.
They were 14-21 against ranked teams since 2008. That's why he was fired.
I agree, the timing was right and they got all their ducks in a row before they pulled the pin. I think most UGA fans are happy with the move.
Thing is, and this is mere conjecture, but I don't think that happens if they win in 2012. Changes everything.Now you are thinking like a UGA fan.
Well, I just think teams should show some respect that other team's seasons are not over yet. UGA would not be happy if they were in our shoes with a playoff berth right around the corner, maybe one day they'll get to experience what the playoffs feel like.
I think the NCAA will have to do something one day, it may be many many years from now but, they will eventually. As this playoff grows bigger and expands (like we all know it will) teams will be playing more games in late December and early January. It's not fair to those teams, that just because they are having success, their coaching staffs get picked apart by lesser teams right before a playoff run. The NCAA will need to create guidelines or rules that prohibit the hiring of coaches whose season has not ended. Similar to the NFL, you don't see DC and OC abandoning NFL teams right before the playoffs and it shouldn't happen in college either.
Don't give me the recruiting excuse either, your commitment and obligation to your current teams has to count for something. If you fire your coach, sorry but, recruiting will take a hit that year and the new guy will get started in mid January. That should just be part of the territory of firing a coach. It's just not fair to any of the playoff teams that have worked so hard to get to this moment and then have their coaching staff picked apart by vultures who demand that you skip town before the most important games of the season.

When it comes to that dreaded concept of "class", Georgia is no better than the worst. They aren't a historically great program. They are very similar to Auburn in that regard.
I hate it that Smart is going there for many reasons, chief among them that I'll pull against him almost always. They are a low rent program. Maybe he can change all of that. But I doubt it. These things run deep in the DNA of a program.
TIFWIW, but it looks like Kirby is solid through the bowl game/playoffs.

Would hate to lose Tosh but I'm pretty confident we won't invite Lance Thompson back...and our OLBs have pretty much been great whenever that schmuck isn't around.
