Does anyone really think this was "leaked" by someone? It was leaked with Kirby's blessing!
First, who has access to the locker rooms? Do you really think that someone who does not belong in the looker rooms did this? And who had the phone or other recording device? The players are in uniform. Sure, they could have reached into their lockers to pick up their phones, but given what happens at halftime, I doubt it. This was recorded by a member of the staff.
Kirby has the entire Butts-Mehere under his control that I bet the AD doesn't go to the bathroom without Kirby's permission. Kirby Smart is in control and it is clear that nothing happens without his knowledge. If it does, there will be hell to pay.
If this was such a big deal, then why was it released this week? If it was such gold, why not release it after the Florida game? I bet it was held back to troll Dan Mullen. After the outcome of the Saturday's game and everyone on Mullen's case, Kirby, who's no fan of Dapper Dan, allowed its release to pile on Mullen.
There is also a push for recruits and he needs an edge, maybe over Alabama. Maybe over others. It is a call out to recruits that you can go somewhere and play or go somewhere to play and win. Everyone watches a winner and right now the entire college football world is watching Georgia.
Finally, he's sending a message to the alumni and fans. Right now, the Charleston Southern game is not even listed in the sports books and Georgia will be a few dozen points ahead of the North Avenue Trade School. It's a lull before the SEC Championship. It's to keep the Dawg Nation fired up.
Go to Charleston Southern game because it's senior day and we should honor the seniors, especially #JD2NYC. The Dawg Nation needs to make this a great senior day after being denied one last year because of Vandy's garbage.
HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!
As a christian I am against cussing in general although I admit to being weak in moments of extreme stress or anger. That being said, if any parent is offended by their son hearing curse words from a coach, well, they may need to go to BYU or somewhere(I don't know) because Mark Richt isn't coaching any more. And they better not let them join the service.
Cursing or cussing doesn't seem to have hurt Saban any and he can do it with the best of them.
Sadly our culture has been dumbed down. Words that used to make people blush are nothing today. JUst check out the recent tweets about "How bout them F'n dawgs by some of the coaching staff. It's locker room talk. BUt it's becoming more and more our everyday fabric in society.
I've heard Yellowstone is an interesting show, I just can't get past a 12 year old kid calling an adult male a MF. I'm sure many think it's badarse.
Exactly. Agree. There is a time and place for everything. I Really wish this hadn’t been recorded and released to media for them to feed on it. Now Some will say if your skin is that thin we don’t want you at UGA on the football team. Well that’s wrong thinking in my opinion. David Pollock And his parents are devout Christians. I don’t think his parents would’ve been to thrilled to hear this Before the HC came to their home to talk to them about recruiting David. I totally get the firing the players up deal. When I went to Boot Camp profanity was the second language !! But the Key Point is it Should have Stayed in the locker room. I can almost guarantee that media is gonna pound the pulp out of this, and I can almost guarantee that Yes it Will totally turn off some High Quality HS players parents. In particular Mom. Now those parents may never state publicly that that’s why their 5 or 4 star son Did Not come to UGA, so we fans might never know. And the reverse is also true it will probably fire Some recruits to want to come to UGA even more. But I think it may well secretly cost us some recruits to. Moral of the story whoever makes these vids or audio clips IF your associated to the Team/Program or a staunch Dawgs fan, how about please approach Kirby or if it’s any of our other coaches and run your Intentions by them Before you release it to the media and see what they say. Kirby and his wife have twins a boy and girl ages 13 and a 9 yr. old son. I can’t believe he would want Them or anyone else’s kids to hear this. Leaking this to the media did him and UGA a disservice in my opinion.
The proliferation of profanity is a result of the erosion of culture and decency in this country. To me they are just wasted, meaningless words when they are used indiscriminately. Frankly, indiscriminate use of profanity shows a lack of command of the language and a limited vocabulary. I suppose if they were used for emphatic power to drive home a point passionately they have a place. This was a football coach firing up football players in the locker room. The locker room talk should've stayed in the locker room. Should not have been recorded and shameful that it was published as click bait. Bad look for CKS. Every time CKS goes into a recruit's home and sits down with a recruit's mother this audio will follow him.
By the way, video of Dan Mullen's pre-game motivational video has been leaked. Goooooo beeeeeerrrrrrrrrs! 😂
Y'all should hear me when I'm watching the games! I'd make Kirby blush! 🤣🤣
Football is war! And I wouldn't want anybody else leading our warriors into battle, than General Kirby Smart!
I love CKS!!! I would have loved playing for him too!! Woulda loved it cuz I woulda known he was even more passionate about his love for that G , it aint just a job for him. Any yelling he ever did at me I would know it was to make me better not to break me down or hurt me. He really does LOVE the game, Love the G, and Love his players tremendously so! Knowing your Head Coach was just as big a DAWG as you are makes them players love him right back as well!!
I dont want CKS to ever leave UGA, I hope he coaches there for the next 20 years at least!
GO DAWGS!!
I remember the only time I ever cussed in front of my mom and I remember the deep look of hurt in her eyes too!
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I love the English language and profanity is limiting the power of the wonderful language that we have to communicate emotion and power!
Ok...rant over...Kirby got the job done!
Lol I got down voted for my comment. Ouch !! Guess me and family will starve now lol !! Look when I was a much younger lad and especially when I was in the Navy if there was a play offs for talking filthy I’d have been in the top four if not winning the Natty For Nasty !! Back then I thought it was so cool to use such profane language. That is until I was home on leave and got really excited about some thing that had happened and go so carried away telling my little sea story I dropped an F bomb in front of my own Mother, God rest her soul. Though she never said a word I’ll never forget the deep look of hurt on her face. I felt fractions of an inch tall in that moment. Look I’m not trying to judge Kirby or Anyone else. I don’t have that right. I’m merely saying that I think the Team, the Program, and Dawg Nation at large would be Much better served with that sort of stuff Staying in the locker room. Those of you who are Patents, GrandParents, or even GreatGrandParents, how are you gonna feel when your child in say first or second grade walks up and says that and then you in horror ask him/her Where in the world did they hear such dirty stuff ??!!?? And they Proudly say well Coach Kirby Smart was saying it !! Again I’m very glad Kirby fires his players up to WIN !! I just wish people wouldn’t record it then so-called “ leak it” to the media. Then it serves more as negative fodder than positive. And before you say it there are countless players Every Bit as “ Tough” that don’t rely on proficient use of profanity to Be Tough. It doesn’t make you a better tough man. Course it doesn’t necessarily make you less of a tough man either. It’s just there’s a suitable time and place for everything. Airing Kirby’s profanity to national media ain’t one of em.
"I must break you" "Go for it". Not sure who would leak this or why (recruiting?) What happens in the locker room should stay in the locker room. UGA absolutely broke Clemson and FU. And probably Arkansas. The Clemson program is so traumatized the entire team (players and staff) are seeing shrinks. The FU program may not recover for 4 or 5 years. This audio may be playing on a loop in the FU weight room all off season.
I am elated that our HC has so much passion and fire. Kirby and his family love UGA and it shows. I also think there will be no let up after the first NC. I am a little disappointed that someone leaked the tape, but my advice is, if you don’t want to hear locker room talk, don’t listen to it.
Go Dawgs
Why is this considered news? This is also more of the type of article Griffith would write.
Sounds like Florida's players had been talking trash and he was stressing to the players to stay disciplined and that the best way to respond would be kicking their butts. The passion is evident. That team hasn't been the same since. The "Georgia Effect."
I am sure those who have never been in a locker room find Kirby’s “Motivational” speech alarming! But in reality it sounds like every halftime speech of a Big Time Football Game! Really not that shocking! Go Dawgs..
I’m not saying I condone the profanity. But I am confident, Very confident that there are numerous Head Coaches and coaching staff through out college football who use just as bad. So though I don’t really care for the language To Me this is rank sensationalism written to portray Kirby in a negative way regardless of the clever “ twists” employed. I Very Much appreciate Kirby wanting his team to Win, Win, Win !! As long as the Dawgs play legal and Don’t resort to playing dirty football the language used In the locker room should Stay in the locker room. There’s a next door neighbor state to the West of UGA whose HC drops some Terrible profanity and has been seen on TV doing so to many times to count. I think the “leaked” stuff is not necessarily to enhance a positive image of Kirby and the program, but yet another effort to try to sabotage his image and that of the program. Just my opinions are all my comments are nothing more.
Love the passion and fire from Kirby. Would love it even more if stuff like this stayed as intended; between coach and team.
Another example.... AJC the worst home team news outlet when it comes to supporting the home team.
Kirby is the best coach UGA could have hired. UGA needed a coach who wants to break their rivals and have the team have that killer instinct. The audio proves he does both.
I don't think you guys should have put this story up. You are giving away too much information.
Ready to run through a wall!!! Sent that to multiple friends and even fans of other teams loved it!
Thinking I may listen every morning to get me ready to go to work so I can be ELITE 😂
