Kirby Smart reveals his role in Georgia offense, looks to avoid 'boat race'
Georgia football coach Kirby Smart shared the role he plays in the Bulldogs' offense planning, and how he doesn't want his team in scoring contests

OMG Kirby is actually regressing the O...he is determined to play Knute Rockne/3 and a cloud of dust football come hell or high water! We are never going to have an explosive O with Kirby coaching. Very sad.
Sorry Fellas,
This has politics written all over i t . Again- Kirby is NOT the answer. My only issue is how long will it take us to rip the bandage off and move on from Kirby. He would be an awesome AD.
Very frustrating! I understand what Kirby is saying. Long drives that eat up the clock keeps the opposing offense off the field and rest our defense. But that philosophy is a dinosaur. Look at the successful teams in recent years. Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State have spread offenses and move up and down the field very swiftly. Consequently, they are very high scoring teams. Georgia has recruited at the same level as these programs, and even better in recent years. So we have the talent to run the same type of offense AND our defense is as good or better. But Kirby wants to get 3 or 4 yards per play. I will never understand it.
What Kirby fails to realize is that against the elite teams he’s in a boat race whether he wants it not not. He appears to be content with not being the the CFB Playoff every year. He values methodical consistency over winning championships. We are telling top recruits “come to UGA and play D” and “go elsewhere if you want a spread high scoring O.” His stubbornness is incomprehensible!
One point: How do you win a game? Outscore your opponent or you lose. I understand Kirby's concern but he is too conservative. He wants it like it USED to be...control, tempo, defense. The games now seem to be getting "hotter." Let's see how Kirby's same ole recipe for winning pans out over the next few weeks. Bama exposed that Kirby weakness last week. What is Kirby thinking? UGA's defense has been routed already. Now what? UGA needs to up tempo the offense..not simmer it and rely on defense. Coach Smart, you better at least get in the boat and then, if need be, race it. Less than this and Bama wins again...and again. Sorry, this is truth. UGA needs to come alive and heat it up!!!! Come on...GO DAWGS!!!
That's going to be a hard sell to the elite receivers as BAMA and LSU have(had) which I might add is the difference in the 3 programs. Hey guys come to our school where we will run the clock out. Sheesh! Hey elite QB's come hand the ball off. YEh Kirby that'll work. Why can't he just say we have to get better offensively in game planning and in talent. And when we do, we are going to put up big numbers and our defense will be elite. To tout ground and pound may be the best option currently but to espouse that stuff openly is to UGA's detriment.
All y’all on here for mindless. throwing it even if the run is working: watch the 2nd half of that game again and still believe that. Bama runs first to set up pass, so does Oklahoma. Clemson runs Ettiene over people.
Five batted balls, no adjustment, by Monken or Stetson. The head coach only contributes to offense by saying what the defense might do? Does he want to go back to being a D coordinator, or has he never left the role? You think Belichick (or Saban) just stands there and says "Good luck, offense!" Not likely. Kirby, nobody hired you as a defensive coach - you're the head coach. When did you plan to figure that out?
