Smart faces tough problem, but that’s why he makes the big bucks
For Kirby Smart, it should have been one of those weeks that coaches love.

Competition for playing time is so fierce at Georgia, losing "rank" , not suspension, is a partial answer as I'm sure that continued NIL is predicated by success on the field…..going from starter to second or third would get your attention plus the work required to earn back your position a constant reminder…..the other component would be fines attached to NIL income…..I'd use a percentage as no two player get the same amount…..ie: first offense 10%, second 25%, third 50%.
The players know what the penalty is…..and don't seem to care. I'm not sure what CKS can do that will get their attention.
Another great article Bill, always a pleasure reading your views on UGA football..GoDAWGS!
What does Kirby’s salary have to do with teenage irresponsible behavior? Answer: NOTHING! Nobody is feeling sorry for Kirby Smart. What we should be feeling sorry for is kids being given waaaaay too much money without the experience, maturity or mental facilities to handle the situation.
”Some of it is poor decisions and some of it is bad driving”.
Ridiculous. Embarrassingly ridiculous.
These aren’t 15 year-olds who got their permits last week. And do bad drivers ACCIDENTLY do 110-mph in a 40-mph zone?
These are 100% POOR DECISIONS. No exceptions.
Maybe coddling them and excusing their behavior as simple “bad driving” and not CONSCIOUS DECISIONS is a big part of the problem.
Oh, and the “proactive” solutions are working about as well as a screen door on a submarine.
It’s going to take another death (or two) to wake this program up, isn’t it?
I not with you when you say public humiliation is not part of the answer. I recall my time in Junior High when the intercom would come on during class, a student would announce their name, the infraction in which they were guilty, followed by the sound of a paddle to the rear end and any whimpering could be heard by all. I never recall a second offence by the guilty student or any predecessor.
Humiliation and loss of privileges worked then and wil work now. Coddling never does.

Humiliation might have been fine in junior high but I don't think that left too much in college
Humiliation and peer pressure
works , especially with teenagers.
