Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks weighs in on hot football general manager topic
Brooks, in his fifth year serving as the Bulldogs athletic director, explained to DawgNation how he views Smartâs take on not appointing an official âgeneral managerâ in the face of a growing trend that has seen other programs appoint someone in that official capacity.

The only place where the GM topic is a HOT topic is among the Dawgnation staff. Enough on it. All satisfied with the UGA-Kirby model
It seems to me UGA has a "GM". CKS. He is the focal point that uses all the information gathered from a very talented staff of assistants and administrators. At some point will CKS want a guy that deals only with the money and NIL management? It could happen IF NIL continues to be a rule-less free for all. Those day do seem to be numbered.
IF NIL continues to be a rule-less free for all we might see CKS pull a Saban and leave CFB. The NFL would be an option for CKS. Maybe not his most desirable option. However, CKS is too young to retire and the NFL would be an option with rules and structure.
Right now talent acquisition in CFB is lawless. Talent acquisition in the NFL completely structured with all encompassing rules and standards.
IF UGA ever does have a "GM" for football you can bet the farm that that person will report to CKS. He won't be between Smart and Brooks.
Right. I don't remember seeing this as a hot topic anywhere else. Kirby is better than most at the Xs and the Os, player development and recruiting. NIL has leveled the field somewhat on recruiting. At some point, if CFB remains so chaotic, I can see him taking an NFL job where there is some structure, where he will excel in coaching and development and convincing free agent journeymen to play for him. We probably won't see that until his last kid is out of high school. Enjoy it while you can.
Indeed, this is now "Talking Season"…..as mentioned, can't see the Smart Family going anywhere for the next 5 years….for that matter, can't see them leaving the Athens/Lake Oconee area…..maybe retire from coaching, never going to the NFL…The TP & NIL are challenges but why would an extremely gifted coach/motivator subject himself to the idiotic vicissitudes of NFL owners/managers/prima donna players/agents???? At present KPS has a firm grip on the handle of the most successful football program in America…..he created it……I see KPS, an extremely competitive individual, work to supercede the accomplishments of his mentor Nick Saban….Kirby and Beth are UGA….can't see them EVER wearing anything other than Red & Black……..however, when it comes time to hang up the "cleats"……I see Glenn Schumann stepping into the HC position…that of course if Bama doesn't steal him away first.
