Kirby Smart explains why Georgia football hasnât followed âGMâ trend
ATHENS â Kirby Smart wants to make things clear: He doesnât want or need one person as an official âgeneral managerâ overseeing his personnel at this time because he takes another approach.

How many NFL coaches wish they had the decision, and not some GM who doesn't know football. All of them? Why go the GM model. The coach should be the top of the pyramid.
So, translating between the lines…when I retire from coaching Georgia football I’ll take the less stressing GM position. And why not? Who wouldn’t want Kirby as their GM?
You know its the offseason when we have 5 different articles on Dawgnation saying the exact thing.
@99nout Unfortunately the repetive reporting is not limited to the offseason.
No GM….agree with KS
Successful coaches build relationships, relationships build culture, culture builds Team cohesion which inspires individual excellence so that the common goal of winning becomes paramount…..the death of collegiate football will occur when an NFL model is instituted….when schools pick tallent from a limited roster of drafted HS players rather than players picking schools based on reasons ranging from earnings to development potential to totally altruistic reasons like education or lifelong identity with a particular school, the system will implode and fan support will redirect to other attractions….NIL will never provide a lasting relationship between players and coaches/schools…..GM's in college football will come and go….and you'll never find a life partner at the Chicken Ranch.
Same thing, for Nick Saban. Hell...why not, see if he's interested in a GM position at the right school....like Alabama or LSU....or, Georgia?.
In fact, that seems like a premium position for any former player, coach or Football Handicap'er, with the right skills. Fun too. You could virtually, do that job from home. Maybe go into the office from FaceTime to FaceTime. Lol
@99nout I'm not sure I follow you — this is the first article with Kirby talking about the GM Position and why he doesn't have one.
I did have Josh Brooks as a guest Monday night "On the Beat" to get his take on the GM role in college football? Perhaps you saw that headline go live?
But, yes, sometimes we do write more than one story on the same topic, such as the House vs. NCAA, which had a hearing on April 7 and is still not settled — amazingly — even as the judge makes requests and lawyers file more briefs.
It's like college football is in this constant state of flux, every day we wake up, it's something different.
Appreciate the feedback
There have been several articles with the same exact quote from Smart. This added nothing to those articles.
Personally....I have no problem reading multiple takes from multiple angles…on the same topic. Especially, the topics being discussed. The more information available...the better the opinion.....IMO. Lol
