UGA football: ESPN host believes Smart should be SEC coach of year

If you listen to Peter Burns of ESPN, Georgia’s Kirby Smart should be the SEC coach of the year for the 2018 season.

The Bulldogs are 10-1 and will face Georgia Tech Saturday in their final regular-season game. Georgia will then face Alabama in the SEC championship game Dec. 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Watch and listen as Burns states his case for Smart as the conference’s coach of the year.

"It's not Stoops ... not Mullen ... not Coach O or Nick Saban. The SEC Coach of the Year is Kirby Smart."

Kirby Smart not getting a ton of run as SEC Coach of The Year is the ultimate compliment to him and UGA football.

He loses a TON of talent, but reloads & competes for a CFB Playoff spot & people are not shocked

That tells you that this is the new norm in Athens#SECThisMorning
