they are reporting we have offered a contract that well exceeds his current one.

Sounds like it is bout to become official

[Sharkweather]

Been waiting for this for a good six weeks. Cant wait til it is official.

[Nash]

according to Claude Felton, he has absolutely no idea where Richt is today.

righttttttttttt

[Nash]

Felton tipped his hand, he said no announcement will be made today or tonight. never said anything bout tomorrow or monday

David Pollack’s tweets:

4. Remember guys I not saying this is 100%, but it looks to be the case.

3. From what I have gotten it is already a done deal. How does that make you feel Georgia fans?

2. From what I am getting guys I think Georgia has made a very SMART choice on there next DC, nothing 100% but def looks good

1. Georgia fans your DC shld be coming soon. I dont think anyone will care about the wait anymore.

[Nash]

I'm just glad you guys didn't jack Bud. I'm guessing this means UGA will be switching to the 3-4.

I would rather have Smart TBH

and yea. It will work out well as our 2 def ends both are very athletic and run 4.5 40's so they will transition easily into outside line backers

[Sharkweather]

After watching a National Championship where both DC's were former UGA players, glad we are getting our man!

Woooooooooooooo!

[Nash]

We definitely have the peices for the 34 and Smart technically did call the defense this year. Still, Saban was involved of course

The Night Before Kirby

'Twas the night before Kirby, when throughout the Dawg Nation

This Dawg wasn’t stirring from his computer station;

The wish list was hung by the monitor with care,

In hopes the Smart choice soon would be there;

The best fans in the world were all snug in their beds,

While visions of Championships danced in their heads;

Suddenly from UGASports there arose such a clatter,

I clicked with my mouse to see what was the matter.

Away to The Dawgvent I flew like a flash,

Opened the posts and read the pushpin from Dash.

I read of speculation and endless innuendo,

And then a list of the things Dash said we do know;

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

The words that Kirby soon could be here;

But Dash didn’t confirm this was the end of the matter,

And left the door open for endless Vent chatter.

More rapid than gunfire came other names in play,

That had been rumored over the last few days;

Is Kirby Smart the man with the plan?

Could Todd Grantham be the man that we land?

Is there a third, a fourth, or a fifth candidate in play?

Could Will Muschamp be our man at the end of the day?

Then suddenly there’s a post from someone nearby,

There’s rumor of a plane to soon reach the sky,

It sat on the tarmac in Championship land,

And supposedly was there to pick up the man.

And then, in a twinkling, shrewd Dawg Venters did say,

We’ll be at the airport before night turns to day.

We’ll scope things out and be spies for the clan,

We’ll know who’s onboard, that’s our master plan.

So for hours we waited to hear from the crew,

From GADevildawgs, BlacklistedDawg, and others too.

They waited and questioned and waited some more,

To give us good news of who walked out the door;

But the plane never left championship land,

So I finally went to bed with no answer in hand.

But fear not my fellow Venters and all the Dawg fans,

Our leader Mark Richt, for sure has a plan.

We’ll know before long, and we’ll be happy, you’ll see,

We’ll have the right man to lead our hunker down "D".

Gone will be the days of our "D" being pushed around,

And throughout the land, we’ll be the talk of the town;

Excitement I believe will soon be in site,

"Happy Championships to all, and to all a good-night."

Smart is staying at Bama :banghead:

We HAVE to get Grantham now

[Nash]

Apparently Smart signed the terms of agreement but backed out at the last second.

Fuck you Kirby Smart

[goDawgs1433]

I held off judgement of this one until anything was actually announced.

Well, fuck, I'm mad that Kirby used us. But, tbh, he's only been a coordinator for 2-3 years and nobody really knows if he actually runs that defense. He's still a name right now without a long track record of success. If we can get another good, intense DC for cheaper, we can spend more money on the rest of our staff and still be just fine.

[Nash]

the thing that pisses me off the most though is that Smart knew UGA wouldnt offer a contract to someone they knew would reject them. We didnt want to get humiliated and Smart knew that and still pulled this shit

[Sharkweather]

Lol, some alumni.

[Sharkweather]

Don't know much about him honestly.

Haven't been keeping up on the UGA forums much the past two weeks cause of school. I had all my eggs in the Kirby basket, didn't really learn about many of the other potential candidates.
