Smart weighs UGA job; no announcement imminent
5:41 pm January 9, 2010, by Tim Tucker

Kirby Smart, the defensive coordinator of newly crowned national champion Alabama, apparently is considering a return to Georgia, his alma mater, for the same job.

Smart, seen as a leading candidate for the UGA position since the Dec. 2 firing of Willie Martinez, was weighing a formal offer on Saturday but “has neither signed it nor made a decision regarding the opening,” according to the Tuscaloosa News, which cited “multiple sources.”

Smart has been publicly coy about his interest in the job but left the door open during a press conference in California two days before the national-championship game.

Georgia had no comment on the matter Saturday other than to say that no announcement of a hire was scheduled.

Smart would be a popular hire in Bulldog Nation. Former UGA defensive great David Pollack posted on his Twitter account Saturday: “From what I am getting guys I think Georgia has made a very SMART choice on their next DC, nothing 100% but def looks good.”

Smart makes about $400,000 per year at Alabama. Georgia is believed willing to pay considerably more than that.

Imo, KS or Grantham is a great hire.

Did a little bit of research on my own, and this is what I found.

From Michael Moore: \" I loved Kirby Smart. Gonna be a great fit. But who do you think he brings in as his 2 assistants?\"

From Rod Battle: \"I was there when coach smart was at uga. I liked him I think it's a great fit. He is an intense guy.\"

From Davey Pollack: \"From what I have gotten it is already a done deal. How does that make you feel Georgia fans?\"

This may be one of the biggest and best hires ever at the University of Georgia. GO DAWGS!

Did anyone else catch the Saban comments about his coaches making \"lateral\" moves?

Classy guy that Nick.

I wonder where he is off to next?
