Now I don't know how soon we will win the SEC again but my guess is that before spring practice, everyone on the team will know that football is about playing to win and that attention to the little details and hard work is not an afterthought.
I believe an attitude change will be apparent immediately when the season starts and there will not be any defeatist comments made before we play our biggest games. There also wont be anymore pre-game antics that take place. For those who might not see it, I am referring directly to what happened this year before the Alabama game, both in the press room and on the field. I think those days are over.
Takes me back to the gator game, end zone happening.
After it was over, urban meyer read the riot act to Mark Richt and Richt apologized.
Gimmicks are a way that Carney's back in the day drew "attention" to themselves so as to get folks into the tent. Once in the tent, the Carney disappeared.
Kirby Smart grew up under a Father that coached football. KS played football. KS served his apprenticeship at more than one school, UGA being one of them. For nine years served under Nick Saban, the same Nick Saban that learned a lot of football under Bill Belichick.
Have read some comments, elsewhere questioning Smart's time in grade to become a head coach at Georgia. Kirby Smart's time in grade will serve Georgia Football well. Knows how to read a compass, meaning he understands "direction and leadership". Some head coaches never reach that point even after a number of years.
