Quincy Mauger had this to say below . . . .
‘’He (Smart) is a very hands-on kind of coach,’’ he said. ‘’He’s thrown with the safeties a couple times, he works with the entire defense, special teams, you name it. He’s really shown a high level of interest in all phases of the game. Right now, he’s just helping us focus on reading our keys and trying to play faster.’’
Don't know of course how long it will take for the "entire mind set" to change in Athens, don't think it will be a long period.
Feel that Smart has picked up where Pruitt left off and has his hands all over the "entire team". Can not think of a better replacement for head coach at UGA than the one recently made.
For those that did not get to watch Erk back in the day, what I see coming from Smart is basically the same thing. Hard, driven, but also understands what "relationships" mean. Coaches that can walk off the practice field with their arms around a player that has had a rough practice day, says a lot. Many of Smart's first year players in Athens will return after leaving campus, whether football or life in general because they understood after all was said and done.
Any that played football know exactly what I am trying to say.
Have posted this video before, will do so again if I think it fits and has merit to the conversation.
