If he goes to Georgia and has success as a DC

It means that he keeps Richt in power

I don’t see that as being a good move for Smart

Process > Results

THats point, if he wants to be the UGA headcoach at some point in his career

The best place for him to be is NOT at UGA

NO....

he Richt failed to the point of getting fired and Smart was the DC during that time, it would be very unusual for him to get the UGA HC job.

Can make the argument about him going to FSU

He goes to GA, greatly improves the defense with his name (not saban) on it, moves on to another school after a few years as an HC. Same thing he would have a chance to do at FSU.

Yeah, but some of the comments seem to suggest he's holding out for the UGA HC position.

I think you’re right, he’d be looking for any HC position. UGA may be his dream school, but he’d be crazy to manuever around waiting on Richt to be fired.

What I’ve read is that when Richt promoted his just-fired buddy, Willie Martinez, to DC, Willie wanted a role for his buddy, Janacek (also fired), and made him the LB coach. That left Kirby, a defensive coach, without a spot, so he was made to take over RB coaching. Richt approved all of this in Bowdenesque fashion, and Smart was none too pleased with Richt. He left at the earliest opportunity. I’d be surprised to see him go back.
