On episode No. 1,052 (Oct. 16, 2019) of the podcast, Georgia fans can hear a discussion about UGA coach Kirby Smart passing on a chance to publicly evaluate offensive coordinator James Coley with reporters this week.
Georgia football podcast: The one question Kirby Smart doesn’t seem to want to answer
Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart was asked twice this week to evaluate the performance of offensive coordinator James Coley. Smart passed on the opportunity both times — seemingly doubling down on the offensive philosophy that he’s employed with the Bulldogs since becoming coach in 2016. I’ll explain why Smart’s comments and actions — while not necessarily an example of great coaching — are an example of strong leadership.
10-minute mark: I discuss some stats that suggest UGA is still very much alive in the Playoff conversation — including an evaluation of what the Bulldogs defense is doing well, and where it can improve.
15-minute mark: DawgNation’s Mike Griffith joins the show. Some of the topics covered include…
- How UGA will respond to its loss
- What it will take to make the Bulldogs offense more explosive
- The absence of long runs from UGA’s offensive arsenal
- And whether the Bulldogs were guilty of overlooking South Carolina
30-minute mark: I take a look at other headlines including Alabama coach Nick Saban, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields being asked about the Gamecocks’ upset of UGA. I also address the latest Heisman odds and quarterback Ryan Hilinski’s status for South Carolina’s game vs. Florida.
35-minute mark: I share audio from UGA coach Kirby Smart about how prepared he thought his team was Saturday.
End of show: I share the Gator Hater Updater and invite DawgNation Daily listeners and viewers to joins us at Marlow’s in Dunwoody for our Marlow’s Matchup with Jon Stinchcomb Thursday night.
