Georgia football is the No. 1 topic every day on DawgNation Daily — the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fans. Catch up on everything happening with UGA athletics with host Brandon Adams and the DawgNation experts as they break down the latest Georgia football recruiting news and discuss coach Kirby Smart’s quest to return the Bulldogs to the top of the SEC. On episode No. 1,579 (Nov. 30, 2021) of the podcast, Georgia fans can hear a discussion about what Alabama coach Nick Saban has said in the past about his personal evolution regarding his offensive philosophy, and why UGA coach Kirby Smart can prove him wrong Saturday in the SEC championship game.

Georgia football podcast: Kirby Smart and Nick Saban are taking opposite approaches to motivation

Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart and many Bulldogs players have talked frequently this season about being dissatisfied with their performance -- even in blowout wins. By comparison, Alabama coach Nick Saban has seemingly taken a softer approach with his team this year -- essentially shrugging off those who think this Crimson Tide team has achieved at a level below his capabilities. I’ll discuss on today’s show what the different tacts Smart and Saban are taking could mean for the eventual result of Saturday’s SEC championship game.

10-minute mark: I discuss a historical trend for Alabama that UGA fans should be aware of ahead of Saturday’s game.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Connor Riley joins the show.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame to become LSU’s next coach.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and update the Gator Hater Countdown.
