Kirby Smart explains how game got away from Georgia in season-ending loss to Notre Dame

[@acecafe727]

I had no idea when I watched this live what Coach Smart’s father was going through. RIP Sonny Smart🙏

[@han9090]

UGA senior class is leaving with the winningest class in UGA history. 53-5, unbeaten at home 25-0 2 back to back National Championship and two SEC championships. That’s a lot more than any other team is leaving with. Go Dawgs!!! Thanks for all y’all do

[@cbaacworth2849]

Bobo needs to gogo. No more buddy hires!!! New offense - wipe and restart. Gunner was not protected. His future looks extremely bright between our hedges!

[@bugle1988]

I'm glad u see that bc the rest of fans don't see him being any good . The reason Stetson was good was bc blocking and a defense . We are trash and it's gonna show next year

[@Ultra_Light_Beam]

I hope you recover from your Bobo derangement syndrome, I know it can be pretty tough to deal with.

[@mccaryt7723]

Bobo is a good coordinator quit fooling yourself. Offensive line cant block & WRs cant catch thats the problem.

[@tutualbert4754]

Nobody wins all games UGA has the Best coach and team So proud of our UGA team Thanks to all of you

[@ericcarvelli9773]

Lost his edge??? How did he lose his Edge when the players on the field are the ones that don't execute and make the mistakes, Kirby can't go out on the field and catch the pass for the receivers that are wide open and they can't catch a damn pass, that's been our Achilles heel the entire season and it bit Us in the ass tonight along with the turnovers and the fumbles.. you say he lost his Edge and this is a bad season? We still the SEC Champions and made the playoffs when a lot of teams are still playing pointless meaningless bowl games like the Pop-Tart Bowl, if Kirby would have went on and we would have won the National Championship everybody be like he's the greatest coach in college football, just because we lose the game and we're eliminated from the playoffs now he's lost his Edge and he needs to restructure his entire coaching philosophy

[@hisrighthandsaves]

No I said when he brought in Todd Monken he was going to win a natty and he did. Also said when he brought in Bobo, Stacy Searles and James Coley that offense was gonna take a major step back, and that we would’ve to have an elite D line like 2020 or else we would start playing close or lose games. So the problem is your offensive personnel on your coaching staff is just not that great at their job. Nobody on that staff will ever be a head coach or promoted to a prominent coordinator position outside of Ga.

[@kamehouseboxing7142]

Yeah poor coaching can’t teach a kid to catch can’t coach good point

I'm proud of how far my Dawgs got this year. They had the most difficult schedule in the country, and they always fought back from behind. Eventually that is gonna bite you. Georgia didn't play well this year so the fact that they go this far was good. I do think Mike Bobo is holding them back.

[@BoomBoom-py5zk]

Offense was stagnant and predictable. Coach Smart needs to demote his buddy Bobo to an analyst or something and bring Buster Faulkner back home as OC. OL coach and WR coach needs the boot. We gotta get the O rolling good job Gunner and hats off to the D they kept us in the game. We still gotta GREAT head coach peeps I think he just needs to go to the drawing board with his Offense.

[@DrJay-mh3ux]

[@ronniephillips6658]

Kirby is a great coach! Think about how many good coaches that has left his staff and are head coaches across this country.. Kirby is a sharp guy that realizes he has problems with the offensive staff for one…. It needs to be cleanup on isle one first and go from there with staff changes.. I’m from North Ga mountains In Towns County and I can tell you we are proud of Gunner and the Stockton family. Great family! Gunner did a very good job with the offense he has to work with and especially how they are coached. Clean up the house Kirby and let’s focus on 2025!!!

[@mpATL03]

Bobo had 3 weeks to prepare with Gunner. Frazier and Ettinne should have been on jet sweeps, swing plays etc. Mis-direction with a man in motion. Quick outlets to TE's and slants to WR's. Bring the game to the middle of the field understanding Gunner only had 3 weeks to prepare. I would have liked to see Gunner run more. Just a horrible offensive plan with 3 weeks preparation.

[@charlescollett4856]

Well said my friend!! But that's mike bobos predictability,for ya. 3 weeks for 10 points.. and it's not like gunner was straight outta of high school, no excuse. Need a new Ol coach,and an OC. Probably not gonna happen though..we'll see how far they/kirby let the candle burn down. Go Dawgs

Kirby is a true coach. I really think the game should have been postpone for at least a week. The tragic lost of all those on Boubon street I am sure affected some of the player harder than others. They should have moved it to Atlanta. Now they need to reimburst all that had to pay for another day or hotel stay, car rental, gas and food.

He might be Dabo 2.0. Too stubborn to evolve to the modern era. It’s worrisome that we can’t recruit the skilled Wide Receiver recruit. Neither from the portal or from high school. O Line recruiting has declined since the Pittman years as well. You see more 3 star and 4 guys nowadays than the 5 start variety of the Pittman years.

You can't give up possessions but you have to put your team in a position to win using their strengths and not asking for something outside their core competencies. A 4 second drop to take a shot when it was clear they were bringing pressure and being aggressive against an O-line struggling and a QB in his first start. It was reckless as best.

IMO, GA let off the throttle on the drive after their TD. 3 straight running plays after a drive that was all progress. If you can’t effectively run the ball, give it up for a while. My feeling was they couldn’t stop the pass at that moment. It reminded me of the 17’ Natty where the drive before the last was 3 straight runs by Chub who couldn’t run at all against Bama. Made no sense to me

[@ide_lunchmoney207]

Kirby mentioned it like it really was this year- everything took a step back from previous years (save maybe punting and FG). UGA did not dominate ANY team this year but instead made a profession of surviving. There was not a game that in all 4 quarters were decisive enough to allow 2nd/3rd string players to come in like in years past. O-line not dominant enough to allow a punishing run game or protect blind side, receivers who did very well in prior teams who transferred to UGA had no impact, run defense very average, pass rush from just one edge... list goes on. I am very excited to see Gunner's progression next year- no idea why the nay-sayers are talking about arm strength issue. Did they watch this game???

[@savage2343]

ALL new offensive coaches & bring Muschamp back full time.... we're clearly a better D with him on the field. I'm afraid Kirby will ride Bobo to an early retirement... Let's not forget Monken was in the house during the Texas game..

Why can’t we get a star wide receiver coach like Hines ward. I hate to say it but Bobo needs to go. He’s not a bad offensive coordinator AT ALL! Some of the plays I’ve seen him make really have been amazing BUT, we need to stop playing conservative and based on our star players. Use the plays that work. The ones that the team executes perfectly every time. We need diversity on offense to not have targets!!! We have the transfer portal in play now so we need to put stars with true greatness HEART NOT MONEY FOLLOWERS on our offense!!give your players a shot we(I) as Georgia fan has seen (for many years) us being too damn conservative; watching from the outside in. If players like Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey and Stetson Bennett succeeded why can’t more of those guys like cash jones?! SO TO SUM IT UP Diversity, Off. coordinator OR more aggressive plays from the START of the game. And wide receivers that are stars or have speed and fundamentals.

If UGA thinks they will be able to get the top WR in the portal to come to UGA, they need to upgrade their QB room. I believe Rashada is better than Gunner, but he can’t get a chance. How was Rashada a true freshman QB that was playing great before he was injured at Arizona State, suddenly can’t be out Gunner Stockton? Justin Fields couldn’t beat out Jake Fromm, he leaves UGA and 7 months later he’s in NY being considered for a Heisman Trophy. I don’t know who’s accessing talent at UGA, but they need to fire him.
