Sounds like a done deal IMO. This is exactly what he has waited for.

What happened to Tom Herman? Hopefully this is correct. I would MUCH rather see KS in Athens than TH.

I never would have thought they'd hand the job to a coordinator but well maybe they will. It's definitely what he wants. Unless there is a deal breaker somewhere in the demands he makes, I'd say it will be done in the next few weeks.

Tom Herman is a strong candidate. If they offer it to Smart first, he'd be foolish not to take it.

I agree, but who knows. Smart could end up being a good one. Herman is already headed in that direction.

No kidding. I'm afraid Herman would wake a drowsy giant at UGA.

If they hire smart I hope they suck for 10 years. Actually I hope it anyway.

Me too..they could hire my mom and I would feel the same way #ihateuga

If Smart was not a Georgia grad then he probably would not be in the mix at all. JMO.

Surprised Smart would be their choice over Herman. I know he is an alumnus, but that's about the only reason I can come up with to favor him over Herman.

[AUwent 3,747]

I'm hoping they get Charlie Weis.

[Weegle777 78]

Tried to tell you guys.

I agree. We obviously don't know how things will shake out, but I sure feel that if UGA goes with Smart, then we are dodging a bullet as AU fans.

[PoetTiger 1,896]

Well he has been part of like 3 national championship programs, worked with whom many say is the best college coach, knows the recruiting landscape, has worked with their DC before, I thinks it's a good place to look and I would consider it a strong hire. Plus he is an alum and I sure he loves UGA...

Herman? Pfft. What SEC school in their right mind would hire a coach with only one year of HC experience?

I see what you did there.

[augolf1716 21,096]

I just want Pruitt gone

[tiger88 934]

I just want Pruitt gone

Would many coaches keep him with his supposed backstabbing habits?

[doug3020 842]

I just want Pruitt gone

Absolutely. If Herman goes to UGA, I bet Pruitt stays. If KS goes then who knows. They did work together at turdville.

Good question. If the backstabbing is true I guess it could come into play

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

UGA fans saying Smart to UGA is a done deal. You know how the done deal crowd is with the "it was done last week" talk. The funny thing i saw was this: "Muschamp might have cost himself the DC job by acting like an ass yesterday." lol

[Never2Yield 1,005]

Wait, when did Richt step down or get fired?

[AU64 10,122]

Smart to UGa....I figure AU has several gains if that happens....
