DawgSports will be bringing you first looks at those who may be named to replace Head Coach Mark Richt.** We'll continue the series by reviewing the history of one Kirby Smart.
Raised in Bainbridge, GA, Smart starred for the Bainbridge High Bearcats and for his father (who was head coach). Enrolling at the University of Georgia in 1995, he played defensive back for the Bulldogs for four seasons. Any possible deficiencies were quickly covered up and remedied when he was joined in the defensive backfield by Champ Bailey. Benefiting from a lot more attention on the secondary receivers, he snagged 5 interceptions his senior year and was named first team All-SEC.
