Georgia Football: Kirby Smart, Mark Richt comparison is lazy

Kirby Smart Joshua L. Jones-USA TODAY NETWORK

Calling Georgia football coach Kirby Smart, Richt 2.0, is flat-out laziness.

There have been a lot of narratives floating around Georgia football since Kirby Smart took over as head coach. One of those narratives is that Coach Smart is the second coming of Mark Richt. This is mostly meant as a derogatory remark as Coach Richt is known as someone that elevated Georgia football to new heights but plateaued before he was able to bring them a championship.

Now, this is true, Richt did improve the program, but he didn’t get them over the ultimate hump which was winning Georgia football a national championship.
