Georgia Football: Trusting the Process from Tuscaloosa to Athens

On December 7th, 2015 when Kirby Smart was announced as the head football coach at the University of Georgia, he used two words a dizzying amount of times: recruiting and process. Over the nearly three years that have followed, he’s demonstrated that he understands both of those words very well. When it comes to recruiting, Smart has dramatically increased Georgia’s talent level, which wasn’t all that bad under his predecessor Mark Richt. Georgia routinely reeled in top 10 recruiting classes and remained a legitimate contender in the SEC’s eastern division. The problem was that Smart was coming from a place where the talent on campus far exceeded just about everybody else in college football.
