ATHENS, Ga. -- When Kirby Smart returned to his alma mater in 2016, there was no ambiguity about his mission as Georgia's football coach.

He wasn't there to restore Georgia to annual top 25 status or to average 10 wins a season or even to end the Bulldogs' SEC championship drought. He was there to win national championships.

In eight seasons under Smart, Georgia has won two CFP titles, played for a third and won 13 or more games in each of the past three seasons.

Now that Nick Saban has retired, Smart is unquestionably tops among college football coaches, and his program is the envy of the sport.
