Kirby Smart says Georgia is ‘far from’ having a culture problem after arrests, fatal car crash

It has been a tough few weeks for Georgia.

A Bulldogs player and a staff member were killed in a car crash on Jan. 15, just days after Georgia won a second consecutive national title, and Jalen Carter, a potential top pick in the NFL Draft later this spring, was arrested Wednesday on a reckless driving and racing charge related to the crash. Georgia linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was arrested last month on the same charges for a different incident.

So, does Georgia have a culture problem?

"Absolutely not. I would say we're far from it," head coach Kirby Smart told ESPN on Friday.
