The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that "barring a last-minute snag" in the negotiations Kirby Smart will be named the new head football coach at the University of Georgia. An announcement could come as soon as Sunday, following the SEC Championship Game. That timing makes sense given Nick Saban's general loathing of anything that even looks a little like a distraction. Distractions aren't a part of The Process.
The AJC is also reporting that Smart will retain defensive line coach Tracy Rocker, but that there are no details yet on which other coaches might be retained. My suspicion is that running backs coach Thomas Brown and wide receivers coach Bryan McClendon stand a reasonable chance of being retained.
