“Kirby Can’t Develop” - Georgia, Florida, and the False Narrative at the Middle of a Rivalry

This afternoon Mark Webb went to the San Diego Chargers with the 241st pick of the NFL Draft. With the selection of Webb, Georgia has now had nine players drafted in the 2021 Draft.

Fans of Georgia’s rivals haven’t had much ammunition to talk smack about the Dawgs since Kirby Smart took over in Athens before the 2016 season. Among 221 FBS coaches who have been hired since that time, Smart is the only head man besides Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban to win 50 games, a conference title and a College Football Playoff game. Additionally, he has turned Georgia into a recruiting machine that has landed a top three class in each full cycle since becoming the head man in Athens.
