Kirby Smart: Staff has 'complete control' of Georgia players

ATHENS, Ga. -- For the second time in as many weeks, Georgia coach Kirby Smart defended the culture of his program and said he and his staff have "complete control" of his players.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference ahead of the start of spring practice Tuesday, Smart was repeatedly asked about what his program was doing in the wake of a Jan. 15 car crash that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.

Police allege that LeCroy was racing a car driven by former Bulldogs defensive tackle Jalen Carter when it crashed.
