SEC Extra Points: Is Kirby Smart the New Steve Spurrier?

ATHENS, Ga. — The SEC lost one of the best last October, when former South Carolina and Florida head coach Steve Spurrier resigned from his position as the head coach of the Gamecocks, leaving a void in the SEC's sound-bite department.

Sure, there's Arkansas' Bret Bielema, who's one of the best. As is LSU's Les Miles—a man who has a better grasp of the English language than you. Yes, you.

Judging from his first three months as the head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Kirby Smart appears to be the man to fill the Spurrier void.
