What's so good about this, in my mind, is that this excuse gives Kirby way more time than he should have at the wheel over there. That's going to be their coach for 3 to 4 more miserable years.

You guys can thank Smart for this. He started this talk well before the season even started. He's right in some ways - where's the big-bodied WRs for UGA? Blazevich is their only long receiver.
The problem is that Smart's defense only works when he has guys with specific measurables. It isn't adaptable at all to different offensive situations (as noted by his continual throttling by Hugh Freeze).
Smart needs guys that are
1. An inch or two taller than average at every position
2. Leaner in the linebacker group
3. A shorter, heavier defensive tackle rotation for run stuff
4. A taller, leaner defensive end rotation for perimeter and pass protection.
His zone scheme requires a lot of movement between the back 7-8 players. He is very good within the realm of what Saban has taught him, but he has no ability to adapt the defense outside of that. They recruit guys with NFL measurables and they churn out guys with NFL measurables at Alabama. Not having the perfect defense at Georgia shows how rigid Smart is. It isn't a talent issue; it is a scheme issue.
Smart also needs a gigantic staff to handle most of the player development, and I don't think he's got that at UGA. There's a reason he was the hardest working recruiter in the country at Alabama - they have a stable of coaches for every position and the defense there only really needed Smart on Saturdays. It will be interesting to see how he takes on the head coaching roles at Georgia.

It was also mentioned during the broadcast by one of the announcers.
Be sure to delete your post in an hour or so. We don't want the Athenians to come to their senses too early.
So Smart was Bama's DC with Sabs personally coaching the DB's. So you had NFL guys on the DL and LB core and Saban handling the secondary? And they thought Smart was something more than a product of that system?
Yeah dawgs, keep blaming the talent.
