Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is now the top coach in college football after Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement.
Smart, who was the defensive coordinator under Saban for four of Alabama’s national championships, coached with Saban at Alabama from 2007-2015.
Saban goes down as the greatest college football coach of all-time. He retires with seven national championships: one with LSU and six with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Smart went 1-5 in his career against Saban’s Alabama. Georgia and Alabama have played in some classic games over the past several years including three SEC championships and two national championships.
Smart and Saban remain close to this day. What did Smart have to say after Saban announced his retirement?
