Yeah kind of interesting to see him jump to another school in the league to take the same job.... -

The chasing started a month ago. Richt still has not replaced Martinez, Smart is an alum...

Former UGA defensive great David Pollack posted on Twitter this afternoon: “From what I am getting guys I think Georgia has made a very SMART choice on their next DC, nothing 100% but def looks good.” -

Georgia tried getting Chavis from LSU for DC (who came from Tenn last year)
LSU in the last month picked up Tenn. WR coach for RB coach, and picked up Florida's WR coach for WR coach for LSU.
This isnt a unfamiliar trend. -

$700k was offered but Saban talked him out of going. Kirby had the car gassed up and everything. Todd Grantham, recently DC of the Browns, now a Dallas dline coach, is the next name I'm reading.
