Well, now, you might be wonderin’ why in the world would Kirby Smart leave his cushy spot at Georgia to go coach them Falcons, huh? I mean, Georgia’s got everything for him, don’t it? They’re always handin’ him new contracts, throwin’ money his way, and he’s already got the good life down there in Athens. The Bulldogs are good to him, and he’s been winnin’ like nobody’s business. So why would he up and leave? Well, I’m tellin’ ya, it don’t make a whole lotta sense, does it? But, folks sure are talkin’ about it, and that’s why we gotta take a look-see.
Now, one thing to remember is that ol’ Kirby Smart, he’s been in the football game a long time. He knows what it takes to win, no doubt about it. He was a fine player back in his day with the Georgia Bulldogs, and folks even thought he was gonna make it big in the pros. But, you know, he didn’t stay long in the NFL. It was the Colts that picked him up for a bit, but he got cut before the season started. Didn’t seem to bother him none, though. He turned right back around and got into coaching, and boy, did he rise fast! Worked his way up at LSU, helped make some fine NFL players, then ended up back in Georgia where he’s been the head coach, leadin’ them to championship after championship.
So, now, we’re sittin’ here thinkin’—Kirby Smart, a man who’s been on top of the college game, why would he want to jump into the NFL fire? That’s a whole ‘nother kettle of fish, ya know? The NFL ain’t no joke, and if you don’t believe me, just ask ol’ Nick Saban. He tried it with the Miami Dolphins and didn’t get far. Kirby’s gotta be lookin’ at that and thinkin’ long and hard before he’d even think about takin’ on the Falcons.
And then you got people like Lane Kiffin, bless his heart, goin’ around suggestin’ Kirby Smart for the Falcons job. Now, Lane’s a good coach himself, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I think he likes to stir the pot a little bit. He sure knows how to get folks talkin’. But whether or not he’s got a point here? I dunno. Could Kirby Smart handle the NFL grind? It’s a whole different beast, I tell ya. The Falcons been up and down for years now, and even when they made it to that Super Bowl, they didn’t quite finish the job. If Kirby’s gonna come in, he’d have to be ready for all the pressure. That’s a lotta weight to carry on your shoulders.
Now, some folks think Kirby might actually be tempted by the challenge. He’s already done all he can at Georgia, right? Maybe he’s lookin’ for somethin’ new, somethin’ bigger. The NFL’s the top of the mountain for any coach, so who knows? Maybe he’d see it as a chance to prove he can do it at the highest level. But then again, if he stays at Georgia, he can keep rakin’ in them titles, keep gettin’ paid, and just keep livin’ the good life.
But let’s be real here, it’s still all just talk right now. Ain’t no official word on whether the Falcons are even considerin’ Kirby for the job, much less if he’d take it. They’ve been lookin’ for a new head coach after they let go of Dan Quinn. And it’s a tricky situation, ‘cause not every coach is gonna want to step into a mess like that. The Falcons have had their ups and downs, and whoever comes in next is gonna have a tough road ahead of ‘em.
But hey, don’t be surprised if they reach out to Kirby Smart. That man’s got connections, and he knows football better than most. He’s been groomin’ future NFL players at Georgia for years, and even if he don’t want the job, you know they’ll be watchin’ him real close. So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. But one thing’s for sure, it’d be a real surprise if Kirby jumped from college to the NFL, especially with the Falcons. But stranger things have happened, ain’t that right?
What’s next for Kirby Smart?
Well, we’ll have to just sit tight and wait for the man to make up his mind. Whether he sticks with the Bulldogs or decides to take on the challenge of the Falcons, he’s gonna be in the spotlight either way. If the Falcons are serious about lookin’ for a new head coach, they might give him a call. But, like I said, it’s a big decision, and Kirby’s gonna have to think about it real hard. He’s got a good thing goin’ at Georgia, but the NFL can be mighty temptin’ if you got the right kind of drive.

So, we’ll just have to watch and see what happens, won’t we? If Kirby Smart does end up with the Falcons, it’ll be one heck of a story. But, if he stays put in Georgia, well, that’s just fine too. Either way, he’s one of the best at what he does, and football fans everywhere are gonna be watchin’ closely.
