Anytime a coaching change happens, there are inevitably going to be changes to the game day experience to cater to the new head man’s wishes.

Georgia fans were concerned that the departure of Mark Richt might spell the end of  the Dawg Walk, which has become a popular part of the pregame experience in Athens.

Thankfully, it appears as though new coach Kirby Smart is at least willing to give this tradition a test-run at the spring game.

According to 247Sports, the Dawg Walk tradition may take on a different form under Smart.

In the past, UGA hasn’t made the journey from Lumpkin Street, under Field Street bridge, and into Sanford Stadium, but both Smart and the UGA administration are working to make this year a different experience.

There is a strong likelihood that the new coaching staff, the administration and the fan base will come together on something that’s enjoyable for everyone by the time fall arrives.
