SDS News: What Kirby Smart said Wednesday on the SEC Coaches Teleconference
Georgia faces Middle Tennessee State at home this Saturday night, here’s what coach Kirby Smart said during Wednesday’s SEC Coaches’ Teleconference:
On the key to maintaining the buy-in with a new program:
The biggest thing is trying to get guys to buy in to the way you do things. It’s a daily challenge because it’s not the way they are used to doing things. The trust that you know what you are doing. You have to stay with them and show them you love them… Trust is something that is earned and not given and it takes time.
How big was last season on that coming off the first season at UGA:
The end of the season, in the bowl game and the practices was key for us. Beating TCU and letting the kids know how we do things was key heading into the second year.
On his RBs:
I think that each one is unique to themselves. Swift is a big back that has quickness and speed but the one thing that’s consistent is they work hard and practice well.
How different or similar does MTSU look from 2015 to 2018:
They are different. Personnel schemes are different, the fullbacks they use more, the tight end they use more… I think they are a little different because the personnel is different.
