Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley spoke with the media at SEC media days. Gurley, who played in the Mark Richt era, likes how the Georgia football program is under Kirby Smart.
“Honestly, I just trust and believe in Kirby (Smart),” said Gurley. “As a former Georgia player, but also as a fan, whatever he does, I approve of it.”
It’s hard to blame Gurley for supporting Kirby Smart. Smart has won two of the last three national championships and has taken the Georgia football program to new heights.
“You know, he’s guided us to championships and, honestly, I am just happy,” added Gurley in response to how Georgia’s 2024 backfield will share the running back duties. “Just happy with the whole program and how they’re doing. I know a lot of fans are like ‘ah we want that three-peat’. It was 41 years for the first one and we ended up getting two back-to-back and I was able to go to one of them.”
Here’s Todd Gurley’s full interview.
Georgia’s football program is certainly in good hands under Kirby Smart, who recently inked a lengthy contract extension. It is also good to see that Gurley seems to be doing well.
