NASHVILLE—If Kirby Smart were as serious about discouraging dangerous driving as he is eradicating complacency, Georgia’s football offseason would have been more pleasant and less newsworthy.
The coach of the two-time national champion Bulldogs used the word “complacency” six times on the podium at Southeastern Conference media days Tuesday. He sounded as concerned about it as Joseph McCarthy was communism. Scary stuff.
“The threat for us is complacency,” Smart said. “The first thing you have to do is acknowledge that it’s a threat. Like if you acknowledge that complacency is a threat, it's the first step towards stomping it out.”
