As a vol fan, I’ve spent years not liking Kirby. Now that saban is gone, this is the closest we have to that level of greatness. I spent years not liking saban until I looked past my orange colored glasses and started respecting and enjoying what he did. Same with Brady but I digress. Whether you love or hate Kirby, you have to enjoy witnessing and respect what he’s doing at UGA
As a dawgs fan I really appreciate this comment. We got a good one and I’m glad he’s able to shed the dumb blind hatred that plauges casuals.
I’ve met kirby multiple times and every time I talk about the one time I played golf with him and I beat him. And every time he gives a new, genuine response and idk I see that side, and then you watch the leaked pregame speeches, and it just feels like we have the best coach in football. And he went to our school. It’s a fairytale situation and I understand why people hate out of jealousy but thank you for seeing past it
That’s a mature perspective tbh
The old saying goes you don’t boo Nobody’s. You can respect the person without liking the person.
Lol understandable. I boo Josh heupel but I think he's cool as hell 😂🤷♂️
Thank you for your comment. We all have to respect greatness when we are honored to witness it. I've seen many who were not Georgia Bulldawgs. It's a part of college football I love. Especially here in the SEC!!♥️🖤♥️🖤
Grateful that he’s Georgia’s coach. Couldn’t be prouder of the job he’s done.
I hope Mark richt is somewhere in your heart aswell
Can’t help but like him. Phenomenal Coach.
Kirby is the best! He is the epitome of what a coach should be! Looking forward to the 2024 season! Go Dawgs!🏈🏆🏆🔥🔥👑👑💪🏽
He is what all College coaches should aspire to be but very very few have the drive the dedication the work ethic the talent and the love and loyalty to the game of football and to The University of Georgia. This is his dream (as well as nightmare at times) but it means alot when u know that ur HC isn't about to leave to go and coach another college team regardless of money or perks or anything. Theres a reason these kids buy into the culture and the grind at UGA cause it's not easy at all and these kids see that it's not just "coach speak" coming from Kirby... he holds himself and his coaches to the same standard or higher and man Kirby is a TRUE HC... he is not just decent at the many different responsibilities or hats u have to wear as a HC ... he is a master at them all AND he is humble enough to try and improve himself his staff the team and the program. How many guys can come in as a new HC convince the AD and those in charge to give him the necessary support facilities staff and budget ... as a brand new HC..!!! How many new HCs can go out and convince the boosters the alumni and the fanbase to buy into (literally and figuratively) his vision of what it would take to put UGA at the championship caliber level yr in and yr out before coaching his first game really ... he raised well over half maybe more of the tens of millions of dollars it took to where now UGA has the nicest most advanced facilities and support staff in the Nation... I laugh remembering how everyone would say oh he's just a recruiter or DC but not a really good HC... hahaaa he's the best in the business and no disrespect to Nick Saban at all but Kirby has been the best for the last 3 to 4yrs. His vision and plan worked so well that even with spending I know it was $90+million or higher and going through the whole Covid ordeal... the University of Georgia hasn't struggled whatsoever financially and has become one of the most lucrative brands in all of CFB to the point they had built up a reserve that allowed them to coast through Covid yr financially speaking whereas other programs could barely afford to field a team... some couldn't. Kirby is just a genuine real no BS lead by example guy that has a desire to compete and be the best at everything he does ... he's honest and and u can tell he's there to WIN not just coast through and collect a paycheck and the players and coaches see and feel and want to be apart of it. I mean he's won 85 outta the last 100 games played... better than Saban, Spurrier; Fulmer and even Bear Bryant! His record in just 8yrs is 96Ws - 16Ls.... and the only HC to win back to back Nattys in the modern playoff Era. Just a recruiter... not a good on-field HC... OK whatever u wanna call him we'll settle for that over ANY HC IN THE NATION WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. Go ahead compare ur HC to Kirby... that feeling there would be disappointment my friend. FACT! GO DAWGS!!!!
Not a Georgia fan......or even a fan of a competing SEC team, but i love to listen to this guy speak.
When you think of "football coach" this is the guy who should come to your mind.
Gator fan here, but nothing but respect for Kirby. He’s such an obviously sharp guy and incredible leader/coach. Any of us that underestimated him found out the hard way that he’s UGA’s Spurrier and more. Great interview.
That interview was good on good, thanks Josh. I think Smart learned so much from Saban, the Master, but he's got a demeanor that is much easier to relate to and is more affable. As a Michigan fan I genuinely like Coach Smart and think that even though he's too humble to admit it, he is now definitively the top dog in CFB coaching in terms of respect, accomplishment, and influence. Georgia is truly blessed to have this man running their program.
The absolute best interview JP has done.
Best interviewer in college football
Agreed.

From a dawgs fan thank you for this Josh
I can't imagine any high school player that sees this interview not wanting to play for Coach Smart.Great coach, great interview and Go Dawgs!
I am SOOOO dangum glad we hired Kirby, He's one of gentlemen I look up too. GO DAWGS ❤️🖤
One thing that’s cool about Kirby is, he actually likes and cares about other coaches a ton. He mentions things all the time about how he’s passionate about wanting the job of the coach to be sustainable, to be successful and how he wants to make a difference for his players’ lives but also other coaches.
Even if you’re not an SEC person or don’t care for UGA, even his rival coaches are always raving about what he’s doing for the sport
000⁰😊😅😅😅😅😅
You have to love conversations between two intelligent well spoken individuals.
Thats my coach, GO DAWGS!!!
This was an outstanding interview! A master class on how to interview. Outstanding questions and interview progression. Josh is the unofficial duke of college football!
I feel so lucky to be a Georgia fan during the rein of Coach Kirby Smart! Thank you for everything you do coach and we all believe in you!
What a great interview. Kirby wasn’t guarded, JP didn’t try to corner Kirby with anything or try to get some hot take for ratings sake. It was like a living room conversation and a camera just happened to be rolling. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Greg in Nashville TN 🎶Music City 🎶
I just love the way Kirby talks. I take everything seriously that comes out of his mouth, and I have no problem believing everything he says.
Best interviewer in the business with the best head coach in the sport. Great stuff as always JP.
Joel on Fox Sports ranks right up there also.
@@PoliticallyIncorrect90
Joel who?
As a TRUE Alabama fan, I have nothing bad to say about Kirby. He was tremendous at Alabama and he’s done a phenomenal job at UGA. I still have respect for him as a coach and I respect his program that he has built and he deserves credit for the accomplishments that he and has entire program have achieved
Josh was great running into you in Athens at the uga football facility. So much respect for your show! Been a fan for a long time, it was an unexpected surprise. Go dawgs!
Officially now the best coach in all of college football. It’s not even close.
Until it is
I totally agree! RTR
Spot on. If you polled every AD and media and asked which coach would you want to take over your program right now - the answer would be Kirby.
15:00 might be the best cfb interview question I’ve ever heard
Josh is living the dream. One day that'll be me 🙏🏻
go for that goal !
Can’t help but respect and admire Kirby
We are Blessed having Kirby as our head coach, A+ interview well done Josh
Best coach in the sport. Athens is so blessed. Enjoy it while it’s here.
Go Dawgs! Thats my head coach!
Can’t think of anything worse for a coach recruiting a prospect when seeing Kirby and Saban walking out of the kids home and you’re next up.
Kirby is the best coach in FOOTBALL right now. Georgia looks just like the Bama teams winning all those titles with a big fast defense and a offense that doesn't screw it up. Lol.... Roll Tide!
It sucks that Bama had their dynasty now it looks like Georgia is going to build a dynasty. As an Auburn fan its painful but Kirby is an insanely good coach and to think Auburn had a great chance to bring him in as head coach adds to my sorrow.
You said Georgia build a dynasty 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@scottturner1504 yep, they are in the process and I’d say damn near close
@@scottturner15042 nattys and annual top 5 ranking and top 3 recruiting is basically where every program wants to be, doesn’t matter who your team is
@@scottturner1504 Georgia is literally one more natty away from being an official dynasty and everyone knows this. But feel free to keep on spamming those emojis and living in denial if that helps you cope lmao
@@TheMCJ2011 let me tell you what Georgia is going to do just like bama, now that the PORTAL and NIL are in place they Georgia is going to have to face the fact that teams like Ohio st ,Michigan, Texas, Oregon and I could go on are buldging teams that are just as good or better than they are ,don't look to go on any championship run ,football has changed, and the sooner you accept that the more you will be able to COPE lol
This was freaking awesome! It's a wonderful time to be a BULLDOG. The best interview ever!
Kirby is so classy!! He gave Josh so much grace after that seriously embarrassing “no show” situation….wow! Josh, you’re lucky. Kirby you are awesome. So classy ⚡️✨
I knew when he left Tuscaloosa to go to Athens that he would have something great going in fairly short order. That was true and should continue at a high level. When you listen to him talk about the sport, the meaning, the importance for the young men he coaches, then it’s easy to see why if you add those qualities to his recruiting abilities that he will continue to have amazing success. Kudos to you Coach Smart !
RTR
Outstanding interview. Thoughtful questions and loved hearing from Coach Smart.
Go Dawgs! Sic Em!
Me and my wife will have to try Hunters Pub soon being were only 45 minutes away.
As a Miami die hard, I gotta say Kirby is one heck of ball coach !
I think the biggest thing Kirby got from Nick was a process that he took and tweaked to make it his own. It does feel like the torch was passed to Kirby.
UGA is in a great spot for a good dynasty run
What in the thanos snap 😂 13:12
From a Georgia tech fan I hate the dawgs but respect this man to the fullest
Great interview Josh!! No one does it better Brother! Go Dawgs!!!
You’re a great interviewer. Very impressive.
Go Dawgs!
JP is the best! Coach Smart is on a mission!
Another great installment of the series. Thanks for doing these - great stuff!
Great interview and interaction between two men. Well done both of you!
I hate how much I love Kirby, because I almost always root against Georgia lol. He’s a blessing to the sport and shoutout to JP for the type of interview us former players really wanna hear.
Great job Josh !
9:00 just listen. Not a Georgia fan but respect Kirby for speaking out.
great interview great questions
Love your show and love the Georgia Bulldawgs!!!!
Thanks for this one Josh!
Thanks for access. Awesome interview.
As a Vols fan im just here for black shirt Pate
Josh does the best interviews. I think this one ranks up there near the top for sure. Great job Josh Pate.
Just wanted to say love the channel and I live in Cataula ga and grow up in Harris county and I played with tae crowder and taquon Marshall and hunters pub and luke pub are definitely worth the trip ! GO DAWGSS!!
It’s soo cool Josh is from my home town killumbus ga
Great interview! Josh Pate is the best football interviewer I've ever seen.
Great job man! Keep up the good work!
This is now the new standard of what a College Coach is. Now that Nick is gone, Kirby the floor is yours. Well earned.
In Kirby we trust
Thank you Josh
That’s my coach
my favorite JP. i look forward to every show.
So proud to call myself a Dawg!!
This was excellent JP. It’s obvious why a gentleman like Kirby is so successful. Both of you guys are true professionals of your craft.
Josh. Great stuff. Keep it up!!!
I never realized how jacked Josh is. Dude could lineup at linebacker right now.
Appreciate the Columbus shout outs Josh! Great interview
Really great interview. Hope to see one of these with Venables one day
Man JP you’re looking great physique man is looking great and you’re getting better and better just one of the best interviewers in college football
We need to get you over to Blacksburg VA Brent Pry and the boys are going to work!!!
@11:04 when Kirby said “when it came, it came fast” I know the first thing that popped up in Josh’s head was: “IMMUNITY”
😂😂😂
Go Dawgs!
Nice work dude. Kirby is extremely likable. Also, his son is a stud 12u travel ball player. Whom’st among us didn’t know that? That’s neither here nor there.
Two greats doing what they do best…JP interviewing and conversing and then Kirby as a coach…
Where did you get that shirt Josh ?
FightOn FightOn FightOn
"Great culture of leadership" translates to 2 people dying in a DUI.
Go Dawgs Coach Smart
Go Dawgs
Seems like Josh has practiced this kind d thing.
AWESOME CONTENT !!!!
Kirby is a Dynamo and a C.F. coaching ROCK STAR !!! 💯💯
Kudos Josh Pate for continuing to evolve as an interviewer and simplifying 'coach speak' to layman's terms. I love that you don't have a gimmick like a Pat McAfee or a gimmicky Chris Berman. Both those guys are decent in their own right, but they're more for the casual fan rather than us knowledgeable football guys who are heavily invested in our teams and C.F. as a whole. My only knock on you is that you're not as big of a U.G.A. fan as you should be considering you were blessed enough to be Georgia born and bred. I'll give you a pass, though, since nobody's perfect. 😉
GO🎉 DAWGS ‼️
GO DAWGS!!!!! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Geaux dawgs
Kirby learned so much from saban and added his own too. I agree student players should have to stay a minimum of two full calendar years at their original school before they can transfer, make them work before they look to see if it’s greener on the other side
Kirby better open up that check book - buying players is legal now - its the wild wild west - lets spend some of that money!
In other interviews it was made clear that at most of the big programs it's the players that stay more than a year and start are the ones that get paid the most. They haven't been paying many players to play for a year like the smaller teams cause their brand still attracts players
You have your occasional star that gets a check but it's becoming more rare thank God
why did you ghost kirby two years ago? The rage from that built up within Kirby and led them to 2 national championships
Kang Kirby! Go Dawgs!
Josh Pate looks like Feyd Rautha (compliment)
Go Georgia Bulldogs from Augusta Georgia 🏈🏈🏈

Big time
Josh Pate has a very high ceiling
Hunter’s Pub is my spot, sucks Luke’s is gone now though
Low key glad he leaves the county on vacation to disconnect from everything
Go DAWGS!!
Listen to what he says about not knowing what your roster looks like from year to year. THIS is what is going to run our great coaches from college football. People like Saban, Kirby, Sark ect. are uber organized PEOPLE! Them not knowing who they can and can't develop is going to weigh on them. Think about...
Remember when South Carolina almost hired Kirby.............. man what could have been.
Think I'll be going to Hunters Pub.
Anyone who is trying to smear Kirby, is a brain dead homer!!!
Kirby is the best coach in football now!
Nick is still the goat, but Kirby is the best now!
