Ehh.....I don't know about this one. Has the guy really proved himself yet? Buddy didn't even win the conference last year, and according to Florida State fans, he only beat them by 60 in the Bowl Game this year because they sat their starters. Plus, if you really think about it, he's a Jameson Williams injury and Marvin Harrison Jr imissed targeting call away from having zero National Championships...

Alright I can't even try and troll on this one, even though what I said is actually probably factually correct. But the fact of the matter is this motherfucker is 94-16 as a head ball coach at Georgia, has 6 SEC East Titles, and 2 SEC / National Championships. And after the most recent draft, in which he had two more 1st round draft picks, he now has more first rounders (17) than losses (16) in his 8 years at Georgia. Money well spent by Georgia.

Speaking of money spent by Georgia, the AD also received a contract extension and raise today:

I love this dynamic so much. In what world does the employee make 10x more than the boss? I mean, I guess it probably happens in some talent based businesses, but point being, how do you boss around a guy that's infinitely more important than you? If Josh Brooks says something, and Kirby Smart says the other, the school is siding with Coach. So if Josh Brooks sees Kirby Smart does something wrong, he does…..what exactly? Just interesting.

Anyways, congrats on a well-deserved pay increase, Kirby. Live reaction of the now #2 highest paid college football coach:
