Georgia football is out of control. Is Kirby Smart doing enough to stop it?

from SEC Football Unfiltered · host SEC Football Unfiltered

Georgia football navigates another offseason marred by player disciplinary issues. The latest: Wide receiver Rara Thomas faces a felony charge of child cruelty and multiple counts of family violence after his arrest last week. Thomas also got cited for three traffic incidents this offseason, adding to Georgia’s string of dangerous driving. Georgia suspended Thomas from the team indefinitely. But, is Smart doing enough to slow Georgia's off-the-field incidents that keep piling up? And, could these disciplinary issues affect Georgia’s on-field performance? On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams weigh in on the situation at Georgia. The hosts say Smart should levy more discipline. Start by dismissing Thomas from the program. In reality, Smart probably won't do much. Coaches have little incentive to be heavy-handed with player discipline. If a coach dismisses an athlete, he can transfer to a conference rival in no time. Plus, there’s no evidence that Georgia's off-field issues hamper the on-field product. Maybe college football would be better served by conferences handling player discipline, rather than coaches and institutions. Later in the episode, a look at Mark Stoops' blistering comments about Kentucky football’s NIL efforts. To hear Stoops tell it, UK is a shoestring operation run by an exhausted coach.
