College football fans slammed Georgia coach Kirby Smart for giving an excuse on his pedestrian 1-7 record against Alabama. In a postgame interview following the Bulldogs’ 24-21 loss to the Crimson Tide, Smart appeared to be dumbfounded with his team’s losing record against Kalen DeBoer’s side.”Well what’s everyone else’s record? You got it? Me neither…” Smart told Dawgs Central’s Graham Coffey. “I don’t lose sleep over that. Those games have been like championship level games. That’s not going to effect me. I’m going to be happy and go lucky if our team plays well.”Smart’s comments doesn’t sit well with fans, who called out the Georgia coach for not holding himself accountable for the loss.”Loser mindset, time to accept that he just doesn’t have that killer instinct any more, looks like the final years of the Kirby era. Dark times ahead for UGA,” the fan wrote.Regu @Regu69LINKLoser mindset, time to accept that he just doesn’t have that killer instinct any more, looks like the final years of the Kirby era. Dark times ahead for UGAAn avid sports enthusiast felt the statement was arrogant and questioned the two-time national champion coach’s integrity by his inability to take the blame for the loss.Amanda Duncan @alduncan74LINKCrappy arrogant statement. Has he taken any responsibility in this presser?Another fan commented that he can’t accept Smart’s nonchalant reaction over Georgia’s losing record to Alabama. He further questioned the offense for not performing to expectations in the loss.🇺🇸Athena Jade🇺🇸 @athena_jad66928LINKHis answer sucked. That was unacceptable. I can give the defense a pass because they’re young and will improve. The offense really pissed me off tonight. 😤Other fans couldn’t hide their dismay on Smart’s answer toward the questiion. They hurled expletive-laden comments on X to stress their points.Dawgtown Rambler @dawgtownramblerLINKWrong f**king attitude to have. He has his $$$ and his legacy of 2 national championships and he is content with that.Rocco @Rocco24554LINKThis is such a shi**y excuse. No one else in college football has a talent that Georgia does we are not everyone else at least we shouldn’t be.Hardin Chambless @ChamblessHardinLINKSomehow becomes a mental midget against AlabamaThe defeat to Alabama at home broke Georgia’s 33-game home winning streak as Smart couldn’t get past the three-point deficit in the last 18 minutes, despite being given three opportunities to score.Alabama defense exposes Georgia’s crucial missteps in the fourth quarterAlabama’s defensive line was able to stave off Georgia’s attempts to steal the win in Saturday’s marquee clash between SEC rivals.The Crimson Tide’s defense foiled Bulldogs’ running back Cash Jones from scoring at their territory on a fourth-and-1 and prevented a big yardage run midfield in the next possession.Georgia coach Kirby Smart could’ve settled for a field goal to tie the game on fourth-and-1 but he gambled on Jones, who was stopped for a loss by Alabama defender LT Overton.The Bulldogs had another opportunity but on third-and-9, Jones was stuffed again by the Crimson Tide’s d-line for a four-yard loss. This forced Georgia to take a punt and allowed Alabama to keep the ball in the remainder of the game.Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide will seek for their fourth-straight win against Vanderbilt on Oct. 4 while Georgia looks to bounce back from the loss when it locks horns with Kentucky at noon also on Oct. 4.
