Georgia looking to shore up defense


Recommended Posts

Georgia Bulldogs officials have offered Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart a multiyear contract that would make him the third-highest paid assistant coach in college football, sources told ESPN.com.

 

Smart, 34, is a former defensive back at Georgia and coached at his alma mater during the 1999 and 2005 seasons. He has been a member of Nick Saban's coaching staffs for all but one season since 2006.

 

A source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com that Smart hadn't yet made a decision as of Sunday morning. The source said Alabama officials have told Smart they would "do everything necessary to keep him."

 

Sources told ESPN.com that Georgia has offered Smart a contract worth more than $700,000 annually. It is believed Georgia's offer is at least a three-year contract.
