Smart: Current Georgia Team Lacks Talent of Past Alabama Crews

0:00It's April 30th. This is Birmingham News Today, driven by AI. Kirby's smart just led Georgia to the SEC Championship in 2025, but he's straight up saying this squad doesn't stack up talent-wise to his. Best teams from back in the day. He spent years as defensive coordinator at Alabama from 2008 to 15, racking up four national titles in 2009, 20. 11, 2012, and 2015 under Nick Sabin then grabbed two more as head coach at Georgia in 2021 and 22. In a recent interview after a golf event in Birmingham, smart broke it down, pointing out his old Alabama crews from 2012 through 15 had. Insane depth that let them dominate practices in games physically. These days, rule changes like the transfer portal and NIL money have spread elite talent thinner across college football, so even top programs can, hoard five star recruits like before. Talent's more even now from big conferences to mid majors, forcing teams to play younger

1:00guys sooner without that veteran bench, but smart still calls. It all relative since they pulled off the SEC win anyway.
