During a conversation with Rece Davis, Smart claimed players making NIL money and the transfer portal are driving the best coaches to the NFL because “they want no part” of it.

You can watch his full comments below.

I hate to sound harsh here, but I really don’t care what Kirby Smart has to say about this issue. If NIL and players transferring is such an issue, then go coach in the NFL!

Leave the college level and go to the NFL. You won’t be missed. If you don’t want to be a part of the college game, then the college game doesn’t want you around.

It’s a fast moving train and everyone, other than maybe Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney, can be replaced. The idea that the sport is going to change to appease multi-millionaire coaches is laughable. That’s simply not going to happen.

Either get with the times, or get the hell out of the way.

Nobody wants to hear a grown man getting paid a king’s ransom to coach whine about the game forcing people out. Save it for someone who cares!
