If there's one thing you learn very quickly in dealing with Kirby Smart, it's that he's an in-the-moment type of guy.

He does not like answering hypothetical questions, preferring instead to focus on the task at hand.

Smart's also a man who does not put a lot of stock in the past, be it his record in four years as Georgia’s head coach, or questions like the one posed to him during Monday’s Zoom session with reporters.

The question was about the fact that Alabama head coach Nick Saban is 21-0 against his former assistants, including 2-0 against Smart after close wins in the 2017 National Championship and the 2018 SEC Championship, both in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
