Kirby Smart: 3

For the last five or so years under Mark Richt, Georgia was a divided fanbase. Half of the Bulldog nation appreciated Richt while the other half wanted him gone.

Smart has united the fanbase. It started with 93K Day last spring and continued on the recruiting trail. But the 8-5 season was not what Bulldog fans had in mind.

If Georgia doesn’t take a step forward in 2017, you’ll see that seat get much hotter next year, fairly or unfairly.
