Yes, you heard that right. Some fans are actually calling for him to face a suspension after an incident involving Mississippi State's quarterback Michael Van Buren. Late in the fourth quarter, Smart, in a rush to reach his defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, accidentally ran into Van Buren. Although it was unintentional, the moment has sparked debate, with some fans suggesting a suspension for the Georgia head coach over the incident.
After the game, Kirby Smart addressed the situation, saying, "I think I was going after Schumann; I was trying to get Schumann's attention. We were trying to change personnel. I think it’s the play they came over to our sideline, and I was just trying to get Schumann’s attention. But, no, I don’t really remember it." His comments reflect the hectic nature of the moment and emphasize that his focus was on coordinating the defense rather than the collision with Van Buren.
Some college football fans are indeed calling for a suspension for Kirby Smart following the incident with Mississippi State's quarterback. One fan expressed their outrage on social media, stating, "Kirby Smart pushing this player is not a good look at all. @ugaathletics should absolutely suspend him for the Texas game. Man, there are literally not enough words for how bad this is." Another fan echoed this sentiment, saying, "Kirby Smart has to be suspended for shoving an opposing player like he did last night for Georgia. Has to. Completely uncalled for." These reactions highlight the passionate responses from fans regarding the incident.
However, I don't think Kirby Smart should be suspended; this is ridiculous. The incident was purely accidental—Smart was just trying to reach his coach to ensure the next play was executed properly. This seems like an attempt by haters to get him suspended, hoping it would put Georgia at a disadvantage for the upcoming UGA vs. Texas game. Deep down, they know that Georgia will be ready, and they're just scared that the "monster" will wake up and prove once again why they're considered one of the best teams in the country.
