“ATHENS, Ga. — In the nine years Paul Finebaum had been interviewing Kirby Smart, this was as animated as Finebaum had seen Smart. They were on set together last month on Georgia’s campus, a day before the Dawgs’ game against Tennessee. It was three days after the College Football Playoff committee had dropped Smart’s team out of the projected field, and Smart was not hiding his disgust.
“He was great on the air. Off the air, he was out of this world. I mean he was genuinely angry,” Finebaum recalled last week. “I appreciated his candor. But it was a remarkable shift, especially the last two years.”
Smart wasn’t done. A night later, he went off on the selection committee again during his ABC postgame interview. And Smart still wasn’t done: A few weeks later, Smart took an unprompted shot — maybe playful, maybe not — at SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who was standing a few feet away.
It has been refreshing for those who want good content. For those who have watched Smart and his sideline antics from afar, it may seem natural.
