Twitter reacts to Georgia football coach Kirby Smart's performance against Alabama
In the closing minutes of No. 1 Georgia football's 24-41 loss against Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game, fans took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart.
Chiefly, many fans were questioning Smart's decision to stick with quarterback Stetson Bennett under center despite trailing and at one point throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Bama.

Perhaps Saban deserves more credit than Smart does ire, but that didn't stop the Twitter fingers from pundits and fans alike going after Georgia's coach.
Maybe this works out, but: Kirby doesn't have great feel for when to gamble and when not to gamble.

Kirby Smart feels like Will Muschamp with better players

I would say that Kirby deserves the benefit of the doubt for knowing who his best QB is, but he had Justin Fields hold a clipboard behind Jake Fromm for an entire year, so his judgment is in some question here

Kirby Smart has recruited multiple 5-stars at every single position and he’s gonna go down letting a walk-on QB get killed in the biggest game of the season.

Now is the time for Kirby Smart to get JT Daniels in, and start getting him some reps for the playoff.
I don't know if they can win a title with Daniels under center.
But I know they can't win one with Stetson Bennett at QB— Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) December 5, 2021
Kirby smart played Jake fromm over Justin fields and now played former walk on Stetson Bennet over 5 star jt daniels lmao
