According to one list, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is the best head coach in college football.
247Sports named the best 35 head coaches ahead of the 2023 season, placing Smart at the top.
Smart has an outstanding 84.4 percent winning percentage (81-15) during his seven seasons with the Bulldogs. The 47-year-old has also led the university to back-to-back national championships.
“Kirby Smart is getting the Saban treatment now given what he’s building at Georgia, an annual monster at the front of the annual national championship hunt,” Brad Crawford of 247 Sports wrote. “With one of the nation’s most talented rosters, the Bulldogs ran roughshod through SEC play last fall and destroyed TCU en route to their second consecutive title.
“Smart has done this each of the past two years with a former walk-on at quarterback in Stetson Bennett, and last season’s team didn’t missed a beat after replacing 15 NFL Draft picks from the juggernaut 2021 team. Incredible display of coaching from one of the nation’s best. A three-peat would be sweet.”
Alabama’s Nick Saban, considered by many to be the greatest college head coach of all-time, checked in second on the list.
