The Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart recently shared a hilarious story about former Alabama Crimson Tide head Nick Saban. Smart told his story on the ESPN’s “Marty & McGee” show.

“What story can you share with us about the best lesson that he (Nick Saban) taught you?” asked Marty Smith.

“We were sitting in a staff meeting once,” said Kirby Smart. “Nick was asking the staff ‘if we thought any of the players were tired? Like we look tired. Do you all think the legs are tired? You think they are tired?’ He’s asking and asking.”

“Nobody is really saying anything.” Smart continued. “And this coach beside me starts drawing a little figure. And I thought it looked like a United States map. And I said ‘what is that?’ He said ‘that is a pork chop.’ He said ‘he’s dangling a pork chop to see if one of y’all will bite on that pork chop.'”

“And I didn’t say a word,” exclaimed Smart. “And we had a young coach that went ‘yeah, coach, I think their legs are tired.’ Man, he (Saban) went off.”

Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has earned the respect of Nick Saban. The Bulldogs defeated Alabama in a national championship. This year, Saban predicts that Georgia will beat the Texas Longhorns in the SEC championship game.
