Irish fan here. Praying for Kirby and the entire Smart family. So sad to hear this. Kirby being able to function at all in the Sugar Bowl is a testament of his fortitude. Guy is a DGD.
Thanks, both teams were going through something something with the terrorist attack, we all just weren't fully aware of what the Smart family was going through. We wish ND the best and you have a great team, go get em!!
I agree man..I can't imagine having to coach a playoff game knowing your father and hero was dying in the hospital on top of the terror attack where a uga student was hurt. Dude is tough.
Im so sorry coach smart I can’t imagine the pain of losing a father. My prayers are with you and your family.from a bama fan I’m so proud of what you accomplished and greatful for the huge part you played in our program
Prayers go out to the Smart family. Coach Sonny Smart will be remembered fondly for many years. My coaches taught me more than most of my teachers ever did and I'm still very close to them.
Thoughts, prayers, and love coming from our family to the Smart family. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us as well, Dean -- great insight on a life well-lived and well-loved.
I hope as a fan base we can come past all this complaining and moaning about what happened this season with the Georgia football team, this should show you that there are things in life that's a lot more important than winning a football game, I just lost my mom so I know exactly how someone feels right now especially someone like Kirby who was so close to his father, my prayers and condolences all go out to the smart family..
Hello Dean this is Robert L Blackmon . I'm a life long dawg fan. Dooley and on. God and family is most important with this I say God bless coach smart and family my deepest sympathy and comfort love Yall.
I also want to say thank you Dean for this, you have talked about all of this and the family. It shows compassion and I appreciate everything you have said including some of Sonny’s past history ❤
Many prayers for Kirby and family🙏🙏🙏Words cannot even begin to express the loss of a parent😢I think Kirby is the best coach and a good man and I know his dad was so very proud of him! My heart just goes out to them! I hope and pray Kirby will take time to heal from this. Just know Kirby that many are praying for you and your family🙏🙏🙏
Condolences to the Smart family. This was a tough season, but they are just games. God and family are always first. Cherish them while they’re here. We will be back on top again. Prayers for the family and loved ones. Go Dawgs.
