“You gotta give a guy like Kirby credit. When you have all that time to sit at home watching us play on TV in the playoffs, when you don’t take care of business. But congratulations on the SEC and the championship. That’s awesome. We were 5-0 against the SEC. I don’t know what

They don't call him King Kirby for nothin' 🤣 #GoDawgs

Wouldn't be a complete picture without the rebuttal...clearly these two enjoy each other's company. #GoDawgs

It should not be overlooked that both Kirby and Cristobal took time to dunk on Florida while sitting in Gainesville #UGA #TheU DawgNation

Kirby Smart to Mario Cristobal - “You probably oughta spend some time with Steve Spurrier because he won more conference championships at Duke than you have at Miami.” 😬
