As Bama fans we respect the heck out of Georgia. This is not hatred like Auburn or LSU. Ton of respect for Kirby Smart. Roll Tide!
I would hope it’s mostly the same going the other way. I’m a UGA fan and I know a lot of us will say we hate Bama, but it’s different than our other rivals. With Florida and Auburn I’ll unconditionally root against them unless them winning would help the Dawgs. With Bama, I just have so much respect for Saban that I can’t hate him or Bama. It definitely hurts that y’all have been the primary obstacle between UGA and a Natty, but it’s more respect and jealousy than pure hate. Best of luck tomorrow, should be a killer game.
@@NickOnFire1490 Truedat. I generally despise Auburn and LSU and to a lesser extent Tennessee. I generally will root for LSU during the bowl season but I have a hard time rooting for Auburn under any circumstances.
Go Dawgs
I often come back and revisit these interviews and one thing about it between Nick and Kirby, it's almost like a bromance. Their absolutely head over heels for each other, not in that way but like in a football type way 😂
Bama vs Georgia....win or lose EVERYONE wins.....CLEARLY THE TWO BEST TEAMS ALL YEAR and CONFIRMS THE SEC IS THE VERY BEST CONFERENCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL....
Thank you Coach Saban for teaching our awesome coach. Much respect to BAMA and the process. Go Dawgs
These 2 will be the greatest coaching matchup/coaches during this era in SEC history.
Not Kirby Smart can't get a win he hasn't bet Nick Saban yet.
Oh yea......Kirby Dumb
cant call it the greatest matchup in SEC history when Kirby hasnt won a single game against Bama. I think hes lik 0-5? 0-7? against Saban lol
@@xmobkilla9067 he beat him now what u gotta say 🤡
@@tkkccarter who dumb 🤡🤡
Love that Kirby calls Saban "coach." Such respect.
Two GOATS here. No doubt about it. Whether you are Tide or DAWGS fan. You have to give up the respect and love to these guys. They do it RIGHT!
I will say this, Both of these teams and coaches are really great. They both teach and recruit and coach the same way. What an interview. very cool.
I miss kirby as our DC
the coach’s perspective is definitely the nucleus of the game. it’s so special to see these two sit down & speak about their respect for one another. The student finally surpasses the master. Go dawgs!!!!!
Georgia fan here. I have ALWAYS feared and respected Nick Saban and Alabama. They are true champions. I truly want the Bulldogs to win this game, but it will take everything our guys have to beat the Tide. Mad respect for the Tide. Go Dawgs!
It's like a father and son interview. lol Go Dawgs!
Yea the son beat the father 🤡
@@yrnsheik4451 Yes indeed. Student becomes the master. Go Dawgs!
If Georgia can’t stop Bryce, it will be extremely difficult to win this thing! UGA needs this game. hope they can pull it out, GO DAWGS.
How many picks will Stetson throw?
@@user-ns8si5tg7k 3 TDs 0 Picks Bryce Young 1 TD 2 INTs
@@non-biasedfalconfan7202 what's your assessment of the falcons my good sir
@@wknight5595 He was almost exactly right. Bennet 2TD, 0 INT. Bryce 1 TD, 2INT. Go Dawgs.
Great coaches..
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! I SOO RESPECT How much RESPECT Saban shows to the team and Coach he is playing against!!! THAT is one of the reasons HE is the GOAT!!
ROLL TIDE! It’s crazy this man is so loved by us, he killed our happiness last year but as a bama fan I was immediately happy for him after the game and his team. The competition and the games have been awesome, us bama fans don’t hate Georgia like we do UT or LSU or Auburn. ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Look it Saban calm and collected; Kirby looks tense grabbing sofa with both hands 😅
We will be fine tho…………… right? 😅……………….🥲…………🥺…,😭
I don't think that at all, Kirby's been in this situation plenty of times with Bama!
@@thumbsaloft and he hasn’t won one single game yet. Even with one win tomorrow he will not want to play Alabama again. 😅
@@GruneD I think he meant that Kirby’s been in plenty of title games at Bama as the DC.
Sabans been there plenty of times though lol Kirby is still getting his feet wet
This game can go either way. Wouldn't be surprised if GA won.
My money is on Georgia and Head Coach Kirby Smart to take the National Title.
Wouldn’t put money in it. Have you been the past decade
Seen*
Bad move playa!!!Just some friendly advice......
UGA is taking it this time
@@ChristianGP don't say that man .. the past decade don't matter cause this is now. Past is the past .
Let's go Dawgs‼️
as a bama fan, i dread playing UGA the most and respect them the most
3:59 "copy my homework but don't make it look obvious "
Saban looked content until he asked Kirby about that trophy at the end of the video lol
Alabama all the way long as the O line injuries don't kill us. RTR
He trained Kirby!
Dang good game was happy to win but it could have been Bama ,I think we wanted it more.
That's Nick Saban 2.0
These aren't the same two teams who played each other in Atlanta 5 weeks ago. Bama's endured too many injuries in the meantime, and UGA is more focused and motivated this time around. All UGA has to do is play with more intensity and not repeat the same mistakes of the SEC Championship game and they'll win because- God, I can't believe I'm saying this -they're actually the better team. They've been the better team all year. God, you have no idea how much it pains me to have to say this.... We just have too many young guys being asked to step up and fill roles they're probably not ready to fill just yet for the biggest challenge we'll face all year.
Lmaooooo....you sound like a fool.....Injuries come & go. Theae ate Most Def the same teams. HOLD YOUR L from the SEC Championship.....be ready to hold your 2nd L! Bama has been disrespected time & time again......BE READY!
Football is about who wants it more that day so I definitely agree
@@rubinharrison6789 no...football is not about a want. Tf? Football is about execution! Who put their players in a position to be successful against the other. Period!
@@ke-wayLA6060 come back after Georgia wins little buddy 😊
@@hunterdavismusic5316 Listening to you UGA fans never gets old. You are the most entertaining lil weirdos I've ever seen. Hold your L.......nuff said. 🤦🏽♂️
UGA needs to stop slowing down after the first half, that’ll win them the game, mean while BAMA needs to hit the gas from the start since they always have a slow start, that’ll win them the game.
Monday nite will officially be the "passing of the torch" from nicki to Kiirby when UGA Kirbystomps bamer!! GO DAWGS!!
You're DELUSIONAL! If Georgia happens to win they will have won a Championship, no torch is passed! Where do you guys get this stuff? It's one championship in one season, Bama would be right back next Season!
@@thumbsaloft Whats your point? Of course Im delusional, I'm a UGA fan!! My statement means that if CKS beats Saban then it's the end of one dynasty and the beginning of another. UGA will most likely be right back in the playoff mix next year too. Even if saban wins another title after this year, his days are numbered, and he will be leaving at some point. I doubt it's while Young is there but still, he is on the way out, you cant deny he's not at the END of his coaching career. GO DAWGS!!
@@thumbsaloft yeah right 😂 let’s just say if Georgia does win it Alabama will just come back next year😂. Fun fact since Nick Saban started coaching at Alabama every class he recruited has won at least one national championship. Let that sink in lol we won the national championship last year and we are right back for it this year. So regardless of what happens tomorrow Alabama will be right back for it in the future lol Roll Tide!!
@@tlukewinder6433 Alabama has already snatched the SEC championship from Georgia, ruined their undefeated season, stopped the talk about one of the best defensive teams ever, won a Heisman because of Georgia and left the state of Georgia shell-shocked. And you Georgia fans still talking. Let's eat Alabama! Roll Tide Roll
@@oscarevans3966 BUT.... if UGA beats bama and does it convincingly, ALL of those narratives will be right back in play- best def ever, nobody will remember UGA didnt win sec title when they win the national title. If bama wins then they do, but if UGA wins this, I can see the beginning of the end for saban. The media will push that narrative also.
Good job to the Georgia goats ( their original mascot)
Kirby you need to call the game aggressive on both sides.
You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need ROLL TIDE ROLL !!!
i just dont trust ga with stetson bennett as their qb.
Nobody does. Not even UGA fans lmao
Looked good vs #2
He is busy dating Hope, if you have seen SEC shorts
If Stetson throws 1 pick Kirby needs to put in JT
@@philmcrackinnow it was Michigan 😂
Ima Buckeye loyal BigTen guy BUT I dont trust any SEC team against Bama unless its LSU when they're good. I want to take UGA🤣 but Saban is just so good against Kirby he is inside his head. Im taking Bama in a close one simply because I don't trust UGAs style of play when they have to play Bama.
LMAOO
My money ON BAMA RTR
Nick probably slid the bag to Kirby after this interview. We already know who’s winning😩
Kirby beat Saban even in this interview!
I have more appreciation for Kirby.
How many tears will little Kirby shed tonight 😂
A lot after a emotional big national championship win
@@kevinnorton7662 yea whatever, 😂 second half is choke time for ga as they always do …. They should’ve kept their original mascot “a goat” < fact not joking
@@theoriginalBlue72 lmao look who’s crying now
@@cjdonahoo101 yea , I hear ya 🤣 at least it’s in the sec hats off to ya …
@@cjdonahoo101 little Nicky is
Bama will improve on what they did in sec title game! Saban respects kirby as I do...However, Saban makes in game decisions better than most coaches, even kirby. This will determine the end result of this Title Game...RTR...34-17 BAMA!
Yikes...
Because Saban did
Yo…
How about we regulate coaching salaries.
For what?
If you're insinuating that's why Coach Saban is still at Bama you're sorely mistaken if you don't think other universities offered him the same if not more. He fully bought into the traditions, the passion and the potential to be the greatest there ever was with a historic and storied program. If it was just salary he wouldn't have been in Tuscaloosa for 15 years and most likely till he retires or dies on the sideline. Most likely the same for Coach Smart if allowed he will probably never leave Georgia.
Out of shape too
Elephants
Too bad the working ppl won’t be able to watch it
First!
They better start jt Daniels if they want to beat bama
Too late now
JT is less prepared to face Alabama and this particular time.....you can try it but it will blow up in the face. Alabama is built for this type of game.....
@@crobinsonnc AL is gonna lose this time
No Stetson is the guy that will win it for them trust me.
@@crobinsonnc JT is an elite talent, he doesn’t care who the opponent is.
These two are tired of each other🤦🏾♀️
They’re really close so I doubt it
ABSOLUTE BULL! They totally respect each other!
Nick took Kirby everywhere (NFL and College) and made him the highest paid coordinator at the time. I highly doubt they are tired of each other.
Kirby looks out of place
I have no respect for Ga. They are very arrogant. Smart is a guy who thinks he doesn’t have to work for anything it should be given to him. Nick very respectful and humble. Smart NOT.
youre an idiot
ok let say this the only people watching the title game will be SEC fans and genral college football fans, Out of solidarity most Big 10, Big 12, ACC, and Pac10 fans won't be watching the title game. If you ask most of the other major conferences in the NCAA the conference they say they hate the most is the SEC and especially the fans which are the ones who watch the games
That's sad because it shows they're not really COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS! Real fans love the game no matter who's playing. and especially when it's the two best teams in the nation! They should love witnessing GREATNESS!
Out of solidarity? Lmao. Don't suck.
Nick Saben….meh. Overrated
Yea not like he created one of the greatest dynasties ever
@@Alex20272 he did lil hater your a Vanderbilt fan.
Justin Perry’s meh overrated
He just trolling...
Your Stupidity is comical
That's 2 crooked political recruiting machines right there. College football is tainted.
