“It hurts me that he and my mom [Sharon] won’t be here.” Kirby Smart’s father, Sonny, has made it to most of Georgia’s home and big games since his son was hired in 2016. He’ll miss Monday’s CFP title game with health issues, ByPatForde writes
“It hurts me that he and my mom [Sharon] won’t be here,” Kirby Smart said Saturday, offering a rare moment of vulnerability during the impersonal and transactional bustle of CFP media day. “But I know it’s the right decision for him. Nothing worse than watching your parents grow old. It’s like taxes; it’s inevitable. They’re going to get old. And that’s been tough.”
Sonny Smart is more than Kirby’s dad; he was his first coach. Sonny coached high school ball in South Georgia, winning enough games to be inducted into the Decatur County Athletic Hall of Fame three years ago. He also raised a tough, smart, athletic defensive back who played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and has since gone on to lead his alma mater to the pinnacle of college football.
“I’ve certainly evolved from going to coach for other people, but a lot of my core beliefs came from the way he ran our programs in high school.” Several times a year, Bainbridge would drive 60 miles north to the big city of Albany to play games in the municipal stadium there. If Bainbridge’s stadium was home, that was Kirby’s second home.
