Once again, the Georgia football program is making headlines for the wrong reasons following yet another player being arrested for traffic violations.

Since the tragic crash that killed Bulldogs offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy on Jan. 15, 2023, Georgia players have been involved in at least 30 arrests or citations for speeding, reckless driving, or racing, among other violations.

Coach Smart spoke on these incidents prior to the season beginning, saying, “The incidents that we’ve had off the field are not something that that we condone. It’s very unfortunate, disappointing I guess is the best word. I always talk about process and outcomes. I talked about that with wins and losses that we try not to base things on the outcomes with wins and losses. In this situation, the outcomes are very disappointing.”

This situation has moved from a concern, to a problem, to a meme and now to a rallying cry across the country for Kirby Smart to take action. Even members of the media, such as CBS Sports Josh Pate, are coming after the Georgia head coach and his program.

The idea that Kirby Smart has really done nothing to curtail this problem is picking up steam everywhere, and fans are not being kind with their words about an issue that just won't seem to stop for the Dawgs.

The internet never forgets and can sometimes be cruel, but to those on the outside looking in have a point, or have no clue about what's going on?

This will continue to be a topic of discussion as the season goes on, particularly if Georgia makes a deep postseason run with any players involved in these incidents making an impact for the Bulldogs.

It's certain that Kirby Smart will be asked about these arrests after tonight's game against Kentucky, and how he responds or if he even says anything could add fuel to this already blazing fire.
