Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is already getting flamed on social media for putting out an unnecessary comment on Aggie football legend, Johnny Manziel.
Smart should've known better than to criticize a Heisman Trophy winner, and of course Manziel didn't lead his team to a national championship, Smart is an adult, and he knows better than to just trash one of the most entertaining college football players to ever exist.
Smart should be the last person to talk about anything controversial with opposing players, as he's had controversy over his head for years now.
Smart should focus on disciplining his own players rather take shots at opponents
Smart's program has had no shortage of players with off-the-field issues over the past few years, and social media was quick to identify the hypocrisy.
I'm kinda surprised Kirby Smart is going after Johnny Manzeil considering the number of Georgia football players who've had driving issues, some involving DUIs

This is Smart's fault for starting the fire, as he must've known that this would've backfired against him. This also brings a question of why Smart even mentioned Manziel anyway, as he's been out of college football for over a decade now.
901 yards and 7 TDs in two games plus a win. Kirby still salty all these years later. https://t.co/E1qeBHjL7S

In terms of Smart's players that have gone through personal things the past few years, it's easy to for anybody to say that young people make mistakes, and mistakes should be something that everybody should learn and grow from.
This was out of the blue and Smart should be thinking about his new recruits rather than trying to start something with a former Heisman Trophy winner. It's one of the golden rules of growing up, think before you speak, that's the lesson Smart should learn here.
