Do Kirby Smart & Georgia have CULTURE PROBLEM after Trevor Etienne arrested for DUI? | SNAPS

Does Kirby Smart have a problem hey what's going on thank you so much for watching it would mean the world to us if you could just scroll down like hit the Subscribe button for the snaps YouTube channel goes a long way towards helping us out now let's dive into some college football over the weekend um Georgia running back Trevor etn booked on a DUI and other charges there in Athens Georgia and this we're not here to beat Trevor up we're not here to you know scold him and this isn't Game of Thrones we're going to be yelling Shan Shame Shame Shame Shame and ringing the bell at him as he walks through the town like that's not it but georg's had some issues over the past couple years we we've known from the major accident after the first national championship that unfortunately cost the lives of some young individuals to other DUIs and speeding uh tickets that have risen over the past couple years what is does Kirby have a problem how should Kirby handle it if if if if you're in his shoes right now after everything that has kind of folded after the past couple years there in Athens you know I think it's just the nature of what it was that is probably setting off all the alarms just for the reasons you just said the tragedy that George has experienced in this exact same sector of of issues um if it was academic Integrity you'd say oh that's a bad look that's bad by Trevor etn but you know Georgia and I don't know if it makes the same kind of headlines as it does since it's involving a vehicle I think it's also important to remember here like Trev tenen just got to Athens like there's you know a lot of talk around does Georgia have a culture problem in Kirby smartan headlines with vehicles and and issues with those and things like that um like he's been on the team for all of what like 15 minutes and so I think there's something to be said for like acclimating to a culture acclimating to a locker room hey here's how we do things we do this we don't do this hey really steer clear of this kind of thing that's landed Us in some trouble before we have a history here so I think that's probably worth noting contextually for this whole thing does Kirby Smart have a culture problem I have a hard time buying into that narrative just by how he operates and how successful George has been I will say I don't think you can have a real deep-seated culture issue and win as much as Georgia has over the last couple of years I 100 Corby is doing everything that he needs to do to make sure those guys to understand how to be a a essentially a grown-up a man both on and off the field and that means like not driving like an idiot around you know the classic City not going over the speed limit not drinking ding like you can only do so much and and I'm not going to sit here once again and ring the bell and yell Shame Shame Shame when I I did some bad things and not super bad but I did some stupid things when I was in college in Athens like it's a fun place for those that have been to Athens those that have been to Classic City you know it's a damn good time uh it's a party 365 7 days a week hell I had teammates that would go out every single night of the week in the offseason and some pretty big- time stars that had big- time NFL careers we're going out every single night in Athens Georgia it's a really good time and here's my question I don't know what you do though I don't I really know what you do though no yeah I mean well that that's sort of my question is like and and you've obviously seen this firsthand like coaches obviously send the message and set the standard and all that but really Can you police it within the locker room it's okay can you police it within the locker room like if you're the quarterback of that Georgia team or you're leader in that locker room is it something where you pull Trevor aside and say hey man we're not down on you this is not shame shame shame like you just mentioned but at the same time here's the standard here's what you have to be accountable to like how much policing goes on within the lock room and how much you know is responsible by those guys to get that done well and I agree I think that that there has to be some leadership from the players at some point because that we've all been in in rooms with the adult is saying the same message over and over and over again and and you kind of sit there and you know Kirby can bring in another speaker and someone can tell this incredible story of a tragedy that occurred because of drinking and driving or driving too fast but and I'm not saying like the kids are numb to it but there does get to a point we've all been there where the adult says the same message the 10th 11 12 all time and it kind of goes right over your head you need your peers kind of locking you up and saying hey man like this is who we are we don't do this but I do think that there is something that could be done from a coaching standpoint and and I don't know if Kirby's gotten to this point yet or if you think this would work but at what point do you say I don't care if you're a superstar or not you're gone or you're suspended you know like do you send that message if hey Georgia plays Clemson week one etn was our big get this offseason do you suspend etn for the first game of the season like have they got to that point where Kirby does need to suspend someone or kick someone off of the team to get the message through or is that too much I think for p offenders that's probably worth doing I don't know I love Nick Sabin stance on it when he gave his famous speech about how he handled Musa Muhammad when he was at Michigan State basically saying if I kick this kid off the team like there's no more oversight from the adults within our football team or our coaching staff to like help him get better so I prob would really steer as far clear from the kick AIT off the team practice as I could but I do think suspension especially if we have another situation with a Georgia football player that's gone about this like if Trevor etn gets in trouble again it's like hey man you messed up one time it happens If it happens again Athens is Athens you're a kid who I have to believe is is probably doing just fine in the nil Department have a lot of things at your fingertips but if it happens again like we got to really start to communicate some consequences not just inter but also externally so if happens again I'd have an issue but again I think Trevor etn having been there for a cup of coffee maybe make sure he understands where we're at you know culturally standard wise and kind of set the tone that way within the locker room well and I will say this like I think Georgia's done a good job this SE this offseason of really being pretty quiet like Ohio State's getting in all the headlines they're like kind of the the sexy team with the Highwood chip and some of the guys that got in the transfer portal obviously a lot of attention on Alabama there's going to be a lot of attention on Texas like feel like Georgia's been kind of right where you know Kirby Smart wants them like very quiet very hush hush no one's really pumping them up too much everyone knows their Elite and everyone kind of knows that hey they're going to be contenders but it hasn't really bid the big headlines it kind of just you know Fallen back a little bit which is crazy for a team that's won two of the past three national championships to not be kind of the main focal point in the offseason uh and now you get the one time you are it's because of a bad thing with etn so I'm with you I'm I'm not suspending etn for the first game not kicking him off the team but it is a listen it's a mark against your record man and and hopefully the message just does not go right over the guy head going forward when Kirby does sit them down I'm sure today reiterating how we handle our both on and off the field at the University of Georgia so we'll see we'll see man all right let's move on to the next thing uh moving out west a man who does make a l headlines is Dion Sanders Dion uh said on a podcast I believe it was last week week that his son shadur and and Travis in his mind he already knows where those guys are going to go to the NFL they're not cold which Hey listen I I don't want to play in the cold either especially I'm the quarterback don't want to play in the cold um but essentially that I'm going to dictate where those two end up going in the NFL which we've seen it happen once with Eli Manning a long long time ago what two decades ago Eli Manning said I'm not going to San Diego don't even think about picking me the trader occurred he ends up in New York uh Philip goes to to to to San Diego all that can you can you go to the NFL as for Dion and say here are four teams and these are the only four teams that could draft my son can you do that really even you you're Deon Sanders like is is it too much is he crossing the line here do we even know who like is GNA be in the top for the NFL draft next year like I there's just there's a lot of variables here that it seems like Dion is really trying to nail down and I guess you could probably throw a stone and hit one or two of those teams the other thing I would say is if he's talking about cold weather being a factor they currently play football in Boulder Colorado that was the job he took that was where he took his son that was where he took Travis Hunter like if cold weather was a factor for success in football like I would maybe look back at the track record as to where they're at right now the other thing I would say here with Deion Sanders and shadur and Travis like I totally get the thought process behind how I want what's best for them these guys one is a son to me one's like a son to me tons of I understand that but I also think like we're starting to kind of hear a little bit of Rumblings around Caleb Williams and how involved his dad is and how NFL teams feel about that like if you're lukewarm on Caleb Williams dad being involved how do you feel as an NFL organization around Dion Sanders telling you hey you're not going here he's not picking him here so I mean coach Prime does things his way and that's why I think to a degree he's had the success that he's had but if I'm an NFL team I I don't know how I feel about that one if I'm drafting shador Sanders I'm drafting his dad along with it I think that's it's a lot to draft there's a lot that goes with with drafting one for those guys
