On December 6, 2015, Smart returned to his alma mater as head football coach at the University of Georgia. He was tasked with revitalizing the program and has since led the Bulldogs to multiple College Football Playoff appearances and national championship contention.
While serving as Alabama’s defensive coordinator, Smart received national recognition for his coaching excellence. He won the Broyles Award on December 8, 2009, honoring the best assistant coach in college football, becoming the first Alabama assistant to receive the accolade. In 2012, he was named AFCA FBS Assistant Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Broyles Award again in 2015. His reputation as one of the nation’s top defensive minds remains firmly established.
Smart married Mary Beth Lycett in 2006. A former standout basketball player, Lycett was named Miss Georgia Basketball in her senior year at Morrow High School and later attended the University of Georgia. The couple has three children: twins Weston and Julia, born on February 8, 2008, and Andrew, born on May 25, 2012.
The family resides in Athens, Georgia, where Kirby Smart continues his role as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs. Mary Beth Smart is actively involved in community and charitable initiatives. Contrary to earlier claims, the Smarts do not currently live in Florida, and Mary Beth Smart is not a mathematics teacher at Cooper City High School.
According to reports, Kirby Smart signed a six-year contract in 2016 with an annual salary of $3.5 million. His compensation has since increased with contract extensions reflecting his program's success. While his exact net worth is not publicly confirmed, it is estimated to be in the multi-million-dollar range due to his coaching salary and endorsements.
