After UGA rolled UF this weekend, Smart was asked about the importance of recruiting, and essentially said his job was 25% scouting, 50% recruiting, and 25% coaching.
Here's the full quote (and source):
It's 25 percent evaluation, it's 50 percent recruiting and another 25 percent coaching," Smart said. "But if you don't recruit guys, you don't have a chance. Just go look at the best teams out there. They've got good football players.
The importance of recruiting is well documented, but I don't think I've seen a coach blatantly say that 75% of his job/success happens before the players even step foot on campus.
