During SEC Media Days, Georgia Bulldogs football coach Kirby Smart appeared on the "Marty & McGee" show on SEC Network. The segment featuring Smart aired on Monday, with the Georgia coach discussing everything from quarterback Jake Fromm to his attitude on the field.

It turns out that the intensity Smart carries on the field sometimes transfers to his life at home with his wife and three children.

"It embodies everything we are," Smart said about his competitive attitude. "Whether we're playing Spades around the house, pickup basketball, whiffle ball on the beach, we're going to get after it. We play to win in that household...when you come in our house you have to play by our rules. So we're big Joker, little Joker we have em all in there. With the right people over, we'll play deuce of diamonds. We like to play bags, meaning if you get too many books and you go bags that's going to cost you because you get 10 back when you have that. It's extremely competitive and there's a few cards slapped on the table when we play Spades. Little bit of smack talk. Just a little bit."

Fromm has been a useful asset in Smart's quest to develop the program's culture. The third-year starter has natural intangibles on the field and in the locker room.

"He's grown," Smart said about Fromm. "First of all he came in with a strong faith and belief in Jesus Christ. He also came in with very strong leadership qualities. And he's very confident in his skin. That's what makes me most proud of him. He is who he is every day."

Fromm was able to step in a starting role as a true freshman after an injury to former 247Sports Composite five-star recruit Jacob Eason, now at Washington. Another five-star recruit, likely Ohio State 2019 starter Justin Fields, transferred after one season as Fromm's backup.

"I think an injury happened to Jacob and Jake took advantage of it," Smart said. "But let's give Jacob a lot of credit, because he handled things with class and dignity the right way. And then Justin came in in a really tough situation behind a really good player. And Justin's extremely talented, but I think both those guys made the decisions they made. Jake controls what he can control. He can't control what those guys do. He can control what he does, which is be a good leader, be a good person. We wish both of those guys nothing but the best, and I think both of those guys are going to have a lot of success this year."

As for the Bulldogs, Smart and his team are expected to contend for another SEC title and potential College Football Playoff berth. Smart will have high expectations of his players. His children know better than anyone.

"They don't," Smart said when asked if his kids win games of whiffle ball. "We're not going to let em win. I said, 'The time that you beat us as adults, me or your mom, you will have earned it. The last thing we're going to do is let you win out of pity.'"
