‘I’ll give them my wife’s name’ – Kirby Smart shares his Chick-Fil-A strategy
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is known for his low‑profile style around Athens, yet that doesn’t stop him from quietly enjoying a Chick‑fil‑A.
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is known for his low‑profile style around Athens, yet that doesn’t stop him from quietly enjoying a Chick‑fil‑A.
Smart has his own tactic when it comes to grabbing a Peach milkshake without anyone recognizing him.
During an appearance on SEC Network’s “Talkin’ Season” with Marty and McGee, Smart shared that he uses a different name when he goes through a drive-thru.
“The worst thing about those places is that they want your name,” Smart said. “And right when I pull up, ‘Can I get a name for the order?’ and I always give my son’s name or my wife’s name if they’re with me or somebody else. I don’t like giving my own name then I get into another conversation.
“The best is when they have no clue. That is the best. That is honestly the best.”
Marty interrupted to ask if Smart ever messes with them.
“What do you think about that Georgia coach? Man, I think he ought to run the damn ball,” Marty said jokingly.
“They ain’t usually into that at Chick-Fil-A. They’re not worried about that. They try to get you through there quick,” Smart replied with a laugh.
Smart is right about Chick-fil-A, a company that has clearly mastered a winning strategy and stands out as one of the fastest and most efficient fast food chains in the country. But maybe next time, they’ll take a moment to slow down and call Coach Smart out.
