He did it in his seventh game of his ninth season and now has a record of 100-17 as a head coach.

"The bottom line unless something crazy happens, he'll probably hit 200 one day," former Georgia coach Mark Richt said.

Smart's .855 winning percentage is the best in SEC history, just ahead of former Alabama and LSU coach Nick Saban's .847

Smart in 117 games ties for the fifth fastest to win 100 games (with at least five years or 50 win at a major college by the NCAA), according to Georgia. That's behind Gil Dobie (108 at Washington, Navy, Cornell), George Woodruff (109 at Penn), Bud Wilkerson (111 at Oklahoma) and Fielding Yost (114, mostly at Michigan).

Smart ties Knute Rocke (Notre Dame) and Chris Petersen (Boise State and Washington).

He is the fourth Georgia coach to hit the 100-win mark and 20 in the SEC.

Smart's winning percentages tops Vince Dooley (201-77-10, .715), Richt (145-51,.740) and Wally Butts (140-86-9, .615).

Richt said he remembered when he was at Florida State linebackers Joe Kines, who also coached at Georgia, called the UGA job "a goldmine waiting to happen."
