Bruce Arians may be the frontrunner to land the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head-coaching job, but that does not mean the Buccaneers won't still be weighing their options.

One such option could be University of Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

Smart has been at Georgia for three years, going 32-10 and posting a 2-2 record in bowl games. Georgia defeated Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl last year and proceeded to advance to the National Championship Game, where it ultimately fell to Alabama.

The Bulldogs actually gave Smart the first head-coaching job of his career.

He has one year of NFL experience, serving as the Miami Dolphins' safeties coach in 2006, but other than that, Smart has no NFL track record, and even his NCAA chops are limited.

Smart earned his first NCAA coaching job in 1999, serving as an administrative assistant for Georgia. He then spent two years at little Valdosta State before spending two years at Florida State in 2002 and 2003.

The 43-year-old then moved to LSU as its defensive backs coach in 2004 before heading back to Georgia to become the Bulldogs' running backs coach in 2005. After spending one year with the Dolphins in 2006, Smart landed at Alabama, where he spent one year as a defensive backs coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2008, a position he held through 2015 before taking the head-coaching position at Georgia.

The Buccaneers are coming off of a 5-11 season and fired Dirk Koetter after he spent three years with the club.
