re: So what does Kirby do?

I think Smart gets a shot. We don't know all of the cards yet but I bet Sabin has been recruiting to help him out. After the Miami crap Sabin even said he hated the way it went down so maybe this is his way of trying to leave the program in the beat condition to "do the right thing." I think Strong would be a hell of a fit for Bama and wouldn't be surprised to see them go after him but we don't know how much of the system Smart already knows. If he can keep the same system of play and recruiting, why mess with it? Also my bet is that Smart is going to be more prepared than Muschamp at keeping a decent offense on the field.
