Do you think Kirby Smart would take the Auburn job if offered?

This is just a hypothetical so don't go apeshit. Was thinking KS will be a HC one day soon and what if this job was offered?
I think it would depend on the money Tbh. Hard to turn down a few mil a year if that is offered.

I think he would take it in a second and he would be crazy not to take the job. I just don't see Auburn offering that job to a career assistant. Especially a career assistant coming from Alabama.

why the frick not? Waiting on Arkansas State to open up?

Some are saying he's in the running.

I'm actually not sure he would, not that he's that close to the top of Auburn's list anyway IMO. I'm not sure he'd want to go take on such a rebuilding job and have to compete against his old boss Saban in-state. I believe he has his sights set on Georgia or Alabama. Not saying he won't go be the HC somewhere before that, but personally I think it'll be a smaller type school where it might be easier to win a few more games while he waits for the call "home" to Athens or Tuscaloosa.

Absolutely he would, I hope he doesn't get offered though.

He'll have to sort out what his current boss is going to do - if Saban doesn't pursue, at least seriously, the Texas job (or his final shot at the NFL), then Smart will have to leave to get a head coaching job in the next 5 to 6 years. I think Bama represents his dream job and it is hard to go from Bama to Auburn (or vice versa).

Muschamp held out a few years ago and passed on it. Who knows if Smart would do the same. I would assume he would have some reservations given the power structure and fan expectations at Auburn right now. If he thinks he can overcome those, I suppose he would. I don't know if Auburn would give him autonomy or let him run the program the way he would want to run it, especially as a first year head coach.
He's making enough to get by right now, and I'm sure he knows that if he makes the right decisions, he has the potential to make a ton more in the coming years, be it at Auburn or somewhere else.

I hope so.
Those two programs need another reason to hate each other

He can pick his spot. Auburn is unlikely - too much to rebuild and too much a rival of U of Gump. Arky is a better position for him (recruiting/talent wise).
I think he stays another year w/ little nicky, and then jumps.

He gone.

In a heartbeat, a head coaching job in the SEC, even at Auburn is a fairly sought after job.
