Why aren't people talking about Kirby Smart from Alabama. He has been the Bama d coordinator for 10 years and they are consistently a top 5 defense every year. He has won 3 National Titles, and coached tons of NFL talent on the defensive side of the ball. Also his last 6 games against LSU he has given up 16, 13,17,17,0, and 6. He also knows the roots of Saban. I mean if he's kicking our arse every year we might as well hire him.

Because he's never been a HC and no one is really sure how much of the defensive success is him and how much is Saban.

I don't think any one wants to end up with Boom 2.0

Rumor says they want an experienced head coach.

I think Kirby Smart is a realistic hire.

I don't know if he is the real deal or just Saban's boy.

He has been there so long, and took over for Steele, Makes me think he is a legitimate protege.

Too risky. No HC experience and everyone knows that's Sabans defense. I will say though that he has been with Saban long enough and is so involved in the defense he probably knows it well by now.

Smart is Saban's bitch. Just a guy holding a position at Bama. That's Saban's D and everybody knows it. Kirby ain't shite without Saban.

So let's see, you want a HC who if successful at LSU will be lured away to Bama when Saban retires.

Uh..NO!!

I thought about him. The problem he has is that he is a DC. There was a good discussion last season that most successful HC's were former OC's. Not as many former DC's successful HC's now. The obvious outlier to this line of thought is Saban the Demi-god of NCAA. Also Miles was a former OC...
