No idea if this actually means anything new, but I just saw it on Twitter. I'll probably crap a brick if this happens.

This is Kirby's agent attempt at getting him more money. He isn't going to come to LSU just like Miles wasn't going to go to Arky when they came calling.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I wasn't sure what had and hadn't been covered on here though.

Glad I'm not the only one. It reached an all time low a few days ago when he posted an article about rumors that had already been debunked.

Wouldn't be surprised if Smart pulled what their softball coach pulled a couple of years ago.

He ain't coming here.

why the hell would smart be interested in coming to lsu? he might be interested in getting a raise at Alabama, just like shoops got one at penn state.

is there anyone we are interested in that is actually interested in coming here?

The reason he is interested in the job is allegedly he feels like he won't get any credit as long as he is on Saban's staff,and he needs to branch out on his own. He got almost no interest in any openings this year, and Miles would let him run the defense at LSU. He allegedly feels like McIlwain and Muschamp both got increased interest as soon as they left Saban's staff, and that this would be his best route to a head job. That's why he would consider a lateral move.

How do we know Smart is even a good answer?

Look at the Belichek assistants who sucked outside of NE

his defenses have not finished strong lately and gives up too many points to Auburn lately.

It's kind of sad coaches are using LSU job offers/considerations as leverage for a raise at their current school.

I agree this is unlikely, but Kirby has stayed with Saban longer than most. When Saban was checking out the Texas job( and he did), even Saban's wife said Kirby could take over. Kirby has stayed with Saban and was the star protege until Lane showed up. Might be some jealously here. Just saying, who is the incumbent at Bama when Saban retires?

So he wouldn't have to work for Nick Saban any longer is the only reason I can think of....

Well COME ON DOWN!

If that's his motivation, LSU is the one school where the HC will never get any credit for anything! Anything goes right the credit will be all his for the taking.
