Unpossible. I've read on this board that he would be the next usm hc. Rats leaving sinking ship. Bama fans worried. Etc. Etc.

Ellis Johnson has this job if he wants it.

Kirby was also supposedly signed and sealed for the Georgia defensive coordinator job a couple of years ago and then balked at the last second. Perhaps it's a pattern that he uses to get more money from Alabama.

Saban must be protecting yet another assistant.

Georgia fans wanted to believe he was "signed and sealed", but it couldn't have been farther from the truth. He talked with Mark Richt, but he chose to stay at Alabama. Being on that staff going into 2010 was questionable at best. I don't think I could blame him, even if it is his Alma mater. Regardless, he can get a head coaching position as easily as a DC at Alabama, as opposed to Georgia.

Smart was never interested in the job it was all part of Jimmy Sexton's plan to get him a huge raise.

He was getting a 100K raise anyway.

Then Jimmy should teach him not to withdraw your name so quickly and lose your leverage.

USM probably figured out that Smart is a Saban puppet and looked around to see that former Saban assistants aren't doing too well on their own either

Ellis Johnson will be named the USM coach next week, IMO.

It wasn't Smart's choice to not get the job.

Kirby, it turns out, didn't splurge on that $12 haircut and it cost him again.

I've seen the haircut comment posted here and there. What's the story behind that? Is he tight?
