I don't think we allowed Kirby to leave.

I've said it before, Kirby hinestly thinks the Bama HC kob is his when Saban leaves. Gonna have to be a strong offer (not simething he is using for pub or a raise), or something will have to change his opinion in order for him to leave.

We interviewed him and supposedly had him behind Sumlin and Fedora, FWIW.

Will you continue to be obsessed with Saban if he is at Texas?

Unless they name him HCIW it would be pretty stupid for him to do that. He shouldn't take just any job, Ole Miss would not have been a good choice, but it would better to have some HC experience.

Based on the success of the Saban coaching tree I think a lot of schools are a not just assuming any of his assistants can be a head coach.

why not leave and get some head coaching experience then? if he goes to-- lets say houston for arguments sake-- leads the team to a couple 10 wins seasons and some excellent defense, he would be an obvious choice to follow saban at bama. but if he stays as DC until saban bolts, i cant see bama just elevating him to HC. it would be awfully short sighted to take saban's #1 guy and think he'll just keep the ball rolling down hill.


what do bammers think of smart taking over with no HCing experience?

Mark Dantonio and Bo Pelini have done pretty well.

I think Kirby was trying too hard in a year where there were too many coaching prospects already that had head coaching experience. I think next year will be his year to land a good job.

It's pretty obvious that anyone can follow Saban and be successful.

Bobby Williams who was recommended by Saban didnt quite make the Hall of Fame at Michigan State. Saban suggested to Ship Bertman that he hire Houston Nutt as his replacement. Is he that bad at picking a coach or was he trying to make himself look good?
