re: Breaking: Johnny Jones hired Georgetown assistant per Rivals

Kirby's originally from ms and was ms state's lead recruiter before he left for gtown I believe. There's no doubt in my mind that he and JJ had a relationship before this hire with all the years Jones spent at LSU. That may have been the biggest factor in Kirby returning to the gulfsouth area. I wonder if being passed over by ms state in favor of a guy whose a virtual unknown doesn't also give Kirby the added incentive to come on down and help build one of their biggest rivals into a winner. That guy is going to be difficult to recruit against in the state of ms, no question. His situation is so similar to Johnny's, the way he was passed over the first time around until the administration realized that the best fit for the program has been right under their noses. This move will help Kirby position himself as the next head coach at Ms State or even Ole Miss, IMO. He may not be with us for very long unfortunately.
