I sure would feel better if Kirby Smart was at least a HC for a liitle bit before becoming Bama's HC. It's just different when your actually the head honcho. You don't learn everything that's needed until you do it yourself because experience is priceless. Bama would be best hiring a proven HC than hiring an experienced assistant. Nothing personal to Kirby and no matter what happens. Smart needs to take a HC position this off-season so he grows has a coach. If Saban stays and Smart handles himself well on his own. I'd be happy with Smart has Bama's HC when Saban retires.

At the same time. No one knows Saban's process better than Smart does and he has relationship with recruiting too. Tough situation but it would be important to have immediate success if Smart took over.

One year at Arkansas St seems to be the going thing.

I don't understand the rationale that Kirby should be a HC elsewhere first. Jimbo wasn't the top dog anywhere and that's working out well at FSU. same thing with Stoops and Oklahoma. I think a lot of people remember the clusterfrick that was Mike DuBose and that makes them wary of Kirby. But that's apples and oranges. No way Kirby could have lasted this long around such a rigid taskmaster as Saban if he didn't have something going for him. As far to him not being an attractive candidate or else he would already have been selected head coach somewhere else, he is making great money at the top program in the country and working alongside the greatest coach of our lifetime. I just believe he is in a position to wait in the right opportunity and there hasn't been one that came along yet that he felt compelled to take.
