It won't work. Les didn't ask Kirby to be in his wedding. That's why Chavis left.

Good coach but is he better than Brick.


Very likely as he actually has experience fielding an elite D. But I never trust Coordinators for supposed gurus Head Coaches. Saban is revered as a D mastermind, are we to believe he just lets Smart do his own thing? It's like Carmichael for the Saints. I think he might just be Payton's hype guy.

I'll believe an insider report when LSU makes the announcement after the hire has been made.

So far most of these insider stories haven't meant much. Plus there was talk we were in talks with Stoops and that didn't really mean much. It's very difficult to predict where this goes now.

No way he leaves Alabama for the same job here. Don't get me wrong, I would be ecstatic but I just don't see it happening. Just like I didn't see Chavis leaving LSU for AtM



I agree it seems like a long shot, but can you imagine the quality of life upgrade going from being under Saban to Miles.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just an agent putting Smart's name out there to see if he can get a raise out of Bama. This is how these names usually get out there in the first place.

Take every report with a grain of salt because most of these guys don't know much. Only Miles and his agent really know what is going down.

Not to mention the upgrade of BR over any place in "Gumpland: Inbred Capital."

And when the Alabama fans you encounter in real life tell you there's no way a well-regarded DC would leave a perrenial contender for a division opponent over something as trivial as money, just remember that crazier things have happened.



I don't think it would be about money, it would be about proving he can put out a great defense without Saban looking over his shoulder.

Not sure about Kirby because everyone says it is Saban's D...but he may not like all the attention LK is getting at Bama. You never know with high ego coaches...maybe similar to what we all just saw with JC. Think about it.
