🏈 Crimson Tide stepping up to try to keep Kirby Smart in Tuscaloosa

[ElephantStomp]

UGA Rivals site is reporting he is leaning towards going and footballscoop.com (I don't know about the credibility of the site) is saying that UGA has got him. FWIW

Justin Hokanson from WJOX Recruiting just tweeted UGAsports.com reporting that a plane is arriving in Athens from Tuscaloosa, they believe Kirby Smart may be on it.

FWIW

Yeah, I heard it was a done deal about 2 hours ago.

I don't know how reliable feeds from twitter are. Oh well. Good luck.

Good for him. I live in Ga (have 2 daughters in school at UGA and 2 boys in Tuscaloosa) and know that he's walking to a real mess at UGA. I hope he survives it. The bottom line is that Kirby runs the Saban defense, not the other way around. As long as we keep CNS then I am confident that he will reload assistants just like he always has. It's the PROCESS!

Whatever happens at UGA Smart will get all the credit for it..... good or bad.

If Smart is gone, I would like to see Coach Sal get the DC job here. I've heard nothing but good about him.

The situation at UGA is the opposite of a mess. They have a world of defensive talent that has badly underachieved due to poor coaching. This job is a Gold Mine! Any half-way competent coach will be able to improve that defense, look like a genius, and be on the fast track to a head coaching gig. That is exactly why he is making this move. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

As far as replacements go, how is Jon Tenuta still unemployed? That looks like a perfect fit to me, except for the fact that he used to run the 4-3. He was a DBs coach, he coached at Tech so he should have the Atlanta recruiting ties, and he is a great DC. Just my opinion. <o></o>

I thought of Tenuta as well but I kinda wishy-washy on him b/c of the poor job he did at Notre Dame.

Tenuta's problem may have been Weis wouldn't get any defensive recruits for him to mold. Weis was all about the offense and his teams showed it each and every game. It looks alot like how the Barn is recruiting to me.

Good luck Coach Smart. Thank you for your time at Alabama. I hope you do well at Georgia but fail miserably when playing Bama!
