🏈 To hell with Jawja!

[yellowhammer86]

I cannot and will not pull fir Jawja to beat Oklahoma. Kirby is a real POS.

"To Hell With Jawja." That's what God said and this happened:

What a fantastic way to alienate a group of football fans that had so much respect for him. If this is true, I'm very interested in how CNS will respond to this. I'm sure CNS will respond in a classy fashion, as that is his practice. I'm disappointed that CKS would sink to such tactics.

Roll Tide!

We're not sure what tactics he used against other schools when he was at Bama.

i doubt that this is 100% true. Parts maybe....

I could see using the likelihood of a clemson win over alabama as an official end to the "dynasty" though. After how BAma has looked over the last several big games, losing to the barn and backing into the playoffs only to lose badly to Clemson?! If that were to happen, it would be a boom to other SEC schools.

I doubt that he is telling recruits that Saban is retiring tho.

Very true. But I think that using such a tactic against a Coach and a University that has given him so much would indicate a lack of class that I never would have expected to come from him. I'm hoping this is BS, and that it's been fabricated by others to sway recruits from coming to Bama.

My understanding is....Sabans and Smart families are personal friends.....
I dont see KS as needing a negative recruiting tatic....
Color me skeptical

Starting to think some of y'all are just very naive. Wouldn't shock me at all if this was being said. Kirby has a family to feed, he has a career to protect, so if you think for one second he won't use certain tactics to get himself over the hump then you're sadly mistaken. I have never seen a coach take a friendship over their program's success. Saban and Smart both have a lot more invested into their programs than they do their friendship. If anything, they owe it to their families to essentially win at all costs (I do not mean cheating like in Blue Chips, but moreso finding ways to stretch the truth where they are within legal practices) so they can provide for them. And Coach Saban hasn't had to use this tactic, because he clearly says you're with us or we'll just have to kick your ass when we play you. Backing that up on the field has built enough of a reputation where he doesn't have to undercut a competitor on the recruiting trail. He sold a vision, made that vision a reality, and can now recruit off that reality, so no need to tell an eighteen year old recruit Rome is falling in any college town in America.

I'm willing to bet none of y'all would have expected Saban to plead for a playoff birth either, and that just happened when he stumped for his team. I clearly have no problem with it because that's what a coach should do, but to think a friendship would get in the way of them doing their job is naive to say the least. Rememeber, these guys very rarely see their wives and miss a ton of their kid's lives as they grow up, so a friendship is not going to outweigh that. @TerryP hit the nail on the head when everyone was wishing Kirby the best and he stood tall and expressed that he didn't and explained why. After the Maurice Smith dilemma I had to agree with Terry and consider Kirby the coach of a bitter rival. There's no love in war ladies and gents.

Are we forgetting about the antics he orchestrated behind the scenes with Mo last season?

Gone a long time ago...the day he left.

Just like the Godfather, " It's not personal, it's just business."

Oh, brother. What is a dynasty, win a natty every other year? Kirby doesn't want any part of that measuring stick, nor anyone else with good sense. We use the term Bama fatigue when it's more accurate to say Bama fear.

 

[rick4bama]

Sound like Dye when he took over those tiggers!

 

[bcracker]

Kirby’s dead ro me.

 

[TheChief]

Doesn't sound smart to me.

 

[forevertide]

ga wouldn`t be in playoffs if bama hadn`t softened up awbarn & injured their rb`s & 2 of their key defensive players FACT

 

[XXL TideFan]

Kirby is a vacuum cleaner

 

[TheChief]

 

[planomateo]

At some point Kirby is gonna be right. Saban gonna retire at some point... :rolf:

 

[Sid Youngleman]

They stay nervous over there because Saban sounds just enough like Sherman.
