I knew it was you old dawg!
If you're familiar with my work you also know that on the other board I repeatedly referenced a plan Saban had in place to have Kirby replace him at Bama. You also remember that the Bammers on that board weren't too thrilled with the idea, and even I admitted that I wasn't sure if it would work out.
That plan seemed to go away sometime around the 2013 season for whatever reason. Looking back, I suspect that Saban had originally planned on leaving Bama, but after flirting with Texas in 2012, when he decided to stay in Tuscaloosa, I think he and Ms Terry decided they would retire here.
The point in all this is the same as always.....pump the brakes on anointing Kirby the next anything. Maybe he'll be another Jimbo Fisher, maybe he'll be another Derrick Dooley. We just don't know yet.
