Could you link Kirby's comments? Maybe our players did say those things, but they weren't hunting members of the media to express themself.
Here is reality for you, the 2 Times Kirby and Dan have met as head coaches, they could have played 10 times either season and Dan would have been lucky to win 1 either season.
I personally don't care how good Dan is at developing players, that's a UK battle cry, Bama, tOST and Clemson haven't won the latest NC because they are great at developing talent, they are winning because they are great at signing talent, keep bragging how good Dan is at developing talent and watching someone else win the East and someone else in the playoffs.
