Kirby is as good of a defensive coach as there is in the college game right now. Saban was the SEC's top defensive mind for years, but our games against the two last fall prove as much as anything that there has been a changing of the guard. Fortunately, we have a top offensive mind to match wits and will win his share in the future.Just talent mostly....

On Sammy Brown, that mullet is glorious. We need him for that alone.
Saban had better talent than we did too and we hung 50 on him. As usual, last year Alabama had the number one most talented roster on the talent composite. UGA didn't just out talent us last year, they were screwing with us pretty bad with blitz packages. Saban had the same caliber of players, he just didn't deploy them as well against us.Our games against them last fall proved Kirby had better talent, put more time into our game, and home field helped them like it helped us against our top competition. Look at UGA's schedule compared to Alabama last year. Remember Ohio State was one hurt player away from sending UGA packing after shredding their defense.
I would love for UT to land this guy, but it will be a hard pull. Some programs just always land those guys they want in state. Clemson will be just as tough to beat. He would be a wonderful addition on defense though to go with what we expect to be an explosive offense.
