Kirby Smart is what Muschamp was a couple years ago. Gus Malzahn just a couple years ago. He is what just about every top HC was just before they got their chance to be a head coach. You are usually a coordinator before your a HC(unless your Dooley). While he would not be my top choice, I think he makes this team 50% better the day he is hired. 50% would have had this team fighting for the SEC east. We just need a capable coach. Alot of teams think an awful lot of Kirby Smart. If he is the man hired, we go into 2103 with a better chance than we had this year IMO.
