It's got some smoke to it. All three sites from both teams are not denying it (On3, 247, Rivals).
T-Rob was heavily involved in play calling this year. Saban hired the old guy to be his DC but he couldn't get the play calls in quick enough for HUNH offenses. They worked that out with Saban and T-Rob helping. But, very apparent T-Rob was not Saban's choice to replace Steele. Georgia moved to give him the Co-DC title with Muschamp stepping back and he took it. Kirby absolutely orchestrated for that news to break when it did. Been in the works well in advance. Bama, obviously caught with their pants down, now has to either suffer roster loss or give him the DC job. There is some rumor that it will also be a CO-DC job with Durkin coming in as the other DC.
Bottom line is this though, the real DC does the play calling. T-rob won't be doing that at UGA. If Bama is bringing someone else in to give them that title, I would assume that person is calling the plays since they didn't want T-Rob doing it a few days ago.
We'll see. Win, win for T-Rob. Gonna get a significant salary bump either way.

T-Rob formally accepted the position at Georgia on January 13th.

So if DeBoer interviewed him on January 14th as the sites say, without Georgia's permission, Alabama might just be looking at an NCAA issue.

Wait, so people actually think Kirby was playing 4D chess by hiring TRob as Co-DC just to force Bama to rehire him as full DC? Wow..
