Either the most banal statement about coaching 18-21 y/o’s ever made, or, you’re disingenuously comparing him to what you/your fellow fans call the GOAT. You can’t have it both ways just for a chance to dog Kirby

Kirby is in his 7th year as a head coach at any level. Saban was in his second season at LSU. Kirby has won 2 national titles in his first 7 years. It took Saban 9 years to win one and 6 more to win another one...or 4 if you discount the knowledge and experience at the NFL. I suspect were one to look at the records Saban probably made as many if not more bone headed decisions and failed to get the most out of his teams in his first 7 years.

Were Smart to be a HC for as long as Saban was (he wont, no one will going forward) it is not unreasonable to suggest he will have won more nattys than Saban.
