You're right - Just my perception of Kirby throughout his career. I think the mental side of the game is where Kirby falls a little short. Great coaches coach every aspect of their teams - with extra special attention given to the mental side. Saban was a genius at this aspect of coaching. Managing players expectations, finding the right emotional connection to each player, and combining that knowledge to motivate the team in a way that keeps them tuned in and ready to produce peak performances on gameday. Kirby learned from the best - and he's certainly proved he's a great coach. I don't think he gets the most out of his teams on the mental side. JMO.
Did Saban do a better job in his first 7 years getting his players mentally prepared to win? If so one has to wonder why his record as so damned lousy relative to Smart's in their first 7 years. Saban was not a great coach in his first 7 years. Smart is. He is still pretty young also....
