It's my opinion Kirby is a good coach who fell into a dream situation and made the most of it. Kirby has the drive and grit in his gut to reach the summit. But he's not a coaching messiah.

Alabama fans seem to want it both ways.

They claim Alabama will keep rolling along, because Alabama is the GOAT football school and will continue it's success because it is an ideal situation.

So, using your logic did Saban fall into an ideal situation and is not really a "coaching messiah"?

He makes dumb mistakes at crucial times and sometimes just schemes wrong - or doesn't get his team mentally prepared.

Anything like Saban arguing for a second to be placed back on the clock, only to send a weak FG kicker out to try a 57 yard FG that was returned back for a crushing TD? he did not even put a safety valve out on the field to cover for a possible return. Or do you think Alabama was sufficiently prepared the year Clemson put a beatdown on them in a National Championship game? Alabama has had the #1 roster talent for many years and has still managed to lose games every year at some point. Perhaps that should have been mentioned?

I think he worked for a coaching genius

The guy that underperformed(apparently) on many occasions is a coaching genius? Or maybe Alabama is not huge can't miss football situation y'all keep saying you are?

Don't misunderstand me. I do think Saban is/was the GOAT, but the logic Alabama fans use is almost overwhelming. Things used as negative for some coaches are used as positives for Alabama coaches. It just seems odd.
