So apparently Smart demanded from Auburn...
1. full disclosure of the state of the NCAA’s current look-see at the Auburn program,
2. full control of hiring and firing staffers, and
3. the opportunity to coordinate the Alabama defense in the BCS Championship Game against Notre Dame.
and Auburn refused. Yet Pat Dye wanted Smart?

Yet Pat Dye wanted Smart?
Obviously he was wrong

In a way, who can blame Auburn? They had to have seen it was all an evil plot by Saban to control the world.

Glad we didn't hire him.

So basically, the two biggest universally acknowledged criticisms of the program and Smart's desire to coach our rival in the NC game were the reason he was not hired?
Forgive me but I call BS. This is the T-town spin job at work

i just don't get it. i've read numerous posts from auburn fans saying auburn did the right thing by not allowing smart the "look-see" he wanted. some went on to say that he would turn down auburn and take the info back to saban and use it against auburn in recruiting
if auburn has done NOTHING wrong, what's the big deal about letting a potential head coach have a look

I know you Gumps are fapping over the Kirby angle but the real screwup by Auburn was not taking a serious look at Petrino.
Very juicy stuff all the way around though.
Never a dull moment on the plains.

Actaully, In his position I would have asked for the same thing. Look what happened to Golden at Miami.

If Auburn had NCAA sanctions coming down on them why would we fire Chizik. We could save 7 million, and if it was bowl ban bad he's already doing that without sanctions.

I do NOT think this is T-town Hunter style spin.
Very similar to last year's job opening @ Penn State many candidates had Smart-like stipulations that had to be agreed upon before any interview took place in earnest.
In it's current state with the NCAA breathing down Auburn's neck, the job would be a lateral move at best and very possibly a step in the wrong direction for Kirby.

...and their refusal to do so wi why their program will continue to suck. Pat Dye needs to go the frick away, he has become the cancer on that Universities arse.
Kirby has too bright of a future to associate himself with Auburn, that ship has sunk and it will be another five years of shitty football with this hire.

That is big. What is Auburn hiding?

Interesting read. Glad Kirby didn't take it. He's in a position that he can be selective about what job he takes and sounds like this was a good one to pass on.
