re: Maybe Smart wasn't ready for a head coaching job

How bout a board answering to the shareholders for hiring a CEO with no CEO experience at tenured CEO market rate and then asking them to wait 4 years for him to take the company to the next level..

And this has been my problem. As far as I know, we are one of the very, very few major Universities that hire Coordinators with no head coaching experience. (Florida did it once with Muschamp) I think we got our eye on the shiny new toy in the box and just couldn't allow anybody else to get him.

Which brings up something else I have been wondering. Muschamp has South Carolina doing ok. Not great, but probably better than last year. I wonder how Kirby would be doing had we let him go there. Obviously speculation. Without the glare of the spotlight and extra pressure, he might be doing better.
