If you ask a Tennessee fan they would say Smart turned Auburn down.

Maybe because he knows it's an uphill battle being the fifth or sixth best team in the SECW

Everyone in the Auburn circle seems to think that Gus has been the guy since the search started and Kirby was interviewed as a backup

According to Mike Ferrell's (sp?) sources, Kirby had a contract offer and it was thought he would accept. Something happened.

Ask a gump: Yes

Ask an Aubie: No

No one here knows. No one not involved with the actual discussions does either. Cept maybe Saban since Kirby would have kept him informed.

FYI, a good source told me Kirby Smart had a contract offer from #Auburn and as of this morning the deal was close to being struck.

Kirby is always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

Either way it doesn't answer the question in the OP.

bg13 posted this on the bama board:

Kirby turned down $2M+. Not sure if there is another job that makes sense for him, or if he was reassured what he's thought all along - Bama is his when Saban leaves.

Either way, he was offered in the $2.3M/year range. Glad to hear he's staying. Hate that he considered it to the point of negotiation.
should be fun to lol about with recruits IMO.
