Do you think Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, or Arkansas give him a call? Do you think he would take any of those three gigs?

I could make a case for UT or AU, not so much Ark or KY.

Could deal with Kirby at AU. Solid hire, probably would not be perceived as a homerun though.

does Kirby have any success as a coach without being under Saban's wing?

Nope. Would you want to start your first HC gig in the SEC?

Kentucky could be a likely destination.

I don't see him leaving if The Saban/Browns rumor has any truth to it

Kentucky would be lucky to get him I think.

I think Auburn, Tennessee, and Arkansas would go for someone with HC experience.

I don't think he would take the AU job but you never know.

I think he's going to make an excellent HC, like muschamp he is from the defensive branch of the saban tree

He is probably at the top of our Assistant candidate list, but Arkansas doesn't have a history of giving coaches their first HC gig.

Kirby needs to do what Jim McElwain did. Get his first HC job outside the SEC. Do well, and stay there until Saban retires, then go to the top of the list at Alabama or Georgia. Bama won't hire another coach without demonstrated/successful HC experience.

Muschamp says, "Absolutely."

Bitter I see

But you're right. Saban assistants have pretty much sucked as head coaches

Don't know if AU would go after him, but if they did, I doubt he would do that to Saban out of respect.

Too bad Saban doesn't do the same for the places he's coached

I think he is too much of a follower.
He will be with Saban till he leaves for the NFL.
