This is why Mo Smith can't transfer to Georgia! Every time I posted this, it went right over the top of a ton of mother frickers' heads. NOW, maybe you'll listen to the COACHES!

If a UGA graduate wanted to follow Richt to Miami, Smart wouldn't be able to stop it.

The kid graduated. If Georgia offers a graduate program that Alabama doesn't have he can play immediately per SEC rules. Saban can't do a thing about. He's just delaying paper work. This situation could have been handled better and you can't blame Saban for wanting to keep a possible starter/ key backup.

Really? Go read it again...and concentrate on the part that says SEC athletes transferring to "schools within the SEC".

quote:there is not a coach in the sec, miles included, that is going to let a starter graduate transfer happen to an in conferrence school that you could very well play the next season, without sitting a year, to chase an assistant coach that they like. The scholarship is a 2 way street, and so far smith has gotten all the benefit from it, degree, national championship ring, world class coaching and training, and now just when bama is going to get some useful play out of him he wants to transfer to a team we might play in the sec championship? Nope. He can still transfer, he just has to sit
It's selfish. Why would anyone want to prevent a kid from doing what he feels is better for him?

How can a new coach tell players where they can and can't go? That's just fricked up.

Where is the hypocrisy from Smart? He hasn't even commented on the situation.

I think you're equating what a coach says and what fans think, which is an issue.
The fans want what is best for the school. Period. If the school and the team benefits, great. All for it. No fan will tell you different because we're all selfish.
We're going to support Smart in not wanting to set a precedent for players leaving for Miami. We're also going to want an Alabama player to come if he wants to. That's not hypocrisy because we're not making the rules. If it's best for our team, we want it.
Do you follow?

Just because they don't have to sit out a year does not mean they can come and go as they wish.
Graduate Transfer Are Not Free Agency
"Like all other transfers, graduate transfers need permission to contact another institution. If a coach denies permission to contact and it is upheld on appeal, the athlete cannot accept an athletic scholarship at a potential transfer destination."

After reading up on it He can transfer and play BUT has to get permission from Saban bc it is within the SEC. This wouldn't be a big deal if Saban wouldn't have let Chris Black transfer to Missouri. Also the rules are SUPPOSED to be for the benefit of the student athlete. If there is a graduate program he wants to be in that is not offered by Bamma Saban should not hold him back. Saban is not doing what's best for the SUDENT ATHLETE. He's doing what's best for his football team.
Let the kid transfer. It's not like anyone else wants to leave a championship caliber team that's favored to win the national championship every year.

The SEC Coaches voted to enact this rule to begin with or else it wouldn't be and SEC rule.
Now, if it's such a big deal and it's an injustice to the student athlete, then they can vote again at next year's summer session and they can vote to remove the transfer rule within conference.
How many of y'all think the SEC Coaches will choose to allow graduates to transfer within the conference unobstructed?

Kirby knows you win with great players. He'll get plenty out of the state of Georgia and surrounding states because he's an exceptional recruiter.
He will also be more of an hard arse than Richt, but I believe that's what UGA fans want at the present time to see if it will push them to the top.
I doubt Kirby will speak publicly to denounce Saban for enforcing the SEC transfer rule.

No one said Smart was being hypocritical. The line of thinking other fan bases (Georgia) have is hypocritical.

I mean, we want what's best for our program. There's nothing hypocritical in that.
We support not having the floodgates open to Miami.
We would also like to have an Alabama transfer if he wants to come here.

Look at all the Dawes rushing to defend Kirby. It is to laugh.
Although this was hard to read, but easily deciphered.
Now to my reply ... defending Kirby from what? As far as I know Kirby has nothing to do with the Smith/Saban situation, as he hasn't made any statement on the matter whatsoever. So there is nothing to defend him from ... am I right?

No one here isn't disagreeing with letting a guy transfer to a rival school or one with the potential to be good in the SEC (sorry MIZZ
). It is how Saban is just lying saying all this crap, when he should just be honest and say that it wouldn't be in the best interest of Bama to let these guys transfer to other SEC schools. Don't freakin say it is in the best interest of the kids, yada yada yada.
