Pruitt wants to be head coach at Bama one day, Kirby doesn't. Pruitt won't burn any bridges.

This.
A lot of people here don't like Smart, and that's fine, but to call Kirby Smart "insignificant" right now is the height of stupidity.
Lane Kiffin is insignificant. And yeah, he no doubt is trying to get some of the same kids we are. Sure, he won't be successful, but that doesn't mean he isn't recruiting them.

See above. Thinking that Kirby Smart in 2018 is "insignificant" is the height of stupidity, no matter now much you want to believe it's him.
Seriously. You think the guy who was just in the NC game and has the #1 recruiting class in the country is "insignificant".

Numerous Bama mods have been talking for over a year about Kirby negative recruiting against Bama and Saban being pissed.
This why it appears obvious to many Bama fans.
Correction...it's why some Bama fans want to believe it's him.

Is it Kirby or his staff that are doing the negative recruiting?

Numerous Bama insiders and radio personalities say Kirby and his staff negative recruit against Bama, but Georgia fans don't believe it. Georgia fans are gullible though, look how long they kept Richt

Keeping Richt makes us gullible? That's a terrible example. We didn't expect him to bring us a natty after the the first few years. We kept him around for our low expectations

Pruitt SHOULDN'T burn any bridges, but that doesn't mean he won't. He's negative recruited against us when he left before. Never underestimate how cutthroat that Sand Mountain boy is.

Hey guys im new to this board but I have been reading it for awhile and enjoy the hell out of it!
My thoughts on this are that if Saban was talking about Pruitt, then on the 3rd Saturday of October Saban will run the score up. If not, then it was probably Kirby because Saban doesnt usually run the score up on people he respects.

I'm pretty sure we've accidentally ran up the score on several coaches he respects. But that's because our 2nd and 3rd teams are hungry.

Bama insiders? If so I could see why you would think it's him then. Pruitt just has a much more FU type of personality.
He may have that crazy, dumb redneck vibe. But he's not a moron. He's a Bama alum that is where he's at because Saban pulled him from Hoover. Kirby was Saban's right hand man. But has zero Bama ties beyond a paycheck. Their that in with the BOL mods hearing about it, it's pretty obvious who's talking shite.
And he called him insignificant as an inside jab. He wasn't talking to us with that one.

Putting in your 2nd and 3rd stringers isnt running up the score. Thats "if you cant stop our 3rd string then thats your problem."
Yesterday against Arky state saban could have probably scored at least 80. But they didnt. That is what I mean.
I also think its Kirby. It makes kicking their arse much more enjoyable though. Its just too bad they dont have anyone to challenge them in the SEC East so they will get to the championship easily for the next 3 years at least.

Don't they have a really strong relationship?
UGA has a strong enough recruiting situation that we don't need to trash talk, we may have assistants that have done it, but I doubt he was digging at Kirby

I haven't seen a video, transcript or quote with Saban using the word insignificant to describe the former assistant he was referring to.
I didn't say I think Kirby is insignificant, nor did I say I want to believe Kirby has negative recruited.
You don't know anything about what I might've heard about Kirby from credible sources and you don't know anything about what I think.
You essentially stated that you know what I think and called my thoughts the height of stupidity. Doing that seems stupid to me.
ETA: Negative recruiting can be more harmful than helpful to those engaging in it -- especially if the party that's the target of negative recruiting deals with it properly and doesn't engage in it themselves.

Yeah, I'll say it again...the notion that Kirby Smart is the "most obvious" choice as far as a coach that Saban might call "insignificant" is pretty stupid.

To be more clear, it doesn't rustle me or concern me if Kirby or any other coach uses negative recruiting tactics against Bama. Imo, it'll harm their own image, credibility and recruiting more that it does Bama's. So, imo it's "insignificant".
Again, I haven't seen and cannot find a Saban quote in print or video that definitely shows he even labeled the coach he was referring to as "insignificant" let alone how he worded it. That's why I didn't state or even imply that I think Kirby is the most obvious former coach that Saban would label as being "insignificant." But I have seen several detailed accounts from credible sources in the past of Kirby negative recruiting against Bama.
My post ("You couldn't possibly admit to yourself that the most obvious is Kirby?") was merely yanking a Dawg's chain. Perhaps Coach Saban was doing that too. Since that's a possibility, I don't think it's stupid to consider that it's fairly likely Saban might've been referring to Kirby.
But continuing to insist that I'm stupid based on your own potentially erroneous assumptions is obviously how you roll.

Just read a post on BOL giving a pretty detailed account of things Christian Williams' aunt said about Auburn's coaches going real heavy with negative recruiting against Saban and Bama. Maybe the former assistant Saban was referring to is Kevin Steele. However, the OP said it was clear Saban was referring to a former assistant who's now a HC.

Then possibly both because there is plenty out there about how dirty Kirby Freeze has been at uga.
I've been disgusted by how Kirby has treated the man that taught him everything he knows.
