He's getting more talent than Saban is and that will continue with Saban's age being a deterrent
UGA in position to dominate next decade and Smart is young enough to get close to Saban status by the time he's done

Smart was the man responsible for Sabans dynasty. Good eye by Saban for hiring him

Not really true. Talent isn’t the issue at Bama, they certainly had plenty. Saban not focused, accepting less than perfection, making excuses for loses…he’s gotten soft.

You are posting this thread within months of Saban landing, by far, the top recruiting class.
Talent isn't the problem at Alabama, it's the slip in the coaching and the bad culture which have lead to the Tide's downturn.

Not sure coaches have 1/2 as much to do with it as the success of the program

Georgia and Bama have been close ever since Kirby took over at Georgia. For the 2024 class, he is significantly ahead (Georgia #4, Bama #20)...but that class doesn't sign until next February.

Corndog pretends to start a Georgia/Smart thread and within the first line mentions Saban.

Smart is on his way to changing the entire game I’d say.
He’s doing what Saban was doing at a younger age and frankly, with a more modern approach than Saban did.

He is but I’m not sure it matters like it used to, before NIL and no transfer penalties. The 5 stars that don’t see the field by year 2 will transfer to where they can play immediately.

They really figure out the winning formula

He also leading the conference in players arrested every year also. Even if felony’s wasn’t enough, now he has football players date staffers, players racing each other to the strip club, and now players and staffers dying under his watch. Jalen Carter is the type of person that fits in well. Knew his teammate was involved in a wreck, but instead to render aid and help, he thought about himself only and left the scene while his friend was dying. Smart is recruiting scum of the earth right now. And it will eventually come back to haunt him.

But he will always be in Saban’s shadow.
Everyone will always see Kirby as Saban 2.0.

According to the recruiting sites, Saban is getting more talent.
According to the football field, Kirby is developing better talent.
Biggest difference right now is Kirby is developing a lot of those three stars that pull our ranking down into five star players upon leaving:
Bennett
McConkey
Dumas Johnson
Eric Stokes
Jordan Davis, etc.

And then there was Brian Kelly who is the better coach so who wins?

Kirby is built different. And he will surpass Saban as the GOAT eventually

I think Kirby will retire within the next 5 years or so. College football coaches have insane schedules now and he seems to be going 110% nonstop. He has already made enough money to take care of the next 3 generations of Smarts at least.
