Anyone else been paying attention to his comments and demeanor the last year and how hard everything is? He was talking about how nick found a way to just enjoy his team and that's what he is doing. I don't think he coaches for much longer if he doesn't take a break. Unfortunately the signs are there.

I’ve worried about how long he can keep up this pace and level of intensity. Coaching, recruiting, managing all of those staff members, etc.

I don’t think he coaches into his 70’s like Saban, but I think he has longer to coach than some have speculated.

I don’t think his retirement is coming any day now, but wouldn’t be surprised at all if he retires in his 50’s.

I think Kirby hires better than Nick. The job is obviously high stress, but the program is so well put together (and there seems to be so much more comraderie rather than contention) that it's likely his stress level is lower than Nick's.

Also, if your are the perfect job for your skillset, making excellent money, and at the top of your profession, why leave?

I don't think he'll last more than 10-15 years. Hopefully, he's grooming a successor.

Nothing wrong with reminding everyone that shite ain’t easy and don’t take it for granted.

I am sure watching Saban continues to give him perspective..while he is living it.

I think it will be a while before Kirby's competitive fire burns out. Like others have mentioned he as two former head coaches on staff,(Bobo and Muschamp) to help bare the burden.

Holy shite... yall live in the moment and soak it in, I was Twenty fricking Seven with a son, and a daughter in the oven in 1980...

Never thought I'd see another NC much less 2IAR and a 44-1 streak like we've been on, breath it in, smell the napalm
and victories we're laying waste to the rest of CFB with...

This run with Kirby at the helm might end tomorrow or in 5yrs or 15, but frick it, enjoy erry minute.
