And all he had to do was coach under Saban for 8 years and copy vast amounts of his approach to do it. I’ve already explained all this.

Be specific. Exactly what unique thing did Saban do that no other coach did?

Like I have pointed out, Saban was transitioning to a pass first offense, yet Kirby stuck with run first. After Georgia won two straight, all of a sudden Saban has decided to transition back to run first. Now Kirby is throwing more than ever before. It's only a matter of time before Saban goes back to throwing more.

You know this is the truth.

Saban ultimately chose Alabama because he's a mercenary. Alabama is the easiest college football program in the country to recruit for and win at. Saban chose Alabama for that reason and it's worked for him and for Alabama.

Smart went to Georgia because he and his wife are alums. He loves the school and wants to turn Georgia football into the best college football program the country has ever seen. He's not there yet, but he's gotten a great start.

Saban is the greatest coach in college football history and he has proven it. Smart's reclamation effort at Georgia, however, is a much tougher job than Saban going to the best program in the history of college football and maintaining it that way.
