Kirby obviously, but that's a no go. Who should Bama have hired?

The guy we hired is a great X’s and O’s guy but you have to be a great recruiter in the SEC.
Remember what Saban said to Mal? “You’re hiring a shite coach but no one will our recruit me.” Now obviously he was poor mouthing his coaching abilities but it definitely all starts with recruiting and this was an X and O hire instead of a recruiting hire.
Kiffin would’ve been phenomenal. Evidently he banged a boosters wife though.
Sark should’ve been given a fully guaranteed contract. Texas wouldn’t have matched it.
If not Sark it should’ve been someone off of one of Saban’s staffs.
