That stinks, but it’s what it is. Wish him well. Gonna be a major transition season this fall.

Georgia is the clear favorite to land Alabama star safety Caleb Downs, multiple sources told @mzenitz and I for @247Sports. Downs intends to enter the transfer portal but has not gone in yet.

Some guy at 247 named John Talty

I don’t see how Alabama gets better on defense by losing the entire defense. Lol.

You wouldn’t understand.

They have coaches that can develop now and are going to be a roster of only high character guys that don’t want any NIL money.

Or he's leaving to a place where he's will get developed better.

You know, the same rationale you told everyone else when you took Ricks, and Gibbs.

Other teams didn’t have defensive talent before Saban retired? I wouldn’t say it was all being hoarded by Alabama.

Saban retired after 6 natties. Grow up and use your brain.

Kirby is literally trying to become Bama. That’s what y’all don’t understand. He’s literally imitating Saban 100% and trying to be him because he is the standard.

This is a major blow to Bama regardless of where he goes. If it’s UGA then that’s like their worst case scenario.

By recruiting well and developing players?

That’s what everyone is trying to do

Or do you have something more specific that Saban was doing that Kirby is “imitating”?

I remember telling Bammers they weren't immune to a dumpster fire once Saban left, Saban was the only thing keeping it all together.

They just laughed and said I didn't understand the culture around Alabama football.

By taking our DB coach to literally steal our DBs and giving him a fake title.

And Saban copied Belichick

All coaches find their style from a mentor

and he's been very successful at it. Why not try to use a tried and true formula?

Don't be mad that it was Saban that taught him everything that he knows.
