re: So is Kirby for sure Saban's eventual replacement?

Penn St has more money available for a new coach than any other major program in football. All the money that Paterno turned down over the past 15 years has been going into an account for his successor. To me, it's still not an elite job like it once may have been. I doubt they steal away a top head coach but maybe there is someone out there with ties I don't know about.
