HE can say "I've been to UGA, i went there, i coached with Bobo...BUT Bama is better here, here, and here."

You can make subtle comparisons - as you've outlined - without them being negative towards the other school. If a recruit opens a door for you to talk about playing rotation, success of a program, facilities, etc, then you do it. You don't have to say "we're better than UGA in A, B, and C".

He wished him luck. What did you expect?

He asked him what made him change his mind in 24 hours. MM didn't give him a straight answer. A lot of "just slept on it and felt different". Kirby handled that with class. He did wish him best of luck, congratulated him on his decision, told him he would enjoy his time at UGA, but he - in a good natured jab - said "you know we're gonna kick your arse if we play you, right?"

Nothing negative about that and that was a situation that happens every year and usually the "scorned" coach goes negative.

who's to say that Saban doesn't coach for the next 10 years

He might. Hope he does, but would be shocked if he did.

think Kirby is gonna stick around that long

Nope

I think he is going to be gone this year or next when he gets a good HC job to show he can be a good HC,

It would need to be a really good situation where he could win for 3-4 years. He wouldn't go to a place like USM (i know he int'd their last year, but he was never going there. that was a "more money" interview)
