By who? UGA fans? That doesn't count. Those that know - coaches and administrators in college - know that Kirby is very involved in every aspect of the Defense at Bama.

If he left, we'd be fine b/c of Saban's current level of involvement, but to discount what Kirby does is to be completely in the dark as to what Kirby does.

He is involved in targeting and recruiting players for our system, gameplanning each week, and making in-game calls.

When you look at UGA's defense, you say Grantham's defense

When you look at Alabama's defense, you say SABAN's defense.

I'm not saying he wouldn't be a great HC, i'm saying that from an AD's perspective, they have to take into consideration that he is under the watch of an uber control freak that wants things does his way and that's it. From a learning perspective, you couldn't be put in a better situation. I just don't think it's the best pedigree to be a HC, i think it's a great stepping stone, but about two more rungs from the top (next being HC at a decent school, then HC at a top school....OR DC at a top school with total control, then HC at top school).
