Smart is risky as all coordinator candidates are, but on paper he is absolutely a top-notch candidate and brings everything you would possibly want in an SEC head coach. His work ethic and drive are outstanding, he has not only survived Saban for 7 years now, but he has also done it while being promoted up the chain the entire time. You have to know how to coach and you have to work your arse off to accomplish that because Saban is a terror to work for. Smart is also an elite recruiter, and more importantly his recruiting connections align perfectly with Auburn's niche markets. He is from Alabama and has built connections with his tenure at Bama. His pull in the state of Georgia is very strong. Pretty much every player that Bama signs out of Georgia, he has his hand in somehow. Out of all the realistic potential candidates he would likely succeed the greatest in holding this current class together. Lawson, Foster, etc. would all likely stick with Auburn. He probably pulls Trey Johnson back as well. Auburn is also seriously in need of someone who can whip this program back into shape from a toughness, intensity, and execution standpoint. These are all traits which Saban stresses, and traits which Smart has had more than enough time to pick up on.

How far up on the chain did Dooley get? Not being sarcastic, I truly don't know.

Honestly, I see at, and I'd be okay with it. I am super torn about this info. I can't stop changing my mind
