Does it matter? He still interviewed with your hated rival, and never came out and said he was choosing to stay at Bama. Did I mention he interviewed with your hated rival? The DC of your team getting ready to play in the biggest game spent the last couple days talking to us?

Did I mention Kirby turned down $2.3 million/yr to coach AU because he ultimately decided it wasn't worth the money?

Someone on BOL who claims to know Kirby's family pretty well said that they couldn't come to terms for agreement.

Kirby wanted complete control and the ability to build his own staff from the ground up.

Auburn folks asked that he keep a couple of the assistants since they had multi-year deals or something like that.

He also said that Kirby wanted more money than what was offered.
