so he was that close to signing with us? Ok. Thanks for the info.



Close in a manner of speaking. I have a family member on the board of directors and they all believed he was coming. Smart asked to think about the decision overnight, which he did, then conferred with Saban the next morning. Smart and Saban came to some sort of agreement and he then received an extension to his contract shortly thereafter to remain the Bama DC.

The decision rubbed some of the board of directors the wrong way and I can tell you that Kirby Smart will not be on their short list ANYTIME soon, be it DC or HC or any other position.


ETA: to the question would he be considered for DC if Grantham left; again I say, why hire a guy that WILL be a HC somewhere within the next year to year and a half.
