We didn't miss out on Kirby. Kirby wanted the AU job and they chose CGM instead. Kirby actually thought he had the job.

The Kirby thing was sorta mutual. Kirby wanted the job IF we agreed to let him coach in the NC game AND discussed any NCAA issues with him.

The NCAA issues thing is sorta a joke since we don't have any right now. No idea WTF Kirby was thinking there..

The NC thing was something I can see both sides to and may have been a deal breaker.

Regardless we felt strongly enough about Gus or had too many doubts about Kirby to come to an agreement.
