Why?
There are plenty of options.

For one he would be our best bet at retaining the current crop of recruits, which is going to be vital in keeping this ball rolling should saban bolt.

Secondly other than Urban Meyer there isn't a proven homerun college coach out there. Kirby has been here for 7 years. He has a relationship with the high school coaches in our recruiting base and he is a relentless recruiter and a great defensive mind.

I feel like one way or another Kirby Smart is going to end up a great head coach somewhere, I think it would be a shame if he didn't get that opportunity here. It would be the ultimate salt in the wound if we hired a "proven head coach" (one without a resume close to Saban's championship caliber) and Kirby Smart went on to have Jimbo Fisher type success elsewhere.

I think seeing as that there isn't a homerun hire out there I think it would be a smart gamble (no pun intended) to see what Kirby can do, we may just hire the next great college football coach
