It was mostly about coaching bama until title game..
Yeah that has been discussed a lot and that seems ridiculous to me that Jacobs and AU would take that position......

People tend to forget things, but in 2012 Kirby wasn't a more attractive coaching candidate than Gus as well.
True.....Gus had a brilliant first year and this year was very good as well although it came up short. The period between has been pretty mediocre but would expect another solid year. He has held his on against Saban though and at AU you have to beat Bama at least some of the time and he has done that....

I am not sure there is a whole lot of regret in not getting Smart.
Gus started strong then really struggled, but this year was a positive sign.
And as far as beating Alabama, I think he is the only HC in the SEC right now to have done this, right? Although maybe Smart gets a chance if things work out in January.
Next year I would favor Alabama, but if he wins, I think he will be 50/50 against the best coach in the SEC in at least a generation.
The recruiting Smart is doing is amazing. Simply amazing, but I think we should probably hold off on crowning him until he at least has a few more years.
