In Auburn's defense, there had to have been some concern about hiring a "Georgia guy" who could leave them at any time to go back to his alma mater. Losing a HC to one of your two biggest rivals is never a good situation, so Auburn was probably wise to avoid it.
I'd personally take Kirby. However, let the record show that what Kirby has done in his first two seasons is no different than what Gus did in his first two seasons at Auburn.... so far at least.
I'd say Kirby's future outlook (Year 3 and beyond) is looking much brighter. But Auburn did just win the SEC West in Gus' 5th season. Certainly he's proven to be a quality HC.
