Would Kirby be head coach at GA without his time at Alabama with Saban? Probably not. So why shouldn't Saban gripe about him taking his staff with him when Saban gave him all the opportunity to get where he was? So many companies have non-compete clauses and prohibit such tactics due to the inherent conflicts of interest.

Kirby also took a pic of Bama's recruit board and used it against Bama. Kirby lost a lot of the good will he would have had at Bama for his years of service by doing these underhanded things.

why probably not? If he wans't at bama he'd be putting out great defenses elsewhere. I mean look at muschamp as an example. Will worked wiht saban at LSU for a few years as DC and with the dolphins as well. But then branched out and went to auburn. Then to texas. Then got hired at one of the best coaching jobs in america. It's not because "oh, I see hear you've worked with nick saban before!" it's because he's a damn good defensive coach. Ditto for kirby.

Is that against the rules? Late in richt's tenure saban and plenty of others negatively recruited us by saying the guy was washed up and probably fired in a year or 2 so it'd be pointless to come to UGA. How is that any different than telling a recruit "you're bama's 5th choice but our #1 choice"?

so fricking what? Let's pretend he had goodwill overflowing out of his arse, what does that amount to?

Saban wouldn’t have his job without help from others. He took guys with him everywhere he went, depleting his former employer’s programs. He didn’t care how this impacted Michigan St or LSU when he left. Now he complains when his assistants become head coaches and take other assistants from him because it affects him. Hypocrite.

Maybe if Nicky wasnt a huge POS those people would want to stay around. Remember those people have a choice, to stay with what they built or go build something else.

If your boss is a total a**hole then you are not loyal to them but if the company treats you right then you will do all you can for them.

Tell Sir Nick to get that damn corn cob out of his a** and stop being such a prick to his people and they wont leave.

I'm sure Kirby feels he was fairly instrumental in the success Bama had while he was there

The idea that former assistants shouldn't hire their preferred choice to show loyalty to someone who coaches a school they are competing against is batshit insane.

Kirby didn’t “take anyone” they chose to leave. Saban didn’t “give” Kirby anything m, he worked for him. You are free to include clauses prevent all this in future coaching contracts.

Was there not anything Saban could have done to try and keep guys around? Like maybe offer raises, not be such an a-hole, anything?

Just make it more attractive to stay than leave.

Dude he's a coach not a king. That's part of it. Coaches go to work for Saban because they want to learn the system not because it's a good work environment. The guy is a notorious micromanaging a-hole and you have no life. His coaches are under his thumb 24/7

The Nick Saban/Kirby Smart relationship started at LSU.

Because it should be beneath Saban. He's won six national championships. He should be a little more secure, at this point.

1st thing he did when he got the bama job was start calling LSU coaches including the strength coach.
Hypocrite

Why should Kirby give a shite about having goodwill at Alabama? Nick's just pissed because the dam broke and now everybody in the SEC is more competitive on the recruiting trail.
