Yeah. From all accounts, he's fantastic. (I know he's a nice guy, but never talked football with him, really.) He is GP's choice to succeed him. But the SEC doesn't seem like a conference for on-the-job training at the HC level. Smart is a little different, he was Saban's understudy for a decade. So, the choice is...give him the job, and know he has a learning curve and we could have some frustrating seasons. Or, let him get experience elsewhere and hope he comes back to his alma mater someday.

In a perfect world, we could make the home run hire and let him be understudy for a few years. But the world is rarely perfect.

What kind of D does he run again?

He's run a 4-3, and a 3-4. Depends on his personnel. This year we mixed it up. At Memphis, he ran a 3-4. When he was at Mizzou under Steckel, he ran a 4-3.
