Video of pre-game talk with Saban and Kirby.

Honestly, video kinda hit me in the feels a little bit.

Makes sense that Alabama won the game now.

I said that. It was a strange game.

Nick is the GOAT, no question in my mind. And I think as much as Kirby learned from Nick, Nick learned from Kirby. Both great coaches who earned each other’s respect on and off the field.

Not sure Kirby exactly knew, but I don't think that exchange was how it would have gone years ago.

Kirby didn't know for sure but everyone knew it was coming within the next few years.

Kirby: “ I appreciate all you did for me”

I wonder if he said every time they played or if he knew this was the last time?

Way before then. He informed Bama and the BoT at the beginning of the season. I told all of y’all that on the Auburn board back in November.

Two very good coaches right there. Was a very cool exchange of profound respect between teacher and student.

I don’t think Kirby knew, just seems like an awkward pre game meet.

Call it a crazy hunch.

Of course he knew. The CFP committee knew as well. Why else would they give him one last shot and exclude an undefeated P5 conference champ?
