I’m sure if Kirby didn’t like it he wouldn’t allow it

It is my understanding that he wants them to call him Kirby

How many times have you heard the term Coach Kirby or Coach Smart from anyone? Everyone refers to him as Kirby.

This feels like a scene from that movie “Idiocracy”.

Luke Wilson asks a simple question. Then a retard repeats the question back to him as an answer. And the retard sincereley thinks that he has just made a really good point. In fact, other retards click red arrows on it. And Luke Wilson cant even believe it.

Feel like I've heard Coach Smart a lot more than Kirby

Nolan and the defense guys would always say coach smart IIRC

CFB is now a business. The people they interact with are no longer mentors to be looked up to. They are now colleagues.

It sucks and I don't like it but thems is the breaks...

1) Smart wants them to call him Kirby.
2) See #1
3) Beck can call Kirby anything he wants at this point as
long as it's not disrespectful. I think he's earned
that.

Yeah, I thought it was common knowledge that Kirby has told them to call him "Kirby" if they like. I've heard more than one recruit confirm it.

Being on a first name basis with recruits and players makes it easier to recruit and retain talent.

Kirby is unique in his ability to relate and maintain relationships, including with recruits who may go elsewhere.

Saban manages with fearful authority. That management style is failing.

To me referring to Deion Sanders as "Coach Prime" is a more telling sign of the times.
