My man gets the rare twofer today. This take on the possibility of Jim Harbaugh returning to the NFL is practically demented.
If you’re Michigan you at least call Jimmy Sexton and make Dabo and Kirby say no, right? They’re both under 55, in their prime coaching years; both have won a pair of titles; both recruit at a high level; both are used to kicking the hell out of bad teams in a soft division to retain national attention. Hell, maybe even Saban for a final jewel in his crown; the vanity project of all vanity projects?
What’s a national title or two, and the prospect of a dynasty, worth to the Wolverines? Twelve million? Fifteen million a year? Complete control over football ops? All of the above?
Dude wants Kirby out of Athens so bad he can taste it.

I’m not a betting man. But if I was I would bet 500 trillion billion gazillion dollars that CKS will never leave athens.

In 20 years, Kirby might move to Sea Island, Georgia to live his retirement years, but you can bet he’s keeping the house in Athens and he’ll be back on game weekends.

I don’t think Kirby has a desire to coach anywhere else. It’s all been built here and he gets whatever he needs. Going elsewhere would just be a step backwards.
I do hope Kirby is investing in his relationships with his family and his health during the offseason. Those things can be neglected for a while in pursuit of success and then suddenly they can’t. I don’t have any illusions that he has “balance” in his life like most of us, but I hope he is investing in those enough to sustain the intensity that he brings to the season.

I enjoyed his doom predictions for UGA in his final rankings (in which Bama was #2, of course):
“UGA is losing at least 8 starters, but could be losing as many as 14…before the Portal. They lost 15 last year, and carried on, but as we’ve seen, it only takes 2-3 years of that attrition to deplete the roster. And that was before the Portal. Will the UGA coaching staff remain intact? Continuity — and especially Monken — has saved Kirby’s ass in repeated close games. ”
that’s right, the offensive coordinator whom Kirby hired has saved Kirby’s ass, as Kirby is Bad, you see

dang that dude is hilarious. Posting that losing starters as if we don’t replenish those starters and didn’t play a shit ton of underclassmen this year. It takes a special form of cognitive dissonance to imply that we are only losing good players and have not created a system to replace them via recruiting and development. Oh and to imply that Monken ‘bailed him out’ well with that logic, how many times did Kirby bail out Saban? Guess we should be claiming some of those Bama nattys…

This is even more funny than the Bammers who think Kirby wants to go to Tuscaloosa after Saban is done there. Give me a break – Kirby Smart is a UGA graduate. His wife is a UGA graduate. He has built a championship monster in Athens. The only reason he would leave is if he wants to coach in the NFL which I’ve never gotten the impression that he does. Michigan? There’s a reason it’s such a tough job – it’s cold, it’s far from the best recruits, and they have academic hurdles that most other schools don’t. Also, they can’t pay him more money than we can.
Nice little fig leaf at the end there, though, Eric throwing in the “even Saban” bit so we can’t say that you’re just mad and want Kirby gone by any means necessary.

Let’s just say for shits and giggles, Kirby has no emotional ties to Georgia and only cares about cementing his legacy as a college football coach.
I’m too lazy to look up the quote but saban himself said during our wandering the wilderness days that Georgia had more inherent advantages than Alabama and he himself would have chosen Georgia due to its natural advantages in the hypothetical scenario where both jobs were open in 2007. He basically said the only thing keeping Georgia from waking up as a sleeping giant was the right people in the right places institutionally, well guess what, we now have the right people… in the right places.
So yeah I’m sure Kirby is chomping at the bit to follow a legend who himself said that Kirby has the better situation right now.

I think that it was in an interview with either Barrett Sallee or Tom Luginbill when Saban mentioned that if Georgia could ever hire the right guy with the right administration in place that Georgia would be a monster. I can’t remember which it was but I have heard one of them mention that conversation between Saban and one of them on their Sirius show on Sundays on ESPNU Radio.
And then in 2016 in an interview with Dennis Dodd, Saban again said that Georgia, to him, was the best job in the conference.
And the cherry on top was that a few days after Saban’s 2016 comments came out Steve Spurrier was on the Paul Finebaum Show and when asked about Saban’s comments he agreed but hedged a little by saying that Georgia and LSU were the two best jobs in the conference.
