He can't do better than that? Hell we sent a horrible OC to an AQ conference...even though he resigned. But still...
Disagree this will have NO impact on Bama. Saban is the DC. This is no different than Arky losing their OC. We all know who runs that offense. Smart and the Arky OC where mearly clip board holders. No Smart is a protege but him leaving Bama will mean nothing.
So let's see, we have two coordinators that aren't going anywhere and don't want to. Nick has to deal with both coordinators with much bigger fish to fry (getting a head coaching gig) vs preparing for the big game. Advantage LSU. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Nick may be the DC but now he will have to do everything that he was doing and everything KS was doing too! Lil Nicky is gonna be tired!
Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart has interviewed at Southern Miss, report says | al.com As far as I could find, he has interviewed, but they have not offered yet.
Bullshight ... all that energy put into training him ... The frustration of having a "new knucklehead" as the DC having to learn Saban's schemes Saban is already a "piano wire stretched so f-ing tight" he's ready to snap. Yeah, this plays real good for LSU ... and recruiting!
