Remember Smart demanded to see every little thing that was boiling between the NCAA and Auburn at the time and he also wouldn't come to AU until after UAT's final game. There's a real question about whether he was interested in the AU job or simply wanted to know all the dirt on AU so he could report back to Saban. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3699451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,712 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Even if we hired him, he would have left in a second for UGA. I don't see Smart wanting to play Alabama every year for the rest of his coaching career. At UGA it's not guaranteed he will play Alabama each year. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3699585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 830 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Yeah. Most people I know said he was never really serious about coming to Auburn. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3699810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoetTiger 1,901 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 He got the job he really wanted…doing a great job. UGA has always been a sleeping giant, and his main division competitors are rebuilding in UF and UT…they gonna be relevant for a very long time…but for some reason I feel Freeze will have his number..just a feeling.

AUBwins 10,333 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Reported today that Arizona Cardinals have gained permission to interview Smart for their head coaching vacancy. Please go!

AUBwins 10,333 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Saban probably called in a favor and pushed that after Pollack said Georgia has taken over in front of his face lol 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3700370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,489 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If Kirby is smart he stays at Georgia but I hope the calls to NFL are so strong that he leaves. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3700381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kirby has a problem whatsoever playing Saban/Alabama. He's done what no one else could. I think he relishes recruiting against and beating Saban. Real competitors always want to play and beat the best. And he has. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3700403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where you're getting that feeling when Freeze has been on the job 1 month? Freeze will have to completely flip the recruiting narrative upside down IF he's going to have Smart's number. Because Auburn hasn't beat Kirby for a Georgia recruit since Derrick Brown in 2016. Kirby has systematically shut us out for Georgia recruits. And danged if we didn't get completely shut out in our own state during a year when the state of Alabama was loaded with elite high school talent like we've never seen before.

I was speaking in terms of his offensive system giving Kirby and his defense some problems like he did in prior matchups…..not recruiting. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185655-kirby-smart/#findComment-3700618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
