A.) We are only on page 5 so if we ended this thread 5 pages ago it would not exist.That's a given. Of course we all want what's best for him, but if this was really such a non-story and people weren't interested then we should have ended this discussion 4 or 5 pages ago.
I think we all keep coming to this thread looking for the latest info because we DO care.
IMO, Pruitt would have stepped up and became our next DC once Kirby left. Now that JP has went to FSU, Saban will now look for a DC from another staff.Hypothetically if he goes will Coach promote within or go with a new DC from outside?
I honestly don't think we have a defensive coach within our staff that would be able to fill in. However, Saban has traditionally promoted from within on the defensive side. Saban has his finger on the defense. Not sure if Chris Rumph is ready yet. We lost Pruitt. I wonder if Sal Sunseri will come back. Was Derek Dooley a defensive coach or offensive coach while with Saban?Hypothetically if he goes will Coach promote within or go with a new DC from outside?

Ian Rapoport said:Heard back from a source on Kirby Smart-to-the-Eagles: I'm told "no truth to it." Sounds like some UGA peeps are having some fun #recruiting
I think Pruitt is being given too much credit. Heck 5 or 6 years ago he was eating turkey on Two-a-Days and trying to figure out how to stop Vestavia.IMO, Pruitt would have stepped up and became our next DC once Kirby left.

I mean what are his options?
Lance Thompson- seriously...hell no
Rumph- great d-line coach but not ready to take the helms of DC (at least not at Alabama)

Just telling you what I have been told...(Don't shoot the messenger and all that jazz and stuff)I think Pruitt is being given too much credit. Heck 5 or 6 years ago he was eating turkey on Two-a-Days and trying to figure out how to stop Vestavia.
Hopefully we never ever hire Grantham for anything, if we're lucky. Not as good as advertised and he's a ......It seems like Coach has done a very good job hiring the OC's lately, so I don't think it would be a problem hiring a DC.
How about the UGA DC? Offer him $more$ than UGA! Isn't that what UGA tried to do to get Smart a few years ago. Isn't that why Smart has a million dollar ($900,000+) salary? If we don't get UGA"s DC, Grantham isn't it, we will get him a much higher salary at UGA.
He was CNS's choice to replace Smart when he almost left for UGA.Hopefully we never ever hire Grantham for anything, if we're lucky. Not as good as advertised and he's a ......
I don't necessarily expect him to leave for the Eagles. I do expect that he'll make the best choice based on what HE needs out of life, but who really knows when he'll wind up leaving us?Seems like a lot of you expect smart to leave now

Showoff...I personally have met (no I am not syndicated) and talked football with Kirby and like him as a coach and a man, but I am not going to sweat this decision that HE has to make.
Remember seeing a tweet when CKS was in the AU mix. The tweet said CNS had already talked to someone about replacing CKS. He's got his list and will go by it when the time comes (and with as many interviews as CKS is doing, I would think the time is coming).My suspicions is, if we do lose KS to the NFL, Saban will hire someone completely off the radar, much like Coach Nus, to come in and become the next DC.
