The Auburn Tigers have reportedly hired Alabama Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart to be their head coach according to sources.

Auburn had reportedly been interested in Charlie Strong and Bobby Petrino among others for the job, but according to a number of reports, the school that won the 2010 national title got the man they wanted and will pay Smart $3.2 million in the first year of his contract.

Jimbo Fisher.  Could also be part of the Terry Bowden coaching tree.  Pfftt on Saban.

Will Muschamp. Could also be part of the Tommy Tuberville coaching tree. Or Mack Brown. Pfffttt on Saban.

Derek Dooley. Could also be part of the VINCE Dooley coaching tree. Flopped. Pfffttttt on Saban.

Cliffs Notes: Kaos not impressed.

I don't even have the energy left to be pissed about it anymore.  Guess I should be glad they didn't make Tim Jackson the head coach.

Well played, Jacobs.....

I WOULD RATHER ENDURE THE SHITSTORM OF HIRING BP THAN TO HAVE THE TURDS RUN AROUND SAYING WE ARE SUCKLING FROM THE TIT OF saban.


We need a proven coach and disciplinarian.

A couple of Bama guys I have coffee with in the mornings were acting surprised this morning that AU had interest in Smart.  They were giving me shit about AU trying to steal one of their people away.  I said, "Yes, TJ Yeldon....it happens".

For me the jury is still out on Sunseri.  I will give him more than one year at the back alley abortion that UT football was this year.

Quite the opposite..my friend.  Most of the bammer people that are smart (no pun intended or the double entendre) do not want us getting Kirby Smart.   It will piss off more of them then the group that says we are suckling from the saban tit.
