Kirby Smart to stay at Alabama

In a week that saw coordinators from our state changing zip codes, it appears that Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart will stay in his.

It has been reported that Smart, thought to be a candidate for several coaching openings as head coach, interviewed with Southern Mississippi, but has withdrawn from their search.

Smart earns $850,000 annually as the Tide’s defensive coordinator, but you can expect that total to grow even more if Alabama shelves its second BCS National Championship in three years in a few weeks.

Earlier in the week Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain was announced as the new head coach at Colorado State. The Rams opened up the check book (for them), paying McElwain a reported $1.5 Million. Completing his fourth season as coordinator, McElwain will stay on through the BCS title game.

Good news for Bama. Kirby is young and will get his HC job. He needs to be patient and not jump at any ordinary job. He is building a great resume under Saban. If he is patient he will land a very good job in a year or two.

I look for Coach Kirby Smart to stay here because he knows the coaches who are leaving is giving Coach Smart the job at Alabama when Coach Saban leaves. One more championship after this year and i think we will look for the lake Waters. RTR!

Really happy to hear that he is staying. He couldn't be working under a better teacher.

  If Saban turns down the N. Korea job, it belongs to Kirby.
