Title: Kirby Smart, the key piece on defense, returns Post by: pmull on January 23, 2012, 03:22:14 PM Quote If head coach Nick Saban is the architect of Alabama's defense, Smart is the contractor. And Saban doesn't trust just anyone to turn his blueprints into reality. "To me, Kirby's got all the right stuff," Saban said on the eve of the Crimson Tide's championship victory. "He's very bright. He's been with us for a long time, so he really understands the system that we play. Not only understands how to teach it, he understands how to implement it, which I think is even more critical, especially on game day." http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1322139 (http://vmedia.rivals.com/uploads/885/1042690.jpg) |
