With 11 days until Alabama vs Southern Cal kickoff, we honor a #11.
From 2007 until 2015, Kirby Smart loyally served under Nick Saban at Alabama. He was a big part of 105 wins and four National Championships at the Capstone. He even stayed on through last season's playoffs after being hired as the head coach at Georgia and did not miss a step. And now... he is the scourge of many Crimson Tide fans.
This episode reminds me of another Alabama coach who, maybe unfairly, has gone from hero to pariah: Mike Shula. While his coaching stint at Alabama was not a rousing success, let's focus on the good times.
