I don't believe in the coach-in-waiting thing. I don't think that works.
From Kirby Smart
I've been very fortunate to be with Coach Saban this long, learned a lot of football from him. It's been kind of the key to my personal success out of the places that I've coached.
To me, personally, my development to become a head coach will be much better working for Coach Saban than necessarily going somewhere else because you learn every day that you're in there.
There's nothing worse than recruiting a player and then leaving the player.
To be honest, it makes you a lot better coach when your boss is in the meeting room. You're a lot more driven every day.
I don't think I've worked a day in my life.
My goal is to outwork everybody in recruiting, sign the best players in the state, and turn these guys into the best team we can.
At the end of the day, you have to go out on the grass and perform.
It's very important that we don't make the same mistakes twice. That's a big part of improvement.
Every kid I've been around as a football player, they want their coaches to make them better as men and as players.
