Big deal, everyone knows that Saban pretty much runs the defense anyway. No big loss. Bit unusual to see a coach go from one conference team to another though.

The chasing started a month ago. Richt still has not replaced Martinez, Smart is an alum...

Former UGA defensive great David Pollack posted on Twitter this afternoon: “From what I am getting guys I think Georgia has made a very SMART choice on their next DC, nothing 100% but def looks good.”

Georgia tried getting Chavis from LSU for DC (who came from Tenn last year)

LSU in the last month picked up Tenn. WR coach for RB coach, and picked up Florida's WR coach for WR coach for LSU.

This isnt a unfamiliar trend.

$700k was offered but Saban talked him out of going. Kirby had the car gassed up and everything. Todd Grantham, recently DC of the Browns, now a Dallas dline coach, is the next name I'm reading.
