See, this falls into the "Kirby can't coach" comment/excuses people make to justify OUR sh*tty recruiting. Kirby may or may not be a good coach, but he damn well knows how to recruit.
Kirby is a worse Xs and Os coach. But he is a better CEO. Mullen is a better Xs and Os coach than Meyer, but Meyer is light years better CEO. You can get away with being a good coach and schitty CEO for a decade at Mississippi State, they have urg expectations. At this level you have to be a great CEO and a average coach (Dabo) or a good coach and very good CEO (Saban). But to be a good coach and a below average CEO you will middle. Kirby is a good CEO and puts smarter people in positions around him, which our CEO doesnt do.
