Disappointing, but not surprising. Scott and Kirby are very good friends. They both have special needs children and their families are very close. If Scott really wants to be an on-field guy, this is a good spot for him.

Wouldn't you figure he's far more valuable as a S&C coach though? Does he have any experience with on-the-field coaching?

Perhaps he tried this and it didn't work, but if I'm Saban I'd offer that guy just about whatever he wanted to stay on as my S&C coach. Perhaps he really wanted to try and on-the-field role and it wasn't really about money (although I'm naturally really skeptical when I hear things like that).

Cochran and Saban are the only common denominators of the dynasty, and now that Cochran's gone it's just Saban.

I really don't know. Even if he doesn't get an extra cent, he'll be making quite a bit for a special teams coach, and I'm sure Saban offered a raise. I can only assume it's about the role more than it's about money. It's a slight risk for Kirby in that Scott has never coached or recruited before. But, as a special teams guy I would think that's a risk worth taking. Worst case scenario: it doesn't work out and you have arguably the best S&C coach in the country already on the payroll.

True. If I'm Georgia's current S&C coach, I'm kinda nervous, honestly.

Cochran has been with Saban a long time. Wonder what the story behind this is? Bigger loss for Alabubba than a lot of people will understand.

This is the dude doing all the "wooo!" and "you can do it" on the commercial at the little girl with the piggy bank, right?
