Former Alabama coach reacts to Kirby Smart's kind words.
Kirby Smart wasted little time Tuesday at SEC Media Days in Dallas expressing his gratitude for his mentor Nick Saban“He’s the best assistant coach we’ve ever had ,on defense, especially, and seeing the big picture of the game,” Saban, 72, said during Smart’s appearance on SEC Now.“A couple words I want to say to Coach Saban, who meant so much to me in my career,” Smart said earlier in the day,. “First of all, the words he shared at the ESPYs the other night were incredible.
The panel joked that Saban was ranking his former assistants, but Smart quickly pointed out that only one of those coaches would have a problem with the ranking.The joke over recent years is that Saban is texting these days. Smart was asked if he can tell it is really Saban texting. Smart replied: “It’s the emojis. It’s the thumbs up. Lane and I have a side-action thread. Every time he responded we shared it with each other. We’re so excited. It’s like getting the first text of your life when it comes from Nick Saban.”
“They said this guy who stopped Saban was like a four-star recruit. I was like, ‘he must’ve had a personal vendetta against Coach. He didn’t recruit him or something.’
