How much does a NFL DC make? Can't believe what Smart is making at Bama.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Kirby Smart never got a chance to put his Alabama defense up against Chip Kelly's offense at Oregon.
According to one report Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles are hoping the two can come together for the 2013 season.
Howard Eskin, a longtime TV/radio reporter in Philadelphia, wrote on his Twitter account that the Eagles were interested in Smart and Georgia's Todd Grantham as candidates to be Kelly's defensive coordinator.
Kelly, Oregon's coach for the past four years, was hired Wednesday as the Eagles' new head coach. He held his first press conference today.
"We’re going to be an attacking style defense," Kelly said. "It’s going to be a group of people who dictates the tempo of the game. What that spacing is in terms of is it a 4-3 spacing or 3-4 spacing, I think it’s, again, looking at our roster and understanding who I have the opportunity to bring here. I can’t tell you that we’re going to be this or going to be that, but I know the style of football that we’re going to play and I know the style of players that I want to have out there.

It is being reported by multiple sources as "interest" by the Eagles. Not seeing anything that's states is happening.
We can hope...but probably not while holding our breath.

Highly doubt it. This guy will be a head coach anywhere he wants if he waits it out one more year. Why risk that now? Unless he doesn't have any aspirations to be a Defensive Coordinator, that is.

Apparently not a rumor. ESPN radio, the above article, as well as others are reporting it.

All the links I'm seeing just say the Eagles are interested. Not seeing links stating that its even mutual.

I never understand the "we can hope this opponent's coach leaves" mentality of Gator fans. We will be competing with and beating Bama again soon. I would rather resume beating them when they are at full strength. This "let's hope Smart leaves" shows fear or at least a lack of confidence -- something I would expect from f$u fans.

I would be shocked. I only see Smart leaving for a HC job

He'll probably wait till after signing day to announce/leave if he accepts the job.

Do you think Bama minded beating Texas for the national title, even though Texas wasn't at full strength, after McCoy got injured? Doubt it.
