Kirby Smart "Very Interested" in VT Coaching Job

According to USA Today's Dan Wolken, Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart is "very interested" in the Virginia Tech coaching vacancy after Frank Beamer's retirement announcement. This has been reported on SEC Country, an SEC sports blog.

Kirby Smart, who has recruited and coached top 10 defenses during his tenure with the Crimson Tide, has been known to want to succeed Nick Saban once the Alabama legend decides to retire, move to the NFL, or coach elsewhere. This would be an incredible hire for the Hokies!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
