Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart discusses the hypothetical idea of Nick Saban becoming a commissioner for college football, acknowledging Saban's passion for the sport but also expressing doubts about the effectiveness of such a role given the current fragmented landscape of college athletics.
Mark Heim | [email protected] 'Nick would be great. I know he's a huge advocate for college football . He wants to make it better.' - Kirby Smart when asked about James Franklin's suggestion that Nick Saban would be the obvious choice for a commissioner of college football The hypothetical scenario has been floated for a long time. In a world with a transfer portal, NIL, an expanded CFP and conference re-alignment, the sport is being pulled in all directions.
Count Kirby Smart, who worked under Saban at Alabama, in on the idea of Saban, though. Still, the Georgia coach has questions about such a position in college football. “I don’t know if it as simple as let’s name a commissioner, and it solved all our problems,” Smart told reporters ahead of the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff game against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday. “I don’t think that’s that case. We are governed by separate circumstances. Conferences govern us. NCAA governs us. Now we have courts govern us. “I think a commissioner would be a nice thing in theory, but what can thy effectively get done if everybody can’t agree on something?”“Nick would be great,” he said. “I know he’s a huge advocate for college football. He wants to make it better. He’s always been a person who believed in leaving it better than you found it. I have a lot of respect for the way he does it.” He can be heard on “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5 FM in Mobile or on the free Sound of Mobile App from 6 to 9 a.m. daily.
