The only question that should be asked is can O keep Kiffin under control? Everyone, myself included, questioned Saban bringing Kiffin to Alabama. Saban isolated him from the media and put him to work with great results. Can O do the same? It will be fun to watch if Kiffin does move to LSU.

Thats the guy lane got to switch on NSD right? He was committed to lsu the whole time. Or was that someone else?

It was Janzen Jackson.

Lane kiffin seems to be a real douchebag. Never met the guy but from interviews and on the field actions.... but can't deny he knows offense.

It's a combination of our insecure fans who bitch about everything and insecure bama fans who think everyone dreams of coaching there or playing there. Notice how they're now full throttle into "we didn't want him" mode? Of course not. Why would you want the guy running your offense the way he has the last 2 or 3 years. He's had stud quarterbacks that made him look good right lmao

You posted a bunch of facts and you won't get any substantiative dispute on any of them.

Lane is an elite recruiter and one of the better play callers around. He's a pretty damn good coach and yes he outcoached saban head to head.

All you'll get though are insults about him being arrogant and people bitching about others misspelling his name.

Great post dos crystal. I completely agree with you

He's not a great OC, but the main reason is he and O are a bad combination.

Yesterday I was against Kiffin. Today I'm warming up to the idea as long as we don't let him speak publicly.

But.... all this can be lost again if we end up screwing up our qb recruiting.

[quote]I've seen several reasons why people don't want Kiffin, like he'll bolt for a HC job soon, his playcalling or he's a jerk. I haven't seen many posters argue he isn't any good at his job.[/quote]

my gosh, there is a thread with all the stats of the bama o.c.'s suggesting he's no better than any other o.c. they have had. They also go into how florida is a bad offensive team with two ex bama o.c.'s. Therefore, lane will be bad too.

Why don't you check on his time when him and O were given free reign at a university and let me know how that worked out for USCw and Tennessee.

Why is everyone saying Kiffin would be $2+ mil? He's making about $1.4 mil now and we aren't trying to outbid anyone for him. Anything over $1.5 mil is too much and he will be the highest paid OC

He's a great offensive coordinator. Likes to pass a little too much but it's negligable.

Problem with him is you have to babysit his arse 24/7.

Orgeron would have all kinds of shite out of him. He would be walking bulletin board material.

Exactly! This is,my whole point. I think you can find equally good OCs without that issue. His time with O at Tennessee and USCw should tell you this is just trouble waiting to happen.

He ain't about to listen to what has always been a subordinate and Orgeron won't sit him in the corner. This would almost be worth it for the entertainment value. Kiffin on his own, doing his own thing. Good times.

I'm not a fan of L.K. the person or should I say, what appears to be the person. However, you have to put your distain to the side and recognize he's pretty good at what he does and can help elevate lsu.

This is correct. He's a damn good coordinator. I don't know if it's because he's a douche or because he's currently at Alabama that fuels some Ranters' dislike for him, but I don't care about any of that.

He's a fantastic OC and I'd take him here in a heartbeat. But he's not coming here, and certainly not to work for O, which used to be his subordinate. He'll get a HC job somewhere this year.
