What am i missing here, what happened?....on another note...it is very concerning that O was willing and wanting to give the job to Kiffin on a for sure 1 year deal...very lucky for O it didnt work out and great for us we got Canada...kinda think Aranda had alot to do with that since it was reported MC was Arandas first choice...its obvious O was looking at guys he had coached with first

Wow. Might be a great thing for Bama though. May not have anything to do with him being a cancer, etc. Kiffen is distracted and had a crap game plan vs. Washington. Sark has been there all year and has the same system and terminology. Probably helps Bama

Yeah, we came out pretty good getting CMC over Lane. Kiffen will find a way to screw up this next gig as well.

Kiffin's offense did not look good against Washington. Saban was furious of the delay of game penalties.

He missed the bus again. He was late for his press conference and his answers to questions about his time at UA were not very good.

The move came after an uneven offensive performance in Saturday's win over Washington in which quarterback Jalen Hurts passed for a season-low 57 yards. Saban could be seen on the sideline yelling at Kiffin after a three-and-out on the opening series, the latest incident in what sometimes was a contentious relationship between the coaches.

Kiffin, who credits Saban for showing him how to handle an entire program as a head coach, joked last week that he couldn't recall any fond memories at Alabama, only the so-called "arse-chewings" Saban gave him from time to time.


I don't think Saban considered Kiffin's comments a joke.

Yep, multiple national champion ships at Bama and has them playing for another next week. How's that not a good note? He didn't leave, Saban just wanted to do this to shore up his own lttle man issues.


You are joking right?

Kiffen screwed USC and Tennessee and was behaving like a jackass this week. Late to meetings, and the staff had it.

Kiffen is horrible and would have been bad foe LSU.

I'd bet Kiffin was feeling much less restrained now he has his own job. Kiffin acting out a bit and not worried about N$ approval.

That's exactly it. He felt free and was ready to talk. He blabbed to the media, probably mouthed off around the locker room, missed meetings, not punctual. Probably went to lunch and refused to eat at his desk out of a styrofoam box.

These things probably pissed Saban off.

Saban felt Kiff had checked out already. The arse chewings on the sideline of playoff game, missing team bus again...must have been other things as well for Saban to decide he didn't want to risk Lane screwing it up. So, he said GTFO we can handle from here. But yes, if Saban is willing to send him packing with the title game left, he must be a total shite show at this point.

Saban denying Kiffin a possible championship, what a dick move.

Saban knows Clemson is going to beat that arse so he needed an excuse for why they lost.


No, once again Saban is ahead of everyone else. Keep Kiffin for the 1st playoff game to gameplan for Washington while Sark is already putting a plan together for Clemson/Ohio State. Clemson gets 1 week to plan for Bama. Bama has 5 weeks to plan for Clemson.

No surprise. Clemson looked good. This is the first step to set up the many levels of excuses Bama will have when Clemson rolls them. Bama offense is not good enough to win without more gifts and breaks compliments of the defense.
