Shouldnt the fact that Saban doesnt want to re-sign LK, tell us a lil something?

Do we know for a fact that Saban doesn't want to re-sign him?

I would guess that if Saban doesn't want him he is likely tired of putting up with him. Saban is a control freak and Kiffin is a man child. Those two don't mix well. Just pure speculation on my part. Nothing has been made public that saban does or doesn't want to keep him. Only that he supports kiffin in his future endeavors.

For all we know it could be a money problem. Kiffin wants to get paid more so he asks Saban and is denied. Multiple reasons to guess about.

Two alpha personalities is all.

Kiffins interview said that they had talked, and him returning was up to Saban

So, my premise is that Saban is letting LSU twist in the wind, and he will re-sign Kiffin

You answered your own question. The last part of your post and Sabans comments in the last few days tell the story. Saban knows he's leaving anyway and is doing all he can to make sure it isn't for LSU. Not because he's scared but because he's smart. LSU with a good offense is trouble for Bama and we all know it. We played them better than anyone with no offense.

Ya'll need to hurry up and make your minds up. Are we supposed to have tantrums and lose our shite if he comes to LSU or if he leaves us.
This is all too confusing.

Whichever one actually happens

Sport, that wasnt my opinion. That was Kiffin himself saying that wanted to return, that he had talked to Saban it, and the ball was now in his court. Then Saban has been saying since then that Kiffin is ready to move on to a HC job.

So either Saban is either going to re-sign him if no HC opens. So Alleva got played. Or Saban doesn't want to re-sign him, which is telling. Thereby playing Alleva like he did with Steele

You don't understand what the word fact means.

You might want to share that with Kiffin too. because he clearly said he told Saban he wanted to return, and all Saban has talked about since is Kiffin moving on to a HC position

"its up to coach now" = Saban hasn't expressed an interest in re-signing me

OTHERWISE, Kiffin would have said, "its up to ME", because there is an offer on the table. And since LK didn't say that, its a fact, not an opinion

FACT: there is no current offer on the table for Kiffin to return as Bama OC

here is my take...Lane was given a 3yr deal with the assumption that he would have a head coaching gig by then. Based on this, Saban made plans to bring in his successor (Sarkisian). Saban never foresaw Kiffin even being considered by LSU until O go the job...
