Lane at Alabama is a pretty scary concept. What he has done at Ole Miss is pretty amazing.
I really hope he stays there, tbh.

Fact: The last coach to build something lasting at Ole Miss was Johnny Vaught (1947-1970 with 6 SEC titles). Kiffin has carte blanche to continue building something new with new recruiting rules in place and the league structured differently.
Saban is the all-time greatest college football coach. (6 natties at Alabama, 7 overall). Unlikely any coach will ever come close. Kiffin has nothing to gain by being compared immediately, as well as season after season, to what Saban did. Actually, every coach out there will face the same situation.
'Bama has had the good fortune to enjoy two dynasties--one under Bryant, and one under Saban. But they did not happen back to back.
In-between, a number of coaches struggled by comparison to what Bryant achieved. And Saban topped all that.
Just some facts, folks.
