re: So Glad We Didn't Get Kiffin

Maybe saban remembers how he mailed it in on his last game for lsu before bolting to Miami and didn't want the same thing to happen to him. So he lets Kiffin go. Don't know, just guessing.

@ Paul Allen

Not MY list. He's a dumpster fire. His picture should be under the description of it on Urban Dictionary. He wrecks everything that he touches. He already cost Bama one championship by refusing to run off-tackle to the left side every play vs Ohio State a couple of years ago.

I'll agree that he CAN do some good, innovative things with offense, but he's not worth ANY of the drama that comes with his brilliance. I AM SOOOOOO GLAD THAT HE WILL NEVER BE A TIGER. Screw LK. He will get what he deserves, eventually.

I thought that it was a done deal that O would hire him as our OC. What I was looking forward to was the final fight between them when he eventually double crossed O. You see what Saban did. He just cut him loose in the most humiliating fashion. But, Kiffin has no conscience. He CANNOT be embarrassed. If he would have been hired at LSU, he would have screwed up there, too. However, the end result would have been far worse. Orgeron would have beaten him senseless. THAT is what I hope happens to him, eventually. THAT is what he deserves.

I would suggest you take a listen to the folks that do know if you don't trust me and my qualifications

Everyone that I have heard that are knowledgeable say he is an offensive genious. And the best coach in college football thought enough of his acumen to hand over the keys to his offens and help build and secure his dynasty. That ought to bout do it for you

Or you can look at the the last three years and his ability to take first year QBs and win championships . Have you noticed every year everyone says " we just don't know about their QB " and by the end of the season he has him playing absolutely the way he wants

Do you think his transforming the alabama offense over the past three years is luck or pure genius.

Sure , having Alabama talent has something to do with his success.

But if you are unwilling to listen to the best in the business . Nor do you Have the where withal to see his ability to develop QB. And lastly watch the mastery of how he calls plays. Then you are the one who is refusing to see the truth.

You probably thought Spurrier was a cocky lucky guy.

Already proving his reverse career path ends ugly in Boca.

This is what I have seen. I don't care one way or another about LK or his past issues. What I do know is that several coordinators and staff people come and go through Saban's Process every few yrs because they cant take it any longer than that. This was the subject of a story a major sports media did on Saban's assistant coaches a few yrs ago before LK even entered the picture. And that is similar to what I have heard from around the program at LSU when he was here.

What I suspect is playing out at Bama HQ is LK is trying to do both jobs and Saban is ripping his arse about it. Well now LK doesn't have to just sit and take it like he did prior to new job... I really suspect that Saban ushered him out the door.

Like Coach Orgeron said, "Things are going to happen the way they are supposed to".
That's why he went after Matt Canada.
