Except that Kiffin was never coming here. And O was formulating his recruiting plan based on him being here. And the shite hit the fan 3 days ago. And Ed O is now trying to fix it

How do you know that? If I were Kiffin trying to find another job as either a coordinator or a head-coach, I wouldn’t burn my bridges with Saban unless I absolutely had to. In other words, I wouldn’t tell Saban that I was planning to leave Alabama to go to LSU if I couldn’t find a head-coaching job unless I had to. Nobody is going to know how he will react. He may just fire me on the spot. Hence, I wouldn’t say anything to Saban until and unless I already signed the contract with LSU first.

On the other hand, if I got lucky enough to get another head-coaching job somewhere such as FAU, as opposed to another coordinator job at LSU, then I wouldn’t tell him anything period. As smart people don’t ever burn bridges they don’t have to burn, especially with someone like Saban. That would be utterly stupid. Hence, obviously, Kiffin isn’t telling the full truth and that’s why so many people don’t believe him.

Hence, obviously coach O knew the score with Kiffin from the very beginning and understood why Kiffin had to keep it on the down low until after he signed his new contract with LSU, and that would be only in the case, of course, where Kiffin couldn’t find another head-coaching job. Meanwhile, coach O was willing to wait for his good friend who may or may not have been the best OFC in college football.
