You have to really have issues to coach one playoff game and be shown the door before a national title game

Woah. That's pretty crazy. They clearly don't like each other.

Offense certainly didn't look great that day.

Actually bad news to me. I thought he called a poor game against Washington, and was hoping he'd be around to do the same against Clemson.

Thank God he didn't come here. Dude is garbage. How bad must he be for Saban to rid him now?

Should give Saban more recruiting opportunities right, being down a coach? Sark officially elevated?

I am very happy he went elsewhere. Canada is a top tier hire without the baggage.

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

Saban got tired of Kiffin recruiting Bama backups to transfer to FAU.

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

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.

Who knew that eating your own boogers leads to immediate and highly beneficial career opportunities ?

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.

For all those, including Nick Saban, calling Kiffin out for a bad game plan against Washington, I call BS because, of course, no one from Bama would admit that Washington actually had anything to do with Bama's poor offensive outing in that game.

If I was Clemson, I'd stack the line and force Hurts to beat them with his PASSING game. Ain't gonna happen. Dude is inaccurate and runs under pressure. Geez, he's a freshman, not a 4 year senior. Without glaring holding calls against LSU, Hurts does not score a touchdown.

When it comes to coaching changes, Saban is a liar. Hell, he announced leaving LSU on Christmas day. What kind of egotist does that? And "I am not going to coach at Alabama." when he is at Miami coaching as a failure.

Yes, Saban wins championships, but it still does not distract from him being a first class a-hole.

I am no Kiffin apologist, but first it was "Al Davis" who fired him at Oakland. Al "fricking" Davis of all people who had his own way of screwing up an organization.

Tennessee was bad, real bad.

USC was stupid, just stupid to fire Kiffin. The school was on probation and Kiffin had them moving in the right direction.

Saban arse chewing Kiffin on the SIDELINE is well documented. I mean, I don't recall any head coach arse chewing an assistant coach so much on camera at any time.

Saban will go down as one of the greatest COLLEGE coaches ever, but he ain't perfect. Only the refs on the field and in the SEC offices (in Bama) help make that happen. Saban is a great recruiter and has his teams often executing game plans almost flawlessly, but that makes him a great coach, not a flawless manager of coaches.
