“I wanted to say what I learned from my mentor,” Kiffin said, via Saturday Down South. “You know, if you guys keep asking this, I’m going to have to tell you, I will not be the next head coach at Alabama, okay! So stopping asking me… I wasn’t supposed to say that but I just had to.”

That line is in reference to an infamous quote of Saban saying the exact same thing during his short-lived tenure with the Miami Dolphins. In 2006, Saban denied rumors that he was going to Alabama – only to leave the Dolphins after the season to join them anyway.
