“Saban pulled Kiffin out of the scrap heap. He failed everywhere he coached.”

Kiffin play calling in several games sucked. I wanted Saban to take Kiffin’s head set away and start calling plays earlier than he did. Kiffin is still a west coast offensive coach... throw the ball ...throw the ball...throw the ball. Alabama is a running team and it seems to take to the 4th quarter for them to quit the passing crap and run it and it works.

Kiffin came to TN and brought his father in law as defensive coach. He was a lousy coach and got TN in trouble for recruiting violations. It has taken years to get TN almost back up to where they were before Kiffin. Butch is doing a good job.

Glad to get Kiffin out of the SEC.

Yep - I don't follow team strategy too closely, other than being glad we have Saban and thinking a lot of his wife. However, I remember thinking that Kiffin wasn't the best hire and not exactly sorry to see him go. Clemson did seem to wipe the floor with their opponents this weekend, and that does have me somewhat concerned.
