Say what you want about him, but the guy knows his offense. He is very good with the pro set formation and will have to answer to someone, something that eh did not have before. When put on a chain, he is very good.

Great opportunity to rehabilitate his image. Probably what he is best at.

I am surprised this happened, but I think I would rather have Kiffin than Nussie in Bammer ... not that it would really matter, with that talent even Sunseri could succeed as an Offensive Coordinator.

Kiffin has done good and bad things as a coordinator. It will be interesting to see how he does back in the SEC. I hope he fails miserably.

good thing - cause it riles folks up. Kinda look at Kiffin as the trailer park version of Steve Spurrier. He'll also add another, and IMO good one, dimension to Alabama recruiting. Don't think Saban will let him roll around like a loose bowling ball though - which is sad in some ways..

Is he good at coordinating an offense ? There was nothing wrong with Alabama's offense in 2013. The offensive line was good - but not as nasty as they've been.

Defense - and defending these mickey mouse high school offenses is the primary issue.

Wonder if he thinks Tuscaloosa is more unbanomic than Knoxville? It ain't Laguna Nigel, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach or Malibu. Just "Dreamland BBQ". LOL

Good article about a Lane who was born on third base. I doubt that Alabama will be any better on offense then they have been in the last couple of years.

He hasn't even put pictures up on his office, and already Clay Travis is describing the top ways he will be fired. :)
