USA Today has Kiffin heading to Houston... really hoping that Saban doesn't pull a Briles over now... That could REALLY screw us.

Based on talk in the Stidham thread Briles is not in play for Saban...and they don't need a QB.

Yeah I know they've got Hurts but I have never seen Saban turn down talent if it comes his way.

I don't think it would be Saban turning down talent. My point is I don't see Stidham going there to ride the bench. Yes he has to compete for QB1 against Sean if he comes here but his chances of winning QB 1 here are quite a bit better than at Bama. If Saban took Briles I don't see Stidham following him. JMO

JMO,  but I don't think Saban would turn over the responsibility of his offense to an OC with two years experience (one being under the tutelage on his father) just to get a QB.

WDE said Kiffin passed too much for Saban's taste as it was.

What is WDE an Alabama insider too now? More than likely Sarkisian takes over. It has been known for a while that Kiffin was going to leave.

No but given he rubs in recruiting circles it would not be surprising if he knew a Bama insider or 2.

If Sark's SECCG issue is true, he may be out the door as well.

Bama has overlooked much worst. I don't believe internet rumors anyway so I still doubt Bama brings in another OC.

More likely that Orgeron goes for the Briles/Stidham package now that Kiffin is unavailable to him and his QB situation is looking sketchy.

The UT Vol fans are all for Kiffin just leaving for Houston today and treating UAT just like he treated UT...................... 

Of course Kiffin may want another ring, before he goes off to fail again as a head coach.

What about the possibility of Sark going with Kiffin as his  OC?

I was thinking Houston take Rhett. We take Briles and get Stidham. Everybody wins.

Sark more than likely won't be the next OC at BAMA. The likely on staff candidates are Billy Napier and Mike Locksley. I have heard that Tee Martin has been mentioned as a possible candidate.

More interesting... how about Ole Miss ending up with Rhett and Briles/Stidham ending up with us? I could totally see Gus pawning his protege off on his buddy who just canned his OC.  Of course, I can also see a lot of pissed off Auburn fans if Rhett does well in another SEC program.

Sark drunk? I don't believe it. 

Just because someone has the reputation of being an alcoholic at one time doesn't mean we  can assume the rumor to be true that he was  drunk.
