PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 He sounded a lot like the same old arrogant "falling up Lane" in the short sound bites I heard. But I'll admit he sure does look grow'ed up...nah this won't end well either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUIH1 1,515 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Kiffin is a very good OC. If you have a HC with a strong personality like Saban to keep Kiffin in line then you have the recipe for making an already dominant program (spuat under Saban) even more dominant. With the right HC, I would love for Kiffin to be the OC at AU. I would never want Kiffin to be the HC at AU under any circumstances. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yup... this is going to go well... Quote Just one day into the job, Kiffin signed East Mississippi Community College quarterback De'Andre Johnson, the former ESPN 300 standout who originally signed with Florida State but was dismissed from the school after he was caught on video punching a woman at a bar.

AU64 10,122 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 If a coach scratched every kid who had a run in with the law he would have a hard time fielding a.team. Minnesota has TEN players suspended for their bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm certainly glad he won't be calling plays for Bama anymore. I heard from one of the high up administrators at FAU that they were going to make a major investment in their sports programs, they were ready to raise the profile of their university for overall student recruiting; he particularly noted how Alabama has grown as a University because of their football success. More students means more money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,226 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hired Briles as OC. Building a powerhouse at FAU. Lol.. I really am glad though that he's out of Ttown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger88 934 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think he's had all he can take of saban based on the comments in a recent interview. Saban probably hasn't let up a hair since he has a replacement there now who runs the same O. Lots of immediate pressure on sark. Could lead a man to............ Sark in the water? Lol.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual between Kiffin and Saban. I also doubt this was Lance's decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the sense he wasn't happy with the offense s performance and just decided to move on While Saban maybe was not happy about the O performance, this is as bad as timing as you can get to make this type change. While Sark probably has been involved with the game planning he does not have the game experience for this team and the ebb and flow of how the game is going. So while he has been in the press box with headset on, he should not have had any type communication with Kiffens or Saban during the game. May not change the ultimate outcome of the game, but I do not think this makes their O better. Could make them worse. You do not make this change unless you absolutely have to.

I don't know why Sark wouldn't have communicated with other coaches during games. I agree that the timing isn't great, but I have a feeling that everyone involved, including the players, are relieved that he's gone. I'll bet it helps them, if the Washington game is what we are measuring from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Dabo's dumber than we all thought if he doesn't hire Kiffin to sit in an "analyst" role for the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for sure by any means, but I would think his involvement during the game would be limited if not prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
