Charleston Tiger 134 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 USA Today has Kiffin heading to Houston... really hoping that Saban doesn't pull a Briles over now... That could REALLY screw us. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/aac/2016/12/08/lane-kiffin-hired-houston-cougars/95128236/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know they've got Hurts but I have never seen Saban turn down talent if it comes his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I_M4_AU 7,827 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 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.

No but given he rubs in recruiting circles it would not be surprising if he knew a Bama insider or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptau 169 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been known for a while that Kiffin was going to leave. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
