Kiffin staying at Bama through the playoffs

[N.AL-Tider]

No matter what.  I'm glad he is doing this.  He needs to finish what he started...

Yes I saw that and I am glad but he needs to stop this crazy play calling cause Jalen can't throw the football. RTR!

We may have to change your meds, Preacher.   




He throws well enough.


Especially when he can also do this!!

My question is why can't he do this more often. It seems like he rushes his throws and I am not throwing off on a young QB I just don't see why he throws so long or in such tight coverage like when he hit Calvin 5 yards behind the LOS and there was 3 men standing there waiting on him. A big loss. RTR!

1. The pass to Calvin was a play where his first read was DEEP.  The man was covered.  His next read was Ridley, who was open.  It was the correct throw, but well played by UF.

2. The deep throws against man-to-man defenses are good throws.  Most receivers will win that or keep it from being intercepted.  One-on-one plays deep are acceptable to most OC.

3. Compare Hurts to Appleby (UF QB), who threw off his back foot when rushed, which led to interceptions.  Appleby is a 5th-year player (graduate student).  Hurts has learned to throw the ball away when pressured.  BTW, his "bad pass" at the goalline during the first half was a throwaway -- both receivers were covered (according to Eli Gold).  He's not perfect, but Jalen Hurts' ability to read defenses, throw relatively well, and run like a RB makes him FAR better than most any other SEC QB this year; among the best in the nation.

Preacher, those are an effort by Lane Kiffin to "loosen" up the defense to allow our offense to be able to run the ball better.  They are frustrating though because after watching film on Bama other teams are expecting those type plays and are starting to defend them better and better...

[ricky023]

OK I got an idea now. It just when your sitting watching on computer and it looks like your right on top of the play it seems like the speed of the game is not as fast as it actually is going I guess. RTR!

Word is out that Sark showed up drunk for the plane ride back. He will NOT be our OC.

Any word on the Houston thing?  I never saw confirmation that he actually went there and interviewed on Sunday.

Supposedly, the job is his. They are just trying to finalize the terms of his buyout. (Houston's, not ours). The good news is that he will be with us throughout the playoffs.

I've searched google news and there isn't a record of the interview meeting actually even taking place.  I have seen some of the rumor sites that say Houston wants a big buyout to keep him from leaving, but I have no idea if they actually know what they are talking about or are just making crap up to get people to click on their site.

I had heard it from a source who is pretty dead on most of the time. Things can always change, though. I personally think that Kiffin would be a good fit for Houston.
