Title: It's Time to Forget Lane Kiffin's Past; Post by: bama57 on October 17, 2016, 12:40:27 PM Quote Enough is enough: Lane Kiffin needs to be a head coach again. All he has done over the last three seasons is proof that he is one of the best coaches in the entire country; he's transformed Alabama's offense into a multidimensional, incredibly terrifying monster that is terrorizing the college football world. The offensive coordinator of the Crimson Tide has been kept behind closed doors for two-and-a-half seasons, coming out to speak publicly once per offseason—per head coach Nick Saban's rules, during booster club events or as bowl agreements mandate. Alabama's offense set a program record for total offense in 2014 with 484.5 yards per game, with a unit that featured Blake Sims—who once played running back in Tuscaloosa—taking the first-team snaps for the SEC champs. ... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2669920-its-time-to-forget-lane-kiffins-past-he-deserves-to-be-a-head-coach-again?yptr=yahooTitle: Re: It's Time to Forget Lane Kiffin's Past; Post by: Chechem on October 17, 2016, 12:43:44 PM :clap: :clap:

You can't completely forget his past but he has changed the context of it. He'll still have to explain it in an interview.
He can now leave largely, but not completely, on his own terms. I'd love for him to stay another couple of years. Think he could leave for a bigger, better job if he does. Wherever he goes, he won't have the talent he's had at Bama. Look at what Kirby is going through at UGA.

I think he ends up back west, maybe Arizona since Rich Rod is toast.

You have to know that will happen. Maybe our next OC will come from North Dakota State he seems to win a lot of games. RTR!

I don't agree with this. The OC's that we have had since Coach Saban came to Bama have all been successful while utilizing a very balanced offense. We have had good receivers and RB's on the field all along. To me, that is a multidimensional offense that is difficult for opposing defenses to deal with...Title: Re: It's Time to Forget Lane Kiffin's Past; Post by: hscoach on October 17, 2016, 02:45:03 PM Quote "...he's transformed Alabama's offense into a multidimensional, incredibly terrifying monster that is terrorizing the college football world."

OC Doug Nussmeier was let go after 1 season and ended up at Michigann with Hoke. Now at Florida with McElwain. Also, the job Tiffin did with Blake Sims is incredible. I think this is the all around best offense we have had with Saban, excellent receivers & RB's plus Hurts. The whole package on offense. :clap: Title: Re: It's Time to Forget Lane Kiffin's Past; Post by: hscoach on October 17, 2016, 02:51:58 PM I also think one of the best things Lane could have done for his career was come and work under someone like Saban.

Kiff has did a good job and I really hope he stays a couple more years ... remember the good old days we use to cuss him like a dog :lol2: Title: Re: It's Time to Forget Lane Kiffin's Past; Post by: bama57 on October 17, 2016, 04:48:31 PM I was shocked when CNS hired him, but, thought CNS had a plan

I'm not sure Kiffin can be a successful head coach as we have already seen him fail at other HC jobs. I do agree he is one heck of an OC, probably the best in the country, but I have to weigh in what CNS has contributed to his success at Bama.
If I were him, making over a million dollars a year, I would stay right where I am as long as CNS would have me. He is really in his element right now, doing the things he enjoys doing without all of the pressures of being the head coaching and having lots of fun. He is truly an offensive genius.

You got to look at our offense and depth and talent. It would be difficult to walk away from that!It has to be the most enjoyable time of his lifeIf I were him, making over a million dollars a year, I would stay right where I am as long as CNS would have me.

I have even seen it in high school. In my opinion that is the path he took and hopefully he has learned a lot with his time at Bama.
