Title: "Alabama football VIP: The most surprising offseason move comes in at No. 4" Post by: WALL-E on July 08, 2014, 04:36:04 AM Alabama football VIP: The most surprising offseason move comes in at No. 4

But, from all accounts, the first spring with Kiffin at offensive coordinator brought some new life to the unit. Players talked about the different feel he brings, relating with them and throwing a few wrinkles into the playbook. Nick Saban was quick to point out none of those changes were displayed on A-Day with so many outside eyes looking. So you'll have to wait for the fall to see just how different this offense will be. It became evident changes needed to be made after last season. The Tide was still explosive and had no major issues scoring points, but there was a feel they needed to spice things up a little bit... Kiffin may be just the ticket. I admit, I lost respect for the little twit after he screwed up Tennessee and bailed on them. But Coach Saban had to do something; our offense had become predictable. That 4th-and-1 play against the Aubs (which would have won the game) typified our offense: hand the ball off and walk ahead into the melee. :wall: How different will we be with Coker and Kiffin? WV may see a 60+ plastered on them. :tinfoil: Title: Re: "Alabama football VIP: The most surprising offseason move comes in at No. 4" Post by: N.AL-Tider on July 08, 2014, 06:34:59 AM Quote No. 4: Lane Kiffin This guy is the wildcard in the group — the one nobody could have guessed would be on the Alabama coaching staff a year ago.

I used to truly hate Spurrier because he ran the score up on everyone the Gators played. Scoring tons of points is so common-place these days that I actually wouldn't mind seeing 60 put up against WV or any other team on our schedule. Hey, we've only been 8 points away from that against Arkansaw each of the last two years anyways... :lol2:[/quote] True. Maybe SC will finally win a pool with his "Bama by 99 points" predictions. :lol2: Title: Re: "Alabama football VIP: The most surprising offseason move comes in at No. 4" Post by: 2Stater on July 08, 2014, 07:07:31 AM I kind of enjoyed what Kiffin did to UT. :lol2: I hope he does it again on the field this year. Seeing what our offense does under him is probably one of the most anticipated things ever, going into a season. I hope he and Coker live up to their hypes.

Bama travels to UT this year with Kiffin as our new OC. Do you think Saban will allow him down on the field or will he keep him in the relative safety of the press box?Title: Re: "Alabama football VIP: The most surprising offseason move comes in at No. 4" Post by: 2Stater on July 08, 2014, 02:48:54 PM I kind of enjoyed what Kiffin did to UT. :lol2: I hope he does it again on the field this year.

If he stays on the field, it would serve him well to wear a helmet.

I would expect CLK to be in the booth. I don't think we will see him on the sidelines.

Last year we just didn't have an O-Line capable of imposing its will on opponents. Hopefully with the change at OC we'll have some more options if the O-Line struggles this year as much as they did last year.
