I can see why. Hilarious! :lol: Title: Re: "Lane Kiffin breaks silence, jokes about sideline interactions with Nick Saban and interview pol Post by: pmull on December 09, 2014, 04:29:22 PM (https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-4oyrqTurdTgQd6qPAx_SbZNJLE=/600x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/2346840/sorry.0.jpg)

So far it has been a home run.
How long do you think Kiffin will be at Alabama?

So far it has been a home run. How long do you think Kiffin will be at Alabama? At best, one more year. People are looking at him, less as a liability, after the year he has had, but I don't think anyone is ready to hire him as a head coach yet and I don't see him making a lateral move. Another year under his belt like this year, and schools will want him. Title: Re: "Lane Kiffin breaks silence, jokes about sideline interactions with Nick Saban and interview pol Post by: N.AL-Tider on December 10, 2014, 10:41:31 AM I think he will likely be here for another year too. He may also take a head coach at a lower level to prove his head coaching ability then try and move back up to the big boys league...

But I think he stays put at Bama for now and holds out for a gig more likely to find success.

Oregon State? :( Title: Re: "Lane Kiffin breaks silence, jokes about sideline interactions with Nick Saban and interview pol Post by: pmull on December 10, 2014, 11:18:45 AM I am not seeing Kiffin's name coming up on any short list for coaching jobs at Oregon State, Colorado State or any open job. I think he stays at least one more year and maybe two. I do not know how long it will take before he gets another shot as a HC at a big school. He could go to a Colorado State type team or to the pros as a top assistant. He may be cocky when he is interviewed but the guy can coach coach QB's and offensive football.
Title: Re: "Evolution of Alabama's offense pushes Tide" Post by: Chechem on December 10, 2014, 01:06:39 PM Quote Alabama's program didn't see it coming (Kiffin), essentially a runoff head coach, was hired by Nick Saban to guide his offense. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/95303/evolution-of-alabamas-offense-pushes-tide"He is exactly what I thought he was, does what I expected him to do," Saban said of Kiffin the day before the SEC title game. "I got exactly what I expected. I don't think anybody else expected what I expected, to the point where I even got criticized for doing it by a lot of people. "But I got what I expected. You all didn't get what you expected." Again, Coach Saban was right! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: Title: Re: "Lane Kiffin breaks silence, jokes about sideline interactions with Nick Saban and interview pol Post by: Jamos on December 10, 2014, 01:40:54 PM I know everyone is speculating as to how long CLK will be at Bama and as everyone is thinking he will be a head coach in the near future, but I'm not so sure of that. After reading the article below on Al.com, I'm not so sure he's in any hurry to be a head coach again.
Quote On being an assistant instead of worrying about the whole program: One of the million things I feel I was spending more time in player development, even in the game, because as the head coach, you can't do what I do now. I sit with Blake Sims, Amari Cooper the entire game when the defense is out there and we don't get up until we have the ball going over everything, adjustments, things we do. It's been fun to be able to do that again, also to learn from coach Saban. He's just unbelievable. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/12/in_rare_interview_lane_kiffin.html#incart_river Title: Re: "Lane Kiffin breaks silence, jokes about sideline interactions with Nick Saban and interview pol Post by: 2Stater on December 10, 2014, 01:54:02 PM I know everyone is speculating as to how long CLK will be at Bama and as everyone is thinking he will be a head coach in the near future, but I'm not so sure of that.

I think he knows he has hit a homerun here and ain't nowhere near ready to walk away. I can see another thing kind of like the head coach he had at USCw and the dynasty there. Look out, he with a better head coach now than ever before. I don't look for him to leave anytime soon. Next year will be a monster offense. RTR!

I imagine he has enjoyed this year. He should be proud of the job he has done with our offense and the development of Blake Sims into an All-SEC QB. It is the first time since he left USC as a coordinator in 2006 that he has not been under a tremendous amount of HC pressure to win. I think he will get another opportunity to be a HC at some point in the future if that is what he wants to do. IMO he will leave Alabama 1) for a HC job, 2) lateral move to a west coast school because his family wants him to 3) assistant job in the pros as an OC or QB coach.
