Quite easy to argue. He brought excitement in the way of sound bite, but nothing on the field. His "Great Recruiting" turned out to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. I can't find one thing that he did while here that would lead someone to believe he did a good job during his one season here.

What else is he going to say? There's a lot of folks in Bama still questioning the kiffin hire.

You make a good point. Kiffin was 23-3 on the field as OC, but 14 of those wins (and one loss, I guess?) were thrown out because of the Reggie Bush case. I guess Saban can't really use his best selling point for the hire so he had to make something up.

kiffy was not a good coach a UT. Average gameday coach.. off the field trouble with players make him overall below average IMO

Saban needs to shut up.....like he knows anything about Tennessee fans. Kiffin hire is just one more reason to hate Bama.

In hindsight, so was the 2007 UGA game.

That was a good one, but I liked it even better when we hung 50+ on them between the hedges the year before! I worked the front desk of a hotel at the time and was watching it in the lobby with a Georgia fan. It was amazing how many beers he drank in the 4th quarter!

I'd say it started out 60/40 with 40% of Bama fans "worried" about his less than stellar record combined with his "prickish" attitude. Course there are those that immediately said, "In Saban we trust".

Personally, I think he will be fine. I think Saban sees how the game is evolving and he thinks Kiffin will get them there.

Buck Fama!

I was pi$$ed when he left because he left at the worst time being few weeks away from NSD and in the middle of the night. He took the coward's way out. Glad he's gone because we would've been on major probation.

The reason some are still bitter is because of how he left NOT because he left. He did us a huge favor. And how any UT fan can still defend him is a mystery to me.:shakehead:

Bet Kiffin's ego shows and he deviates from the traditional Bama.... run the ball/little screens. Bet he wants to take to the air more. Bama's success offensively has been due to the running game and safe passes, a success that Kiffin may not stick with....and with an inexperienced QB. Its going to be interesting to see play out and even better when Kiffin gets run out of Tuscerlooser.

I don't think Bama is as talented this year as they have been. Some question marks at QB. As soon as they lose a game, their fans will be out for blood. I can't wait...

Yep. Daphne, I think the same thing. Imagine Kiffin choking during the Iron bowl and AU wins. Talk about a trainwreck..These folks honestly believe that 11-1 is loosing season. Its going to get ugly for Bama.....AND UT is on the way up!! GBO

Kiffin is a run heavy coordinator and Bama has the horses. I think he will bolt on them the second a HC job is open. He has lost whatever shine he had after the job at at USC. My guess is he stays out of any controversy and that includes any issues with Saban. This is purely resume building on his part.
