yankeedawg1, one major difference of Kiffin being in Tuscaloosa. Kiffin does know the game of football, problem was with his "oversize hat size". Happens to a lot of young folks. Saban will not allow that. Period.
Kiffin will coach talent in Tuscaloosa that is one step below NFL level, some say on par with some NFL teams. While Alabama will be the "hunted" . . . . Alabama continues to be the "hunter".
Kiffin understands using tightends, that will only increase what will happen in Tuscaloosa this season with Coker coming from FSU to Alabama to run the team. All any of us have to do is check out FSU last season and how Fisher used his tightends. Scary me thinks with the running backs that they have along with . . . . an offensive line.
Really glad that we signed tightend Jackson Harris. Alabama wanted this young man "real bad". Alabama however will do as they have in the past, find someone on the same talent level and sign them.
Personal opinion, Nick Saban made a very good move. He is simply head and shoulders above anyone coaching in the SEC, maybe in college football.
Just some thoughts . . . .
