Well even CNS brought a couple thugs onto the team, but those guys usually weed themselves out.I suspect he will recruit whoever CNS tells him to.

That is not necessarily true of the last person who hired him as an assistant coach. (Pete Carroll)Hopefully Saban won't regret the hire. The last three who hired him previously, all later regretted it.
Good news is CNS's gag order on assistants talking to the press. I think I read the first time he will be available to them is August...probably a good thingI've always thought he came across as a jerk, but who knows.
I do recall his leaving ut fondly - I literally poured and adult beverage and sat reading the meltdown all night. One of my favorite sports-related evenings ever.
So I guess I'm torn. As long as our staff keeps everything under wraps, I think it's a good / potentially great hire.
This right here.You remember how Lance Thompson was badmouthed when he left Bama for Tenn...Saban took him back! It's good business guys...he's a good recruiter! I don't hate or dislike Kiffin. What he did leaving Tenn had nothing to do with Bama.
He was termed a "jerk" from things he said that got to the media...with Saban's policy he'll not have that chance. I like the hire! Our offence was getting so precdictable even my wife was frustrated with it, and I'm talking about a lady that cheers wildly on re-plays!!
gotta go!!
I did. Ouch!If people aren't familiar with Kiffy, put his name in the search box and check out the discussions about him we've had here over the years.
Leaving TN after one year certainly didn't hurt my feelings since they are my most hated rival. It wan't like he left them for someone like Texas A&M.You remember how Lance Thompson was badmouthed when he left Bama for Tenn...Saban took him back! It's good business guys...he's a good recruiter!

On the plus side, there was his Heisman caliber trolling of Urban Meyer during recruiting season.
And by the way, can we please, PLEASE, please give Kiffin the Ohio River Valley as his recruiting area?
