I think this confirms my thoughts that Coach Saban wouldn't get involved with Coach Kiffin's play-calling skills. This could be a huge opportunity for Kiffin to truly show what he can do with our offense this fall and I think he'll do great. Think about this for a minute: White, Black, Cooper, Yeldon, Howard, Henry, Drake, Fowler, Stewart, Falkins..... wow, What a match up nightmares for the opposing teams. I like how Coach Saban said that he would provide suggestions between the series as opposed during the drive and that tells me a lot about who truly call the plays.... We do know there was lot of "conversations" between Nuss and Saban during the season on the sideline and it wasn't pretty at times. If everything holds true to what we read in the article, we may see some of the glimpse from USC days.... but lot of new wrinkles... SO EXCITED!
I do expect Alabama to try and use limited playbook plays for few weeks, so don't be surprised if we don't see anything special for first four games..... and that's a good thing...
