Coach Lane Kiffin appreciation thread

colbysullivan · Sep 20, 2014

I will reserve judgment on the man, but as an offensive play caller, he is on fire right now. I don't remember Bama ever being in such a rhythm offensively as we have been this year. In years past, we seemed to go into a rut offensively, but I am in awe of this team. Best offseason hire, period.

Agreed. This offense is scary good when we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot.

Great job today Lane! Great job so far this season.

Coach Kiffin has done the job he was hired for. All our competitors thought CNS made a big mistake hiring him but now we know why. Great job coach Kiffin and Roll Tide!

That was a good D that we carved up today.Minus the miscues we could have rolled up 50 plus.

Every Saturday I am reminded why the Vol fans are so upset with him for leaving.

Coach Kiffin called a good game today.

The offense looks really good . I was wrong about this hire.

PDL · Sep 20, 2014

I never liked the man, but each Saturday he is winning me over. Doing an amazing job with our offense. Thank you, Coach Kiffin!

Count me in the Kiffin bandwagon too...

He is doing good, needs to get on the boys about holding onto the ball now.

Sorry to be honest, although so far so good, the biggest challenges are still ahead. Remember what coach nussmeier did back in 2012 and see how he struggled at woverrines. And how gator fans love about Charlie weis before they met us in 2011.

Outstanding playcalling and he is doing all this with a 'new' QB and from the sideline where he doesn't usually operate. Hat tip to say the least.

colbysullivan · Sep 21, 2014

I may be reading too much into this but I think his presence on the field instead of the booth is HUGE. I have noticed several times that when he is giving the QB the play at the sidelines, he sort of nudges the QB onto the field as if to say "Go take care of business. We are behind you." It's subtle but I think this is helping a lot, particularly with Coker.

I concur CNS did great hiring CLK.

JBama_in_PCOLA · Sep 21, 2014

I think it is CLK and also Blake. Blake made plays with his feet yesterday as well to keep drives going.

I could be wrong but I believe not only is Kiffin on the sideline for helping our qb's, but I truly believe part of it is for Kiffin to see how Saban handles head coaching during a game. Saban not only teaches players he develops coaches. I believe we have Kiffin on loan this year and believe he will be a head coach next year (if he wants it.) I think 2 or 3 years under Saban could make Kiffin a different head coach in the future. With that said, I believe Saban has learned from Kiffin as well and I doubt we will ever have another OC in the booth as long as Saban is here. Like I said I could be wrong but is only an opinion.

I don't think there is any comparison between LK and Nussmeier. The predictability of our offense under Nussmeier was almost nauseating. I think LK has just scratched the surface as to what's up his sleeve offensively.
