Who can honestly say they saw this coming?
Besides me of course.

If this story is accurate, CNS has done that a few times:I admit that a few times this year I've scratched my head when we have passed on downs like '2nd and 1' or '3rd and 1' etc but for the most part he has done an outstanding job.
Imho it's the o-line talent. It's just not what it has been in the pastI admit that a few times this year I've scratched my head when we have passed on downs like '2nd and 1' or '3rd and 1' etc but for the most part he has done an outstanding job.
I really think he's been handicapped by a mostly absent running game. We absolutely can not run the ball and imho it's the O-Line coaching.
He's done a great job making Blake comfortable and getting the ball to Cooper and Drake (earlier in the year). To be 10-1 and #1 with the type of running game we have? Yeah he should for sure be in the running for the award.
That's what I was thinking as well.Win this game against Auburn and he'll get the award.
Coaching awards never seem to go to those who are consistently good year after year. Saban won all kinds of coaching awards in 2008 but hasn't really won any major ones since that I can remember. Think about that. Three national championships and not a coach of the year award in any of them.Wow, but no Kirby Smart? To have built this defense with this personnel is incredibly impressive, imo.
The D is littered with 4 and 5 star talent. These awards usually go to guys that do better then expected. Bama is expected to be the best defense every year.Wow, but no Kirby Smart? To have built this defense with this personnel is incredibly impressive, imo.
As is the offense, but after last year, the way this defense has played is impressive. There were lots of questions coming into 2014.The D is littered with 4 and 5 star talent. These awards usually go to guys that do better then expected. Bama is expected to be the best defense every year.
If they had a positional coach award Kiffin should win on a landslide for what he's done with Sims. He went from a total disaster at A Day to a guy I wouldn't trade for anyone in the SEC.As is the offense, but after last year, the way this defense has played is impressive.

Coming into 2014 everyone knew if the QB was good (props to Kiffin) the O would roll.
That's a perfect example. I kept thinking before the season opener that this was a rebuilding year at QB with expectation of Sims or Coker just maintaining a level of respectability in the division until our younger stud QBs can mature. I am ecstatic that we not only have that respectability, but we have the opportunity to go further than last year. CLK deserves a lot of credit.If they had a positional coach award Kiffin should win on a landslide for what he's done with Sims.

We may not have liked the young arrogant, brash, Lane Kiffin at Tennessee, but he is a top notch Offensive mind. Turns out Lane Kiffin is a major asset to our quarterbacks too.http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/11/lane_kiffin_nominated_for_broy.html

i think sims' determination had a lot to do with that as wellIf they had a positional coach award Kiffin should win on a landslide for what he's done with Sims. He went from a total disaster at A Day to a guy I wouldn't trade for anyone in the SEC.
