In the Kirby Smart radio interview, he mentioned Kiffin meeting with Tom Herman while Herman was in town to discuss Alabama's defensive tendencies. Link
This comes a few months after we learned TCU's coaching staff was coming to Tuscaloosa for recruiting tips in return for allowing Lane and Monte Kiffin learn about their offense. Story"... And even Lane (Kiffin) met with him offensively to get some ideas for us, as well.”
Anyone want to take a guess at what Kiffin learned from Herman and TCU's staff and what he'll incorporate into the 2015 offense?It’s a tradeoff, of sorts. Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and his father Monte Kiffin were at TCU on Wednesday, popping into Patterson’s meeting with reporters on their way out.
While the Crimson Tide coach got a look at TCU’s version of the uptempo spread, which Alabama began to sprinkle in last season in Lane Kiffin’s first year, the Horned Frogs staff will look at Alabama’s approach in luring No. 1-ranked recruiting classes year after year, Patterson said.
