The school? Why would they do that?They had a tweet at halftime that more or less said lane Kiffin was the genius behind bama’s offense, and they are lost without him.

Not to mention that if either Jalen or Tua decided to transfer out... Kiffin would give anything to have either of them. They are very good QBs, not to mention their PR value to Kiffin.While libel and slander are outside the scope of my practice, a few things come to mind here based on my limited familiarity with this area of the law.
Generally speaking, comment with respect to public figures is given far greater latitude compared to private citizens who are not in the public eye.
Also, one would have to be able to prove malice.
And then quantify damages...
With respect to Tua, for example, from what I've been hearing, there may have been more than a grain of truth to the whole transfer thing, which would afford one the "truth is a defense" doctrine.
I just don't see a judge / jury finding anything actionable in the what I've heard him say thus far...
Comment regarding sports is an area upon which entire industries have been built.
When we combine that with the fact that Kiffin would have first hand knowledge of some of what goes on in the program, I'd say he can continue placating the various media platforms without much worry...
Could be wrong here, but I don't think it's got anything to do with him being from Texas. Rather, UT is without a QB right now and he thinks JH would be a great fit in TH's offense there.I am just as annoyed with Greg McElroy for saying Jalen should transfer to Texas because he is from Texas. NO, he should not transfer at all (IMO)!
UT is not without a QB. Greg needs to SHUT UP about any Bama QB transferring. We are very short on QBs. With supporters like this who needs enemies.Could be wrong here, but I don't think it's got anything to do with him being from Texas.

Yeah, the way I see it is Lane Kiffin trying to keep himself associated with the program for prestige and visibility reasons to help out his own career. He isn’t being derogatory, but by playing the “inside Alabama” guy he gets recognition he wouldn’t normally get. Honestly he can only play this card maybe one more season and remain relatively current and relevant. He enjoyed talking about Tua, but the kid wasn’t even on campus when Lane got fired-sorry- offered a HC job. He has no scoop on the Bama locker room anymore.To my eye he's been Lane-ish but he hasn't been derogatory. He's using us to maintain a visible profile (and it's working to his advantage) but he really hasn't said anything derogatory about the school. In fact he's been rather complimentary and supportive. I'd rather he just not say anything at all but I think it's something we'll have to live.
Sort of like Lavar Ball.I think CNS is doing the right thing by not acknowledging them publicly. When you respond to something like that you give life to it. Which is what Lane actually wants. Lane uses social media as part of his method of keeping his name and his school in the public eye. So Lane has to come up with something daily to put out there in order to be noticed for the day.
I could see him going to UH as well if he does decide to transfer.Could be wrong here, but I don't think it's got anything to do with him being from Texas. Rather, UT is without a QB right now and he thinks JH would be a great fit in TH's offense there.
20 years from now, Lane will still be introduced on radio and TV shows as "... (current job) .... And former Alabama OC, Lane Kiffin".I think CNS is doing the right thing by not acknowledging them publicly. When you respond to something like that you give life to it.

Is Greg a supporter? He seems butt hurt that he didn’t have a pro career. Sick and tired of his comments. He was probably the worst QB Saban has played at BAMA.UT is not without a QB.

He is a total dumb_ _s for even putting out such a comment.
Greg is trying waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hard to disabuse others of the notion that he might be a homer in his new career.Is Greg a supporter? He seems butt hurt that he didn’t have a pro career. Sick and tired of his comments. He was probably the worst QB Saban has played at BAMA.
