Lane Kiffin thinks Nick Saban will coach 10 more years, takes jab at LSU offense

Starting to wonder if we should just have a catch all Lane Kiffin thread but this article had some gems in it. The last one in particular had me dying...

[FONT=&quot]"One coach joked SEC meetings are a Saban staff meeting."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"I sent our defense staff there with Coach O and Dave Aranda," Kiffin said. "They spent some time there and I'm grateful to LSU for helping our guys. "Coach O sent their offensive staff here. Obviously, I didn't help too much."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"You've got to understand, I just watched that bowl game yesterday," Kiffin said. "I was watching LSU's offense and I left Orgeron a message. I said, 'Hey, did you have like a bonus in the contract for your offensive coordinator? For every shift, he got extra money? You guys had a shift every play. You guys were shifting players all over the place on offense.'"[/FONT]

Kiffin has taken Les's spot for guaranteed laughable quote.

From Lane's lips to God's ears.

I think there are only two things that could cause Coach Saban to call it a career:

1. Health issues/age. Although he's not that much younger than Coach Bryant was when he died, he's clearly taking better care of himself. When he says that he wants to go on as long as he can do the job, I take him at his word.

2. Very unlikely, but if different UA administration wants to interfere in the football program, I think he'd go. That's said to be part of the reason Coach Stallings left, but I can't imagine Alabama hiring anyone that stupid.

Looks like Lane Kiffin is thinking the same as me. Two days ago in the Nick Saban Future Plans thread I posted that I think Saban could coach another 10 years.

Do you really think a different UA administration would even dare to try and change the football program. I would think that at this point in time he has a much control as he wants over the program. The person that tries to interfere with CNS program would not have job the next day. Coach Bryant had more power than CNS but never choose to wield it, just like you would never see CNS using his power to keep his position.

A different administration could very well come in and meddle, however, I believe Bell will be here for quite a few more years.
