I understand u dont like him but lets be rational. As OC Bama lost 1 game his first year and went on to win the National Championship. In year 2 the special teams (4 missed field goals and a 108 yard td return) totally blew the Auburn game in which the team gained over 500 yards for 1 loss then his offense rolled up 495 yards (4 turnovers) in a loss to Oklahoma but you let em put up 45 on yall. Kiffen will do good at Bama because Bama is good but yall are hiring the same guy in this article here, lol. And Kiffen WAS in charge of the offense there.

I guarantee if another sec hired him you guys would be laughing and talking about what a joke he is PERIOD! Don't get me wrong I hope they do well, just cracks me up!

Dang Handi , facts don't look too good. Mite regret this hire. Sometimes coaches do better as coordinater s than they do head coaches. Proof is in the pudding. We will find out next year for sure. Think about Shula , chezsic, muschamp. They all are pretty good co ordinaters but struggled at times as head coaches. Time will tell......RTR !!!

This is the Kiffen I hope we see
Kiffin was part of two national championships as a USC assistant under Pete Carroll. He ran the offense from 2005-06 and was passing game coordinator the previous year, when quarterback Matt Leinart won the Heisman.


The Trojans averaged 49.1 points and 579.8 total yards per game when Kiffin was offensive coordinator.

I think Saban hired him more from a recruiting standpoint. Most Tennessee fans were mad because he came there and started turning the recruiting around and then left. He did them wrong and they were hurt because of that and because the fact that they knew their team would take another fall. The whole country was mad at him for the way he did. However this does not change the fact that he is a good recruiter just because he jumped ship on Tennessee and failed to perform as a head coach. As an Alabama fan I am scared of this hire, but I am also in a way excited to see what he might bring to our offense. He was the man in charge of all that talent that was so god at USC when he was OC there. We might regret this hire later on, but then again everyone else might regret it and hate Bama even more. If we are winning there will be haters regardless, so it is what it is.

Considering Bama has finished 1st in recruiting in 2011, 12 and 13 according to rivals I would be highly suprised he hired him cause yall needed recruiting help but you never know. Bama, you proved my point by pointing out Kiffens stats when Carroll was coach. I said he will do well at Bama cause you boys have the best talent in the country just like USC did when Kiffen was an assistant there. Kiffen is a gewber but he is yalls gewber now.

Baw ha ha ha .... Handi I gots a feeling you ain't gonna let us live this down , if it turns out to be a bad hire. At least he's bringing some eye candy with him.
