Lane Kiffin as a OC

His dirty dick is staying in Tuscaloosa AND YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM

 

Thank God....

 

I will play Devil's Advocate because I haven't started drinking yet....

1. Kelly is already pressing for him to be his OC in SF so it's not like it's crazy to think he would come back to the NFL. Also, Kelly even visited Alabama during practice before the Clemson game.

2. This guy is a QB whisperer. Develops QBs at a great rate. Blake Sims, the former Safety and RB, owns quite a few single season passing records. Jake Coker, who is the definition of an average QB, just won the title and developed nicely as the season went on. He made Crompton look good at Tennessee his whole 1 season there and churned out some nice USC QBs. He would be an ideal guy for Mariota.

3. Like I said a few weeks ago and got a few BS posts IIRC, he's a lot like McDaniels. Was given too much power too early and flopped. Went to an established program with a tough HC and bounced that stock right back up. Saban and Kiffin are now very good pals and the Patriots org has nothing but positive remarks about Daniels and even BB said he's changed since coming back.

4. His offense, along with his QB developmental skills, would be ideal here. He knows how to get the ball to the most talented guys and always adjusts his schemes based on opponents. Something not everyone does *cough* Whiz. He's an offensive genius and knows how to break down an opponent. Hell, he's throwing up his arms signaling TD right after the snap happens sometimes.

5. People hate on him because of his head coaching tenures. He would only be an OC here. OC Lane Kiffin is one of the best, HC Lane Kiffin is a totally different story.

All in all, I rather he stay at Alabama and continue to flourish. Alabama wouldn't have made the playoff without him last year and wouldn't have won it all this year without him. He's about to give control to Blake Barnett at QB who is a stud and has Jalen Hurts right after him, who was already impressing during his limited practice time. He also has some great weapons at WR and RB, he's not taking a lateral position in college and he's probably looking for the right position in the NFL. He'll be in Tuscaloosa for a while probably.

 

How hard could it be at Bama right now? Talent is above everyone in NCAA.

 

In his two years he's produced the greatest seasons in Bama history at QB, RB and WR. He made the playoffs with Sims and Coker as his starting QBs. Everyone thought he would fail at Alabama but all of a sudden now the job is too easy. Funny how McElwain never came close to Kiffin's numbers and Nussmeier. benefited from having McCarron. You can't punish a guy for having talent, basically the counter argument is saying give Mularkey more time because we have a crap team. Kiffin is an offensive mastermind and tools to work with. The only doubts about him are at HC.
