Admittedly, this is a tough philosophical matter to ponder.
I’m amused they could take time out of their busy days to discuss it, though.

Filed under Don't Mess With Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban Rules
Hey Lane, maybe it’s because people don’t like how you George W. Bushed your way into an NFL job you were unqualified for, only to somehow manage to fail upwards not one, but twice into one of the top 5 college head coaching jobs in the country. Then manage to piss that opportunity away with a complete disinterest in discipline, details, or class. Then manage to parlay getting fired on the tarmac at LAX into the Alabama OC position. Yeah, I can’t figure out why people don’t like you either.

I’m assuming you’re referencing USC as one, but what is the other “top 5” head coaching job Kiffin landed?

Sorry, meant he failed upwards twice to get to USC. Oakland and UT

I would guess that the dumpster fire that Kiffin left in Knoxville is still burning. That may have something to do with it.

And maybe that dumpster fire at USC too.

Dumpster fires are perpetual in Knoxville–how else would they cook their BBQ?

I’ll get tarred and feathered for this, but behind the scenes Lane is a good dude. I spent a fair amount of time with him a few summers back, and he’s far more quiet and laid back than most would ever fathom. Basically a regular guy who likes to throw back a few beers to unwind.
Hes just a different kind of a guy who eats, drinks and breathes football. If nothing else, you have to respect him for that as there are a lot of guys in the profession who have made their millions and are simply going through the motions at this point.
Btw, his former Hermosa Beach home was just sick.

Then perhaps we should put the question to his brother-in-law.

Just giving you a hard time. No hard feelings. I bet it was interesting to talk with him.

No worries…just didn’t recall ever name dropping previously. One of my best friends was a former asst coach under him, hence the opportunity to meet him during a relative slow period a few summers back. No big deal really.

Hey! Your post was read with interest and was appreciated here. Giving info that’s counter to the ratfucking that goes on with individuals like Kiffin is a breath of fresh air. When you make a remark that puts you in line for a Cojones Award, don’t screw it up by being defensive about the truth on this blog. You will always find some who will be supportive.

Q: if you threw Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin off the top of a 50 story building at precisely the same time, which of them would hit the ground first? (I realize that to make this example work, one would have to take the two of them outside of Alabama, but play along?)
A: who cares?
Although, some would say it’s got to be Nick, because he’s such a precise planner and so highly competitive that he’d wear one of those Speedo racing swimsuits to reduce his drag co-efficient, or he’d use the amazing power of his mind to find a wormhole from the top floor to the ground. Plus, Lane is handicapped in that we all know hot air floats.
But mostly, who cares?

Kiffin would land first because Saban is only 4 and a half feet tall.
