Alabama Crimson Tide buses leave OC Lane Kiffin at stadium

I was thinking the same thing during the game. They have four 5* QBs on the roster and they went with Coker.

Well, four 5* QB's isn't quite right... The starter, Coker? 3*. His backup, Cooper Bateman? 4* Third stringer, Alec Morris? 3*. The two other QB's on roster are both 4*. Not a single 5* QB on the roster.

As much as I hate to say it Lane Kiffin called one hell of a game against Clemson as he did against Michigan State. Where was all this genius when he was head coach at Tennessee?

Too bad he didn't miss the bus to the game!

Kiffin being a champion is almost as bad as Saban and Bama winning again. Bama in some articles claims 16 NC's. WTF! LOL! They have won so many dubious NC's that I couldn't pull for them to win another NC. I will root for Bama in other sports if the NC is on the line but I can't in football.

45-40 is ridiculous. What happened to defense in college football? Too bad Clemson lost.

As for Kiffin he should stay at Bama and ride it out. He may be the next head coach there.

Because being a coordinator is different from being the head coach. He is obviously an outstanding playcaller. But he is a proven loser as a head coach. The most obvious example of this is Dick LeBeau. LeBeau will be a first ballot HOFer. He's been that good as a DC. He is a terrible head coach. Some guys just aren't leaders.

Lots of OCs are good at calling plays. The hard part is having the players that can execute those plays. A lot of OCs across the country would look like geniuses with Bama's roster.

The Bammers have their sights set on Dabo as Saban's replacement.

Is it really that hard to be the OC at Bama? When you have the best OL in the country, year in and year out, you really don't have to be that creative.

Exactly. He is awful and called a crappy game last night. If he had kept feeding Henry in the first half instead of trying to make his QB, who was having an awful game, throw on 1st down Bama would have gone into halftime up by 3 TD's.This game never would have been close. He actually makes Bama look worse with his play calling than they really are.

They should just outlaw that damned forward pass thing.

You could throw dice before every play with Bama's O and tear up the field for 500+ yards. OTOH, I did think Lame called a good game with the surprisingly bad play of his Quaalude QB plodding thru his progressions timed with a calendar.
