A reporter asked Saban if Kiffin was given the freedom to open things up more, and Saban responded with a three-minute answer saying it’s the way it has always been. Here’s his full answer.

“I’ve been begging the offensive coordinators around here to open it up ever since I’ve been here,” Saban said. “Jimbo Fisher was the best offensive coordinator I ever had that did what I wanted to do, and everybody wants to run the ball. Now, we always had a very good team to run the ball, and we had a very good defense, and it was really smart to play the way we played. Now, we have more skill players that are good perimeter players, and I think we are doing what we need to do on offense to take advantage of that. Lane does a really, really good job of taking advantage of what players can do.

....

My philosophy hasn’t changed at all. I’ve always asked for this. Why don’t we throw the ball on this look, instead of running this play where we can’t block everybody, which is what we do now?

We aren't the only ones who got tired of Butters N Nuss conservative crap.

Let that sink in... Saban would rather sing the praises of a disowned pariah who was railing his daughter, than compliment Butters and Nuss.

That was right around the time he hired KIffy. He may not have known that Kiffy was plowing his daughter and his wife.

Gotcha. I didn't read the article. I was just going off the excerpts that you posted. Didn't realize it was that old. Hell, I wouldn't have been surprised to learn Saban gave that interview on the phone, in his living room, as Lane walked butt naked past him into his master bedroom. He's just being honest. Either way, he knows that Mac and Nuss both suck. At this point, who doesn't?

That was from 3 years ago but forget that and get to the good stuff...what’s the scoop on Kiffin nailing Saban’s daughter?! Give us all the details as I’ve heard zilch about it.

You've never heard about that? Check it out. Google is your friend. It damn near broke the internet. Put it this way... the news of Saban's daughter broke, a few months later Layla filed for divorce, and then Kitten and Saban had an openly hostile on-the-field relationship that led to Lane getting fired before the title game. It was kind of openly known over in Tuscaloosa for a while. They had been seen out together too many times for it to be a secret. As long as they were winning, I don't think Saban gave a damn. Hell, he'd probably sacrifice her like Abraham planned to do to Isaac, if he knew it would give him a title. Maybe that's what happened... hmmmm...

I actually Googled it after I replied to your post and read up on it. I also saw a picture of Saban’s daughter and I’ll say this...she’s no looker that’s for sure. If Lane hit it, my guess is it was just to get back at Nicky for all those sideline azz chewings.

Kiffin can run an offense but he would probably have us on probation for 4 or 5 yrs after he left. However i would take him over the bums we have now!
