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.
