Reasons for Lane Kiffen's exit emerge
One, Kiffin’s playcalling in the playoff game against Washington on Saturday was questionable. It was clear to nearly everyone watching that running back Bo Scarbrough, who finished with 180 yards and two touchdowns, was unstoppable. Yet Kiffin only gave him 19 carries.
On top of his questionable playcalling in the semifinal game, Kiffin finally had a chance to really have his voice heard in a featured story published by Sports Illustrated last week. Rather than strictly focus on how grateful he was for his chance at Alabama and his next opportunity at Florida Atlantic, Kiffin trashed Alabama a few times.

Ah thee ole "Dawgman" journalistic approachDerekJohnson said:It’s our personal speculation

I would prefer more rumor, specuation and innuendo leading to defamatory allegations involving misuse of charitable contributions for acts of licentious depravity
Way too tame as is... -
Maybe he banged Saban's daughter. Again.tenndawg said:I would prefer more rumor, specuation and innuendo leading to defamatory allegations involving misuse of charitable contributions for acts of licentious depravity

"Banged" is such a harsh unrefined term
I prefer "partook in the fruits of"
And the linked article was interesting - daily coaches meetings at 7:30 AM, psychological evaluations of coaches
Saban sounds like the control freak asshole everyone hates, except he wins... -

All of this is part of it for sure. Kiffin was gone regardless of FAU job. That's why he took such a shitty job he was not welcome back at Bama. He was coming out of too many bars with coeds on his arm for Saban. Saban wants a coach in his 40s that is married that wants to spend 70 hours a week on football.DerekJohnson said:It’s our personal speculation that a few other things contributed to the decision.

19 carries seems reasonable. Many fans I spoke to felt like Damien Harris was their best RB.

Nope. Early in year Harris looked better but second half of season no question Bo took the reins. Obvious in game Bo was the hot back not Harris, feed him the damn rock!jecornel said:19 carries seems reasonable. Many fans I spoke to felt like Damien Harris was their best RB.

So you feel like 19 carries wasn't enough? You don't feel like they fed him the rock?Sedici said:

Just wait and see what Sark does if the run game doesn't get going. Just have a few items near by that you don't mind breaking when you start throwing shit at your TV. Go to Best Buy and by a backup flat screen for Monday.
