Reasons for Lane Kiffen's exit emerge

It’s our personal speculation that a few other things contributed to the decision.

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.

    Way too tame as is...

    Maybe he banged Saban's daughter. Again.

    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!

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

    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.
    @Dennis_DeYoung true??!?!?

    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.
    Everyone is talking about the difference between Kiffin and Sark
    I honestly don't know much about sark other than what the media portrays.

    I hear Saban is hiring Chip Kelly for offensive analyst to take Sarks position.

    I don't care if he eats the nuts out of his own shit if his offense is good!

    Fuck no! If you are averaging 9 yards per carry give it to him 25-30 times! Nothing demoralizes a defense like running the damn ball down their throats and not being able to do shit about it!

    Hell we are used to inferior play calling, we just usually only need adequate with our defense. You think any other team could win 5 national championships and only have 1 fucking qb on an NFL roster? It's ridiculous!
    Okay, what would six more carries have done in the game?

    Must be hard being a bama fan and critiquing a coaching staff that has won 26 games in a row.

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    Kiffen is a spoiled little bitch.

    Saban gave him a second life and he shit on him as he left.

    I feel sorry for Colorado when they hire him away from FAU.

    We are like our coach. Never fucking happy! Bo runs for 6, bo runs for 9, pass 3 straight plays then punt. Did you know we averaged 3rd and 10.5 on our 3rd downs! That's worse than on 1st down. More early down runs and we are 3rd and manageable.

    Kiffin is a douchebag. He left Tennessee high and dry and set their rebuilding back a couple of years. He rubs people the wrong way.

    No argument here.
