A new book explores the complex world of modern college football and it includes anecdotes about Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin.
A decade later and it’s still baffling that the two not only joined forces in Tuscaloosa but that the odd couple survived three full seasons.
“When I met with him about coming here, I said we have to change, we have to study and we have to figure out all these RPOs and all this spread offense and these motions and all these things we do,” Saban said in a 2022 radio show appearance. “And Lane is a really smart guy. So he was a good guy to really dive into this.”
The agent who reps a solid majority of the SEC coaches had to talk Saban down that day but the two would continue to have their moments. Kiffin was not hired in that season’s round of coaching musical chairs so he returned for what would be his third and final season in Tuscaloosa. He almost got to the finish line but after struggling to juggle his Alabama offensive coordinator duties with building his Florida Atlantic staff after being hired as the head coach, Saban famously fired him between the CFP semifinal and the national title game.
