But Lane Kiffin is a very good hire for Alabama. His offenses at USC were jawdroppingly good, and Tennessee improved tremendously on offense. It's going to be tough to recruit against him too. My only concern would be how he works with the staff since he is largely unfamiliar with them. But overall, I think it's a solid hire. And you're welcome for another thread on Lane Kiffin.

You nailed it. My only worry is that because he carries an almost celebrity status, the mesh with the coaching staff could be complicated...but I trust Saban's judgement completely.
