Hah I'm not sitting here trying to say Bama sucks now and aren't gonna be good.
I'm just saying, Lane Kiffen has not yet proven to be a good coach. In fact, he has proven the opposite. If he comes out and has a great offensive, kudos for the hire. But if not, I dont think too many will be surprised.
Do you agree?
I kind of agree with this. It's definitely a wait and see for me with the offense under Kiffin.
I think one of his best years was actually 2009 with Tennessee. The offense looked much better than it did in 2008 before Kiffin. While not world-beaters, UT had the following improvement from 2008 to 2009 in Kiffin's only year there:
2008:
Scoring O: 110th, 17.33/game
Total O: 115th, 269/game
Pass O: 107th, 145/game
Rush O: 88th, 122/game
2009:
Scoring O: 43rd (+67 spots), 29.31/game (+12/game)
Total O: 60th (+55 spots), 383/game (+114/game)
Pass O: 46th (+61 spots), 226/game (+81/game)
Rush O: 54th (+34 spots), 157/game (+35/game)
I think he did a nice job with a bad/mediocre QB in Jonathan Crompton.
For Tennesse fans: how much control of the offense did Kiffin have in 2009? Was he the defacto offensive coordinator? How much did he work with the QB? Did you like his offense?
