That's a decision you should take an extra second or two to think about

This is not going to end well. Too much ego on one sideline.

Nothing to worry about here.

Kiffin could very well equal the downfall of Saban. It's almost sad.

Any future reference to Kiffin's rhythm better have pics of Layla. Damit.

Saban is just making sure everyone blames everything on Kiffin if it starts going down hill and the fans want to know why they are doing dumb things on offense.
