re: Saban surprised by reports linking Kiffin to LSU

Saban's pretty influential. That's been demonstrated. It wouldn't likely cost Kiffin a job, but it could easily cost him a desired job if Saban offers a potential employer a negative assessment. Kiffin might be immature, but I'm not sure he's stupid enough to overlook that.

You're crazy if you think Saban wants Kiffin in the same conference with him not to mention the same division. Saban will say and do whatever he has to to make sure Kiffin is out of the SEC.
