“Lane Kiffin is an awesome and smart guy,” Galu Tagovailoa said. “We have much respect for that guy. But at the same time, we have built strong relationships with (outside linebackers coach) Tosh Lupoi and Nick Saban. Those are the two guys we’ve built a huge relationship with — not so much Lane. If Lane decides to move on with his career somewhere else, we wish him the best. We support him with whatever he’s going to do.”

The Tagovailoas spoke with Saban Wednesday and reassured him that the nation’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback will enroll at Alabama this January.

“I just wanted to tell him that Tua is locked in with Alabama,” Galu Tagovailoa said. “I didn’t want them to think we were going anywhere else. Saban said he knew that was the case because Tua is a man of his word.”

In addition to speaking with Saban, the Tagovailoas also called LSU quarterback commit Myles Brennan’s family. A day after Tagovailoa picked up his LSU offer, Brennan took to Twitter to say that he was looking for other options just in case it didn’t work out with the Tigers. Ed Orgeron stated in his introductory press conference that he wants LSU to have a dual-threat quarterback under center, and Brennan isn’t that. He’s a pro-style prospect.

The Tagovailoas are family friends with the Brennans, and they just wanted to let them know that Tua wasn’t considering LSU and if Kiffin was to be the next offensive coordinator for the Tigers, they should give him a chance because he has the ability to run an offensive with either a pro-style or dual-threat quarterback. Alabama won the national championship last year with Jacob Coker, a pro-style quarterback.

Talk about a classy family. I'm glad their son will be representing Alabama very shortly.

One week in and Bama commits patching up soured relations between CEO and LSU recruits.

Tosh is an unsung hero. Excellent recruiter with extensive west coast connections.
