He's done a phenomenal job with our offense considering our offense line woes.

With a subpar OL and a former RB as starting QB, Lane Kiffin has made Alabama's offense unstoppable (at times). It's really amazing.

Sometimes I want to bitch slap him and sometimes I want to hug him.

Glad to have him this year. But also happy to have Saban jump on his a$$ when gets over his head and tries to get fancy.

Hes a great schemer and good at getting players the ball, but I don't think he's a great play caller and there are times when he forces the pass when we could run all over some of these teams.

I think Lane and Saban are perfect for each other. Lane is an amazing play caller, but occasionally he get too fancy and Nick seems to be there to reel him back in.
I hate running out of shotgun looks, but I think I just have to accept it at this point.

Those two sentences side by side make zero fricking sense.

Hed be even better if he stuck more with the run especially when its unstoppable

Those sentences mean that he is good at getting play makers isolated and getting the match ups he wants, he's not good at calling a play sequence that keeps things in rhythm and using what works. For instance, tonight the run was working and he starts calling pass plays.

But there's only one sentence there...

The pass was working too. Sims just made some really dumb throws. Basically everything we did worked; I don't see how anyone could complain about playcalling after that game.

I disagree here. Excellent play caller imo.

I was hesitant at first regarding Kiffin but it had more to do with his off the field antics than his coaching.
He is great at calling the plays. His only limitation is Sims ability to execute the play. I am not sure if any other OC in the country could get the production out of Sims that Kiffin has nor would support him like Kiffin has. Kiffin is not the one forcing the pass or under throwing a ball that is intercepted. The plays the majority of the time are there if executed correctly.
I also like the dynamic between him and Saban. They respect each other just like Saban and Smart. And they feed off of each other.
We have some of the best minds in CFB if not the best on the sidelines.

I'm not just talking about just this game; I mean the whole season. There's been times when he just couldn't get a rhythm goin or when him gettin too cute stalled the drive unnecessarily. It's just my opinion though, we can disagree. I think overall he's been good for us and has helped the players relax a little. I've never seen our team dancing and havin fun like they are this year.

Same two teams play with Nuss still as OC and Bama loses the game.
Posted on 11/30/14 at 11:02 am to frankreynolds
I disagree. All season he has been spectacular, imo. Nuss was a shite playcaller, imo.

I agree ABDIW.
I had both concerns and excitement going into the season. However, Kiffen has far exceeded any hopes I had. I think he has proven himself as a game planner and as a play caller. Hope we have him many years but I don't expect it.
It also appeared that we were counting number in the box last night and that was dictating play calling/audibles. At least at times.

IF he stays long enough to work with Barnett.......part the Red Sea Moses the Tide will be coming in regardless. I do think that this year will be the same as last year concerning our defense. Things are changing. If Smart is here or not does not make me think that the Bama D will not adjust. Saban is stubborn and consistent. I think the consistent winner Saban will overcome the stubborn Saban. In short, we are not done evolving yet. The rebirth of our front seven on D is evidence of this point. Even high powered offenses falter when the QB is uncomfortable. Combine that with redshirted/learning elite DBs. There is a college version of Belichick. The reality of this happening is scary. Very SCARY at a place like UA on the college landscape.
