Has any rumors been thrown around about Kiffin?

The idea of him getting the ax because of calling a poor game against Washington is absurd.

You didn't watch the game than.

I don't think the problem is kiffin... I think it's Saban. He is coming unwound as he ages.

The line that Kiffin is toeing on Finebaum right now is he couldn't juggle both prepping for these games and being FAU HC. And that Sark is similar enough that all parties felt comfortable with the transition.

IMO that's probably true but there were likely some things like not calling a good game against UW possibly due to being distracted by the FAU stuff or maybe late meetings because he's focused on FAU business that contributed.

No. This is about Kiffin not being able to work for two schools at once.

Would you want to keep an OC that was only 50% focused on the game?

The idea of him getting the ax because of calling a poor game against Washington is absurd. Something extreme happened that forced Saban's hand a week before the championship. These players have played with Kiffin for several years now and they just know each other, there's a rapport there in the games that a new OC won't understand. He had to screw up big time to get canned today.

New Year's Eve Celebration with Saban's daughters who were in Atlanta to see their parents' for the Holidays?

He sounded like he was about to cry on finebaum just now.

I think you're underestimating that the one game left is not only for the NC, but also the one that will tie the Bear.

Saban's not going to let a distracted OC that he's not even that fond of frick that up.

Did you see how shitty the result was before? It's totally reasonable to think Saban wanted Sark to take over so he didn't have to worry about his OC being all in. Sark knows the plays, he knows the personnel, and he's been a part on prep and planning all season. Nothing has to change except the guy calling the play.
