Yes, because "faster tempo" always means hurry up. We run out the play clock almost completely nearly every play at the moment. We could huddle every play and be a MUCH faster tempo offense if we wanted, which will more than likely be what happens.

You are going to see more passing and we may go no huddle occasionaly but we have done that in the past. I do not however see us go to a no huddle most of the time though.

Which is weird that he went with a guy that has never run that type of offense.



You are a fricking idiot. He ran a pro style offense at USC. It amazes me the people that talk on this board like they know a damn thing about football and then say something like this.

AMAZING

First off, frick you brah.

Second, it was one of your own fricking fans that quoted Kiffen saying he'll be installing an "up tempo pro-style offense" and Kiffen has never run the up tempo part of it. That's not an easy thing to do. I like seeking y'all try to defend this shite though. Oh, and learn to read to ignorant frick.

You really think it is difficult to say instead of snapping it with 5-10 seconds left on the play clock, lets try to snap it with 20-25 seconds left. That is basically what they mean by up-tempo pro-style.

And then you show your ignorance again. up tempo does not mean no huddle. It means not wasting the entire play clock every play. It means passing the ball more to gain more yards quicker. It means not giving the defense an entire play clock's worth of rest between plays.

^^^ is exactly what he ran at USC.

I dont like him, so im not defending him at all. I am pointing out that you are, in fact, the "ignorant frick".

I never said anything about the HUNH. Y'all are too much with this shite though.

eta: This may end up being more of a train wreck than originally thought. If Saban overhauls the entire staff and every move proves to be a frick up, you crazy frickers may burn his house to the ground.

hurry up is generally used to describe a no huddle. When you are in your 2 minute drill you are in the "hurry up". Ive heard that term used that way my whole life.

I should have read further up. Are you saying Faster tempo and hurry up are different in meaning?

If yes can you please explain how?

You said he has never ran an up tempo offense, when its exactly what he ran at USC. They ran a pro style offense that didnt waste any time. They got the play in quickly, huddled, then got to the line and snapped the ball with plenty of time left on the play clock.

YOU are the one that said he had never done that before and you were WRONG when you said it.

Not really, that is just the folks here describing it that way. I can produce article after article that use the two terms about the same offense. Not sure what everyone is trying to accomplish here.

It's funny, Bama fans are the only ones that think this. I watched USC a few times this year and last and and up tempo doesn't remotely describe a Kiffin offense.

eta: Why u melting tho???

Yeah, but I disagree with it. What I see here is Bama people working really hard to say they won't have a HUNH versus a Hurry up offense, but want to make sure it is called Up Temp instead...


Like I said I can produce plenty of articles describing a HUNH as an Up Tempo style of offense and vice versa. They mean the same. The only real term Bama fans may try to make a distinction about is whether it is a no huddle vs a huddle.

No what I am saying is that Hurry up and Up tempo are the same bro. The only difference would be huddle vs no huddle.

We arent making sure its called up tempo, thats just what it has been called by people close to the program. I just dont think you will see us go to a predominate no huddle. We may run it occasionally, which we have done a good bit in the past, but I dont see us going no huddle as our base offense.

It will be a faster tempo than what we have ran the past few years, and thats not gonna be hard to accomplish.
