“Always liked what you learned from Coach [Nick] Saban, and it’s a two-way street. Both ways. You give people opportunities and they get to come learn from you and it’s exciting that we kind of have another what you would call a big name probably happening soon, also to add to our staff. So, I think that shows people wanting to come here and be a part of it, but it also, you know, we don’t just hire anybody because they were coaches,” Kiffin said.

“It’s people that we think are really knowledgeable in the conference and as coaches in general, to add to our staff. So, this was a really good fit that way. He came down, met with myself, met with Coach [Pete] Golding. Excited to put him in the defensive room, especially with conference knowledge, and so it should be really good.”
