Lane Kiffin is a fantastic recruiter, a great quarterbacks coach, and an underrated offensive coordinator. The only way this turns out poorly for Alabama is if Kiffin can't adapt to being an assistant coach after being the head guy for the last 7 seasons.

Refreshingly, an honest opinion from a non-Bama poster.
There are areas of worry for Bama folks, and this is definitely one of them, but Coach Saban was hired to handle this type of thing, and his track record has been pretty good to this points, so I'm thinking the week that Kiffin spent in Tuscaloosa, gave CNS what he needed to be comfortable....and if CNS is comfortable, then I'm comfortable.
As for the rest of the college football world, I'd be "concerned".
