I think Saban sincerely wants to be the best ever. And to do that he realized he has to change with the times. Bringing Kiffin in was a decision made to help this team win shoot outs when needed. That's why I think this year is his greatest coaching job.

very true. up until this year I only gave him credit for being a good coach & great recruiter. after not only making the Kiffen thing work but his ability to look inward and make changes to himself for the greater good was impressive and makes me believe he is also a great coach and leader. shite like that is amazingly difficult to someone with that alpha personality. that garners some serious respect from me anyway.
