re: Lane Kiffin: Real Life Troll

First of all, Kiffen was fired and left on the tarmac at USC.

After that point, after he was fired, no one wanted Freshwater, and Saban was laughed at for hiring him, and that's a fact. He was able to reproove himself working under Saban and yeah it was a mutually beneficial working relationship, but don't pretend like him working for Saban wasn't a huge benefit to Kiffin's career for the foreseeable future.

Taking coaches off the scrap heap and putting them on staff is what Saban is known to do. He did it with Kiffin (note the spelling). He did it with Sarkisian. Hell, he did it with Butch Jones.

My point remains, and you can't refute it. Saban didn't "mentor" Kiffin. He hired Kiffin to run his offense.

Kiffin could have had a job like FAU instead of working for Saban, but he chose to chase a ring at that time in his career. Of course it benefited him, but don't pretend that it didn't benefit Saban, either.
