re: Saban on Lane Kiffin's Notepad

I don't think it was specifically stealing signals, I do think it was exactly what was discussed by OP in terms of what Lane knew about us and our system and how we call it. Lane knew all of our tendencies, how we'd react to certain things working/not working, how we'd audible/adjust, etc. And he's the best there is at exploiting stuff like that. And he did, for 4 quarters.

I think that's all Saban was trying to say.

But like the Constitution, Bible and everything else under the sun, people will read the same thing and come to wildly different conclusions about what happened and what was said.

As we all know, Lane is better than anybody at seeing an alignment and calling a counter to it - even more so when he knows exactly what stuff a team does out of that alignment in that situation like he does with us.

Indeed.
