re: So theres a spot for Hugh Freeze now

Saban's hiring of Lane Kiffin was a departure, at least by by his standards, from his usual ball-control, clock-management offensive style. I distinctly remember one Saban presser in the Kiffin era when he went off on a reporter for suggesting that he ran a ball-control offense -- and quite frankly, at that time, he was mostly right. Nick has shown he's willing to adapt and evolve, and I think he swallowed a healthy dose of that when he called on Lane. Alabama's offenses of late, particularly with Hurts, have reminded me more of Gus Malzahn than Jim McElwain. Furthermore, I just don't think the deepest defensive bench in college football worries a hell of a lot about spending a little extra time on the field, provided their offense is scoring points. And Freeze would do just that.
