I didn't know what to make of the guy when he was hired . . . and still don't. But today anyway, he didn't screw anything up and appeared genuinely thankful to be at Alabama.

He talked up the players and learning from the process - and how the operation is Tuscaloosa is top notch and something he can learn from. The guy appears to know his place on this team, you get the feeling that if he does or says anything outside the norm, he will have Saban's foot up his arse and a pink slip.

H gets a for this news conference at least.

With Alabama always in the top 5 in D, I just want to see him get them in the top 20 nationally in offense and hopefully in the top 3-5 in the SEC. With the offensive talent at RB and WR, anything less will be a failure.

Must be nice having two former NFL head coaches on staff.

Still not sold of Kiffin or Coker. I'll wait for the on-field (and off-field) results. Watching the interview did ease some of my concerns about Kiffin's maturity (or previous lack thereof)

we will be fine

qb = wash
rb = wash
wr = wvu advantage
OL = Bama advantage and a big one that I'm concerned about
DL = wash
LB = wash
DBs = wvu other than Landon, your secondary is pitiful

Kicker = wvu has the best in the game with Lambert

Coaching: Obviously gumps have the advantage

If he is genuine about learning from mistakes and being grateful for the opportunity, then watch out.

If it is disingenuous and he's still the old Lane looking for the quickest jump upward, it will be a fiasco.

The longer he's here and the more he speaks, I am getting more comfortable that it may be the former. He can do a lot for us, if he understands the limitations of his role and how to work with Nick Saban.
