I get that feeling based on what I've seen in the first two games.

I've thought that, too, and wondered how Kirby is feeling about now.

LORDY NO! I pray he is not. CLK is a genius at offense but his Head Jobs have been a flop everywhere he went. I have nothing against coach but that is a scary thought. RTR!

But... would an older, wiser, more mature Kiffin with 2-3 years under Saban's leadership be ready?  I don't know. 

Here's what I see though:

Saban insists on having Kiffin on the field.
Saban seems...different.  Calmer.  Less intense.  Content to let Kiffin do the yelling and screaming.
Saban is the ultimate coach.  He doesn't just coach the players, he coaches the coaches.  Is he hovering around Kiffin because Kiffin's on a short leash or because he wants to evaluate Kiffin and coach him?

Neither will replace Saban.

I don't think Saban has burned a single calorie thinking about who will replace him.

BINGO!  Nice to see common sense at work.

Correct.  I think he trusts Kiffin to run the offense, and that has made his job easier.  But Saban's only concern is winning.  Kiffin is on the sidelines to help calm down Sims and to help Sims with decision making once a play is called -- not because Saban gives one whiff who will be Bama's next coach.

OK so we've all seen CNS in the O sidelines huddle with Kiff.  But is he also in the D huddle with Kirby?  Has he always been there? TV never shows this 'cause it's not newsy. Sometimes they show CNS speaking to groups of players on the sideline, and maybe Kirby is there.  Can't remember cause they don't show it a lot.

Can some of you guys who are at the games respond?  Thanks.

I had the same feeling watching the game Saturday. Then decided it must just be the pizza and beer.

Not me.  Besides, that was a different guy.  Our Coach is Lane Kiffin.  The UT coach was Lame Kitten.  Big difference.
