Lane Kiffin, His Future, & His Brother

[Marshal Dillon]

Interesting article. Didn't know about his brother.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — All rivalries are not created equal, especially when it comes to football in the Southeastern Conference.

Yet all are trumped when facing your own brother.

Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin had done that only once before last season. In 2004 he was quarterbacks coach for Pete Carroll at Southern California, and on Week 2 the No. 1 Trojans hosted Colorado State, where his younger brother Chris was a defensive lineman.

The final score was 49-0, Trojans.

I wonder if this statement has a hidden meaning behind it... maybe like he plans on being at Bama for another year or two?

“This chapter wasn’t over yet,” Kiffin said about the inquiries he received this past year. “There’s still so many things to learn from Coach.
 
“Just going into the offseason, it’s kind of like being a freshman. I’ve said that to one of our coaches. I feel like a sophomore now, where last year you’re a freshman just trying to figure it out, trying to get the scripts ready, get to practice and stuff. Now you really start to understand how and why he does it and why it’s so successful.”

I hope he hangs around for a few years. once he gets his offensive scheme in and the players learn it I don't want to have a new system pop up. I think with the talent he had at USC he a great offense, and I believe he can do this at Alabama. RTR!

For my 2-cents (which is worth about 2-cents)....I think that last year Kiff realized how much he didn't know about coaching and especially running a program.  He now knows he has a lot to learn and seems content to take some time to learn it.  I also think he knows that if he gets another HC job and bombs out....that's probably the end of his HC opportunities.

But the bigger question is:  Where's Lyla??  (Or is it Laly?  Can't remember it's been so long.)

 , Hey MC I am with ya. I can't remember her name either. I really think you are right when he got into the process last year it really took his breath away. If you watch face and actions on some of the sideline shots, he was really caught off guard with some of CNS words, or actions it seemed. RTR!

I guess he didn't learn much about head coaching from Pete Carroll.

Don't think he learned enough from Pete.  Can't remember how long he coached under Pete, plus Pets's approach is very different from CNS'.  Just MHO.
