Kiffin can only succeed were there is a good head coach. He took a job like Tn. and bolted to an easier conference, and a powerful program. He then set them back to a laughing stock. Lets say Saban retired and he took over. Within 4 yrs Bama would be in the same shape.
If you have the fastest and biggest players, play calling and game plan becomes much much easier. And to top it off you got Saban keeping attitudes and people in order. It was cracking me up when espn guy would say great play call there. I was like yeah the play where the lineman open a gap large enough for a semi truck. lol To answer this post, kiffin is definately not the head coach , he has proven that everywhere he has been.
